24. USC?
I think they have the worst fight song ever. Or maybe it's because it's the only one the band knows and they play it all the time.

Nothing can top Michigan's The Victors, easily one of the most recognizable college fight songs ever.

Go Blue!

4. Fight Raiders Fight!
Fight Raiders Fight!
Fight for the school we love so dearly

We'll hit 'em high,
We'll hit 'em low
We'll push that ball across the goal (Tech Fight Fight)

We'll praise your name
Boost you to fame
Fight for the scarlet and the black

We will hit 'em
We will wreck'em
Kick their rectum...oops...wrong line...let's try that again ;-)
Hit 'em, wreck 'em Texas Tech
And the victory bells will ring out!

5. THe one from my highschool.
"We know you'll win the football game,
because you are the stars.
Oh, we know you'll win the football game,
because you are the stars.
But while you were winning the football game
we were out stripping your cars."

8. Yeah, I know...
...you'll be hard pressed to find a fight song better than that even at the college level. Well, maybe the MIT one.

13. Huh?
To which "fight song" do you refer? A&M has no "fight song". We have the "Aggie War Hymn" :eyes: "The Spirit of Aggieland" and "Noble Men of Kyle", but no fight song...

Maybe I should ask SilasSoule - he was in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band.

21. I've always heard it...
as part of the Aggie War Hymn although looking on the A&M web site I'm thinking it may be technically sung to "Saw Varsity's Horns Off".

But then again, what the hell do I know. Like I said, I'll sing it for ya and then we'll know one way or the other.

Texas Bite!

10. Georgia Tech
"I'm a ramblin' wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer"...

Fun fact: Richard Nixon and Nikita Khruschev decided to sing a song together to lighten the mood during their famous "Kitchen Debate"...the only song they both knew was the Georgia Tech fight song.

16. Hold that Tiger!!! Hold that Tiger!!!
Brings back fun memories of the student section.

I think the LSU fight song won a recent poll on ESPN.com, or somewhere like that, for best college fight song.

(although I've always thought it ironic that it was "hold that tiger"; sounds like somthing the opponent would cheer)

18. Washington & Lee Swing
Co-opted by thousands of high schools and jazz bands.

Here's a crazy piano version on midi, played by stride pianist Dick Wellstood (now deceased).

20. The Maine Stein Song
So we're not as big a school as some others but it's a real kick-ass song.

To this day I think some of the words are "Da da da, da da da, da da da da da da da da dut da da."

It was rated sixth in the nation for best "fight song". (Notre Dame was #1.)

(It takes forever to download on my slow dial-up. Sorry.)
