Pierce plays jingle

  Composed by: Unknown  -  First heard: "Advanced Criminal Law"



In the Study group's first year together, Pierce convinced Annie to let him write Greendale's new school song by claiming to have written his company Hawthorne Wipes jingle. When the deadline approached and he was unable to come up with a song he admitted to Annie that he plagiarized the jingle. It was actually the song "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain ". In the study group's third year at school, Dean Pelton sang the song while playing with his toy trains inside of his office. "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" was first heard in the Season One episode "Advanced Criminal Law". It was later heard again in the Season Three episode "Origins of Vampire Mythology".
