The Hymn is usually sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and at Skule™ it is typically sang at every appearance of the Mighty [[Skule Cannon]], whereupon the Cannon is fired at the conclusion of the Hymn. After the Cannon firing, students at Skule™ usually break out into the [[Skule Yell]]. At Christmas time, the [[Lady Godiva Memorial Bnad]] has been known to sing the song to the tune of Good King Wenceslas. | The Hymn is usually sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and at Skule™ it is typically sang at every appearance of the Mighty [[Skule Cannon]], whereupon the Cannon is fired at the conclusion of the Hymn.

While the Hymn has many verses, it is unusual for students to sing more than the typical 2-3 standard verses commemorating Lady Godiva, or, during [[F!rosh Week]], the additional verses poking fun at other faculties. Many old verses of the song, particularly the off-colour verses, have been deprecated and are rarely remembered, much less heard, on campus. During [[Godiva Week]] at Skule™, many [[Godiva's Crown]] competitors have been known to show off their mastery in memorizing obscure verses, and many have invented their own. <p> | While the Hymn has many verses, it is unusual for students to sing more than the typical 2-3 standard verses commemorating Lady Godiva, or, during [[F!rosh Week]], the additional verses poking fun at other faculties.
