In honor of Wendy Kopp, the cast of High School Musical has revamped their hit song “Bop to the Top.” Here is a sample of the lyrics:
[Sharpay:]
I believe in dreaming
And shooting for the stars
[Ryan:]
Baby to be number one
You got to raise the bar
[Sharpay:]
Kicking and a scratching
Grinding out my best
[Ryan:]
Anything it takes to climb
The ladder of success
[Both:]
Work our tails off everyday
Gotta bump the competition
Blow them all away
[Ryan:]
With KIPP
[Sharpay:]
We’ll whip
[Sharpay:]
All the other schools…
as their scores slip.
[Both:]
Kopp Kopp Kopp, Kopp to the top
Slip and slide and ride that rhythm
Til you can beat the pack
and intern at Goldman Sachs!
