Hawkeye Victory Polka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hawkeye Victory Polka is the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band's adaptation of the song In Heaven There Is No Beer. First played in the 1960s, it was very popular among students and was played frequently as if it were another fight song. Controversy, however, surrounded the song, as some claimed it promoted the abuse of alcohol. This led to the banning of the song in 2001, although widespread fan pressure eventually forced Iowa's president to bring back the song only a month after it was banned. Today, it is played only after Iowa Hawkeyes football and basketball victories either home or away.
[edit] Lyrics
In Heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer
