I’m So Proud: BYU Fanboy on Parade edition
(I’m not doing a very good job of sticking to my promise.)
Tonight while I was driving to the grocery store, I turned on the radio to AM 570, which is the home of one of my favorite sports talk radio shows–PMS. When I adjusted the volume, I could hear some familiar piano music and some screeching vocals, but it was hard to tell exactly what the music was, because Petros and Money were laughing hysterically. Finally, I heard enough to realize what it was: A guy singing about the glorious institution that is Brigham Young University* to the tune of “Prince Ali” from Aladdin.
The second I got home, I did a quick bit of research, and finally found the video on YouTube. If you are reading this, and you’re a Mormon, please turn on your speakers and prepare to be embarrassed beyond all comprehension. If you’re reading this and you’re not a Mormon, please turn off your speakers, don’t click “Play,” and simply pretend you never saw this post. It’s best that way.
A YouTube recording of a Mormon singing Disney show tunes with BYU-lyrics. Mind you, this was not KSL 1160 in SLC. KLAC is one of the premier talk radio stations in the entire country.
“BYU! I have no tattoo and don’t plan to get one!”
“I’ve got 95 hairs on my face now, but from now on I will make myself shave?”
He even squeezed in the Honor Code. Are you freaking kidding me?
Eventually, Petros & Money had to cut to commercial, and I went into the store to run my errands. When I came back out, they were back at it–only instead of just laughing, they were also inserting their own lyrics about, ah, Mormons into the song. Petros & Money made fun of this kid for a good solid half hour, and even threatened to play this song every day as a reminder of how bad things can actually get when “you don’t have any alcohol.”
I don’t even know what else to say beyond, Go Utes!
*Also known as Crap-for-Crap University. Not to be confused with my Alma Mater, Craptastic State.
Scott, that was almost as gross as the thought of reading/watching Twilight. Speaking of which, my wife had a great night out planned with her ‘friends’ who ‘forgot’ and didn’t show because they had to be there for the opening night of Twilight. The corrupting influences seeping into our sub-’culture’… Protect your wife…burn the book
this is embarassing, and i didn’t even go to byu.

Sadly, my wife already made it through the books. In any case, burning the books wouldn’t do much good, would it? I’d have to stab them with a stake to destroy them, right?
