A small group of teachers at my school have decided that I, along with my friend who plays bass, should represent the senior class at our graduation this year by playing a song. Personally, I'm honored. It means a lot that the teachers actually think that highly of my playing.

The issue comes, now, with what to play. My friend and I absolutely HATE the songs that everyone always plays at their graduation. At our school, we just don't like to follow the norm. It's less fun that way.

I've been thinking something that everyone can sing along to and recognizes. Our class really likes 80's rock, so I was thinking maybe something by Queen, but we have less than 3 weeks to learn a whole new song, and I just don't know if we could get it down in time.

Do you guys have any ideas? I really don't want to have to play Good Riddance...

They say more people will come if we say guitar. Guitar.
"Nevermind. I don't want plant words."

The appropriate song is "Hot for Teacher" or dialing it down a bit on the difficulty scale, "School's Out". How about a Beastie Boys tune?
	I like to play loud.

Sean: Well, when they're ready to come do something about it, let me know. Dan, you can't go around making everyone happy, and you can't keep all your opinions to yourself. Speak your mind man. Mar 23, 2014 22:03:47 GMT

Samb1011: I won't jump in but isn't saying that the french run away from a fight the same as saying americans are stupid for driving on the wrong side of the road? This is something people do, mess with other people Mar 25, 2014 1:43:42 GMT

balbrecht: So I was working on a guitar for a friend. (It's a Fender acoustic. Something you'd get in one of those packages with a bag and music and stuff.) I was putting on some new strings, and I broke a bridge pin. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:46 GMT
