Fun girly songs?? It's that time...help me with songs for niece's graduation video!!

[IvyandLace]

I need help...my only niece will be graduating from high school this June and just like I did with her brother, I will be making a DVD compilation of her 17 years (especially the WDW trips!) to play at her graduation party. I am interested in any songs that you think would help make this graduation video over-the-top...just like my niece!

I'll take any suggestions...slow...fast...or tear-jerkers!!

UPDATED: Now looking for cute girly songs...upbeat....anyone??

Thanks...IVY

Time of Your Life by Green Day is a good one.

This is The Time To Remember by Billy Joel was my graduation song in HS

I don't know any music since the 80's but if you want retro...my class song was "Old Days" by Chicago.

If you want a tear-jerker for her parents, try

Of course, the kids will be the ones crying that they're hearing him

Lonestar sings it. You're right, it's a real tear-jerker! They used it in a collage from my kids' karate studio for the 10-year anniversary. My kids began when the studio opened and there were pictures of them as Little Dragons. My DD17 is now a 3rd degree balck belt. The time really flew!

 

[IvyandLace]

Wow! What a list...thanks so much! I'm off to Itunes to start...

What about Suddenly I See by KT Turnsall, I copied the Lyrics for you from a website:

Suddenly I See"

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
