Need Ideas for "Goobye" (Retirement) Songs from Different Decades

[stitch'sgirl]

I am putting together a music video for a retirement party for someone who has been with the organization for 30 years. Our office decided to change up some lyrics to four different songs (snippets of them) representing the decades she worked (80's, 90's, 00's and 10's). Any ideas pop in to your mind? I thought of some good ones from the 50s, but I thought more current ones would work better. Of course we have to sing "Bye Bye Bye" (N'Sync) for the 00's. Any thoughts appreciated!!

Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman 90s
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover - Paul Simon 70s?

N'Sync was 90s I believe

 

[SC Minnie]

Todd Rundgren- Bang on the Drum All Day. 1982

90's -- Boyz II Men -- It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

 

[Squirlz]

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Don't Ever Say Goodbye - Rick Derringer (1970's?).

 

[pryncess527]

Lovely Cruise by Jimmy Buffett is one of my favorites for this type of farewell/goodbye -- it came out in 1977 but was never a hit

 

[Luv2Run]

"Good Riddance" by Green Day (1997) always comes to mind when people ask about stuff like this. Even though the title of the song isn't very positive (LOL).

 

[The Mystery Machine]

"Boston"...Long Time.

I guess "Take This Job and Shove It" is out of the question?

Night Ranger - Goodbye
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
