The Rebel Black Dot Songs of History Quiz Night

Project MERCATOR: The History of History Quiz Night '15, in Song
Queen, "We Will Rock You" from Greatest Hits (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Round 2 ended as Round 1 had, with the Misty Beavers as the highest-scoring team, fourteen out of eighteen correct, compared to twelve for the next-highest team. We entered Round 3 with a three-point lead. In 2013, the year I joined the Misty Beavers, at the invitation of Red Patton, we finished tied for second, but we could have won, we should have won, had I but been on my game. (I owe Red Patton an irredeemable debt for my failure to rise to the occasion.) In 2014, my third victory & the Misty Beavers' first, we came from behind to seize the brass ring; we had a perfect score in Round 3 to claim victory. Never before had we so dominated the quiz, though Red Patton would be the first to point out that we've always won "the fun."

Last year, as we claimed victory, we broke into a boisterous if confusingly random chant of "Four more years! Four more years!" This year, as our momentum started to build, once again the cry arose, "Four more years! Four more years!" 'Tis a challenge to all who hear, a declaration that we're coming,we aim to win, & we might just be mad as hatters. "Four more years! Four more years!" 'Tis a chant of defiance, a chant of unbridled enthusiasm. We drink, we shout, we laugh—we crow! We are the Misty Beavers & when you hear us chanting like madmen, you know that we are having more fun than you. You could be having fun with us, you're more than welcome to join in, but you're scared to have as much fun as we are. We're having more fun than you & we're beating you at the quiz, too. "Four more years! Four more beers! Four more years"

We're going to win, we know it & you know it.
