TUNE THE PIANO, SONGSMITHS
You, too, may be the next Louis Elbel: the University of Washington is seeking a new fight song and is holding an open contest for submissions. Off the top of head, the first song coming to mind when thinking of Willingham’s repeated references to his “system” is, well, this, because ever since his first year at Notre Dame the “system” has been most definitely down:
It would have to go with some nice Fenerbahce-stand-hopping, of course, but we think it would be perfect, especially with a lyric sheet reading “buh-DOO-do-DOO-do-DEH” over and over again.

I can’t even see this since video is blocked but I’m still calling it a blatant attempt to use a lame post in order to bury the Florida story below.
Nice try…

New song for Washington, the school that fostered young Jerramy Stevens? It needs to have a local feel. Perhaps some Nirvana? How would the marching band arrangement of “Rape Me” sound?

Sacrilege! What Washington’s fight song lacked in quality was more than made up for in its title: “Bow down to Washington”. I defy you to find a more kick ass title to a fight song.

Can’t they just use the school song from “Saved by the Bell,” but put in “Huskies” for “Bayside?”

For lyrics:
From sideline to sideline
We don’t roam
We are the Huskies
Fight on, Tyrone
Fight on to victory
In this game
Just like you did

Bama scores again in the Fulmer Cup. It’s all part of the process, and the AU controlled TPD.

Holly – you had a cell phone in college? When I was in college, cell phones were cellular phones that came in a bag that you unzipped and took out the corded phone to make a call. Brick phones were fancy-smancy.

Holy shit, that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this post.
Just don’t let Zack sing it. They put lemon juice in his drink. Avivvy voo, Avivvy voo.

Anything Willingham related should be accompanied by “Yakkety Sax.”

Dear Husky Fans,
We’d apologize, but we feel there were significant warnings given. Enjoy!

Get real Huskies. Plagarize from M*A*S*H.
“Suicide Is Painless” is your best choice. And pretty hip with all that Alan Alda sensitive guy stuff, which we SEC guys know you Kaffee Klatschers adore.

If anyone missed Strong Bad emails somewhere along the line, the song comes from here.
I also had a cell phone in high school; they’ve been around for a while. The old brickphones originally came out in 1984, a year before I was born, and I’ve got a master’s degree, y’all.

I always liked Washington’s fight song, personally. I have a soft spot for old college fight songs that reference things like “crossing the Dardanelles” and such.
Then again, I guess most people would too if they knew what the Dardanelles were.
