What's a good song for an end-of-year high school concert?

Asked by julia999 (343points) September 6th, 2010

Anything that can even remotely be related to school.

Each gender group gets together to perform their own act, and at the moment the girls want to perform a ‘sexy’ version of a Beyonce song, which I’m not comfortable with as I think the song should have a point to it, rather than just us shaking our stuff.

So just any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Julia

Thanks chocolatechip, it was a nice song, but I don’t see us coming up to a dance routine to that.

Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2

For the dance routine, you could break desks!

School’s Out – Alice Cooper

I really like the second one, thanks the100thmonkey!

Other songs I’ve considered are geek rock/science songs, so stuff by Jonathan Coulton, They Might Be Giants and Tom Lehrer, but I can’t seem to find anything just right.

That’s why it’s such a great suggestion. It’s unexpected and memorable. =)

“Good Riddance” by Green Day.

Every senior-year event must feature this song about 100 times. I think they passed a law back around 2000 about this.

Time Of Your Life by Green Day.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don’t ask why.

It’s not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it’s worth,
it was worth all the while.

It’s something unpredictable
but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Thanks for your answers everyone!
They are all great suggestions. I think we’re going to go with “I am a Scientist”. Would be nice to promote the science faculty!
