Hey,
I arranged Macho Man, jackasses.

And I sent the band another cheersheet last week with Disco Duck, It's Raining Men, Louie Louie, In the Navy, and the Macarena about a week ago. I talked to Freddy Jackson (current director) the other day and he assures me that they'll be ready and played for the playoffs, so there's your new music you pissy whiners.

Now go back to arguing about whether the old school or new school cowbell guy beats it harder.

Just in case anybody was curious and not following it, those Harvard tickets on eBay are selling for about $70 a pop.

Ooh, sorry other fans.

So... it's
RPI at Dartmouth
Harvard at Brown
Clarkson at Cornell
SLU at Colgate

Certainly could be worse.

Wrong.

Nothing -we- do this weekend affects the Ivy title at all. We could lose both games and still clinch it because neither RPI nor Union is in the Ivy League. I thought that was kinda obvious.

Likewise, should we sweep this weekend, and Harvard also sweep, that also gives us nothing, because (God forbid) we drop both Yale and Princeton, and Harvard sweeps the last weekend also, that puts them as the Cleary Cup winners.

Yes, Saturday was the plan, and yes, like our national anthem, I think sticking to just the first verse is a good idea. No, I can't pronounce any of it.

Du gamla, Du fria, Du fjällhöga nord
Du tysta, Du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar Dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.
Din sol, Din himmel, Dina ängder gröna.

Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat Ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet att Du är och Du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.
Ja, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.

Jag städs vill dig tjäna mitt älskade land,
din trohet till döden vill jag svära.
Din rätt, skall jag värna, med håg och med hand,
din fana, högt den bragderika bära.
din fana, högt den bragderika bära.

Med Gud skall jag kämpa, för hem och för härd,
för Sverige, den kära fosterjorden.
Jag byter Dig ej, mot allt i en värld
Nej, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.
Nej, jag vill leva jag vill dö i Norden.

Yo, so, I'm putting the finishing touches on the Dougie Murray's national anthem tonight (for pepband). Should there be (IE, there should be) some form of word of mouth, or other general passing of information if people want to actually try to sing the blasted thing? And not certain if Arthur actually reads stuff here or just posts interesting sides, but yeah, I'll talk to him on Friday to make sure it gets announced or what-have-you.

Also, someone should arrange to have a Sweedish flag. We've got a giant flag pole (ala the traditional college flags) in the bandroom should the two need to be brought together in a triumphant union of flag and pole for Saturday.

Go me.
