The Opening Cheer in the Movie Almost Got Cut

Yes, that iconic opening cheer that you probably know all the words to almost didn't make the film. Screenwriter Jessica Bendinger told HuffPost: "There was talk of cutting the opening number, and I just threw myself on the sword. I was like, 'If you cut this cheer, then it's just a dumb movie! Who cares?' You need to let everybody know your tongue is in your cheek. There needs to be self-awareness." Can you even imagine this movie without that cheer?
