Graduate (song)

"Graduate" is a song by American rock band Third Eye Blind from their eponymous debut studio album (1997).

Additionally, it was featured in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait starring Seth Green and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The band played the song at the 25th Annual American Music Awards, changing some of the lyrics to "can I masturbate" in place of "can I graduate."

In 2011, former Third Eye Blind members Cadogan and Arion Salazar performed the song and made an unofficial video.

In an interview with Billboard, Jenkins said that the concept of the song was developed through the band's experience as they tried to get signed by a major record label.

The song was performed at the 25th Annual American Music Awards, with the band substituting the lyric "can I graduate" with "can I masturbate".

[6] Jenkins has acknowledged that "Graduate" is a staple on their performance set lists, further commenting: "I'm not sick of [playing] it because the audience, they ignite off of it.".
