The song you will forever associate with your Leaving Cert

Vito Corleone

What song will always remind you of your LC? For my JC the songs "Stereo Love" and "Love The Way You Lie" were being played everywhere so whenever I hear them it immediately takes me back.

For the LC I listened to the song Together by The XX pretty much on the way in to every exam I sat to get me pumped up. I was also on a massive Joy Division binge for that period so a good few songs from Unknown Pleasures particularly Disorder will forever remind me of the Leaving Cert. :cool:

So, what are your LC songs?

Where is the Love (Black Eyed Peas) Hated that fuppin song at the time, still do.
Listened to a lot of Oasis stuff at the time, Definitely Maybe and Heathen Chemistry, oh and Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head album, for some reason found it very calming!

Bastille, Dubstep and Paramore's self titled album. All a bit different to each other..

Paramore - Now. That sh*t got me pumped for the LC :pac:

WilhelmFink

Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy


I did my LC last year....

Corvo Attano

On those hard nights of note writing Savant was better than injecting coffee. These two were probably most played.

And then there was alot of Eminem too. This probably most of all

HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT-The message behind the song (Youre a good girl/I iknow you want it, sounds like something some psycho rapist would say to his victim), the video, and ESPECIALLY THE BIG FRICKIN BRIGHT RED "'#THICKE" through out the video!!!!!! THAT, THAT, THAT, JUST UGHHHHHHH


# Should only be used when displaying a number and used in Venn diagrams, wouldn't mind it as much if it was the THICKE (It would still annoy me a bit) its the freaking hashtag, I hate it when people say things like hashtag awakward or hashtag delighted irl, or outside of tw!tter. To use it in a music video is subliminal messaging "Talk about me on tw!tter/face book, get the word out about this song" and encouraging its use irl and I cant STAND IT




IT DRIVES ME FRICKIN MENTAL





ARGHHHHHHHHHH

Someone. Else.

*Reaches out for hug*

SeanyboyQPR

The worst think about it is that, in spite of my bitter hatred of that awful "song", I still find myself droning "Hey hey hey" for a while after every time I hear it!

Its a catchy tune like it will get in your head, the same way Barney and Bob the buiulder does

Corvo Attano

Bob the builder is a commie. One of the red menace.

Wasn't this thread in AH 20 mins ago?
Carry on young folk.

Guys, I don't remember seeing this posted (I'm on my phone, too lazy to check)
But did we all somehow forget Daft Punk - Get Lucky?

Seans_Username

5 days of study for the last exam.
22nd of June, 2011: Economics.
Finish in good time. Walk home, earphones in..
BAM!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeRYLb5Pckg

Talk about feeling like a motherf*cking champion. I'll never forget that walk home. I could have stopped a speeding car with my bare hands

Canard

I totally ruined A Lack Of Colour by Death Cab For Cutie for myself. Just listened to it there to check and yep, it still brings back awful memories of coming home from last year's geography exam... :eek: Transatlanticism suffered a similar fate.

Gotta Have You by The Weepies was a song someone linked in a music thread just before the exams last year which I liked and proceeded to listen to a lot too...again, slightly ruined.

Payphone is more associated with summer and waiting for results to me though, so not too bad.

shootie

Has to be Get Lucky, that was over played to death around that time.

Some I remember studying often to.

Vito Corleone

I must be the only person who hates Get Lucky. Such an incredibly boring song.

endacl

Jebus. The song that reminds me of the LC is 'I'm free' by The Soupdragons.

I'm old. I did the 'inter cert' too. Before ye were born!

LC will soon be a distant memory for ye. Life flies by. Make the most of it!

+1 here! I do recall though it became a gag at the time when we were doing all nighters before exams yeno, "up all night to get lucky" :pac:

In my darkest hours of 6th year I'd listen to All Time Low- Therapy, and bawl my eyes out (HL maths I'm looking at you).

+2.

I said it on twitter once, the reaction was equivalent to letting off a loud fart in mass and everyone staring at you like this

Ompala

Alive by Pearl Jam, always felt the chorus was fitting after a long exam!

Vito Corleone

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons is another song that was played a lot around the time.

I was listening to a lot of Ceol and Rí-rá CD's.

I wish that song was around the time of my Leaving Cert!!

MRnotlob606

only finished this year, our grad song was let her go, but the her was changed to him as it was an all boys secondary school

Corvo Attano

I played this one when leaving the school on the last exam.

Don't really remember thinking about it at the time, but the number one when I did my Leaving was 'Suicide is painless', the M.A.S.H. theme - cheery stuff.

Corvo Attano

That is just unfortunate.

It's a serious tune I think, if you hate that video watch the unrated version which got kicked off of YouTube :pac:

Who cares about the story the song is telling, it's a good song!

Now if you want strange lyrics, I think 212 could be the song to listen to :P

Corvo Attano

Try Guilty Conscience by Eminem for strange lyrics. That is story telling.

I am not denying its a catchy tune, its repetitiveness is most likely a factor
I just hate it all though

Basically both of Funs albums - some nights and aim and ignite, in particular the songs be calm and the gambler, I literally used to sing be calm when I was freaking out it was great
