Subject: RE: Fraternity & Sorority Chants and Songs
For what it's worth, it just occurred to me why part of that 2nd example that I posted on 12 Jul 07 - 08:38 PM seemed familiar to me.
Those lyrics that I'm referring to from that Kappa Delta cheer are:
"i'm KD born and KD bred and when i die i'll be KD DEAD"
-snip-
From 1965-1969 I went to a small liberal arts college in East, Orange, New Jersey that was called Upsala. That college, later a university, is now closed. But I remember that its students sang a song that included those words. That verse of that song was
We're Upsala born
and Upsala bred
And when we die
We'll be Upsala dead.
Chorus:
[For it's] Upsie Upsala Sala
Upsie Upsala Sala
Upsie Upsala
We love you.
[but of course students changed that line to "We hate you"}.
Another verse I remember was
Oh Upsie is great
and Upsie is grand
But don't go there
If you want to find a man
Chorus:
Upsie Upsala Sala
Upsie Upsala Sala
Upsie Upsala
We hate you.
-snip-
Actually, we really didn't mean it when we sang that we hated that school.
