Constance Fry?


I'm watching it just now on Italia1 for the... nth time (they show it every Christmas Eve - and it'll never bore!).
So, the song they sing at the Tennis Club:

Zeta Ki...
blah blah
...
Constance on the make.

Constance Fry, Constance Fry
Anytime you call
Constance will fulfill your needs
Winter, spring, or fall

In short, they're calling the poor Constance an easy girl (to be polite), right?

Not only her. The entire song is about those guys "doing" those girls. And yes, it's totally hilarious, considering the situation.

I found this little snippet hanging around the web. The entire lyrics to the Constance Fry used in the movie. Though only the first four and last seven lines was heard on screen. So, I guess it's from the script to the film.

But read that text and tell me now it's not about doing the nasty? It's just because the lyrics are juxtaposed with that preppy Ivy League setting the meaning of the words don't make it through. Because the audience simply can't believe what they hear. And that's why it's so funny, and that's why it's such a fantastic little gem of a scene. Those guys, singing about doing those girls. And Constance Fry in particular.



CONSTANCE FRY
Tune: Aura Lee/Love me tender (or very similar)

Zeta Chi, Zeta Chi,Zeta Chi my friend;
'neath the elms we sing our tones –
We're brothers to the end.

We like Sigma kappa girls
They're our number ones.
Bobby sox and lovely curls,
And such lovely 'buns'.

Lovely buns, lovely buns, Held so firm and high.
If you're thinking doughy buns,
You're not Zeta chi.

Some want their girls full of zest,
Some like breasts and thighs.
I like rounded curves the best,
Just like Constance Fry's.

Constance Fry, Constance Fry, Full of Rubens' charms.
Smile to cheer me, softly sigh,
Take me in your arms.

Muffy in the bathroom stall,
Margaret by the lake.
Susan down in Whitley Hall,
Constance on the make.

Constance Fry, Constance Fry, anytime you call.
Constance would fulfil, your needs –
Winter, Spring or Fall.

I don't know if this is what the guy who got deleted said, but I say it's about ****ing, or want to ****, at Harvard!

The original tune is called "Aura Lee." Get it? Run it over your tongue a few times and you will!

Thats awesome. i never really bothered to look that one up, but its great to have full context after 30-some years.

Please nest your IMDB page, and respond to the correct person -

Haha. That song was a total jab at Ivy League a capella groups.

And it showed how slutty "proper" girls can be lol.

Movies just don't have scenes like that anymore. The plot just stops for that bit of great humour about no one important to the story.

What it boils down to is if you tell a girl she is loose, that's insulting. But if you serenade it to her, that's romantic.
