Some really fun to watch games all day Saturday. After the last game went off, I went looking at
college fight song lyrics and spent an enjoyable hour or so browsing through them. They're all listed in alphabetical order on one page so you can just scroll down to any of them.
Michigan State's (which is called
Victory for Michigan State) lyrics are almost funny given their lack of success this season.
Texas Longhorn's (
Texas Fight) has the word 'fight' seventeen times, not counting the title, more than any other school's. The second line is 'It's goodbye to A&M'.
The
Aggie War Hymn retaliates with the line 'Goodbye to Texas University, So long to the orange and the white'. The goodbye line is repeated later in the song.
The University of Georgia's song is called
Glory, Glory. It consists of only 8 lines and only four different words are used in the whole song.
University of Washington's fight song may be the most aggressive. It's titled
Bow Down To Washington and includes the line 'So heaven help the foes of Washington, They're trembling at the feet of mighty Washington'.
Of the sixty-five schools listed, twelve specifically mention one or more rivals in their song (like both Texas and Texas A&M).
Some of the song titles are humorous in and of themselves, but you have to consider that most were written in the early 20th century.
Maybe I watched a little too much college football Saturday.
