Which song is the 'last day of school' theme song? You may think that this is a no-brainer, but it's not.

On the contrary, I don't know when the last day of school is for anyone anymore because it's been so long for me, and I don't like to think about it because it makes me feel old.

When your last day of school is or was is not important. Now lets get to the matter at hand.

"Dazed and Confused" takes place on the last day of school, and the movie opens with 'Sweet Emotion'.

'School's Out' plays later in the movie, but after it has been established that it is the last day of school.

If 'Sweet Emotion' is the song playing at the beginning of the last day of school and 'School's Out' is the song that is played at the end of the last day of school, then which song is the definitive 'last day of school' song?

I do recall feeling a sweet emotion the morning of the last day of school, and for the entire day while school was still in session, and it's not 'til the bell rings that school is officially out for the summer.

The question is: does 'School's Out' define a moment on the last day of school or the entire day?

If 'School's Out' only defines the moment that school is officially out and not the entire day, then can it be the definitive 'last day of school' song?

In conclusion: watch Dazed and Confused.

Now here is Gwar.
