Does BYU actually have a school song if you don't count Come, Come Ye Saints? I mean, I can still remember the words to Utah Man. The new Utah Man lyrics go:

I am a Utah Fan, sir, and I live across the green,
Our gang it is the jolliest that you have ever seen.

But what of BYU? Surely they deserve some worthy song. Don't worry, I've come up with a suitable alternative.

Alternative BYU Song
If you're going to Provo, Utah
Be sure to wear a halo in your hair
If you're going to Provo, Utah
You're gonna meet some peculiar people there

For those who come to Provo, Utah
Campus life will be quite boring there
In the streets of Provo, Utah
Peculiar people with halos in their hair

All across the campus
Such a strange sensation
Bright ties and Jell-O
There's a Lamanite generation
With an apologetic explanation
Bright ties and Jell-O
Bright ties and Jell-O

For those who come to Provo, Utah
Be sure to wear a halo in your hair
If you come to Provo, Utah
Campus life will be quite boring there
If you come to Provo, Utah
Campus life will be quite boring there

I have no idea what musical term is correct, but I would say the... cadence?... of the lyrics matches the original quite well.

I thought the Bright ties and Jell-O line was quite expressive.

I envision some BYU student finding out that the original song was entitled San Francisco and replying, "How yucky!" That sentiment would be echoed by yet another BYU student adding, "fer sure".
