An exclamation point can be inserted within parentheses to emphasize a word within a sentence. We have some really(!) cool tattoos on sale this week. Note that there is no space between the last letter of the word so emphasized and the parentheses. This device should be used rarely, if ever, in formal text.
Iowa Fight Song. The Iowa Fight Song is one of three fight songs currently used by the University of Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band along with On Iowa and Roll Along Iowa. The music and lyrics were written by Iowa native Meredith Willson, author of The Music Man, in 1951.
For instance, Battle Hymn was written using an old folk tune, âJohn Brownâs Bodyâ, for the melody. Before that, it was âCanaanâs Happy Shoreâ, and âBrothers Will You Meet Meâ. She was requested to write new lyrics, to give fighting men a marching song to stir patriotism. Thatâs just barely scratching the surface.
