The Cornhusker

The more I listen to it, it reminds me of the scene in Beerfest where they're drinking at Oktoberfest and all the other countries have cool drinking songs, but the Americans don't. This could be our cool drinking song or something

I like it! What a great update of an old and mostly lost song/tradition. I'm not sure if or how it could be played/sung in the stadium, but I'd like for somebody to figure it out and let the fans give it a shot.

 
At first I didn't care for it, but it kinda grew on me by the end. We'd have to have the words up on the big screen or something to do it and I wonder if it's too long?

 
Liked it the first time I heard it.

Let's get it in the mix--no way to know if it will work than to try, and this is better than some of the other efforts.

 
It's growing on me more and more. The guys on the radio are talking about how it could be incorporated and I like their ideas.

What guys? What are they saying?

1620.

For instance, they had an idea where the song starts out with the more traditional version of the song from the Scarlet and Cream singers. Then, towards the end somewhere, it switches over to this version with the entire crowd pumped up singing the chorus at the end. They had a mix of it like that and it could be pretty cool if everyone would get into it.

I think if they had more of a professional production done of the song and with the new sound system (for which I haven't heard yet), it might work pretty cool.

We can't get everyone to sing the national anthem right, so you want them to sing a song that they barely know if not at all?

Two slightly different situations.

If done right with this song, the atmosphere would be such that it wouldn't matter if you were singing it right. Just be loud and pumped up.

 
the more i listen to it, the more i like it and i think that it would be great between the 3rd and 4th qtrs with the new sound system and lyrics on the big screen. not "Jump Around" like the Badgers, more like the Neil Diamond song that they sing at Fenway Park in Boston,

 
I love the energy of the song, but it might be hard to pull off the whole thing.....the chorus would rock if you got 90000+ yelling along between the 3rd and 4th Quarter.....maybe one simple verse and the chorus!? Selling beer in the stadium would help this tremendously....and for the record...I don't drink!
