It’s Old School Friday and the theme this week is “song you detest but know all the words to”.
Certainly detest is rather harsh word for music, but Good Riddance comes to mind. This song played ad nauseam throughout high school, even though it was totally uncool to like Green Day because they had been commodified.
Time tiptoed on. Those who protested the most are now selling something, or wishing they were commodifiable, and no one actually gives a crap any longer because the internet has changed the artistic commodities game (somewhat). From the sound of this video there are quite a few people who know all the words to Time of Your Life. I no longer detest the flaw in my character that caused me to remember every word to this song, I relish the defect as a matter of fact, and I still want Billy Joe Armstrong to be my boyfriend.
Time of Your Life (Good Riddance), Green Day
The following a truly despicable song, as well as a perfect high school theme song. This played through the end of my junior year of high school throughout senior year, couldn’t get away from it (laugh out when you strike your pose, take off all your preppy clothes), I mean seriously. I admit, in a more sincere way this time, that I am humiliated to know every single word of it. Go ahead hate on me. I can take it, it’s not Complicated.
What song to you detest in some way or another, but know all the words too?
