I was out in the woods getting drunk and stoned with the cool kids. No clue about a prom song.

Merlin D. Bear said...

Didn't go, don't know.
And could care even less.

Karen said...

Hasn't this been asked before?

the "graduation song" by Vitamin C
My school and most of my classmates were quite lame...

Didn't go to prom. Had better things to do, like work.

msgirl said...

We didn't have a prom, thank goodness. Class of '74, Brooklyn. I wouldn't have gone if we did.

You went to prom? I was on an internship in our state capital during my senior year, and only came back to graduate.

Veruca said...

Wow, with the exception of Topper and Derek, you are all apparently soooo cool.

For heaven's sake, the prom is a classic rite of passage for many.

"We've Got Tonight" by Bob Seger.

"Forever Young" by Alphaville. Even though that song came out a few years before we graduated, it was still the way we felt about ourselves back in the 80s.

"I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" by Elvis. My prom was in 2002. I have NO idea why that song won.

Once again, us kids who had Junior-Senior Banquets are left warming the bench.

Enty's HS Prom Song?

Karrots said...

Our class wanted Stairway to Heaven but the administration wouldn't allow it saying it was about drugs. Catholic School. I don't remember what it ended up being.

RowdyRodimus said...

@Kelly, you were an intern at your state capital? That's cool.

I spent a summer as a senate page in DC for our Senator at the time my Jr. year. Were people jealous of you, too?

discoflux said...

They wouldn't let me in because I wasn't wearing my class ring.

My song was hidden in a plastic bag with my class ring.

Jdwg51887 said...

our class song was the Friends Theme Song.. back in 2005 which is still weird to me..

Kelly said...

Time of My Lidw jr year. Firever Young sr year.

Gayeld said...

They only played one song at your prom? Was Mom's record player broken? Or did she just shut off the power to the basement at 8:15?

Jessie said...

I don't know, I remember a whole group of us singing along to "Don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith. But I'm gonna say Gimme More by Britney, Bitch. And we left our graduation to the Breakfast Club Classic as chosen by our year advisor.

Sherry said...

No prom for me! But I did get a class ring..It was stolen so if anyone sees one in a pawn store with the comedy tragedy symbols and a pink stone lemme know.

Sean said...

Prom? I didn't go. Went to the strip bar with a dozen or so guys that didn't want to go either. Morgana the kissing bandit was the feature that night. I have a polaroid somewhere with her breasts on my head.

"Hold On to the Night" by Richard Marx

Star said...

Prince- party like its 1999. Prom and grad in 1999

auntliddy said...

Afraid I was getting high or tripping, a la the count. Proms considered very uncool. But the group they had was the tymes-"as we stroll along together", but I didn't know til after prom. May have listened in parking lot if I knew, lol

A whole new world with this shitacious Aladdin set.

NaughtyNurse said...

I didn't know proms actually had songs. We had a senior class song that is going to seriously date me: Forever Young by Alphaville.

KellyLynn said...

@Rowdy, they were totally jealous, which was really silly. Most of the downstate kids were accepted into the program, because so few of us applied. I worked for a Chicago-area state representative, whose biggest career contribution was her annual submission of "The Bunny Bill". It was designed to prohibit testing of cosmetics on animals.

The kids in the program stayed with "house parents", local families who agreed to let us live in their homes for the semester in exchange for a small stipend. My house mom, Gail, had been in Bill Clinton's first gubernatorial cabinet, as the head of the Arkansas Department of Human Services. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about him.

I had a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of good things about government. The biggest thing I learned was that maybe politics isn't for me. The artifice, by both politicians and the workers behind the scenes, shattered my naivete. I left the place with a view a little less like "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington," and a little more like "Primary Colors." The program was discontinued a few years ago.

I hope your experience in DC was a much better one.
