I agree that it makes sense in international matches. Otherwise I don't really see the point.

But the real kicker, and this is 100% true, and the lyrics will be with me until the day my mind drifts away like Dobie Gray, our school song was set to Greenwood's music. Only the lyrics were changed.
Instead of "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free" it started "I'm proud to be a Cougar Cub, where at least I know I'll learn..." It was actually a pretty impressive rewrite. We had to all learn and and sing it at assembly. I don't remember learning math or reading or anything else in 4th grade, but I remember having to learn that.

Up and down, here I am.
Up and down, I'm your diaphragm.
That was not our school song, though.

I also remember graduation from elementary school where we had to sing:
Here at OPS
We had our fun
But now those good old days are done
Which now that I type it out is really fucking depressing. Is fun over once you hit 7th grade?
