KYR Theme Song
LOCAL SINGER-SONGWRITER BRANDON KIERDORF of the band Narwhals Collide has written a KYR theme song. It is bouncy and upbeat--mp3 available soon. Y. is in awe of creative local folk who can craft something so inspiring and fun. When weary from petitioning, the thought that this kind gentleman has actually written a KYR song makes me perk up and keep goin'. Kudos to Mr. K. The lyrics (as yet incomplete):
Keep Ypsi Rollin' Theme Song (partial)
Keep Ypsi rollin'
Keep the people flowin'
to work and to school
and all the places they're goin'
Mass transit for the masses
gets us to work and to classes
to the mall or downtown
then back home where we cash in
________________________________
I take the number three
down the HRD
to get to my classes
at WCC
Don't mean to be surly
the three already stops early
ain't trying to be a grumpy Gus
just trying to get around
Old West Side to Depot Town
and I've been riding the Ride longer than the school bus
_____________________________________
I take the number four
down Washtenaw
'cause it always makes a stop
at the Arborland Mall
________________________________________
I take the number five
it keeps me alive
because it goes from where I work
to where I reside

I take the Number Six
Out among the southern sticks
to the Re-Use Center
with its lovely bag of tricks

I hop the Number Ten
as a Township denizen,
Cruise through Depot Town and eastwards,
It's my daily regimen.
