"Moldy Banners"
(To the tune of the Statler Brother's
"Flowers on the Wall")
I keep hearing you're concerned about my sanity
That IU basketball makes me deny reality.
But we haven't won the tourney in almost thirty years,
So if I'm living in the past, it's just to hide my tears.
Moldy Banners on the wall
Are so ancient they might fall,
And the coach who brought us fame
Will not mention us by name.
Smoking wacky weed and watching games from '82;
Now don't tell me we're Irrelevant U.
Last night I dressed in candy stripes and went out on the town.
As long as we play Cupcake U. it's hard to keep us down.
But Big Ten season's coming, and I know that won't be fun.
So when things get bad just look for me in 1981.
Moldy Banners on the wall
Are so ancient they might fall,
And the coach who brought us fame
Will not mention us by name.
Smoking wacky weed and watching games from '82;
Now don't tell me we're Irrelevant U.
It's good to see you, I must go, we have a game tonight.
I need a drink to get my eyes accustomed to the sight.
On offense we just run around until we shoot a three,
And they call us 'Iniana' because we have no "D".
