Dorm Cheers are traditionally written to be sung to the tune of a song. Each dorm must have two cheers. Usually, the judges will claim the dorm cheer competition is a tie until they hear the 2nd song, so it can be to a dorm's best interests to save their better song for last.

Pegram

(1) To the tune of Hootie and the Blowfish's "Let Her Cry"

We know the other dorms want to be like us; And they're not far behind; But we've got Gift to side with us; And Preeta's on our minds; The Bathroom Party may have really sucked; But we'll get 'em back next time

- Humming - 2 lines

CHORUS: And we won't cry; Even if we come in last; We'll just try; To forget about our past; We'll play clean; And with our skills we'll make 'em gasp; And when the Quadfest is all over; We'll have had a blast

And if those big bad fourth years beat us up; We promise we won't whine; 'Cause in the games we will clean up; And show them how we shine; Alspaugh, Bassett, and Brown are cool; But we're the 1st years, 1st years rule!

-CHORUS-

(2) To the tune of UB-40's "Red Red Wine"

Red, red dorm; don't be misled Pegram will win this year Now it's been said

Red, red dorm, it's up to us All we can do's our best Quadfest or bust Quadfest or bust

We'll be on time and be good We'd go to bed at 10 if we could

Our RAs, they're the best Together we'll win Quadfest

CHORUS: Red, red dorm, stay in the lead, Don't let us come in last It'd tear apart My red, red heart.

Pree-ta Nay-ak Your name rhymes with "kayak" And there's Gift, our DL Her last name is hard to spell

-CHORUS-

RAP: Red, red dorm you make me feel so fine You kepp me snarfling all of the time Red, red dorm you make me feel so fine I score a million points when you're on my mind Red, red dorm you make me feel so glad One week from now I'm going to feel sad Red, red dorm you make me feel so fine Monkeypapadoobagibberish

Bassett

(1) To the tune of Puff Daddy's "I'll Be Missing You"

Every day we wake; Every cake we bake; Every face we break; Every lawn we rake; Bassett's beating you.

Every frost we flake; Every earth we quake; Every milk we shake; Attack you with a snake; Bassett's hurting you

Chorus: Oh can't you see; Blue belongs with me; We're gonna kick your ass; Slice off your face with glass

Every skull we break; Every purse we take; Every single day; With all these games we play; Basset's smiting you.

Every orgasm we fake; Every love we make; Every tooth that aches; Every guy named Jake; Bassett's castrating you.

(2) To the tune of the Cars' "Just What I Needed"

Our dorm minds you coming here; You're wasting all our time; Cause when your stench is oh so near; It makes us hate your dirty kind; We're gonna slaughter all your dorms; We'll eat your brains like candy corns; So why are you coming here And wasting all our time?

(humming)

Chorus: Your dorm is just what we needed; We needed something to eat; We'll rip out all your intestines; And kill you in your sleep

You just don't wanna fight our dorm; Cause all you'll do is weep; If your RAs not from Bassett; Then he or she's a creep; We wear blue and we wear it well; We look so good that you can tell; That we're gonna kill you here; And rip out your entrails

Brown

To the tune of "House of the Rising Sun"

There is a dorm by the name of Brown That seems to always win We've spanked you all a thousand times Well it's time to spank again

Some other dorms have risen up But we will beat them down Before we kick your faces in You must submit to Brown

And we will spit upon your grave And your ugly mothers' too You'll wish that you were never born (Down with Bassett Blue)

So crawl back on back to your pathetic dorms Before the bloodbath starts Acknowledge us as mighty gods Or we'll feast upon your hearts

When the Quadfest is over and done We won't enslave you all Your heads will look so beautiful When they're mounted on our walls

Perhaps we said we'd spare your lives Unfortunately, we lied So we'll ignore your sissy tears (Forget you ever cried)

There is a dorm by the name of Brown That seems to always win We've spanked you all a thousand times Well it's time to spank again

Some other dorms have risen up But we will beat them down Before we kick your faces in You must submit to Brown You'll ALL submit to Brown We'll watch you bowing down You'll all submit to Brown

Pegram

(1) To the tune of the Beatles' "Let It Be"

When I find myself in times of Quadfest, mother Abby comes to me, Speaking words of wisdom: VICTORY.

And in this day of Quadfest, with all you bums in front of me, You'll be crying for mercy, LET ME BE…

Let me be, let me be, let me be, let me be. Pegram will win Quadfest, VICTORY.

And when you broken hearted people - Brown-Alspaugh-Bassett agree, Pegram did deserve VICTORY.

For though you're old and jaded, there is still a chance for you to plead. Pegram is the best, Let it be.

And when the scores are tallied it will be quite plain to see, Pegram rules forever --- VICTORY.

So wake up to the sound of Pegram and shout it out along with me, We speak with words of wisdom --- VICTORY!

(2) To the tune of Soft Cell's "Tainted Love"

Sometimes we feel we've got to prove ourselves We've got to win Quadfest from the dorms that try to keep it away from us

The pride we have Will lead us there With our dreams of first we toss and turn, we can't sleep at night.

Chorus: Once you laughed at us, Now you run from us Pegram Dorm is kicking the butts you wish that you'd kept hidden Eat our dust yum that's so fillin'

Oooooh, it's Pegram's Day! Oooooh, it's Pegram's Day!

Now we know we're gonna win Quadfest You'll have to give up Do you really want to be shamed by us? To make things clear, you'll need someone to wipe your tears And make you think you can play But we're sorry, we don't play that way!

Chorus

Don't taunt us please! You just can't stand that we will win! So Bronwyn, Jason and Joe, You'd better pack your things and go!

It's Pegram's Day! Oooooooh!

Bassett

(note, this may have been their dorm skit instead. It needs confirmation)

<enter RJ with underpants on head; Chappy dressed as the Lone Ranger and Andrew dressed as Wolverine on the circle quad>

RJ: Look! Over there! Lone Ranger and Tonto? No, Chappy, Pony, and Wolverine. Brave crusaders, where are your comrades? What's that? You don't know? Quiet, Chappy, quiet Wolvie. What's that - listen closely - it sounds like . . . like Robots!!

Silicon Soldiers!

Data Demons!

These robots mean business; they didn't come to be trifled with! So you better get out of their way.

These robots are so powerful, nobody'd mess with them, unless there was say an army of walking dead dedicated to robo-destruction.

Oh my! metal-munching zombies!

These undead legions aren't going to get along too well with the metal militia!

(I hope Chappy and Wolvie . . . )

There might even be . . . God forbid it . . . a war.

<Atari Teenage Riot "Start the Riot" plays. war ensues.>

<Current 93 "Emperium V" plays.>

Oh look, it's beautiful! The robots and zombies, united by their love of interpretive dance and apocalyptic folk rock, have made up. God Bless you Current 93!

Brown

(1) To the tune of the Cure's "Friday I'm in Love"

We Love TIP and Brown's the best; We are gonna win Quadfest; Some may think that we're in jest but Brown will win Quadfest.

Jell-o snarfling is our sport; In basketball we rule the court; Oh winning Quadfest is our forte and Brown will win Quadfest.

Brown is so fast; Bassett always comes in last; Alspaugh we will storm right past... Mystery Events are great; Victory is ours by fate; For lights out we are never late and Brown will win Quadfest.

music/dance interlude

The third floor is "bisexual"; Marlo, our DL, is cool; We'll make Pegram look like fools and Brown will win Quadfest.

The Spa will lose hope; Pegramites for weeks will mope; Against our skill you cannot cope...

Shaving cream in your eyes it's such a wonderful surprise to see those cheese poof numbers rise; Recycling cans ignoring Coke on our hands Brown is the best dorm in the land; In vollyball we'll fight it's such a gorgeous sight we'll see you lose and we'll sleep well tonight; We can never get enough enough of this stuff 'CAUSE BROWN WILL WIN QUADFEST!

We love TIP and Brown's the best; We are gonna win Quadfest; Taking you down is our quest and Brown will win Quadfest.

Alspaugh loses every year; Bassett boys will be in tears; We'll make Giles run in fear and Brown will win Quadfest!

(2) To the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You"

We will, we will, beat you! (x2)

Brown dorm is the best; Gonna put you to the test; We're prepared to beat you at Quadfest!

We've got spirit in our hearts; Paint on our face; So don't be surprised if we win first place. 'cuz...

We will, we will, beat you! (x2)

Brown dorm is gonna win; there is no doubt; Don't you know yet what we're all about?

We've got vollyball studs, the fastest chicks, and the only bisexual floor at TIP!

We will, we will, beat you! (x4)

Now here's the last thing; We have to say; Our basketball and frisbee's gonna blow you away!

What else can we say? Brown dorm is the house that's gonna beat everybody else!

Brown will, Brown will, beat you! (x2)

(3) To the tune of "It's a Small World"

There is just one dorm who will win the day; We don't come to fight, we're just here to play; Try to beat us, we dare; but it's time you're aware: Brown will beat you after all.

It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; Brown will win Quadfest.

As the sun beats down on the circle quad; Brownies all around will start to applaud; There is no chance, we must say; We'll beat you any day; Brown will beat you after all.

It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; Brown will win Quadfest.

Marlo, our DL, is really the best; She will lead our dorm; Brown will past the test; We will fight from the start; We'll make snarfling an art; Brown will beat you after all.

It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; It's a Brown world after all; Brown will win Quadfest.
