Classic.

I thought "I dreamt I kicked a cat into a cold norwegian fjord, but then it swam back up again in the arms of a French Bird" was brilliant.

Happy Days

I'm just gettin reminiscent and thinkin, does anyone else remember Chris the RA's song from, what 3/4 years ago? And Dermot's adaptation of Christy Moore "I said goodbye to the canteen orange juice, to the mouldy rolls and bread, to the seven thirty wake up call, and Sean seeing red......"
Anyone???
Cos if there was to be an all-time CTYI cd, rather than just a yearly compilation, those songs would have to be on it!

both were on the cd that was given out that year. i'm sure i have it somewhere, just to let you know, if you get around to logging on again before you arrive back

10 minutes of solid moshing and head-banging...I was hoping we'd get that again.

And in answer to Flashling, everything on RefulgentGnomon's list is played at every disco and about half of them have been played at every disco for at least three years.

Matthewthebig

too right. That song should be instated as a last disco neccessity

Shoeless Ailbhe

I have that cd actually, just a metter of finding it, and the small obstacle of me being in Singapore at the moment... but I'll be home Friday so can get it then.... It was a classic song. I'd completely forgotten about Rory and the norweigan fjord! How funny was that!

Purple Hayes

Yes al we do have it... i decided to put mozz thru the torture of my own ctyi compilation on the way home from dcu... she was spontaneously bursting into tears every five minutes!

Btw, this be orla on mozz's. Ah familial connections!

And do you remember the table quiz with the spot prize for the best story about rory and the cat? Me and kermit made a kick-ass story including fishnets and frolicking in the moonlight... those cadbury's roses were a worthy prize!

yeah Podge, i dunno, it was you whose S&M I saw - or at least you were carrying it!.. Those were indeed the days...

I think I have the sesh 2, '02 Disc around the place somewhere, that'd have the lyrics on it, if i was arsed to transcribe them. Though remembering what a ledgend song it was, I may well do it!.. Poor cat...

"...It's goodbye to the canteen orange juice, and the mouldy loaves of bread, the 7:30 wakeup calls, and the RAs seeing red..."

On the risk of bring the thread back to the thing it was intended for:

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Gay Bar - Electric Six
Street Spirit - Radiohead
American Pie - Don McLean
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
Everybody - Backstreet Boys

And Feargal seeing red? Sesh2 might be different though.

I got it!

DELERIUM TREMENS CTYi

Verse 1:
I dreamt a dream the other night, I couldn't sleep a wink
The lights were out at half past ten and the lamp was in the sink.
There were footsteps in the courtyard, and RA's on the stairs,
With pebbles on the window, and evil Rory glares.
I looked out from under the blanket and up at my roommate,
that was when I felt the urge to go and masticate.
And suddenly I realised my roommate was quite mad,
When he started leaning over me and stroknig at his... notepad...

CHORUS:
Goodbye to the canteen orange, to the mouldy rolls and bread,
To the 7.30 wake-up call and Feargal seeing red.
As I sat looking up at the instructor, I could never figure out
Why the hell I chose the course and what yer wan was on about.

Verse 2:
I dreamt of a blond American inside the closet door,
Caught in a compromising position upon the bathroom floor.
I dreamt of a cool as s**t kid, with women by the score,
And space cadets and wannabe Goths and geniuses galore.
I dreamt Eoin Campbell was arrested for crimes against fashion,
White hair, green shirt, blue jeans, red shoes and bandanas that were clashin',
I dreamt I kicked a cat into a cold Norwegian fjord,
And then it swam back up again in the arms of a French bird...

Verse 3:
I was in ecstasy in boardgames, and the RA gave me hell
I was wearing the face off me girlfriend, and her best mate aswell,
Our group was on minus points in the scorin competition,
So our RA sent us out on a hot'n'heavy mission.
We sprayed on 483 cans of Lynx and headed for the women,
But they were having none of it and we had to wash it off in swimmin'
I dreamt of Adam Buckeridge and Willia Bartely too,
The things that we got up to, but I'm not gonna tell you,
Then I dreamt I was in a jacuzzi, along with Feargal Close, ,
And then I realised I'd had a CTYI overdose...

As it appears in the CTYIzens newsletter from sesh1 '02, with all ellipses reduced to three points.

Possibly a few from the Karaoke night and talent show.. like the one my RA group sang (Roisins group)

Something by the Killers? They always played them in the canteen

That's all I can think of

Were you session 1 last year when they played jet plane in the quad? It was so sad

Shiney

they played it in the quad on the last night after the disco in session 2 last year and so many people burst into tears. it was heart breaking

Outcast

Our quad time was such a let down. Willim and Connor played elctric guitar for a while (electric on the last night? not natural). Then a group sang Hallelujah and then the RA's did their Hallelujah and that was it

the_only_Ali

In fairness, it was freezing cold and pretty wet, if the weather had been better I'd say it would have been different. And anyway, Hallelujah's always great for those occasions. Go James Gough and his amazing rendition of the jeff buckley version.
Holly, since you were the one who started this, do you have/remember the words for the Writing for Life CTYI/YMCA song? Now THAT was funny... and terrible, all at once. Then again, it was written very early in the morning while we were sitting in a sink.
Oh, the song Ellie sang at the talent show, Autumn Leaves- use the Eva Cassidy version if you're making a CTYI CD, Ellie sounds scarily like her.

RefulgentGnomon

That CTYI/YMCA song was class. I remember taking the words home with me but I don't know where to start looking...

Yeah, I was Session 1 in '04 and '03, this year I was Session 2. Who are you?

doonothing

i could probably remember the lyrics from my head...

young kid, i was once in your shoes,
i said young kid, i was getting the blues because school was
just too easy for me thats why i came to c-t-y-i
you may be asking my why, its cos i came here,
to get more knowledge, thats why im here-at-this-coll-ege

*thrustthrustthrustthrust*

etc... i cant remember much more

great memories though

Awayindahils

here are the words

young kid
i was onc ein your shoes
i said young kid
i was getting the blues
becuase school was
just too easy for me so i
had to up and leave

i came here
to CTYI
you may be
asking me why
its cuase i came here
to get more knowlegde
thats why im here at this college

chorus
its fun to stay at
CTYI
its fun to stay at
CTYI-I
you can have a crap me
it is really the ****
you can get e-coli from it

young kid
now you listen to me
i said ill tell you
what the place is to be
but theres a small chance
of being killed cause they do
so many damn fire drills

on thursday
its like apocalypse now
but you'll be spared
and i'll tell you how
without a bathrobe
you'll surely be dead
but don't forget the thong for your head

chorus
its fun to stay at
CTYI
its fun to stay at
CTYI-I
if you don't get a point
you can get out of this joint
so you'd better start sucking face

pigeon
its what you get for tea
it's not quite dead
as i'm sure you can see
however bad
the thing that made me so fazed
was the juice with mayonaise

the campus
is addicted to jolt
if you steal it
we will start a revolt
with the caffine
you just can't keep us down
we're gonna burn res to the ground.

chorus
its fun to stay at
CTYI
its fun to stay at
CTYI-I
our parents are gald we're here
the only thing they fear
is that they'll have to fork out
next year

fade out whilst singing ctyi chorus

What about 'By the Way' by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. That hasn't gotten a mention. And Piano Man, for anyone at the Session 2 Talent Show in '03. And 'Love Will Tear Us Apart Again', by Joy Division.
