 =History=
-This cheer is usually called when one of the teams has called a time out, due to its length.  Because this song exists as a cheer and a [[394 - Chameleon|song]], the song was pulled from the active set, as the cheer was called more often.
+Due to its length, this cheer is usually only played when one of the teams playing has called a time out. Because this song exists as a cheer and as a [[394 - Chameleon|song]], the song was pulled from the active set (since the cheer was called more often). This was done to avoid confusion, as on more than one occasion members of the band were playing two different arrangements of Chameleon at the same time in the early to mid-2000s.
