[koreen]

i'm a 4th year highschool student and our graduation is nearing that's why i'm really really desperate for a good good graduation song. a good graduation song that is not overused and a good graduation song for about 50 people to sing. you see. we are going to sing this for our graduation .
i've been listening to loads of recommended songs from other forums and all went up dead because some are too hard and some my classmates didn't like. i wanted for good from wicked but they didn't like it. was my taste bad from picking for good? please help me by suggesting songs.please.help

Everyone always says Vitamin C - Friends forever, which is overplayed and overgayed. My advice is go with Greenday - Time of your Life. You should get someone to play it on the guitar also. It would be awesome. Its a really simple song and only like 3 ins long but if you listen to the lyrics its quite appropriate for a graduation. Hope this was helpful.

How about Ce Ce Penistons' Finally?

Eeep, I'd say Time Of Your Life would be *the* most overused song for graduation.

Hows about the theme from Happy Days? It's fun, a bit cheesy but very simple. Or something by the Beatles. I'm not sure what kind of thing you mean because I've never been to an American high school graudation and we don't do the same kinda thing over here in the UK but I'd imagine you want something that everyone knows. Hmm. I'll have a think :)

Starmaker by the kids from Fame is cheese on toast but will have everyone weeping! For Good is also amazing but most people ,ay not know it. How about "Journey to the Past" from Anastasia, the Disney film? Or You've got a Friend?

[**Clem**]

How about the New Radicals 'You get what you give' or Eddie and the Hotrods' 'Do anything you wanna do'?

If you want something slower, could always go for Lean on me or that song they sing at the end of Fame? x

Never Forget by Take That. You know you want to.

At our graduation we had 'You Raise Me Up' I know Westlife recently ruined this song but it was sung by a full choir in a cathedral and it sounded really good, shivers down the spine, made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck stuff. Its also a pretty emotional song when you listen to the lyrics I just kept thinking of all the help and support Id received throughout my course from friends and family.

have a listen to jerniro by armin van burren

trance techno style words like-- this is my home this is

where i want to be -running on the beach knowing that

your here with me -this is where you saw my naked soul in jerniro then go ballistic to the tune- good luck with the graduation day
