So slippery we could fry an egg on a sidewalk, it’s the Princeton University Band!

[Band marches on to Princeton Cannon Song]

New Haven has declared itself the pizza capital of the world – a claim the Princeton University Band would like to vehemently dispute. The real pizza capital of the world, as every sane person knows, is Lunchables headquarters. The band travelled to New Haven just to sample their pizza, and found it moldy, icky, lifeless, and also floppy. Between the greasy pizza and the vast quantities of olive oil pushed on students by the Yale administration, the band was positively slippery. If you are what you eat… then you can call us Oil.

The band was so greased that when we tried to get out of our communal bathtub, we slipped and slid and got stuck, just like William Howard Taft of the Yale Class of 1878. Following in the slick footsteps of every U.S. president since Taft, the band is all about that oil.

Slide away band… There’s no amount of Dawn dish soap that’ll unlubricate us! We are stuck!
