Staying in high school

OK, we’ll stay with the whole high school vibe:
IF THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARS, THIS WOULD BE THE THEME SONG.

It’s all about you

Favorite song by a high school rock band.

OK. BROWN songs.

Yukon Cornelius, eat your heart out

It’s time for SILVER and GOLD. Either or both.

OK, I lied

Anything to keep Denise happy.
