Rice vs. A&M (Oct. 22, 1994)
FORMATION: M O B
ANNOUNCER: It's election time again, and the same old politicians are
saying the same old things, making promises as outrageous
as turning mercury into gold. But now the MOB presents an
alternative -- vote for us! We have fresh, new ideas
guaranteed to get America moving again. If you're tired of
government, you're ready for MOB Rule.
MUSIC: Dragnet (intro only)
FORMATION: Police Car
ANNOUNCER: Politicians say they they're "tough on crime." Under MOB
Rule, we can do better: our plan will eliminate crime
completely by making everything legal. You won't go to
jail -- you won't even get probation. You'll be able to
get away with anything -- just like Longhorn wide receivers.
MUSIC: Back In The USSR
ACTION: An orange car (with fire extinguisher exhaust) careens
around the field until it collides with a store facade.
Police attempt to arrest football player in car, but decide
to let him go.
FORMATION: "Not" Symbol
ANNOUNCER: Today, people are worried about endangered species like
spotted owls, killdeer, and candidates who campaign on
issues. Under MOB Rule, we believe in extinction. We
would eliminate those things which should be extinct, like
congressmen, the IRS, and Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl.
MUSIC: Wipeout
ACTION: People in suits holding screws that say "IRS" strike others
with them. People holding "Vote For Me" signs go
campaigning. Some folks in MOB uniform shoot the IRS folks
and politicians. At the drum break, MOB does the
traditional "Wipeout" swim-dance.
FORMATION: Bottle (with Worm inside) and Glass
ANNOUNCER: Once again, the US military is on the job invading yet
another petty dictatorship. Under MOB Rule, we'd establish
limits on military action: from now on, we only invade
countries with tropical beaches where the natives speak
English. Isn't it time we brought freedom to Hawaii?
MUSIC: Tequila
ACTION: Some people in military garb march up to people lounging in
lawn chairs, and they start to party with large tropical
drinks. In the formation, part of the band "pours" from
bottle to cup, followed by the Worm (Chinese-dragon style).
FORMATION: Y M C A (MOB sits or crouches)
ANNOUNCER: Finally, everyone is talking term limits, but last week the
Owls did something about it -- we said 28 years was enough
and Rice beat Texas! Under MOB Rule, we'd offer the
Longhorns a chance to win by playing a team they sometimes
beat 100 years ago...
ANNOUNCER: Gimme a "Y"! MOB: Y
ANNOUNCER: Gimme a "M"! MOB: M
ANNOUNCER: Gimme a "C"! MOB: C
ANNOUNCER: Gimme a "A"! MOB: A
MUSIC: YMCA
ACTION: During spellout, band members in each letter spring up.
People dressed in Village People garb spread out below
letters and do the YMCA dance routine.
FORMATION: scatter off field
ANNOUNCER: There you have it, the official MOB Rule platform. On
Election Day, remember to vote early, vote often, and vote
in pencil so we can correct your mistakes.
