If football season was here, I bet you would here this a lot in the tailgate lot. In an ironic way of course.

70 and sunny in Des Moines. About as perfect as a Friday gets. Can't even imagine how awesome it must be in Ames. #Hooray!
People with video editing skills could have a lot of fun with this. Riot footage and this video would go together nice.
Rumor has it that the University of Iowa is going to play the video on their jumbo-tron when we take the field at Kinnick.
This thing is an affront to humanity. The only positive thing that could come out of it is that Christians, Muslims, and Jewish people all come together in a rare moment of harmony to denounce the atrocity of....Hooray for Ames.
I blame the OP of this thread. It should have just gotten buried to the bottom of the internet.
Going back and listening to the song again, I began to hear the true radio potential that could connect to this generation.. So I did what any rational person would do, I sat down with some beer and chopped and screwed it.

To make things worse... according to this article...
ISU was using it to recruit faculty .....
"The short answer is that the internet-at-large was not the intended audience. It wasn’t part of a campaign to make everyone in America realize Ames has nice water and no race wars and it also wasn’t created by undercover University of Iowa grads to make to Cyclones look bad.
The video was commissioned by Iowa State University’s Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost to highlight things that might attract potential faculty to ISU. Low crime, short commute, good schools and clean water were some of the ideas the school wanted to stress to this very specific market."

After the Elvis Duran show mentioned it (they mistakenly said it was about Iowa as a State) they played a clip
about a Cleveland tourism video which was not a positive message. Here is main one, they made an 2nd one.
