Good Riddance by Green Day

Photograph"Photograph" by Nickelback is perfect for a school graduation slide show. These Were The DaysIt came to me that you should use a song called "These were the days". I looked some up on Google.com and it had some that had some appropriate words by some popular groups, but I didn't know how the music sounded. Big Time"Big Time" by Peter Gabriel is one we had for ours. I'm assuming that the words "Big Time" meant that graduation is big time. Graduation"Graduation" by Vitamin C is a classic for graduation.

Big Time ?? Kind of amuzing when you think about this song being used at a graduation.

What most people don't realize is that the song Big Time was meant to be entirely "tongue in cheek" ! Peter Gabriel was poking fun at the entire American yuppie culture (specifically, what was going on the 80's). Europeans, for the most part, see Americans as fat, dumb, lazy, greedy pigs (unfortunately, not entirely wrong in many cases - many of us Americans don't feel any self worth unless we have the bigger house, the bigger car, the food, the bigger bank account, etc). The whole song is kind of a 3 min long insult to our capitalist culture! So there you go - Happy Graduation !!

Try Freedom by The Rolling Stones (or, more recently done by the Soup Dragons).
