Songs released during the Leaving Cert ignite a certain emotion within us that we’ll never be able to recreate: FREEDOM.

It’s a time of 18ths, big changes, and undeniably great weather. So get a load of this lot – and enjoy that reminiscing.

1. There’s A Whole Lotta Lovin’ – Six

A classic.

2. Whenever, Wherever – Shakira

3. Unchained Melody – Gareth Gates

4. How You Remind Me – Nickelback

Just when you thought you were over that teen angst, Nickelback served you some more on a platter.

5. Here Come The Good Times – Ireland World Cup Squad

This may remind you of how you missed Robbie Keane’s goal, but still.

6. Eminem – Without Me

Was it possible to do the Leaving that year and NOT know all the lyrics?

7. A Little Less Conversation – Elvis vs JXL

And that Nike ad.

Jaysus.

Oh, Mutya.
