rutgers 1980
Princeton at Rutgers
September 27th, 1980
Princeton loses 13-44
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at things that are old.
“Princeton Forward”
The Band just flew in from Princeton, and boy are its arms tired (rimshot). Perhaps nothing is as old as America’s love for a good joke. Of course, my dog is pretty old. I just got him for my wife…not a bad trade (rimshot). And while we’re on the subject, take my wife…please (rimshot). Forming:
a) kangaroo in a bar (rimshot)
b) a fly in your soup (rimshot), or
c) a travelling salesman (rimshot)
“Yes, We Have No Bananas” (Band forms a blob)
In 1920 a group of young collegiates got together. “Hey kids, let’s put on a show,” said one. “My Dad has a football stadium,” said little Skeeter Palmer. “And my Mom can sew us hideously ugly and totally undesireable uniforms,” said one of the Brooks Brothers. “And my Dad’ll censor the shows,” said young Biff Rahr. And thus was born the first football band in the world. And thus was slain the boring halftime.
“Stadium Song” (Band forms ‘P.U.B.’)
With the upcoming Presidential elections, age seems to weigh heavily on everybody’s minds. Carter may act like a two year old, and Anderson may sound like a teenager, but the man no one can ignore is Father Time himself, Ronald Reagan. Answering to charges of senility when he can remember to, the star of such well known talkies as “Bedtime for Bonzo” contends that you’re only as old as your spiel. Suggesting that the appropriate term here is “Ancient,” the Band welcomes back the generation gap.
“Younger Than Springtime” (Band forms ‘GOP’ then changes to ‘GAP’)
As everyone knows, today is the last time Princeton and Rutgers will meet in football. Breaking with tradition the Band would like to be serious, and take this time to salute this oldest and grandest of all football rivalries.
“Carol Burnett Theme” (Band forms two lines)
