It should be used by the Pennsylvania Dept of Public Health as a PSA for prevention of STDs.
Not too sure about we are but I AM angry I watched that video. Good find, sad showing.
It won't be a party for them on the night of October 30th.

Amen Brother

What is this? 97.1?
April 24th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
Boom-By-Yay!!!
April 24th, 2010 at 10:11 AM ^
The revolution will be televised.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:11 AM ^
All I can do is shake my head.....
..shaking your head like, yeah?
nice
April 24th, 2010 at 10:17 AM ^
the fuck?
April 24th, 2010 at 10:22 AM ^
What the hell is the deal with the confederate flag?!
April 24th, 2010 at 10:45 AM ^
The game was a "White Out"? Seriously, Penn State is the whitest college ever.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:04 AM ^
You didn't know that Pennsylvania was part of the confederacy.... oh wait.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:07 AM ^
I once took back roads from Cooperstown, NY cutting over the the I-90 split in Eastern NY. Whole side of a barn was painted to be the Confederate war flag. For half a second I thought my speedometer was wrong and that I had driven 1,000 miles in less than an hour.

As a resident and voter of the state of Pennsylvania (but student at Michigan), I am here to tell you that we have Pittsburgh on the west, Philly on the east, and the state of Alabama resides in the middle of the state. I'm looking for a good article where Carville says it but can't find a good source. If you just google Alabama in the Middle though, you should get a bunch of links.

...for Flight of the Conchords reference.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:34 AM ^
it's a Pennsylvanian Aristocratic wedding. You can clearly see the bride and groom dancing together to consummate their union for half the video (the groom is wearing a ceremonial backpack).
April 24th, 2010 at 10:42 AM ^
dancing to black music underneath a Confederate flag, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be noticing. (It IS a WHITE out, no?) Is the lyric out-of-their-minds scary, or? I note a guy with a Michigan shirt on the car, right? I think I need more clues.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:57 AM ^
I'm soooo glad I'm not the only one who considers Miley Cyrus's music to be 'black music'
April 24th, 2010 at 10:59 AM ^
How is Miley Cyrus "black music"?
April 24th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
because the Jay-Z song was on...I thought it made total sense.....
April 24th, 2010 at 11:14 AM ^
So we're vicariously listening to black music through Miley's unparalleled ballad-writing? Got it!
April 24th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
see below. Know much of anything about music?
April 24th, 2010 at 11:15 AM ^
But the Brittney song was on too...
April 24th, 2010 at 11:43 AM ^
So it's also "white trash music" as well, then.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:03 PM ^
I cannot help you. But white kids have been dancing to lifted black beats--starting before Elvis--for generations (not wearing Dolce and Gabbana hats, I will grant you).
I think this tune derives a lot of its flavor from dancehall ballads, since you can hear a million like it on any minibus on any island in the Caribbean. We go look we'll probably find some black songwriter sold it to Cyrus (like most of Madonna's tunes. . .)
I'm not saying these kids are racist, btw. In fact, I like the song and the tune--but I've always been one to defend a good pop tune.
At least you helped me understand why the poster thinks it's lame. If I were a college kid I'm sure I'd deride Miley Cyrus, too.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:07 PM ^
Used to sell WalMart clothes--yikes:

They weren't "used" for anything, they wrote the songs and got paid for them. Dr. Luke in particular has a nice laundry list of awful pop songs to his name as writer or producer. From his Wikipedia article:
He has collaborated with songwriter/producer Max Martin and has co-written and produced/co-produced the No. 1 singles "Since U Been Gone" and "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson, "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne, "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry, "Right Round" by Flo Rida, and "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha.
Nobody forced him to work on those songs.
Wait, wait, wait...Miley Cyrus doesn't write her own music? And you're telling me she SELLS WALMART CLOTHES WITH HER SONGS?!
See, because I thought she was a bastion of lyricism and anti-corporate scruples.
penned the song.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:06 AM ^
That's what I get for trying too hard to be witty.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:33 AM ^
on the Elvis rather than the Pat Boone side of things.
April 24th, 2010 at 10:45 AM ^
Drunk people + song everyone has heard a million times = drunk people singing that song.
I don't think it's a huge deal. If it would have been NSYNC or something, I think it would have been funny.
Although, I will say this. Why that song was played in the first place is the question. Not nearly a good enough girl:guy ratio to justify even playing that song.
They were desperately clinging to the few remaining females. Surprisingly, said females were not wooed by these studs' awesome dance moves. So they went for the "I will pretend to like effeminate things" angle. Chicks dig that stuff.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:01 AM ^
The best part is the guy with the Iowa shirt. Iowa took their place in a BCS game with that domination.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:02 AM ^
I had to stop it once they started jumping and singing it. That is too much for someone to take on a Saturday.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:16 AM ^
... i have never liked PSU, mostly because everyone who comes out sucks in the NFL, and the bears have had the pleasure of drafting 3 PSU players in the first round in the last 10-15 years.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:39 AM ^
It just looks like a bunch of kids having fun with shitty music to me.
April 24th, 2010 at 11:45 AM ^
Yeah, as some other people have already said, I don't really get what the OP is getting at. The same type of thing happens on State Street every football Saturday, and I'm willing to bet it's happened with the same exact song even. Now, if he was talking about the confederate flag, yeah, I don't really get that...
April 24th, 2010 at 12:09 PM ^
I have to disagree. That was pretty damned fruity. Especially that dude in the front of the camera..
April 24th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
This happens in Ann Arbor all the time, sometimes with even more embarrassing songs.
Although I'd like to think we're better dancers than they are, and we don't have confederate flags.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
We definitely have confederate flags. Not many, but we do have them
April 24th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
The only time I've ever seen a confederate flag in Ann Arbor was on the wall in some guy's bedroom. Not flying outside on a flagpole.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
i dont get it...looks like rick's to me (sans confederate flag)
April 24th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
It looks kind of ridiculous but the only real problem with that scene is the confederate flag. Hard to get by that one.
April 24th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
IT'S FUNNY BC IT'S IRONIC! MILEY CYRUS AT A FOOTBALL GAME! LULZ
April 24th, 2010 at 12:48 PM ^
Well.....If this is such a ridiculous scene, I'm glad nobody has a video of me tailgating during last season.
*Knocks on Wood*
That's all I can say.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you walked by a fratty pregame at Michigan this season you probably heard Miley at least 1-5 times, and most likely being danced to much more enthusiastically I might add.
