"Cheer Down" by George Harrison.
Yukari was watching a high-school girls' basketball game. She was surprised at the gloom of the students in the bleachers, the players on the court, and even the cheerleaders.
Nyamo was coaching the home team. "Hey, Nyamo!" said Yukari. "Who died?"
Nyamo sighed sadly. "Didn't you know? We held a contest to rename the team, and one of your students won."
Yukari gasped. "You don't mean—"
As if on cue, the cheerleaders half-heartedly mumbled the new team name. "Go Team Sea Slugs. Rah rah rah."
Only one girl in the otherwise quiet bleachers showed any school spirit. "YAY!!" said Osaka.
