COlumbia 1984
Princeton vs. Columbia
October 13th, 1984
Outcome Unknown
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at…women.
“Princeton Forward”
What salute to women would be complete without a tribute to the Statue of Liberty? Echoing the inscription that has come to symbolize American hospitality…Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Give me your wallets, your watches, your jewelry, and while you’re at it, give me your clothing, your life savings, and your first born. By the way, welcome to New York.
“New York, New York” (Band forms an apple)
[The following joke was written, but not performed since the combined Princeton/Columbia show did not have sufficient time for it.] (In Joan Rivers voice) Can we talk? What’s the difference between Dolly Parton and me? Oh, grow out, I mean grow up! Speaking of sleeping beauties, Princess Di moaned “Where’s the beefeater” in her sleep and awakened poor Charley. Oh…what of that classic beefeater, Liz Taylor, whose special order at her favorite restaurant is a cow with a fork! She puts mayonnaise on aspirin!! A cop stopped her on the street yesterday and said she needed license plates! Oh — you don’t know — she told me she was donating her wardrobe to the Statue of Liberty. Oh — they had to take it in!! Oh — look, the Band’s forming my profile on the field.
“I Hear You Knocking, but You Can’t Come In” (Band forms vertical line)
And why is Michael Jackson such a flaming superstar? It’s as easy as 1-2-3 — his secret: A voice that’s strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. Michael’s been the torch bearer for a new anti-drug campaign. Their motto: No Coke; Pepsi. Although the Band prefers Coke, if you can’t join ’em, Beat It.
“Virgin de la Macarena” (Band forms Michael Jackson’s glove)
