There’s so much “teachers pet” ink just dripping off this paper, I can smell it through my phone
As a non-American, I was very confused for a bit. Why are senior citizens needing to pick songs? What are they graduating from?
Senior is also the word to describe students in the 12th grade, the final year of high school.
Senior student in high school. 12th grade
I rather listen to farts than the happy song
Pretty sure he wrote it on purpose to be stupid as hell just to prove he could.
We were allowed to build small groups of 2-3 people and choose our own song. We went with “Another brick in the wall”
My school banned that song from ceremonies after every class chose it for like 5 years straight.
This gives me Director Skinner vibes :D
“Are our students unhappy? Are we out of touch? No! It’s the kids that are wrong!”lol yeah there was some of that happening. Although to be fair, we were a bunch of idiots… we chose the same song as the previous year (bohemian rhapsody). Talk about apathetic
So, Vampires… (related to op, I swear)
If holy water works against vampires, why not purify a humidifier?
Better yet, know why you don’t see any vampires in Africa? Because Toto already blessed the rains down in Africa.

Thievery Corporation begs to differ: Vampires
My class voted Free Bird by Lynard Skynyrd. A song about a man leaving a woman because he doesn’t want to settle down. Class of 2010 morons.
I was so medicated that I don’t remember what I “walked out on…” I guess it was Pomp & Circumstance or something, right?
I’m still salty that my choice of “Living La Vida Loca” was unanimously voted against so that we could have “I’m Still Standing”
You need something you can walk to, like Another One Bites The Dust, Stayin’ Alive, anything by ZZ Top, that sort of thing
For some reason most of my school went out to various David Hasselhoff songs. To this day I don’t know why, only that I wouldn’t have had it any other way. This was back in 2009, in a Swedish gymnasium with no connection to him (AFAIK).
I’ve been looking for freeeeedom!
As long as it’s not Green Day, Good Riddance… again.

Metal cover all the way
You left the google tracking tag on the link, everything after the ?is and itself are a tracker that google ads to youtube links do that they know who watched a video you shared, and they then connect those accounts, even going as far as making one’s liked videos become the other’s suggested videos
Here’s the link cleaned up: https://youtu.be/MH9FyLsfDzw
Thanks!
That cover lives rent free in my head
One of my classmates was part of a bagpipe group so he and his group played our graduation. Fantastic choice actually.
I was pretty happy with our senior song.
My sister graduated in 1998, when every high school in the country did “My heart will go on.” The next uear, everyone did “Party like it’s 1999.” I don’t even remember what the next 2 classes did other than they were some kind of flash in the pan pop song from the time.
In 2002, my class voted for “At Last” by Ella Fitzgerald. That’s some classy, timeless shit.

Absolute banger, I love Etta
Happy is a song devoid of soul. I saw someone bring up that if he released this song today, he would probably be mobbed.
Too bad Pharrell went this route. I really enjoyed him in N.E.R.D.
Did you not hear his work all over the Clipse or Tyler albums last year?
I tend not to listen to a lot of collab stuff or singles. An artists albums are typically what I pay attention to. Not much of his solo style really kept me interested.
I learned from Lemmy a while ago that Pharell wrote “Happy” as a bit of a sarcastic jab, so I think it’s intended to be devoid of soul. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the song. But I enjoy that little tidbit
That adds a layer of irony to the AI generated corporate koolaid version I was subjected to at work.
If I’m bitten by a zombie
I’m probably not telling you!
Funny enough N.E.R.D. also has a song called “Happy” but it’s definitely a different vibe than his more famous song of the same name. This one’s happy because an ex-lover is finally out of the singer’s life and their life is now so much better for it.
