2014 End of Year Slideshow Songs

Hi, Everyone! It's that time of year when I'm trying to find some great songs to play with my end of year slideshow. I picked one new song: Unconditionally by Katy Perry. What are some songs you are going to use, or love to use, in your end-of-year wrap-ups?

 

Firework, Katy Perry

Hall of Fame, The Script

Happy, Pharrell Williams

 

I Can Tell That We Are Going to Be Friends by The White Stripes

What a Wonderful World by Joey Ramone

 

In the past I've used Rascal Flatts' "My Wish" and "The Time of Our Lives" by Tyrone Wells. With the Kinders I like "Let Them Be Little" by Lonestar.

This year I am going to use the Friends one that Sarge suggested only the version by one of the singers on the voice Caroline Pennell.

 

Pretty much any song from jack Johnson's Curious George soundtrack.

Black Bird by Sarah Maclaclan (I know that's not spelled correctly).
Don't Worry Be Happy
You've got a Friend in me from Toy Story
I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack
The River by Garth Brooks
The Little Light of Mine by Addison Road or Elizabeth Mitchell
You Make Me Smile by Uncle Kracker
Lean on Me
ABC by Jackson Five
You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins
I Wish For You by Jessica Andrews

I do a slideshow every year for my kinder graduation for the past seven years and those are some of the songs I used.

 

I usually download popular songs from Kidz Bop CD's.

Some I used in the past were...

Good Time
Party Rock Anthem
Firework
Live While We're Young
I Gotta Feeling
Billionaire
The Edge of Glory

Some of those are getting a bit dated so I'll have to see what new songs they put out this year. It's just easier to use Kidz Bop in addition to cutting out the dirty language they get rid of any sexual innuendos too. School doesn't end for me until like June 26th so I'll start sometime in May.

 

My situation is different, but I have used:

I Will Remember You - Sarah McLachlan
These Are Days - 10,000 Maniacs
For Good - Wicked
So Fresh and So Clean - Outkast (inside joke with one of my casts...)

 

Time of your life by Green Day (delete the intro!)
These are the days by The Calling
Forever Young by Rod Stewart

 

I've been thinking of using this version in my video this year, too. I used the original version last year.

Last year I also used:
"You've Got a Friend in Me" from Toy Story
"Shooting Star" by Owl City (LOVE this one!)
"When Can I See You Again?" by Owl City (from Wreck it Ralph)

This year I think I will use:
"Happy" by Pharrell Williams (Cza mentioned)
"Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie...maybe.

I wish I could start making my end of the year video, LOL. We still have until June 27!

 

Hall of Fame! Love this idea! I may use this, thanks.

 

Taylor Swift-Never Grow Up

Total tearjerker.

 

Also-awesome thread idea, Teacher Shelly!

 

Blink by Revive is a GREAT choice!

 

I need to remember to find this thread in June when I'm actually making our movie. (I used imovie last year it came out so great- allowed me to use photos and videos)

 

Based on all the great ideas above, I've been searching around and found:
Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks
and
Now and Forever by Carole King.
Thanks! Keep them coming
