    I've been wondering this for a while yet never even thought to ask on here:

     

    In the song Dry Campus, I get the references to Bob Knight and Antoine Randle El (spelling?), but who is it that wears black pants and why was it a big thing?  No matter which version you hear of the song, they always mention someone wearing black pants (whether it's at Kilroys or a typical frat party, this person is always there and is always apparently wearing black pants.)

Diva_Donna - It seems to be that it cuts out when they are talking about drinking or putting down the other school who shall not be named. I'm thinking it's intentional (not necessarily by SNC but someone) to cut out that kind of attitude but then I could just be reading more into it. It could be complete coincidence.

Dottie - It is definitely a great song! So catchy! I wish my schools had stuff like this to both make fun or or praise itself.

Didn't see this yesterday, or would have answered, but it's much more fun when the guys do it anyway! We know they're paying attention!
The version the guys are singing now is sorority girls wear black tights.
There's also a little Gaga in there too!
A bunch of the IU videos cut out periodically, except mine!, I'm wondering if that's so you can't save good copies, gotta ask them if I can remember!

Yes, thanks Seggie for clearing that up! I wondered about that line too. Could make out the whole line, but didn't understand the "black pants" reference.

Isn't it a great song, Christina? So much creativity & humor. I love "Hoosier Girl" too.

Ooooohhhhhh... okay. I totally didn't hear "sorority girls" as the name or who it was you were talking about. Makes sense now. It sounded something like "Surodio's wearing black pants" and you were talking about a specific person.

Thanks, Seggie, for the explanation!

Huh. Interesting.

The line is "sorority girls wear black pants". It's a stereotype about sorority girls on campus that all seem to wear a similar style of clothing, hence the black pants.
