Stovall says:
There has been plenty to spoof this year, and the show is hilarious. I know because I am in the cast. For instance, one of the songs we're doing this year is called Jailhouse Rocky Top, sung to the tune of Jailhouse Rock. Here's an excerpt from the script:
JAILHOUSE ROCKY TOP
(Tune: Jailhouse Rock)
Ernie:
The Vols had a pep rally in the county jail, Half the team was there except those who made bail.
Clint:
The fans wore orange in a prison shade,
You shoulda heard the riot when the pep band played.
Chorus:
(Ernie, Clint, Megan, Kristina, David, Michael H., Alan) They rocked! Everybody, they rocked!
Everybody in the whole cellblock
Was singin' "Jailhouse Rocky Top."
Ernie:
The Sheriff said to Fulmer, "I apologize "That circumstances led us to arrest your guys."
Clint:
Fulmer said, "Don't worry, Sheriff, that's all right.
"At least I know where they are tonight."
Repeat Chorus
