I was just skimming through this latest entry in the A Cappella Blog’s “Absurdist A Cappella” series, which goes through a great list of things to think about regarding the establishment of a group “alumni song” when I happened upon this excerpt during the section on song selection:

We’re going to let readers of this column in on a little secret—the ideal alumni song is none other than Nickelback’s “Photograph.” Think about it: you want a song that won’t diminish over time—no one liked this song in the first place! It’s awful! There’s no room for it to grow less popular. 

After I cleaned the Frappuccino off my keyboard, it’s admittedly a great example and fits in well with the overall take that Mike has on the subject. If you’re in a group that doesn’t yet have an “alumni song” but wants one, this whole article has some sound input. Even if you don’t agree with the Nickleback suggestion.
