Songs from Undergrad

I really believe there is a thread with this theme somewhere, but I didn't find it.

What songs remind you of your college days?

1997-2001:

Get F-ed Up, Iconz (I actually don't know if this came out then, but it reminds me so much of school)
Hot Boys, Missy
Hoy Boys & Girlz, Master P
Bout It, Master P (the basketball team loved this song in 97-98 for some reason)
U Owe Me, Ginuwine
That's What I'm Looking For, Da Brat (this was my song in a hair show on campus)
No Matter What They Say, Lil Kim
Hard Knock Life, Jay-Z (my mom called me at 8:30 on a Saturday morning when she first heard it....she was amazed)

Okay R. you are making me show my age, but here you go:

Ooh Child - Five Stairsteps
The Still Waters Album - The Four Tops
Bridge Over Troubled Waters - (Simon and Garfunkel?)
Summertime - blanking on artist
The Cloud Nine Album - the Temptations
Anything by Funkadelic/Parliament
Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masakela
The first two Earth Wind and Fire albums
Light My Fire - Doors
Gloria - blanking on artist
Inda Gada De Vida (?) which I always thought they were trying to say In the Garden of Eden. And I am stil not sure what was being said.

There are more but the affects of the psychadelic era is wearing on me.

I think ladygreek and I must be of the same vintage.

The first one I thought of was "Midnight at the Oasis" and I don't even like that song. We called it "Midnight after you're wasted" which was probably much more appropriate for my crowd.

Anything off Jimmy Buffett's "Feeding Frenzy"
"I Can't Dance" - Genesis

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana
"Hey Jealousy" - Gin Blossoms
"Loser" - Beck
"All I Want" - Toad The Wet Sprocket

"Life Is A Highway" - Tom Cochrane
"Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" - US3

"Linger" - The Cranberries

Anything by ABBA

The only ones that come to me off the top of my head are "Smooth" and "The Ketchup Song" - but that's only because we had band/drumline stuff we used those songs for. I didn't have much time for pop music, I was too busy studying classical.

Oh absolutely - I started laughing just reading those. There's also "Juicy," "American Pie" (took the T out to the mixer but the mixer was dry...), "Pianoman," and "Santeria," both because we could just turn the music off and everyone would belt them out.

ETA: KSigRC and I are pledge brothers, hence the co-sign.
