I guess I'm somewhere with Cheval, Damelon, and Lucimay...

I remember Seals & Crofts We May Never Pass This Way Again being the homecoming theme my freshman year, so I always associate that with the beginning of high school.

Saturday Night Fever came out in December of my senior year, so that soundtrack dominates the end of high school.

Inbetween, I remember doing The Hustle and the bump to Bertha Butt Boogie during rainy days in the girls locker room, as well as Love's Theme, and others.

But, this is what reminds of high school, and being in high school. During this time I listened to Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Coven (One Tin Soldier), Yes, Pink Floyd, The Moody Blues, Wings, Genesis, etc. This reminds me of my adolescence, but not necessarily high school.

Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm just a dandelion

LOL! Now that I think about it Spinal Tap's 'Bitch School' reminds me of my schoolhood fantasies, even though I didn't see the video until '95.
