I still get kinda sad when I hear it.

It was never a hit here. I do love it however.

Vitamin C was such a bizarre pop star. She was literally about 40 and trying to compete with all the teen queens.

She's like a blueprint for Bonnie McKee, right down to the cheap looking hair.

This was played so much around the time of my actual graduations, high school and college, that it’s hard to even really think of it as a song you’d choose to listen to out of context. Almost like Christmas music
 
from wikipedia:

A new version of the song, titled "Graduation 2020 (Worst Year Ever)", was recorded in 2020 as a reflection on the year with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. This version, created by Vizzy Hard Seltzer and Canadian advertising agency Rethink Communications, contains newly recorded lyrics from Vitamin C, who donated her appearance fee to several charitable organizations.
 
I never knew she was Amber von Tussle in Hairspray :o
 
This is an actual 10 and also a nostalgic 10, but the 11 of her career is THE ITCH

Her whole career is so random. There was also THIS which was big on The Box circa 2003 but ultimately never went anywhere.

 
Coincidentally I found her second album More in a charity shop the other day after only having a digital copy for years, and the hype sticker on the front boasts the hits "Smile" and "Graduation", two tracks they had tacked on from her first album :D Clearly this was from before The Itch became a surprise Australian top 6 hit

I also love how half her singles were tie-ins with completely forgotten films or tv shows, including this cheap crap from the soundtrack of a movie starring David Arquette and a bullmastiff

Oh Marilyn you are speaking my language!

Her film career is equally beguiling. Post-Hairspray highlights including Dracula 2000, something called My X-Girlfriend's Wedding Reception also starring Debbie Gibson and BERNIE SANDERS ( :D ) and playing herself in forgotten teen classic Get Over It.

The latter featuring this truly execrable cover of September with Sisqo :D

 
It's poetic that she began her entertainment career playing Debbie Harry's daughter and (more or less) ended it by sampling Blondie on Last Nite

Really makes you think
