For VGHS's graduation, the salutatorian, Joe Gulick chose to do a song rather than give a speech. He decided to first due a parody of "Hey There Delilah" written by the Plain White T's. His modified lyrics are shown below:
Hey there Mrs. Pangburn
It's AR time again
I should've been reading all quarter
Looks like I'll stay up all night instead
Should've listened to what you said
Wish I were in bed;
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
Hey there Andy Spannagel
How was Modern class?
Oh I forgot that you're not in there
And now I feel just like a great big.....jerk
Guess I'll have to get the makeup work
From someone else;
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
Hey there Jackie Watson
Yeah I'm late again
But just believe me it's the last time
Sure does fly when I wake up at 8 am
Should have set my alarm clock
But I forgot
Oh detention after school,
Oh detention after school
Oh my mom will be mad
Hope she doesn't tell my dad.
Back doors are locked,
it's really cold
Man this is getting old
I have to walk around to the front door;
I hit the buzzer wait for Pam
She lets me in, thank you ma'am
It's good to know we're safe at Villa Grove;
Run up to my 1st hour class
I guess I'll have to get a pass
I bet they're taking best on me now
-spoken- They did vote me most likely to be late for my own funeral.
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
Oh Villa Grove Schools, Oh it's what you do to me.
What you do to me.
Afterwards, he ended his speech by singing a portion of the song "In My Life" by The Beatles.
GO JOE.... You did awesome sweeety!
