After embarrassing the football team's players, coaches, alumni and parents last weekend with their...different rendition of "Roar, Lion, Roar," at the conclusion of Saturday's football contest against Cornell, the Columbia University Marching Band has been barred from performing at Saturday's final game of the season against Brown. According to a statement, the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education Dr. M. Dianne Murphy believes, "allowing the band the opportunity to perform...on Saturday undermines the University's institutional support for our football team." Ouch. So what exactly did the band do to our fun and light hearted fight song to make everybody so angry? Check out these lyrics.
We always lose lose lose
by a lot and sometimes by a little
we all were winners at the start,
but four years has taught us all the value of
just giving up, cuz we really suck
why are we even trying?
we always lose lose lose
but we take solace in our booze.
Yup, I'd say that goes a little overboard, don't you think?
