Massive releases a Fergalicous parody

On a rainy Wednesday, I found mascot Fergus the Ram rapping in Massey’s music studios. The beat sounded oddly familiar, but the lyrics weren’t...  

“I'm the F to the E-R-G, the U, the S, and I’m the sheep living with no regrets.” 

Two weeks later, I walked into the Massive office and caught Fergus dancing with a crew of Massey film students recording him. He was throwing condoms everywhere singing,  

“I’m so delicious – I'm hot, hot” 

“I’m so ferocious – They want this paddock mate” 

“I’m so glamorous – I'm hot and heavy real estate” 

“I’m Fergalicous”  

Sheep that oddly looked like socks were dancing with Fergus while I frantically picked up condoms. I yelled over Fergus’ singing, “What are you doing?!” 

He looked sorrowful for a moment, tears building in his green eyes. He told me that the other day he visited Massey’s Albany campus, and someone didn’t know who he was. They didn’t even know Massey had a mascot.  

Fergus’ ego was hurt. His reach was smaller than he expected. But rather than moping, he made a choice. The choice to tell all Massey students who he is. And so, the Fergalicous parody (or what Fergus called a ‘revolutionary recreation’) was created.  

You can listen to it now on Massive’s social media or YouTube, or on @SomethingWithDinosaurs on YouTube.  

A special thanks to students, Mary Maughan and Theo Melville, for filming and editing the music video. To Oscar Alty and Jane Dyson for recording the song. And to Matt Crawford for being the Fergus of our dreams.
