MattressGnome: I meant July, but the effect is the same. This one had a good run, but I'm making space for new caches. Thanks to all who found this.

Geocache Description:

There is No Cache at the Listed Coordinates!

The actual cache can be found by solving the following puzzle, which involves examination of a modern musical masterpiece!

Please Note: Tall buildings near GZ allowed no better than ~5m accuracy, but I assure you the cache is NOT inside a building. Coordinates and Puzzle updated as of 10/5/2017.

From Bach to Bieber, Mozart to Madonna, history is full of influential musicians and the products of their genius. None more so than Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., who I probably don't need to tell you was the mastermind behind not only Alvin and the Chipmunks, but also one of the few songs to include Geocache coordinates! I include here the missing lyrics to his number one (geocaching) hit 'Witch Doctor.'

I told the Witch Doctor I's gonna make a stash
I told the Witch Doctor I'm gonna hide a cache
And then the Witch Doctor he told me something brash... He said to
Ooo Eee Ooo AhAh, Ting+Tang Walla-Walla Bing-Bang,
Ooo Eee Ooo AhAh, Ting+Tang Walla-Walla Bing-Bang.
I've been hiding caches now just like I was a miser
And I think you are prolly not too smart!
I think I'll hide some coords here and you'll be none the wiser
So try and pick my clever rhymes apart!

Ooo Eee Ooo AhAh, Ting-Tang Walla*Walla Bing-Bang
Bing-Tang AhAh Zorp, Bang Zorp+Tang, Ting*Bang Bang+Nib!

This is part of series of 9 'Freshman' caches on the Pennsylvania State University campus. As they are hidden on campus stealth will be required for any and all finds, but they are hidden in unique locations so minimal searching will be required once you've determined GZ. Please be mindful of your surroundings when finding and rehiding the container.
