Oski Yell
The Oski Yell is the University of California Berkeley spirit yell from which the school’s mascot, Oski the Bear, derives his name. Although Oski appeared in 1941, the yell was first performed around the turn of the 20th century. The yell's origins are uncertain, although the University of Illinois originated a similar yell in 1899 (with a different last line). Another early version is credited to Vince Wirtz, who led a similar cheer beginning in the 1920s at football games for Hamilton, Ontario teams. Lyrics Berkeley's lyrics are: : ''Oski Wow-Wow!'' : ''Whiskey Wee-Wee!'' : ''Olee! Muckie-eye!'' : ''Olee! Berkeley-eye!'' : ''California! Wow!'' The Oski Yell is currently rarely heard in the stands, its function overtaken by spirit songs such as "Big C," " Fight for California," and "Sons of California." It can still be heard thundering from the Greek Theatre on Friday nights before the Big Game at the annual Big Game Rally. Oskee Wee Wee The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadia ...
