| − | [[The Afterdance]] is a tradition mostly specific to Lancaster in the sense that only Lancaster has a true dance after its dances. However, many sites have developed after-dance traditions. | + | #REDIRECT [[Afterdance]] |

| |
| − | | |
| − | The Afterdance takes place, oddly enough, after the dance. "[[Song:American Pie|American Pie]]" is traditionally the last song, and after that is played; someone usually shouts "Afterdance!", and all the students wishing to partake in the Afterdance (a significant, if variable, number) proceed to stand in a circle in the area of the Quad in front of [[Site:Lancaster|Thomas Hall]]. Once the group has fully arrived, prominent members of the CTY student community (generally [[Alcove|Alcovians]]) begin to lead the songs.
| |

| − | ===Session 1===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The order of Afterdance songs for Lancaster Session 1 usually goes:
| |
| − | *Circle Song
| |
| − | *In Heaven There Is No Beer
| |
| − | *Eyelashes
| |
| − | *Cows
| |
| − | *That's Amore
| |
| − | *Tenticaly Joy
| |
| − | *Hokey Pokey
| |
| − | *CTY Has A Nice Butt
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====That's Amore====
| |
| − | | |
| − | This was a song added in CTY session one 2007 by the Runvenites because it was traditional for them to sing it after the the dances. It started after the second dance, when Zev Hurwich and Fred Westenberg (also known as Fred Jones also known as Beadspreadfred) were sitting outside talking about relationships. Suddenly Zev noticed the full moon and burst out singing That's Amore by Dean Martin, the entire hall joined. The modified lyrics are as follows:<br>
| |
| − | (To initiate the song someone screams out "Hey ______ what's Amore?")<br>
| |
| − | "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's Amore (repeated:That's Amore)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine that's Amore (repeated:That's Amore)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bells will ring-aling-aling ting-a-ling-aling-ring-aling-aling and you'll say that's amore (repeated:That's Amore)<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | When the stars make you drool like a pasta fazool that's amore (repeated:That's Amore)"<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Tenticaly Joy====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another song added to Afterdance in 2007 by Zev Hurwich, it was invented by Stephen Rosen at a game of silent football but popularized by the both of them. It is unique in that it is the only afterdance song that requires two people to lead it (because you need eight tentacles). It goes like this:
| |
| − | ::"(Waving the right arm and leg) These are the right tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the left arm and leg) And these are the left tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the left arm and leg again) These are not the right tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the right arm and leg) And these are not the left tentacles,
| |
| − | ::To recap
| |
| − | ::(Waving the right arm and leg:: These are the right tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the left arm and leg:: And these are the left tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the left arm and leg again) These are not the right tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(Waving the right arm and leg) And these are not the left tentacles,
| |
| − | ::(jumping up and down waving all limbs) Tenticaly joy!!!!!!"

| − | ===Session 2===
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is the current list and probable order of Afterdance songs for Lancaster Session 2 as of the last dance.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The After-dance always begins with the circle song. It always ends with the chant, and immediately preceding it is the Beer Song, as of 2006.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====C is for Cookie====
| |
| − | | |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with "C".
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you take a bite out of a cookie, it looks like a C.<br>
| |
| − | And if you take a bite out of a donut, it also looks like a C.<br>
| |
| − | But it is not as good.<br>
| |
| − | And sometimes the MOON looks like a C <br>
| |
| − | But you can't eat that, <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | "C" is for Cookie;<br>
| |
| − | That's good enough for me.<br>
| |
| − | Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with "C".
| |
| − | | |
| − | [varies very slighty from orginal Cookie Monster song.]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Added and led by [[User:Jeff Sachs|Jeff Sachs]] after hearing it on Sarah Danly's iPod on the 2nd dance of LAN.06.2.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Nickel====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, on the last dance of 06.2, a round of ''' ''Nickel''' '' was led by Noelle. The song goes as follows:
| |
| − | | |
| − | My name is Michael<br>
| |
| − | I've got a nickel shiny and new<br>
| |
| − | I'm gonna buy me<br>
| |
| − | All sorts of candy<br>
| |
| − | Thats what I'm gonna do!
| |
| − | | |
| − | My girl is Cindy<br>
| |
| − | When we get married<br>
| |
| − | We're gonna have a baby or two.<br>
| |
| − | We're gonna take them<br>
| |
| − | To see their grandmas<br>
| |
| − | That's what we're gonna do.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | ====Staff Variants====
| |
| − | | |
| − | In at least the last few years, increasing numbers of Instructional and Residential staff members have attended the Afterdance. Staff who watch the Afterdance at Lancaster often have to improvise new lyrics to some of the songs in order to preserve their closely-guarded '''moral authority'''. For example, some instructional staff members sing this version of the Beer Song:
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Heaven, there is no milk!<br>
| |
| − | That's why we just drink Silk<sup>TM</sup>!<br>
| |
| − | And when we are gone from... hilk?<br>
| |
| − | Our friends will be drinking all our milk!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This alternative version started during the second session of either 2004 or 2005. A new version of the third line might end up replacing the current version, but until then the staff members are focusing their efforts on thinking up a cleaned-up "line 3" of the "Cows are Freaky" song.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Staff:Adam Roush|Adam Roush]] and other staff have also yelled an alternative version of the "CTY, You Have a Nice Butt!" chant (LAN.06.2):
| |
| − | | |
| − | CTY, YOU HAVE A NICE BRAIN!<br>
| |
| − | CTY, WE RESPECT YOU!<br>
| |
| − | KEEP ON YOUR CLOTHES, KEEP ON YOUR CLOTHES!<br>
| |
| − | CTY, WE RESPECT YOU!
| |
| − | | |
| − | So far, no student has been heard shouting this version. This modification of the chant was probably popularized by Adam, but was proposed and chanted by a group of teaching assistants after one of the dances in the [[Places:LAN|ASFC]], when the students ended up chanting for a very long time due to the long lines to get over the bridge back to campus (and, in the process, disturbed some elderly people leaving a nearby restaurant). Other variants of the third line, such as "write me a poem" or "take out your books, who cares about looks" have also been proposed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Both sessions===
| |
| − | ====The Circle Song====
| |
| − | | |
| − | One person begins "May I please have a circle?"(Second Session), or "Hey everone get in a circle!" (First Session); everyone else then calls back "What's a circle?"
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're in College 1, which is a humanities course, a circle is an '''O.''' (Ohhh...)
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're in College 3, which is a math course, a circle is x<sup>2</sup>+y<sup>2</sup>=r<sup>2</sup> where r<sup>2</sup> is usually, but not always, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, <b>42</b>, etc!
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're in College 2, which is a science course, a circle is "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" or "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."
| |
| − | [explanation: while saying "eee," you must have one hand over your eyes and the other pointing as you spin around in a circle demonstration the Doppler effect. Then you switch direction and hands on the next "eee"]
| |
| − | | |
| − | (Why?) BECAUSE THEY'RE DIFFERENT!! [explanation: The angular momentum of the spinning person is, in fact, different depending on the direction.]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====In Heaven There Is No Beer (The Beer Song)====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: The name used is Phil in honor of [[Phil Gunn|Phil Gunn]] who died of heart problems shortly after LAN.05.2. This idea was proposed by the then-nomore Pickle, [http://www.livejournal.com/users/tsukemono5/64646.html here].<br>
| |
| − | Note 2: At LAN.06.1, Pickle's suggestion was followed through with.
| |
| − | | |
| − | -Hey Phil! Is there any beer in heaven?<br>
| |
| − | All: Lets find out! [ommitted 06.1 and 06.2]
| |
| − | | |
| − | [To sum up and clarify all of this: traditionally, the above back-and-forth has been used, but at LAN.06.1 and LAN.06.2 the chant was addressed to Phil. Since Phil was unable to respond, the responding part of the chant was lost. The song is sometimes referred to as "The Phil Song."]
| |
| − | | |
| − | In heaven there is no beer!<br>
| |
| − | NO BEER<br>
| |
| − | That's why we drink it here!<br>
| |
| − | RIGHT HERE!<br>
| |
| − | And when we're gone from here!<br>
| |
| − | FROM HERE!<br>
| |
| − | Our friends will drink our beer!<br>
| |
| − | OUR BEER!<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tra la la la la la!<br>
| |
| − | LA LA! [clap on both]<br>
| |
| − | Tra la la la la la!<br>
| |
| − | LA LA! [clap on both]<br>
| |
| − | Tra la la la la la!<br>
| |
| − | LA LA! [clap on both]<br>
| |
| − | Tra la la la la la!<br>
| |
| − | (Leader: FASTER!)<br>
| |
| − | [repeat entire thing three times, faster each subsequent time, and [optional] draw out the very last "la."]

| − | ====Cows are Freaky====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cows are freaky when they look at you<br>
| |
| − | and they're freaky when they look at me too.<br>
| |
| − | So if you meet a cow that's high on crack,<br>
| |
| − | don't be a cowboy and try to ride its back<br>
| |
| − | 'cause cows are freaky when they look at you<br>
| |
| − | and they're freaky when they look at me too!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Eyelashes====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once I met a guy,<br>
| |
| − | [And] He didn't have any eyelashes.<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked him why,<br>
| |
| − | [And] He said he didn't know.<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his mom<br>
| |
| − | [And] She hadn't noticed anyway.<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his dad<br>
| |
| − | [And] He said he didn't know.<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his neighbors<br>
| |
| − | [And] His neighbors <pump fist> said to "GO AWAY!"<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his dog,<br>
| |
| − | But he wasn't very helpful. <optional shrug><br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his friends,<br>
| |
| − | [And] His friends said "who the hell are you talking about?"<br>
| |
| − | So I went and asked his teacher<br>
| |
| − | She said (its because) he had too many tonguesszzzzzzzz.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====The Hokey-Pokey====
| |
| − | | |
| − | You put your [insert appendage here] in,<br>
| |
| − | You put your [ ] out,<br>
| |
| − | You put your [ ] in and you shake it all about, <br>
| |
| − | You do the Hokey-Pokey and you turn yourself about (or "around")<br>
| |
| − | That's what it's all a-bout! OINK OINK!
| |
| − | | |
| − | [Appendages: right foot, left foot, right hand, left hand, fob (for the last dance this becomes "lanyard", "no fob", or "not-fob" because students have already turned in their fobs), skull, whole self.<br>
| |
| − | LAN.07.2: fob was moved to the end, after skull and whole self.]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Dance (in addition to the basic):<br>
| |
| − | "Turn yourself about/around" clockwise, alternating poking your right and left pointer finger in the air.<br>
| |
| − | Clap each (six) syllable of "That's what it's all a-bout!"<br>
| |
| − | On the "a" syllable in "about", lift your right leg and clap under your knee, immediately return leg and clap "-bout" normally.<br>
| |
| − | Pump your right fist on "OINK" (twice).<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====CTY, You Have a Nice Butt====
| |
| − | | |
| − | CTY, YOU HAVE A NICE BUTT!<br>
| |
| − | CTY, WE LOVE YOU!<br>
| |
| − | TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES, TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES,<br>
| |
| − | CTY, WE LOVE YOU!
| |
| − | | |
| − | The chant is shouted at the top of your lungs while <s>running</s> <s>jogging</s> skipping back to your dorms. Do not stop until you have reached your dorm, your room if you're really hardcore, or your bed if you're über-hardxcore. When dances are in the [[Places:LAN|ASFC]] and students trek slowly over a long distance to get back to their dorms, this chant can go on for a long time indeed, to the chagrin of staff members.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This ....phenomenon? originated at LAN.00, and in its original form contained the last line "1999!", which was irrelevant even then.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: At LAN.05.1 and LAN.06.1, the above chant was shouted a few times by the students assembled in the circle, until a few RAs, who had assembled near the circle, yelled at the group, "Go home! Nobody loves you!" to which the group replied to the RAs, "We love you!" The students then resumed the chant while going back to their dorms, as described above.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Further note: The "Go home, nobody loves you/we love you" exchange was commonplace at least as early as LAN.00.1. The exchange then moved to right after [[Song:American Pie|American Pie]] and before the Afterdance, but remained traditional.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Further further note: The "Go home, nobody loves you/we love you" exchange has been changed right after [[Song:American Pie|American Pie]] since at least the mid-1990's. It has not always, however, been chanted again after the Afterdance on the way back to the dorms. In 2007 Zev Hurwich did the following, while in the stairway of North Ben and everyone was still singing he would say the "Softer" then "Softer Still" then "Now Whisper" and finally "Now Shout" and the North Ben residents singing would comply.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some people have been known to chant the first line as "CTY, has a nice butt," rather than using the word "you have." It is more rhythmic that way, I believe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Those people are misguided. It's equally rythmic to go "you have," shortening the "you," if not more so because it doesn't necessitate a pause, which is needed between the "CTY" and the "has" in the other version.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This chant is usually accompanied by several people skipping into the center of the circle and removing an article of clothing (under which, of course, they are still properly covered.)
| |

| − | ==Carlisle==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sing the Star-Spangled Banner while walking back from a dance. [CAR.05,.06.1]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==LMU==
| |
| − | | |
| − | At the LMU site, when a dance ends, one of the RAs will go up on stage and scream out, "Go home! Nobody loves you! NOBODY!!!" This RA, as per tradition, is usually one of the celebrated Boring brothers, or the legendary Tom Ryan.
| |
| − | | |
| − | At the last 07.1 dance, eight people chanted "CTY, You Have a Nice Butt." But eight people don't make a tradition.

| − | ===Session 1===
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b><i>I'll Make a Man Out of You</i></b>, from Mulan
| |
| − | | |
| − | Everyone links shoulders and stand in a circle or line and sing Mulan's I'll Make a Man Out of You. The last DJ of the dance should put the song on. During the chorus all the nevermores say "Be a Man".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Let's get down to business - to defeat the Huns<br>
| |
| − | Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?<br>
| |
| − | You're the saddest bunch I've ever met<br>
| |
| − | But you can bet before we're through<br>
| |
| − | Mister, I'll make a man out of you
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tranquil as a forest<br>
| |
| − | But on fire within<br>
| |
| − | Once you find your center<br>
| |
| − | You are sure to win<br>
| |
| − | You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot<br>
| |
| − | And you haven't got a clue<br>
| |
| − | Somehow I'll make a man out of you
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm never gonna catch my breath<br>
| |
| − | Say goodbye to those who knew me<br>
| |
| − | Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym<br>
| |
| − | This guy's got 'em scared to death<br>
| |
| − | Hope he doesn't see right through me<br>
| |
| − | Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Chorus:</b>
| |
| − | Be a man (Nevermores only)<br>
| |
| − | We must be swift as the coursing river<br>
| |
| − | Be a man (Nevermores only)<br>
| |
| − | With all the force of a great typhoon<br>
| |
| − | Be a man (Nevermores only)<br>
| |
| − | With all the strength of a raging fire<br>
| |
| − | Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
| |
| − | | |
| − | Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive<br>
| |
| − | Heed my every order and you might survive<br>
| |
| − | You're unsuited for the rage of war<br>
| |
| − | So pack up, go home you're through<br>
| |
| − | How could I make a man out of you?

| − | ===Session 2===
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>CTY, you have a nice butt!</b>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some people brought over this tradition from Lancaster and was chanted in 2006. There was some protesting against this, so it may or may not be continued.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: As far as I know, in 2007 Session 2, this tradition didn't continue.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note: I believe you are right. Was there, didn't happen.
