The Hymn is usually sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", and at Skule™ it is typically sung 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 sung 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 highly unusual for students to sing more than the chorus commemorating Lady Godiva. Historically, during [[F!rosh Week]], additional verses have been used to poke fun at other faculties. Many old verses of the song have fallen out of popular use due to off-colour language and antiquated ideas. These verses no longer reflect engineering culture; in recent years students have become much more conscious of the effect of language, particularly in cheers and yells. | While the Hymn has many verses, it is highly unusual for students to sing more than the chorus commemorating Lady Godiva.

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. Students have also asked for verses to be invented at other Skule™ events, particularly as part of the [[Havenger Scunt]]. | 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.
