( band playing "Hot Time" )
( cheers and applause )
>> Thank you!
Can you hear us okay, Lady?
This is the University
of Wisconsin Band.
( cheers and applause )
>> Well, we felt like we
ought to follow that song
with maybe a little higher grade
of music all the way around.
And of course, my tastes
run more to George Gershwin,
Irving Berlin, Cole Porter.
But they don't know who that is.
( audience laughs )
So, they told me to maybe
come, up, maybe, at least
into the '60s, or so.
I got to examining some songs
from the '60s and I discovered
that Simon and Garfunkel
wrote some great melodies.
( cheers and applause )
Now, I knew that all the time.
But you know, when most people
think of Simon and Garfunkel,
they think of
the meaningful lyrics.
They think of the important
lyrics that they wrote
during that period,
like about friendship,
Paul Simon wrote,
"Bridge Over Troubled Water."
But there's really some
pretty good, really
some pretty good melodies.
So, we've put together a medley
of some of Paul Simon's
greatest melodies.
He wrote most of the tunes.
And this is just a medley,
that you'll recognize
a lot of these tunes, too.
We call this medley,
"The Sounds of Simon."

* Cecilia
You're breaking my heart
* You're shaking
My confidence daily
* Oh, Cecilia
I'm down on my knees
* I'm begging you please
To come home
* Come on home **

* Lie, la, lie
Lie, la, lie, la, lie, la, lie
* Lie, la, lie
Lie, la, lie, la, lie, la, lie
* La, la, la, lie **

( cheers and applause )
Thank you.
>> One of the joys I get out
of this concert is to bring in
some people who are
professionals and who get
a chance to work with
the students here for a week.
You have seen this next
gentleman a number of times
if you stay up late.
If you watch the
Conan O'Brien Show,
with the Max Weinberg Seven,
you've seen this next gentleman.
He's been a delight
for us this week.
He's been here since Tuesday.
We just had a great time,
and I know you're going
to enjoy him.
Ladies and gentlemen,
he's played with Diana Ross,
Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi,
anybody you can name,
he's been there.
And he's got ten
platinum records out.
He's just a great joy.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is Mark Pender!
( cheers and applause )
Mark "The Loveman" Pender!
( applause )
( band cheers )
>> Boy, do I love these guys!
Hey, Wisconsin!
Let's go, baby!

>> Boy, do I love these guys.
I don't think I've ever had
a better time in my entire life
hanging out these last few days.
( band cheers )
All right.
I'm going to do one more
from the CD.
I'm going to try
and take a different position
than I did last night.
Because after hanging out
with these guys
I've gotta...
I gotta hang out closer to them.
It's just not right, otherwise.
Are we ready?

* My baby's kisses, ooh wee
They sure are sweet

They knock me off my feet

* That's life
That's what other people say
* Riding high in April
Shot down in May
* But I know
I'm gonna change that tune
* When I'm back on top
Back on top in June
* I said, that's life
And as funny as it may seem
* Some people get their kicks
Squashing all my dreams
* But I don't let it
Let it get me down
* 'Cause this ol' fine world
It keeps turning around
* I've been a puppet
A pauper
* A pirate
A poet
* A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down
* And over and out
But I know one thing
* Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
* I pick myself up
And get back in the race
* That's life
Oh, I can't deny it
* I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart won't buy it
* If I didn't think
It was worth a single try
* I'd jump on a big bird
And then I'd fly
* I've been a puppet
A pauper
* A pirate
A poet
* A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down
* And over and out
But I know one thing
* Each time I find myself
Flat on my face
* I pick myself up
And get back in the race
* That's life
Oh, I can't deny it
* I thought of quitting
But my heart won't buy it
* If nothing's shakin'
Come this July
* I'm gonna roll myself up
I'm gonna roll myself up
* I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball
* And die
My, my...
* My... *
( cheers and applause )
>> Marcy Heim!
Marcy Heim!
( applause )
Marcy Heim.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
Wait, wait.
You're not supposed to
come on until later,
you know, cheer the crowd on.
* *
No, no.
We only have real musicians
playing tonight.
You really can't play
that thing, can you?
* *
( cheers and applause )
I'd expect you to know that.
That's your song.
But you probably don't know
anything else.
* *
( playing "On, Wisconsin" )
The real test is can you do
a fifth-quarter tune?
Can you do, like, "Wipeout"?
We'll find out.
One, two...
* *
Bucky Badger!
( cheers and applause )
Guitar virtuoso!
Thanks to his teacher,
Tom Hoban.
Without Tom, he'd be nothing.
How about it?
I think we ought to do a little
more fifth quarter stuff,
don't you, Bucky?
How about a little "Tequila"?
You can play along for a while.
Here we go!
A little "Tequila"!
* *
Tequila!
>> Yeah, but wait a minute.
I distinctly remember saying
"fifth quarter."
And you're sitting there.
You don't sit
during the fifth quarter!
Everybody on your feet.
If you're going to be that way,
we're going to do
the "Chicken Dance."
( cheers )
Everybody has to do
the "Chicken Dance"!
We'll start nice and slow
to get you going.
* *
( band playing "Chicken Dance" )
Okay, I want to tell you,
last night,
we had a 25.2 chorus.
I hear you.
I don't think it can be done
any faster.
So, I don't think we should
really even try to do it
again tonight.
What?
You want to try and do it
faster than 25.2?
>> Yeah!
>> We'll try it, we'll try.
One, two...
* *
( Band plays "Chicken Dance" )
Twenty-five flat!
( loud cheers and applause )
( band playing
"You've Said it All" )
>> When you say, Wisconsin,
you've said it all!
* *
( cheers and applause )
>> I heard a vocal group
a few months ago around town.
They've been singing
a lot around town
for the last few years.
They're a proponent
of A Cappella singing.
You know, A Cappella singing
is very big right now.
And I don't know why
people like it, because
it's just voices...
But these guys are great.
These guys are great.
You're really going to
enjoy them.
They come from Madison,
most of them.
And there's not one band guy
in here.
This, ladies and gentlemen,
is BC3 A Cappella.
( cheers and applause )
And you're going really
enjoy this!
* Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah
( vocalizations )
* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
* Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh...
* Everybody in the back row
Clap your hands real nice
* Whoa, whoa
Everybody in the front row
* Clap your hands
Ooh, yeah
* Everybody feel the beat
Just right
* Ooh...
That's all you got to do
* Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
* I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
* And drift away
Won't you take me away
* Day after day
I'm more confused
* I look for the light
Through the pouring rain
* You know that it's a game
That I hate to lose
* Feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
* Oh, give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
* I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
* And drift away
Now, give me the beat, boys
* And free my soul
I want to get lost
* In your rock and roll
And drift away
* Oh, yeah, yeah
She walks like summer
* And she acts like rain
Reminds me
* That there's time to change
Yeah, yeah, yeah
* Oh, yeah, yeah
Drift away
* Since the return
From her stay on the moon
* She listens like spring
And she talks like June
* Hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, drift away
* Drift away
Tell me
* Did you sail across the sun
Did you make it
* To the milky way
To see the lights all faded
* And that heaven is overrated
Tell me
* Did you fall
For a shooting star
* One without a permanent scar
Did you miss me
* While you were looking
For yourself out there
* Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
* I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
* And drift away
Won't you take me away
* Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
* When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
* And when I'm feeling blue
A guitar's coming through
* To soothe me
Yeah, yeah
* Thanks for the joy
That you're giving me
* So much joy
I want you to know
* That I believe in your song
I believe in your song
* Your rhythm and rhyme
And harmony
* Harmony, harmony
It helped me along
* Oh, you're making me strong
Oh, give me the beat, boys
* And free my soul
I want to get lost
* In your rock and roll
And drift away
* Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
* I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
* And drift away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
* Yeah, yeah
Give me the beat, boys
* And free my soul
I want to get lost
* In your rock and roll
And drift away
* Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no love
* pride, deep-fried chicken
Free my soul
* Best friends always
Lost in your rock and roll
* Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance
* Freeze-dried romance
Five-hour phone conversation
* The best soy latte
That you ever had
* And me
Yeah, yeah
* Give me the beat, boys
And free my soul
* I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
* And drift away
Even when I know you're wrong
* Can you imagine no
Give me the beat, boys
* And free my soul
I want to get lost
* In your rock and roll
And drift away
* Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Drift away **

>> Thank you for coming.
We close, as we always close,
with a medley
of Wisconsin songs.
We dedicate them tonight
to one of the greatest Badgers
of them all,
a man named Arlie Mucks.
These are "Songs to Thee,
Wisconsin."
If you're a Badger fan,
sing along with us.
If you're not a Badger fan,
what are you doing here
this evening?
"Songs to Thee, Wisconsin."
* *
* Songs to thee, Wisconsin
Ever let us sing

Ever let us bring

Thank you for being
such a wonderful audience.
Boy, have we had fun
the last three nights.
We hope you did, too.
We hope you enjoyed yourselves.
* *
( band playing "On, Wisconsin" )
We never say good-bye.
But tonight, we kind of do
to our seniors.
This is their last performance.
I'd like for them to stand,
please.
Our seniors, please.
( cheers and applause )
But we don't really
say good-bye.
We don't really say good-bye,
because we're going to
meet you somewhere.
Maybe it'll be back here
at the Kohl Center
for a basketball
or a hockey game,
or maybe back here
on April 19, 20 and 21,
next year, when we'll do
another one of these things.
Or maybe out in Camp Randall.
And I've done it three times,
But boy, I'd like to see
all of you one more time
in Pasadena.
( cheers )
Wherever it is,
we'll see you real soon,
and "On Wisconsin!"
