Post-Harvard musing II

[beanmaestro]

Oh, please provide alternate lyrics for the Harvard alma mater :-P

The one I'm familiar with is Tom Lehrer's "Fight Fiercely, Harvard"

[rhovorka]

The "alternate lyrics" many know are not to their Alma Mater, but to the de facto Harvard Fight Song, "Ten Thousand Men of Harvard."  Some quick research says that Harvard's Alma Mater is "Fair Harvard," and I'm not aware of a satirical version of that.

Of course, that lack of exploits is more than made up for during their junior year.   ::twitch::

The worst part is the photo from the Beanpot against BU. ::rolleyes::

Writing alternate lyrics for an Alma Matter is fine as long as you don't sing it over them during the hockey game I think....

I don't know I guess I just think that that's one part where you stop the insults. When I was a freshman I turned to face the other way as Yale was singing their Alma Matter and I was quickly rebuked by my fellow faithful.

Plus, raising your middle finger in unison is just plain stupid and unimaginative. It makes the "Harvard Rejects" cheer look creative.

Any photo of Noah Welch looking pissed is OK by me.  :-D

OTOH, the Clarkson band holding up lighters and swaying during the Alma Mater cracked me up.  ::laugh::
