At this point you’ve heard it for the thousandth time on the radio or over and over again at a party, there’s no escaping one of the hits of the year.

“Tick Tock, on the clock. But the party don’t stop no. Woah-oh oh oh, Woah-oh oh oh.”

And if you’;ve ever been within earshot of the baseball team’;s locker room, you would also be all too familiar with the lyrics as Penn State turns up the iPod and blasts the song after every win.

However, unlike the singer of the party anthem, there was no waking up feeling like P. Diddy and there was no brushing of their teeth with a bottle of Jack (figuratively speaking, of course) for the Nittany Lions after Wednesday night’s loss to Mount St. Mary’s.
