FUN FACT: The boys in the video (Minus "Samms"), were ACTUALLY students at Eastside High when Joe Clark was principal.and they confirmed that he REALLY made them sing in the bathroom!
Jessica Webb Yes, they were Riff first. They had a single called "If You're Serious" that I used to play all the time. Then, a few of the guys moved on to join Men of Vizion.
'' *Ooh Lord*....'' I love that part when the guy sings it!! Never judge a book by its cover!! These guys were mad talented!! On Key!! Even Joe knew it!!! One of my favorites scenes of this movie.
fair eastside, by thy side we'll stand and always praise thy name praise thy name praise thy name to heaven, yeah lend our hearts and hands to help increase thy fame oh lord the honor yeah, of old eastiside high brings forth our loyalty loyalty loyalty so cheer for dear old eastside high lead on to victory"
That is a great song, but the clip left out the best part of the scene! Joe Clark grinning at Mrs. Powers when he congratulates her and tells her "Take a bow Mrs. Powers, you've rewritten our Alma Mater!"
this makes me so happy ! being that i graduated from EHS and got the privilege of leading this song at my graduation c/o 2015 & last year's graduating c/o 2014 💜 'Once a ghosts Always a ghosts' 🎓👻 #TeamEastside #Paterson
Black, white, spanish or asian. Everyone should know this movie. I worked with a woman and she went to school when Joe Clark was teaching there in Paterson. Nobody could have done a better job than Morgan Freeman. Classic movie.
I love his reaction to the lead singer. Every time the lead singer is singing, he goes straight to him. He looks so shocked that they can sing. I genuinely feel his reaction to them singing is real and not acting.
I'm changing this to "By thy side I'll stand, and always praise thy name. To ever, lend my heart and hands to help increase their faith. The honor of Jesus Christ brings forth my loyalty." - Getting that small verse tattooed in cursive on my forearm. =]
I LOVE THIS MOVIE LEAN ON ME AND I LOVE PATTERSON NEW JERSEY I USE TO GO ALL THE TIME WHEN I STAYED IN JERSEY THAT IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE MOVIE THE BATHROOM SONG
"fair eastside, by thy side we'll stand and always praise thy name praise thy name praise thy name to heaven, yeah lend our hearts and hands to help increase thy fame oh lord the honor yeah, of old eastiside high brings forth our loyalty loyalty loyalty so cheer for dear old eastside high lead on to victory" All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. Get on that train.
lmbao, I love this movie, the way he walks so close to them and look at their faces, its almost he couldnt believe these beautiful voices are coming from their mouths.
