Musical satirist Tom Lehrer spoofed "The Whiffenpoof Song" as part of his song "Bright College Days." Lehrer, an instructor at Yale's traditional rival Harvard University, sings of "glasses raised on high" (at which point he removes his eyeglasses and holds them up) and of drinking a toast "to those we love the best", to rhyme with "we'll pass may mean 'pass the final exams' or 'die' and be forgotten with the rest." He also sings "to the tables down at Mory's, wherever "that" may be...", evoking a laugh from the Harvard auditorium crowd at the live recording.
