MSU Fight Song

The actual title of the long-form MSU Fight Song is Falcone Fight, named after an arranger or something.

Current MSU lyrics

On the banks of the Red Cedar,
There's a school that's known to all;
Its specialty is winning,
And those Spartans play good ball;
Spartan teams are never beaten,
All through the game they fight;
Fight for the only colors:
Green and White.

Go right through for MSU,
Watch the points keep growing,
Spartan teams are bound to win,
They're fighting with a vim!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
See their team is weakening,
We're going to win this game,
Fight! Fight! Rah! Team, Fight!
Victory for MSU!

Original Michigan Agriculture Lyrics (1915)

On the banks of the Red Cedar,
There's a school that's known to all;
Its specialty is farming,
And those farmers play football;
Aggie teams are never beaten,
All through the game they'll fight;
Fight for the only colors:
Green and White.

Smash right through that line of blue,
Watch the points keep growing.
Aggie teams are bound to win,
They're fighting with a vim!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Michigan is weakening,
We're going to win this game.
Fight! Fight! Rah! Team, Fight!
Victory for M.A.C.!

Indiana Fight Song Continued

Here is The Viking March. At about 1:10 the familiar Indiana Fight Song starts

Indiana Fight Song

Indiana, Our Indiana

Indiana, Our Indiana,
Indiana, we're all for you!
We will fight for the cream and crimson,
For the glory of old IU
Never daunted, we cannot falter
In the battle, we're tried and true
Indiana, Our Indiana,
Indiana, we're all for you!

The tune was taken from "The Viking March" by Karl King, who was the conductor/composer for Barnum and Bailey Circus. While you're listening to it, just imagine animals, trapeze artists and seeing-eye Hoosiers marching around the center ring.

UMass Fight Song

I was having difficulty finding an audio version to post, so here are just the lyrics.

FIGHT MASS
 
Fight, fight Massachusetts, Fight, fight every play, Fight, fight for a touchdown, Fight all your might today.

Fight down the field Massachusetts, The stars and the stripes will gleam, Fight, Fight for old Bay State, Fight for the team, team, team.


Word Count (for those used more than once):

Notre Dame Fight Song

Notre Dame Victory March


Of course this is a classic and everyone has heard it before. What I like most about it is that during the main part of it (the trio?), it says much more than most fight songs. Usually, we just hear things like "we will win. we are great", but the Victory March asks to "wake up the echos" and "shake down the thunder." They recognized tradition way back in 1908. Nice.

Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky.
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory.

UConn Fight Song

UConn Husky


Interestingly, the arrangement they use now is an adaptation by David Maker of an earlier arrangement by M Alum, M-Fanfare composer and arranger of many traditional M tunes, David Bilik.


U Conn Husky, symbol of might to the foe.
Fight, fight Connecticut, it's victr'y, Let's go
Connecticut U Conn Husky, victr'y again for the White and Blue
So go, go, go Connecticut, Connecticut U. Hi!
C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I C-U-T. Connecticut,
Connecticut Husky,
Connecticut Husky, Connecticut C-O-N-N-U. Hi! (repeat)
