‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’ – Green Day
Green Day’s acoustic ballad ‘Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’ was a huge anthem in 1998 that helped the grungy, niche band cross over to the mainstream. This was party because of the song’s wistful and emotional lyrics about the passage of time and it’s memorable appearance in the Seinfeld finale. The song blew up and has been a long-time favorite at proms, graduations, and weddings. However we hate to break it all those happy couples, but the lyrics are actually a little angry and more of a rebuke against an ex-girlfriend who will one day regret leaving the “time of her life.”

‘Closing Time’ – Semisonic
Semisonic’s “Closing Time” have morphed into one of the biggest end-of-the night anthems of all time. All around the world, bars and clubs typically close every night with this legendary track because it ‘Closing Time’. People don’t even have to request it any more! However, although the song’s title is ‘Closing Time’, the actually lyrics are actually about something completely different. The band did admit that they realized fans would think the song is about the end of the night. But it’s actually about the singer Dan Wilson and his girlfriend’s pregnancy. Who would have knew!?
