Let's Give a Cheer

2008-01-28T21:11:00Z

Belch: /* Russian Version */

==Lyrics==
To the tune of the [[224|Notre Dame fight song]]: 
 
''Let's give a cheer for Old Rensselaer, 
''You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the beer! 
''Send the freshmen out for gin, 
''And don't let a sober sophomore in! 
''We never stumble, we never fall, 
''We sober up on pure alcohol! 
''When we yell, we YELL LIKE HELL 
''For the glory of Rensselaer! 
 
==Use==
This song is frequently sung by the band after games while cleaning up the stage. The [[Red Army]] also enjoys singing it during games just for the hell of it.
==Alternate Versions==
===Family Weekend Version===
Remove all alcohol words from the original: 
 
''Let's give a cheer for Old Rensselaer, 
''You bring the ''(pause)'', I'll bring the ''(pause)''! 
''Send the freshmen out for ''(pause)'', 
''And don't let a ''(pause)'' sophomore in! 
''We never ''(pause)'', we never ''(pause)'', 
''We (pause) on pure ''(pause)''! 
''When we yell, we YELL LIKE ''(pause)'' 
''For the glory of Rensselaer! 
 
===Russian Version===
Replace all alcohol with vodka.
 
 
Alternately (said with a thick russian accent, in low tones while looking around shiftily): 
''Let's have cheer for old KGB 
''You bring wodka, I bring wodka 
''Send those freshman out for wodka, 
''and don't let a fucking capitalist in! 
''We never snitch, we never borka 
''We sober up on pure - wodka, 
''And when we drink, we drink wodka, 
''For glory of old KGB

Reference: I recall coming up with this with my friend Mark during SO '89. KGB was some-or-other reference within SO that year. I've forgotten if the vodka version existed before this or not, but SO was mainly Band people at the time, so there was much cross-over.

Belch:

Looks like we've got a disconnect here? There's a "hidden" conductors page, that has no connection to this page, though it lists many more of the conductors of the years.
I'm sure this is happening to the managers as well.

Scratch that; there's a link, but maybe they just need to be merged?

Er...the conductor for '89-'90 was Jason...somebody. I feel particularly stupid, because he was also my RA freshman year. Noble's, too. ([[User:Belch|Belch]] 18:58, May 2, 2007 (EDT))

Talk:Brown University

Belch:

The roadtrip to Brown in '89-'90 game was the infamous one where we were up like 8 to 2 and the Brown fans started chanting: "RPI!" (from behind us) "SUCKS!" (from other side of rink). They went back and forth three or four times until the engineers scored yet again, shutting them down hard. Now, at the time, if someone in the band saw someone do something embarassing, it was customary for the band to shout, "Hey X, how do you feel? AHHAHAHAAHA". So we finished HDOR and in the moment of silence, I and another sax belted out "HEY BROWN" and the band chimed in: "HOW DO YOU FEEL? AAHAHAHAHAHAHA". At least the hockey team got a kick out of it.

Belch:

I distinctly remember taking a roadtrip or two to Princeton when I was on the band, '88-'90. Usually a two-game trip combined with Army/Navy. Not sure when Princeton roadtrips stopped, but they seemed to have been a usual thing in those days.

I know we stole something from the Princeton band, having to do with Monty Python, iirc.

Belch: Princeton road trips...

I distinctly remember going to Princeton at least once in my two years on the band ('88-'90). Maybe something happened between then and '97, but the Princeton page says we never travelled to Princeton.

Note that I'm fairly certain on that trip we also went to either Army or Navy.
