The Iowa fight song has been playing in a vacant Niagara Falls building for 6 months and no one knows why

UPDATE: There is video.

Have you ever had annoying neighbors that play their music too loud? You probably have. Those annoying neighbors probably liked to play the same songs over and over again.

When I was a freshman in college, the kid who lived in the dorm room next to me played Jermaine Dupri and Jay-Z’s “Money Ain’t A Thang” and Maroon Five’s “This Love” back to back for an entire semester. It was as excruciating as it was inexplicable, and in retrospect, it was just about as viciously 2004 as a two-song playlist could be.

In similarly inexplicable fashion, someone in Niagara Falls is playing the Iowa fight song on repeat every night out of a vacant building. This has been happening every night for roughly five or six hours for the past six months. That’s the kind of consistency and dogged determination one has come to expect from something Hawkeye-related. It’s the sonic equivalent of running inside zone every play for a decade-plus.

We live in a strange world full of wonders.
