Princeton vs. Holy Cross
October 17th, 1992
Outcome Unknown
Pregame
And now, tainting the field like original sin, it’s the Princeton University Band.
“Princeton Cannon Song”
It’s been a long three years since Princeton’s faced Holy Cross, and many things have changed:
“Notre Dame Victory March” (Band forms a small ‘h’)
And now, it’s the
“Going Back” (Band forms Double-Double Rotating P)
Holy Cross: nine letters. No housing: nine letters. Coincidence? We doubt it.
Halftime
And now–this just in! Ross Perot has once again withdrawn from the presidential race!
“Princeton Forward”
We just flew in from the Republican National Convention, and boy, do those guys know how to throw a party! Here’s a few of the things we overheard:
Forming a road, the Band wonders if, come January, George Bush will be the latest unemployment statistic.
“Hit the Road Jack” (Band forms a road)
Never to be accused of ridiculing only one side of the issue, the Band now takes you to listen in on those wacky Democrats:
And now, the Band plays a tribute to Bill Clinton…without inhaling.
“Happy Days Are Here Again” (Band forms “concert line” which collapses as Band members run out of breath.)
This just in: Perot has re-entered the race! Hey, Mr. Perot, why are you getting back in the race? “Well, I liked it so much, I bought the country!” The Band now salutes the only man able to sit on both sides of the fence at the same time, with Perot’s theme song, the “Hokey Pokey.” (Sung) You put your candidacy in, you put your candidacy out…
“Hokey Pokey” (Band forms a circle and hokey pokeys)
Well, the election is getting kind of close, and like Ross Perot, you’re going to have to make a decision and stick with it. (Band forms four voting levers; signs with names begin hidden) So Band, who are you going to vote for?
(First sign flips to reveal…) Bush? (“No!”) (Second sign flips to reveal…) Clinton? (“No!”) (Third sign flips to reveal…) Perot? (“No!”) (Fourth sign flips to reveal…) Madonna! (the fourth lever is pulled)
“Material Girl”
Remember: every vote counts, unless it’s for Ross Perot.

“Princeton Cannon Song”
It’s been a long three years since Princeton’s faced Holy Cross, and many things have changed:
- Three years ago, the Berlin Wall was up; unemployment was down.
- Three years ago, the only things that fell apart in Yugoslavia were the cars.
- Three years ago, there were no green Fruit Loops; now even Kellogs is turning Trix… into all kinds of funny shapes.
- Three years ago, Holy Cross refused to house us, and we staid at W.P.I. This year, Holy Cross refused to house us, and we stayed at the Greendale Y. (Thank you, Dr. Gallagher and the Goldens.)
- And finally, three years ago we saluted Holy Cross by playing the Notre Dame fight song. Once again we play the fight song of our favorite Catholic school.

“Going Back” (Band forms Double-Double Rotating P)

“Princeton Forward”
We just flew in from the Republican National Convention, and boy, do those guys know how to throw a party! Here’s a few of the things we overheard:
- “Yes, you can vote for Quayle and I’ll still respect you in the morning.”
- “It’s not a recession; the economy is just ‘differently growing’.”
- “So Barbara, this is what Texas looks like.”
- “Birth control? If Ross Perot can pull out, so you can you.”
- “It wasn’t a riot; it was ‘intense urban renewal’.”
- “What?! Women can vote?”
- “That’s what I like about the Republican Party: everyone’s just like me.”
- “No, Dan; the teleprompter doesn’t play Super Mario Brothers.”
- “So, what’s your family value: $1 million?”
- “This party doesn’t pander to special interest groups like women and minorities.”
Forming a road, the Band wonders if, come January, George Bush will be the latest unemployment statistic.
“Hit the Road Jack” (Band forms a road)
Never to be accused of ridiculing only one side of the issue, the Band now takes you to listen in on those wacky Democrats:
- “We don’t think of it as a tax, exactly. More sort of an ‘involuntary gift’.”
- “So Ms. Flowers, what are you doing after the convention tonight?”
- “Say, is there a draft in here? I’d better leave the country.”
- “Off with her head!”…”We can’t do that, Tippy.”
- “Congressional Bank Card: Don’t leave the House without it. No interest, 0% financing, no payments…ever.”
- “You hear about Tipper’s problem with the Democratic ticket? Too much sax and Gore.”
And now, the Band plays a tribute to Bill Clinton…without inhaling.
