Most godawful prom theme imaginable.

[Magrittes Pipe]

[flamingyouth]

1. Hey, "Don't You Forget About Me" was my theme!

Ballard High School, class of '86!:D

[JohnKleeb]

2. I thought prom themes werent songs but literal themes

[flamingyouth]

5. Well, back in the dark ages, John, you see...

We had songs! Bad songs! :D

[JohnKleeb]

19. hah I bet

[flamingyouth]

20. Honey, you have no idea

:D

[Magrittes Pipe]

15. John, when I was your age, we didn't HAVE literal themes!

We had to make do with the popular music of the day.

[JohnKleeb]

18. oh

The theme for ours this year was a night in Paris.

[eyesroll]

21. I think I'd like "One Night In Bangkok" better...

Would make for an...interesting prom theme. Good menu, at least.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. That would be at an all boys school...

:evilgrin:

[JVS]

33. Faced!

[JohnKleeb]

43. well I am too shy, so I didnt go

[Fenris]

3. OMD!

:puke:

[DODI]

4. Jr. Prom 1981 and the idiots at my school choose - Tuesday's Gone

Not that I don't like the song -- but a prom theme. At the time I felt Wonderful Tonight would have been a better choice. The senior class that year used "Rainbow Connection" from the Muppet Movie.

[flamingyouth]

12. The Muppets did your prom theme?

OMG - fire the prom committee! :7

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. Of course, "Don't You..." was Simple Minds, not Simply Red.

Unfortunately, I can't edit it.

Mad props to flamingyouth for the idea for this poll! :hi:

[benburch]

7. Simple Minds....

Not Simply Red

[eyesroll]

8. I think I had to help plan "Wonderful Tonight" when I was student teaching

I didn't even go to my own prom (don't remember the theme, either) and I get assigned a cooperating teacher who also happened to be the prom advisor.

[Bonobo]

9. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" -Sorry. Clear Winner.

[eyesroll]

13. Did someone actually plan a prom around that?

Screwing in the car?

Well, mad props to whoever got away with it...

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. No. No mad props.

Bad songs are bad song. Regardless of subject matter.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "China Grove" are great songs.

Of course, they are wretched ideas for prom themes.

[RodneyCK2]

11. Mine was Islands In The Stream...

*shutters* what a horrible song and night. I tried to block it from my mind but thanks to this thread... LOL.

[benburch]

14. "Up where we belong"

By Joe Cocker with Jenifer Warnes.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Dude - you incalcuable tool - its "Simple Minds" not "Simply Red"

You shprick!!!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

24. I noticed that.

Get with the program.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

30. Man, the sweet release of death is for you!!!!

Sorry, can't help the truth!

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Other options: "He Hit Me (and It Felt Like a Kiss)"

and "(Let's Dance) The Screw" by the Crystals.

Gotta love that Spector wall of sound!

[JVS]

23. "Face down, ass up" by 2 live crew

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. That's the way I like to fuck.

[MildyCC]

51. Gay, huh?

[Magrittes Pipe]

54. Not the last time I checked...

...but I fail to see how that's any of your business.

Welcome Underground. :hi:

[KamaAina]

25. "Let the Eagle Soar" -- John Asskkkroft

You laugh. You snicker. Bu8t somewhere in this great land of ours, there's a "Christian academy" that has selected this for its prom theme.

The only question remaining for their prom planning committee is whether or not to make the girls wear burqas...

[GiovanniC]

59. No Dancing! No Music!

That's the Devil's work.

[Taverner]

28. Hey! What about Journey's "Open Arms"

I swear I will go postal next time I hear that

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. I had suppressed that memory, thank you very much.

Oh well. I suppose I will now have to go kill my family.

[Elidor]

[DemBones DemBones]

40. My class tried to get "Days of Wine and Roses"

but you know how teachers are. Or were -- by the time I was teaching, it was routine for kids to rent hotel rooms for prom night, with their parents' permission, yet.

[LynneSin]

42. We did something corny by Chicago

:eyes:

Probably why I wouldn't go to the prom until the senior year and I said "what the cheney"

[JohnKleeb]

44. Toby Keith's coursey of the red, white, and blue

[wickerwoman]

45. "End of the Innocence"

'nuff said.

[CO Liberal]

46. My Prom's Theme Was "Love Story"

Morristown High School, Morristown, NJ - June 1971. I even have a picture of me and my prom date on that "magical" night....

[Piltdown13]

47. Our prom didn't really have a theme

At my school, the prom was not a big deal at all. Homecoming was huge, and it was the big dance with a theme (we had a big spring dance called Spring Fiesta, but I don't recall if it was themed).

Now, in terms of Homecoming themes, the one my senior year was...well, a little odd. It was "November Rain" (that year, our homecoming game just happened to fall in November). Not very upbeat -- and believe it or not, they never played the song!

[Red State Rebel]

48. Color My World & Pieces of April - Welcome to the 70's!!

[scarlet_owl]

49. I can't even remember our prom theme.

They're all pretty generic and sappy.

56. not a song but I have to say this

[bif]

57. "Smoke on the Water" may have been our theme song

A lot of reefer was consumed in the early 70s at our high school.

[noonwitch]

58. Junior year it was "Time for Me To Fly", Senior "The Best of Times"

I didn't go to either, as I was between boyfriends each time. The early 80s, what a time.

[WoodrowFan]
