UO locations seen in the video include Walton Complex (Housing), Lillis Business Complex, Knight Library, Johnson Hall, Hayward Field, Gerlinger Hall, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, and the Memorial Quadrangle. For more information about these locations, explore the interactive campus map, take the virtual tour, and visit The Architecture of the University of Oregon: History, Bibliography, and Research Guide by Ed Teague.

The lyrics to “call Me A Duck” are set to the tune “All Of The Above.” Here is the original, by Maino:

According to the wikipedia entry for Maino’s “All Of The Above”, the Auburn Tigers football team used this as their official intro song during the 2009 season, and still play it during games. I wonder how they will like it if “Call Me A Duck” runs on the Jumbotron during the 2011 BCS National Championship game? On the Rocks has covered the original song also.  Here is a performance from the EMU Fishbowl, which film connoisseurs will recognize as the location for the food-fight scene in Animal House.
