First we sang Sammy Backer stuff -- just to show you what degenerates we were, and then we gradually became so depraved that we sang "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" and the Iowa "U" song. Begging your pardon, I think it is a painful effort. Why doesn't someone write a real one? This one simply shouts "Iowa" as if yelping for help, and the music strives after orchestral effects that are wierd and grotesque.
