I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This [But I'm Going to Anyway]

by Chelsea Devantez

When I was in my first year of high school, I remember a girl on student council explaining an SNL sketch she’d seen—something about cheerleaders and a Tostito, burrito! chant. Again, we did not have TV, so going off her description, I rewrote the words to fit details about our high school and subsequently performed it during a pep rally. It would be years before I saw a clip of Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri performing the original sketch themselves.
