The Iowa Fight Song and the Los Angeles Coliseum in ... a porn video

May. 31, 2012 12:32 pm
This week, the Los Angeles Times reported the historic taxpayer-owned Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was used in 2001 for the filming of a hardcore pornographic video.
That's bizarre enough. But it gets weirder.
A piece of music used in the video is a carnival-sounding version of the Iowa Fight Song.
Deadspin.com has a clip of the movie with the fight song playing here. Not to worry, it's a porn-free excerpt.
While Los Angelenos wonder how in the world an adult film crew gained permission to film in the Coliseum, and anyone would ask why this story is coming to light 11 years later, we in Iowa must ask this:
Why the Iowa fight song?
Someone else can research and report that, thanks.
