Whoop, Here It Is: The THON 2015 Line Dance
Each year, thousands of Penn State students gather in the BJC for THON weekend to support children and families touched by cancer and to celebrate life. Each year, a line dance rings in the background of the memories we make For The Kids. This year’s line dance, per usual, is rife with cultural references and popular songs from the year.
Without further ado, we give you the lyrics to the THON 2015 Line Dance.
Stretching:
Lean with it, rock with it / Penn State, now pop with it
Hands out, stretch back / Tighten up your fanny pack
46 on the clock / Grab your tutus and high socks
15,000 on your feet / Dancers, ya feel that beat?
Verse 1:
THON ’15 make some noise / Nittany Lions, “We dem boyz”
Penn State Pride, For the Glory / Do it for the campus story
Wait, what? Chipotle’s closed? / Let’s go to Primanti Bros
Jamba Juice, brand new deli / HUB food, get in my belly!
Peace prize won by scholar / Neha Gupta, HOLLA!
Set, spike, victory / Lionettes make history
Pinstripe win in NYC / Seniors show their loyalty
Barbour Barron are on board / 409, wins restored!
Chorus:
Whoop! There it is! / We’re here for the kids
Raise the roof, don’t stop, don’t stop / Diamonds, up top, up top
Together, one family / Magic, the BJC
For the dreamers all year long / We Are! Penn State Strong
Verse 2: News/Sports
Nations mourn with France / “I’ll ride with you,” Aussies chant
Ferguson in the papers / Seeking peace for all our neighbors
“Interview” still presents / To tour the White House, hop the fence
Michelle, “Bring back our girls” / Ebola scare around the world
College playoff great for fans / King James back in his homeland
Jeter says farewell / No one catches like Odell
Stu Scott’s legacy / K.D.’s mom, MVP
Mo’Ne Davis came to play / Howard blocks for U.S.A.
Chorus:
Whoop! There it is! / We’re here for the kids
Raise the roof, don’t stop, don’t stop / Diamonds, up top, up top
Together, one family / Magic, the BJC
For the dreamers all year long / We Are! Penn State Strong
Verse 3: Culture
Did you know “apparently” / I’ve never been on live TV
Share a Coke with your friends / “How I Met Your Mother” ends
Venmo, name your price / Awareness builds, we dump ice
Genie, Doubtfire, Peter Pan / Robin’s off to Neverland
I know why the caged bird sings / Maya gains her wings
McConaughy, what a year / Adel Dazeem? Not here!
T. Swift pay to play / Starbucks lovers? What’d she say?
Bae, word of the year / Sia swings from chandeliers
(“1,2,3, 1,2,3, STRETCH / 1,2,3, 1,2,3, STRETCH”)
Crown yourself in Trivia Crack / Hurry up and play me back
iPhone 6 or iPad Air? / Bigger stage for Colbert
20 years for “Friends” crew / Watch them now on Netflix, too
Dance break coming up!
Dance Break Music
Chorus:
Whoop! There it is! / We’re here for the kids
Raise the roof, don’t stop, don’t stop / Diamonds, up top, up top
Together, one family / Magic, the BJC
For the dreamers all year long / We Are! Penn State Strong
Verse 4: THON
That BOOM BOOM atmosphere / Kicking cancer out of here
Look around, stands are packed / Woah! Where your diamonds at?
Run with us, far or near / THON store, almost here
Ent DJs mix it live / Hersheys Heroes fuel our drive
HONESTY – scream out loud / WISDOM – beyond the clouds
COURAGE – face the night / STRENGTH – find your light
Paint a face in the moon / Look closely and you’ll see yours, too
Dreams grow in these small hours / make them real, BE EMPOWERED!
