Continuity mistake: In the shot after Gilbert is dipped and gets soaked in the fountain by the Alpha-Betas, when he is up on the podium, you notice that he is almost dry, only his head is wet. (01:21:25 - 01:23:00)
Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jeff Kanew
Starring: Anthony Edwards, Robert Carradine, Timothy Busfield, Andrew Cassese
Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu win the Homecoming Carnival and select Gilbert as the new president of the Greek Council. The coach tells the Alpha Betas to do something about it, and instilled with rage, they completely trash the Tri-Lambs' house. Gilbert marches to the pep rally being held and tell everyone what the Alpha Betas did, and also that nerds aren't different and shouldn't be picked on. Lewis and the other nerds arrive, and tell everyone to join them if they've ever felt picked on, so everyone in the crowd joins them against the Alpha Betas. The dean tells the coach that the Alpha Betas have to rebuild the Tri-Lambs' house while they live in the Alpha Betas' dorm, leaving them to go live in the gym.

Stan Gable: Times are changing, Betty. These nerds are a threat to our way of life.
Betty Childs: If they win the Homecoming Carnival, they'll be able to take over the Greek Council.
Stan Gable: Yeah. And we'll be up to our asses in nerd shit.
Trivia: The University of Arizona agreed to let the filmmakers shoot at the campus but then revoked permission after reading the script and discovering how raunchy it was. Eventually they again changed their minds and let them shoot. They also allowed many of the students to be used as extras.

Answer: First, Lewis and Betty are not "having sex" - he is raping her, and the writer and director later described it as "not excusable" (https://decider.com/2019/07/26/revenge-of-the-nerds-rape-scene-regret/). Second, the song you hear is "Right Time for Love" by Jill Michaels and Pat Robinson. It was not written for the film.
