Move over, Zombie Nation -- a new song is raring to take on Beaver Stadium.

Xavia Lynch (junior-management science and information systems) has produced a new "up-tempo" track dedicated to uniting the university, and he thinks it's time for Penn State to adopt a new theme song.

"It begins with a lot of piano chords, and the melody keeps building. Then there is a bridge with a cowbell, and I added the lion roar," Lynch said. "I did my best to make it feel like a Penn State track."

Xavia's friend Ladi Ositelu (senior-electrical engineering) said the track is a great sample of Penn State.

"I think it's a pretty good track. It's got a lot of hype and it has a lot of Penn State in it," Ositelu said.

Guido D'Elia, director of communications for Penn State football, said about two or three submissions are received a week.

Though a group of people listen to everything sent in, D'Elia said he could not remember this particular song.

"This is a process we take very seriously," D'Elia said. "[The song] is not out of the realm of possibility."

Lynch is not a music major, but he said his real passion is music. Growing up, he became enthralled with music in church. Eventually, he taught himself to play the piano by using his ears.

"As a little boy in Jamaica, I was drawn to the musicians in church. I was fascinated with how the keyboardist and the lead singer connected, how the drummer and bass player accompanied the keyboardist, all working together like a team," Lynch said. "From listening to all types of music, and studying on my own, I was able to teach myself how to play the piano."

The inspiration for the track came from Lynch's desire to be a part of the Penn State community, especially Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, since he is not a member of the greek society.

"I wanted to create something that everyone could dance to. I took it to a radio station and was persuaded to make improvements. I hope for it to be used at next year's Thon and eventually the football games," Lynch said.

Ositelu said the track is one he feels everyone will enjoy and get into.

"I definitely think people will like it and feel it. It has a lot of potential to play at football games and Thon. I could see it becoming a new Penn State fight song," Ositelu said.

Lynch's ultimate hope is that this track will bring people together. "It is a track that brings unity. It's something that everyone can dance ... We are all here for one purpose. We say that we are Penn State, which means we are one. That's what this track is about," Lynch said.

Lynch said the track still needs voices of Penn State students cheering. He is looking for students who are willing to put their school spirit to the test.

He also said a lot of students have talent they don't use -- with this track he hopes to encourage others to follow their dreams and use their talents.

"I encourage all students to do what they can. Do something different," Lynch said.
