‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’ – Green Day
Green Day’s acoustic ballad became a major crossover smash in 1998, thanks in part to its appearance in the Seinfeld finale. With its somewhat wistful lyrics about the passage of time, the song has become a popular choice for proms, graduations, and weddings. Those delighted couples, on the other hand, should have read the lyrics — or at least the song’s title — a little more closely. The lyrics are not a sweet farewell, but an angry scolding to a lover who will one day regret leaving the “time of her life.”
