Yale 1977
Yale at Princeton
November 5th, 1977
Princeton loses 8-44
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at the advantages of a Yale education. [slight pause] And now, the Princeton University Marching Band takes a long, hard look at Psychology.
“Princeton Forward”
During his experiments on bulldogs, Eli Pavlov noticed that everytime he rang his gong (Band rolls over and plays dead), all the Yalie bulldogs rolled over and played dead, [If Princeton us winning at halftime] Just like their football team. [If Princeton is losing at halftime] Just like a usual Saturday night in New Haven.
“Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone” (Band forms a bone)
No psychology study would be complete without a Rorschach inkblot test. What do you see on the field?
a) Farrah Fawcett-Majors
b) Burt Reynolds
c) FARRAH-FAWCETT MAJORS
Or, for those with great perception,
e) the Princeton Band
Well, with a Rorschach test, “Anything Goes.”
“Anything Goes” (The Band forms a blob.)
One experiment that every Psych student performs is to put lower forms of life through mazes. The Band now forms a maze that a Yalie could NEVER get through.
(The Band makes a double ‘P’ with the bottom open, forming a maze. A BM in a blue sweater and white pants fails to negotiate the maze.)
But in pity, the Band now provides this much simpler maze that anyone, even a Yalie, could get through with a little bit of luck.
“With a Little Bit of Luck” (The Band changes into an open double ‘Y’. The ‘Yalie’ manages to go from the bottom, out the top of the ‘Y’.)
You are getting sleepy. Watch the Band. You now see before you the 2000 strong, high-stepping, soundpower, Princeton Bigtime Marching Band, playing a hard driving arrangement of “March Grandioso.”
“Marcho Grandioso” (The Band forms a concert shell at the hash mark, and marches off at the end of the song to the cheers of thoroughly drunken Alums and students.)
[N.B. The first option of the Pavlov joke was NOT used.]
