Lafayette 1982
Lafayette at Princeton
November 6th, 1982
Outcome Unknown
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at… ooh la la… French things.
“Princeton Forward”
Where would the fashion industry be without French innovation? From Yves Saint Laurent to Inspector Clousseau, the French are always at the height of fashion. Besides, where do you think lingerie comes from, Camden? But France’s contribution to style does not stop with clothes, oh no! Forming the ever-popular goatee on the field, the Band thanks heaven for little curls.
“Thank Heaven for Little Girls” (Band forms a goatee, bearing absolutely no resemblance to female anatomy)
Let’s play Family Feud. And here’s your host, Richard Dawson. Give me the top three answers to this question: Name a famous French military officer. “I’ll say Napoleon, Richard.” (Ding!) “Let’s go with Charles DeGaulle, Richard.” (Ding!) “How about Jacques Cousteau?” (Buzz) “Show me Beldar Conehead, Dick.” (Buzz) OK, visiting audience, you have the chance to steal. (Pause) What’s that? Lafayette? Show me Lafayette! (Buzz) Well, the Band keeps all the money, but let’s see the correct answer. (Pause) Pepe Le Pew of cartoon fame. For Johnny Olson, this is Richard Dawson saying so long for the feud, and may all your kisses be French.
“Marseillaise” (Band forms a box, flashing correct answers when they are called)
And now, take French cooking… for example. France has brought us the soufflet, the crepe, and the fries, aussi. In fact, almost anything tasty to eat comes from France. But let us not forget the most famous French culinary contribution…the quiche. Forming a fish on the field, the Band forsakes this foreign egg pie and reminds everyone that “Real men don’t eat quiche, they eat tuna fish.”
“I Love Paris in the Spring Time” (Band forms a fish)
Concluding our tribute to France, the Band recognizes France’s greatest cheese and forms…De-brie.
“April in Paris” (Band stands in random formation)
