When I was in high school, there was no prom that year (total lack of interest), and I don't think we had a graduation theme. However, when I graduated junior high, I distinctly remember a ceremony where they kept playing "Yesterday" during the proceedings. It's a beautiful song, but what a f**king depressing choice for a junior high school graduation.
"...I'm not half the man I used to be / There's a shadow hanging over me..."
What sick depressed person picked that for a junior high graduation theme? It's no wonder none of us ever amounted to anything!
The moral of the story is: Pick a damn positive song for a graduation theme, or class song. How I wish they had chosen "You Got Another Thing Coming", by Judas Priest. At least, some of us might be rich now.
"Out there is a fortune waiting to be had. You think I'll let it go, you're mad. You got another thing coming."
Did anyone else have a completely inappropriate class song, or is this just a tradition at my school?
take care,
McLilith
