Tyra for Yardfest (and Other Modest Proposals)

It's pretty clear that if the College Events Board cancels Tyga as this year's Yardfest performer, the chances of finding a suitable and affordable replacement for the rapper between now and April 15 are slim to none.

But fear not! Flyby's come up with a list of some celebs who maybe, if we asked nicely enough, just might agree to come yell slurs at Harvard students on a Saturday afternoon in the near future.

If the troubadour featured in this gem of a music video would please step up, we might just have ourselves a Yardfest artist few Harvard students could reasonably take issue with.

The Soundtrack to "Love Story in Harvard"

Apparently there was this show in Korea about two Harvard Law School students who fall in love with a Harvard Medical School student and proceed to fight over her. The theme song is pretty catchy, no? If all else fails, the CEB could just blast this soundtrack over loudspeakers in the Yard while we all cry over our absent love lives/how bad the songs are.

Glozell and Jenna Marbles — Sure, they're not technically musicians, but the comedians did show oodles of Harvard pride in "Rewind YouTube Style" last December. And they're funny! Call us maybe?

Tyra Banks — Again, not a "real" musician (is Tyga?), but that hasn't stopped Tyra in the past (see: Life Size's "Be a Star").

Reasons this would be a win-win:

1) A Tyra performance would be perfect for those nine students who have already made their Tyga fan signs, and for the CEB which—let's be real—has definitely already made Tyga t-shirts. This way, they could change the "g" to an "r," or just do nothing and pretend they made an embarrassing typo (and not an embarrassingly bad judgment call on Harvard students' music taste and social consciousness.)

2) Tyra LOVES any opportunity to come back to Harvard, the school she "graduated" from in 2012.

If we hashtag it #HBSReunion, she will come.
