Confess!!! What sappy love songs did your HS use for their Prom Themes

[LynneSin]

My high school hit the Holy Trifecta 3 years running with "If" by Bread, "Color My World" by Chicago and "Sail Away" by Styx. I was too young to attend the "Stairway to Heaven" prom.

Mind you my HS was grades 7-12

[Mr. Ected]

1. You Are So Beautiful by Joe Cocker

and Just Between You and Me by April Wine...are the ones I remember distinctly.

[abq e streeter]

19. Never went to my prom, but coincidentally, I graduated H.S. with the guy that wrote it

Bruce Fisher; wrote it with Billy Preston ,and they also co-wrote Will it Go Round in Circles and Nothin From Nothin. Also coincidentally, saw Cocker sing that 2 weeks ago.

2. They wanted to use "Endless Love," but parents protested it was from a rated R film.

So they switched it to "Up where we belong." Apparently the protesting parents watched Endless Love but not An Officer and a Gentleman.

[Left Is Write]

4. What year was your prom? We used the Up Where We Belong Theme too -

Senior prom '84.

[jobycom]

10. 83. Mississippi. Harrison Central. nt

[HopeHoops]

3. Cocaine

No wait, that wasn't the sappy love song. I forget. There were a lot of good slow dance songs back in 81. You can't get a fucking DJ to play a slow dance anymore. It is all that techno-crap "hi-energy" shit.

[crim son]

22. That was the unofficial song of my senior year in HS.

These days my teenagers make huge fun of it. No wonder!

[HopeHoops]

30. By today's standards, it is about as "naughty" as "Undercover Angel"

Which is to say, it isn't at all. They kept trying to ban it from dances but the band or DJ would always slip it in anyway. In college they tried to ban Monie Monie (or however the hell it is spelled) because everyone would yell "Hey!" "Hey WHAT!?!" "Get LAID GET FUCKED"

[madrchsod]

5. i`m old ..we did`t have one

we ditched after the pictures and went drinking in a farmer`s field.

[One_Life_To_Give]

6. Always and Forever nt

[Symarip]

7. Trying to share your Bread shame with the rest of the children

Nice try. You and only you own this one.

[MissMillie]

8. "Keep on Lovin' You" by REO Speedwagon

:puke:

[livetohike]

9. It was 1969 - ours was psychedelic - Crimson and Clover

[ldf]

18. cool!

69, also.

"this magic moment"

:puke:

[Kat45]

11. Mine also used "Color My World."

[bigwillq]

12. Mine was "Never say Goodbye"

By Bon Jovi.

[SoxFan]

13. Damn, John Cafferty doesn't look so bad now

"Tender Years" is a hell of a lot better than the likes of Bread!

[jmowreader]

14. This was always my high school's love theme

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k_N2shMbqA

This may explain why my high school didn't have one teen pregnancy the entire time I was there--and we would have known if there was one, since the student body of the whole school never broke 325 the three years I was there.

[AwakeAtLast]

15. "I've Had the Time of My Life"

Dirty Dancing theme, hell yeah! :headbang:

:D

[Vidar]

16. Never went to a prom. Ina Gada Devita was the the constant lunchtime nusic.

[mzteris]

17. "We've Only Just Begun"

by the Carpenters.

[OmahaBlueDog]

20. "Now and Forever"

Class of '83

[crim son]

21. I don't remember anything

except the fact that "Stairway To Heaven" was played every time. Grades 8-12. What I do remember is leaning against the wall wondering if I'd ever get asked to dance that wretched song.

[Lyric]

23. "Set The Night To Music"

I didn't go.

[enigmatic]

24. "Babe"- Styx

And yes, I skipped the prom, hung out w/ a few friends, and played Pere Ubu's "The Modern Dance" instead.

[Arugula Latte]

27. Gawd I hate that song. Only "Lady" is worse.

Styx Sux. x(

[enigmatic]

28. Yes!

Dennis DeYoung literally makes my skin crawl..

[Rob H.]

25. Loverboy's "This Could Be The Night"

Just for the record, it wasn't. x(

[sakabatou]

26. I didn't go to my prom

[SeattleGirl]

29. "Pieces of April", Three Dog Night

That was the theme, but most of the music was lots better.

[graywarrior]

31. Mine was a drunken horror show, so I can't remember nor do I care to

I DESPISED hs.

[mikeytherat]

32. Official - Theme to Mahogany. Unofficial - You Got Another Thing Comin' by Judas Priest

Interesting lyrical juxtaposition.

[cherish44]

33. Heaven by Bryan Adams

Yeah it was cheesy but it was 1985, we didn't yet know it was cheesy.

[NewJeffCT]

34. I didn't go to my prom, but I think it was 'In the Air Tonight" from Phil Collins

not sure, though.
