For some reason, the term advice hit me like an anvil and I remembered this song from, I don't know, middle school, which is roughly the time I stopped listening to new music. Remember this song?
I have to admit, it's corny... but if I heard that as a graduation speech in HS, I would be impressed.
(as it was, our valedictorian told the class to ____ off in Gaelic.) The humor value was high, the inspiration value was low.
At my college graduation, our commencement speaker was the CEO of Aflac, and, as I recall, he spent most of his speech talking about how great Aflac was. Fail. It would have been better if they'd just played a recording of this song!
