Iowa '78 Reunion - "Disco" Iowa Fight Song

This is our group from the University of Iowa in the mid to late 1970's. We lived mostly on the east side of the campus and knew each other through our dorms (Daum and Burge), student government, and ridiculous parties. After 30 years, we held a reunion in Iowa City. I promise you, it won't be 30 years before we get together again.

This is AWESOME that someone posted it! It was produced by KRNA Co-owner/ Operations Manager/ Head Scientist Rob Norton and the late Meredith Wilson ("The Music Man," etc.) It was sold as a fundraiser. I was the FIRST DJ on KRNA... EVER!!! Ed. "Ed the Red" Rodriguez

PS- The KRNA call sign really does stand for "Kiss Robbie Norton's A--"

@ERodWMZQ I knew Rob Norton...at the time I was working for Gene Claussen at KXIC. I also remember the mild controversy caused by the campaign to introduce this song as "the new Iowa fight song." Hilarious!

Where did you get that song?

[ldan1234]

This is called "Fight Song 80". It was created by radio station KRNA and promoted as the new Iowa fight song. Google fight song 80 and you should find it...

KRNA played disco music? WTF?!
