"James Brown is Dead" is a song on the Lancaster Canon during which many break out the glowsticks and begin raving. String raving is also popular.

During LAN.05.2(and 1?) there was a vote as to whether to keep it on the Canon. The ballot for the vote also contained a question about whether to put Tunak Tunak Tun on the Canon. There was some confusion as to whether both Tunak Tunak Tun and James Brown Is Dead were competing for the same spot, and some students who wanted to see Tunak on the Canon thought that they had to vote against keeping James Brown Is Dead. Despite this, more than half the student body voted to keep James Brown Is Dead (and to add Tunak Tunak Tun).

There is supposedly some very intersting history (which I know little about) as to why it was subjected to a vote.

For some history, see [1]
