OK Gus Gus where'd she go?

Wow! What great prom evening of wit and repartee.
One Teenage Boy's Memories of The Music We Danced to At Our Senior Prom Friday Evening, May 15, 2015
"Timeless and Classic Prom Songs: Going to prom is an event that many teenagers look forward to in high school. For many teens, this is the first time they have ever gotten really dressed up in beautiful prom gowns and dresses or a tuxedo. Many teens even opt to go all out and rent a limousine for the occasion. Parents have their cameras ready to capture the night on film. A prom is a formal dance and a huge part of the atmosphere is the songs that are played. While most modern proms feature music from current chart-topping artists, there are some oldies-but-goodies you can still hear being played. Continue reading to learn about some timeless and classic prom songs.
"Don't Stop Believin'"
Journey's song "Don't Stop Believin'" was released all the way back in 1981. It is an upbeat song that has been used over the years in countless movies, television shows, and by professional sports teams. Prom is not only an occasion to dress up and dance, it also marks the end of the school year and graduation. "Don't Stop Believin'" is a classic prom song that will get the kids up and dancing. The lyrics remind the listener to never stop believing and to "hold on to that feeling."
"Time of Your Life"
"Time of Your Life" was released in 1997 by the rock band Green Day. It became a very popular song performed and heard at graduation ceremonies and proms. The song speaks about getting ready to move on to a different part of life, which makes it perfect for the symbolism of prom. With lyrics like "It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life," it is easy to see why this song is a classic one used at proms to mark the end of the high school experience.
"Lady In Red"
"Lady In Red" is a song by Chris de Burgh released in 1986 that reached number three on US charts. It was written by Burgh in honor of when he first met his wife. The lyrics state, "Lady in red, is dancing with me cheek to cheek. There's nobody here, it's just you and me." It is a timeless prom song tailor made for a first slow dance. It makes girls feel special and beautiful and when sung by their date, it is a very romantic notion.
"Heaven"
"Heaven" makes the list of a timeless, classic prom song. This song was performed by singer Bryan Adams and released in 1984. It is considered a power ballad and a love song. "Heaven" speaks about "younger years" and being "wild and free." Teenagers even today can relate to the song's words nearly 30 years after they were written. The song also speaks about dreams coming true, a positive theme for prom.
"Wonderful Tonight"
"Wonderful Tonight" is a timeless love song released by Eric Clapton in 1977. Clapton wrote the song for a woman he and fellow musician George Harrison were in a love triangle with. The song has a steady, slow beat and a haunting guitar melody that make it very easy to slow dance to. It is about a woman getting ready to go out and wondering if she looks alright. The man's response is that yes, she looks wonderful, and he then goes on to profess his secret love for her.
Now you know some timeless and classic prom songs you are likely to hear being played at a prom. Prom night is an exciting evening in the life of a teenager. For some, it is their first date, which makes the occasion even more special. Music adds to the ambiance of the evening and often the song playing for a first dance is remembered forever. Teens will enjoy dancing to any of these classic songs at their prom."

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI managed to step on lolof's foot only twice and that was during the Mexican Hat Dance. She smiled and said, Oh that's OK Great Big, someone was playing with the hat and moved it too close to me. Such a gracious lady. I apologized to Handy and he too being gracious accepted it, the gentleman that he is. Why he even allowed me to take the '27 Black Hawk Speedster for a spin in the parking lot. Not wanting to tell tales out of school I have to mention that I did get a goodnight kiss, on the cheek when I dropped lolof back at home this morning. Thanks one and all for a very memorable evening oh and of course for your votes. Who will be crowned next year?

Originally posted by Great Big SteesIt was indeed a wonderful evening - the arrangements were impeccable. It could perhaps have been more than a kiss on the cheek, if you had not been in such a hurry to get back to the parking lot to drive Andy's car. I do remember you stepped on my foot once, I can still feel it a little - it's a nice memory. 🙂 This was an evening to remember.

Edit: I remember the Mexican Hat Dance too - where did all those hats come from...?
