@rra2116 Pat, I love you. This is amazing, and you’re incredible!
@Anonymous Literally the best thing all semester…
@Dude... I’d see KeSho over Seacrest any day.
@Anonymous KE$HO!
@Anonymous This was an awesome video. References were right on.
But there were definitely some issues with the vocals… I’ve heard Uptown Vocal before and they sound good, so this is no insult to them. But maybe it would’ve helped to do another take or something… especially on the choruses with the male vocalists.
@Anonymous I have two finals today and I woke up with this song stuck in my head. However, instead of making me want to rip my own ears off in a fit of rage, it just keeps making me happy and optimistic about my finals. So thanks.
@Amirah Sequeira is a goddess! Lyrics + 3:10-3:11 = ‘nough said.
@Anonymous I realize this was posted a couple days ago, but I didn’t think it worthwhile to watch it until I got to this point trying to completely reorganize a 10-page paper when I should be studying for the two back-to-back information-heavy exams I have tomorrow, and I have to say it seriously made me feel a lot better and put a little Columbia pride into this direst of finals weeks. Thanks guys!
@Anonymous Exactly how I feel. I’m writing a 12-er right now and I have two finals tomorrow I haven’t studied for (oops). But this made me smile and made me happy to be at Columbia. We need more school spirit like this!
@Anonymous Its 5AM, I’m still working on this paper, but watching this video made me smile in a stupendous way and my spirit lift a few inches off the ground. Amazing work. THANK YOU Pat Blute and everyone involved for making this week all the more tolerable. From Kasia’s lovely singing to Aki’s split screen charm to Dean Shollenberger’s impeccable delivery, this was just excellent.
@lUV great job uv!!!
@Anonymous go columbia
@Anonymous Kev sho is my fav

@not a fan of the vocals… but loved ke$sho at the end!
@ecn2114 Ummm… INCREDIBLE!! I was so impressed.
@ecn2114 This was supposed to be in response to the comment abut Kasia, but I certainly feel this way about the entire episode/series. To Pat and all those involved, thanks so much :D
@WOW Kasia Borowiec’s singing at the end is SO GOOD! You go, Kash!!!!!
@senior not gonna lie, i was bawling by the end of this.
@I watch this And I realize there are people around me who wouldn’t get it – who don’t know who EKG is, what ‘Ke$ho’ means, what Amy meant to us, who the Spicy Special people are, or what shirts those CCO people were wearing…
…and I become SO grateful for all the amazing people I know here.
@KEV$SHO SO GOOD
@Bombed my CC final but this made me feel so much better! Thank you to all involved!
@Anonymous that was awesome and I never knew that I wasn’t the only one who thought, “not aki terasaki again…” hahahaha
@No! Aki is the BEST!!! And his name is so fun to say!
@In all seriousness I’ve been walking around all day singing “It’s Aki…Terasaki” at random times throughout the day.
@Legolas of the Woodland Realm CREBAIN, FROM DUNLAND!

@heart warmed
@Sean Walsh Omg Ke$ho calls himself Ke$ho. This is the best day of my life.
ALSO THIS IS THE BEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN.
@HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS?!?!!?!?!!?!!?!?!
@Nicole L. Love it. What a great way to end a series that definitely got me through the first part of finals week. Bravo!
@Anonymous I will never forget this video.
@Anonymous not a big fan about the quality of singing. the rest was great.
@Anonymous anon is jealous :(
@This was pretty much the “Heaven’s Gate” of Columbia Memes
@Anonymous thank you bwog
@Anonymous For a moment I thought I loved Columbia; then I realized, yes, I actually do. Forget the cynics, just get on campus, and dance! Good job, Pat. =]
@John Even with how much I hate a capella, that was still awesome.
@spicy special so kyoooot
@Anonymous This makes me so happy! Almost made me forget about how crappy my paper is…
@Liberace Even I thought that was too gay.
@Anonymous And by gay, you mean happy!
@Liberace *wink/jazz hands*
@Anonymous this was the best one! everyone did a great job! and i like that the administration played along so well. Schollenberger is so cool!
@In Butler 3 people around me watching this. It’s Finals Week!
This video is awesome guys. Thanks for making being here at 11:30 pm a lot less miserable.
@gay I love how flamboyant KevSho is!
@Anonymous Pride! yay
@Anonymous This was such a nice “feel good” production!
@Anonymous But also, let’s talk about how fucking cool those UV kids are.
@Anonymous FOR A MOMENT I STARTED LOVING COLUMBIA. Then I stopped.
@Underwhelming But still damn, that was a hell of a lot of school pride, and it made me smile. Love you guys.
@Let's be honest... This is the new school song.
@So much love Absolutely the best of the series! Some of the others had no focus and were too full of gimmicks, but this video makes me genuinely happy I’m at Columbia!
@Anonymous i’m confused. is this the last hardcore episode?
@Anonymous nevermind you fixed it.
@What does Pat Blute, Dean Shollenberger, and Aki Terasaki have in common?
@Anonymous An understanding of subject-verb agreement?
@3:16 was the best part of the whole series. I’m terrified.
@Anonymous This is the most school spirit this school has ever seen.
@Anonymous setting the bar kind of low there.
@Anonymous Better than not having a bar to begin with…just sayinnnn
@HOLY FUCKING SHIT MINDBLOWING.
