Sometimes, it’s hard for Princetonians to relate to the average college experience. Phrases like “credit hours,” “middle class,” and “Abercrombie & Fitch” are foreign to our ears. Thank God for Eric Vreeland ‘10, who has taken upon himself to reinterpret the state school experience for us.
You see, Vreeland has performed an act of community service–a random act of kindness, if you will–by remaking Asher Roth’s terrible/amazing frat-tastic “I Love College.” With shout-outs to Old Nassau and, thank goodness, fewer public school references, Vreeland’s version is entitled “I Love Princeton.”
Or maybe you’ll have a different opinion. Maybe you’ll think that–kind of like the swine flu pandemic–the national scourge that is the suburban white boy rap has finally hit Princeton.
Take a listen. You will (not) regret it:

I don’t mean to diss Vreeland or this post, but the phenomonon has hit Princeton before. I think in 2001 or so, someone made a Princeton-specific version of Will Smith’s “Miami.” Unfortunately I forget the kid’s name, Dave something, but I can send you the mp3 if you want to post it.
I think he also made a song dissing one of his profs or someone in West College, which brought some warnings, but I never got that track. Too bad.
