- “Dancing in your underwear, taking air conditioner repair...so you can get a job!”— Pierce
In the Season One episode "Advanced Criminal Law", Annie is head of the school committee tasked with writing a new school song. The debut of the song is to coincide with the unveiling of the Luis Guzman statue dedicated to Greendale's most famous alumni. Pierce volunteers for the task, claiming to be a great composer. Annie convinces Dean Pelton that he is the right one for the job, but it turns out Pierce overstated his musical abilities and makes very little progress on the song as the deadline quickly approaches. Annie sees him struggling and offers words of encouragement which ends up inspiring him to finish the song. Unfortunately, when he debuts the song at the statues unveiling ceremony, it becomes obvious to the audience that it's a rip-off of Bruce Hornsby's classic song "The Way It Is".

Waiting for the bell to chime
So you can go to class
Dancing in your underwear
Taking air conditioner repair
So you can get a job
Greendale's the way it goes
Some things are still the same
Slop pails and pantyhose
Oh, Annie believes in me...Fanvid by krishandamani
TriviaEdit
On January 18, 1992, Chevy Chase hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live, and the musical guests were Robbie Roberston and Bruce Hornsby.
