The only part that I remember singing along to in the Big House when I was there back in '98-00:

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conquering heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
the leaders and best
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conquering heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
the champions of the West!

*humming Michigan fight song*

I'm biased but Rocky Top is the best and easily one of the most recognized/original anywhere.

I had never heard Rocky Top until I moved to SEC land (Atlanta). In the south it is very recognized, but outside of that region most people can read.

That's not very nice :(

You paint me blue :(

I think ND's song kicks butt. Seriously. Maybe because ND's fight song was our HS fight song, but I didn't give a crap about our 1-12 football team in high school. I think ND's fight song is a REAL fight song. U$C is like uhhh wtf. Michigan has a pretty good song too, but U$C is just lame. Seriously. Plus their band sucks. Ever go to a SC game? Yea. You can hear shouts of "Learn a new song damnit," and while you can just say they're disgruntled opponents, there's some truth in it. You don't hear people shouting that at Cal games or other games.

WVU Fight Song

WVU's intro (first half minute) is pretty sick although the rest is your average fight song.

I listened to the UCLA and Bama ones people posted and they were weak. I do like the Notre Dame (hate the team), OSU, Tenn, and Mich songs too.

It isn't their fight song but Alabama's Rammer Jammer is my favorite:

Hey Vols! Hey Vols! We just beat the hell out of you! Rammer Jammer, Yellow Hammer, give 'em hell Alabama!

Back in the 90's the SEC told Alabama that they couldn't play it during a game, only afterwards.

UCLA hands down

Read the OP to make sure you know what UCLA's fight song actually is.

Cuz otherwise you're voting for California and UCLA can stop jacking our songs. KTHX.

From Wiki

Currently, at Football games the UCLA Band plays "Mighty Bruins" after touchdowns and uses UCLA's other fight song, "Sons of Westwood" after first downs.

Sounds a lot better because UCLA has a real band.

LOL. Just like Cal plays "Fight for California" after touchdowns and "Big C" after first downs, where Sons of Westwood = Big C except it sounds a lot worse because it's a biteoff.

Being an OSU fan, I should vote for them... but in all reality, I like Michigan's fight song better.

Hail to Old OSU, written by Harold L. Wilkins, is the fight song for Oregon State University.
OSU, our hats are off to you
Beavers, Beavers, fighters through and through
We'll root for every man, we'll cheer for every stand
That's made for old OSU.
Watch our team go tearing down the field
Men of iron, their strength will never yield.
Hail, hail, hail, hail
Hail to old OSU.
who doesn't love a fighting beaver?

Ah, now you have me humming my favorite fight song

Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.

How we will celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea. (How jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field,
And fight, fight, fight!

Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Oh, fellas, do not let the crimson down,
Be of stout heart and true.

Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name!
Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!)
Let's try not to injure them,
But fight, fight, fight!
Let's not be rough, though!
Fight, fight, fight!
And do fight fiercely!
Fight, fight, fight!


I voted for Wisconsin since my high school song was that tune with incredibly cheezy local lyrics.

Hopefully you guys aren't thinking of that tune USC's band plays while on defense...

This is USC's fight song.

I went to Swarthmore. We may not have even had a fight song, but we had one hell of an intellectual football cheer:
Repel them, repel them.
Make them relinquish the ball!
;)

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://unicomm.byu.edu/about/songs/">The Cougar Song
Brigham Young University[

Rise all loyal cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe.
You will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, strong, and true
Wear the white and blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on Cougars it's up to you. Oh!

CHORUS:

Rise and shout, the Cougars are out
along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out
As you unfold your victr'y story.

On you go to vanquish the foe for Alma Mater's sons and daughters.
As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong.
We'll raise our colors high in the blue
And cheer our Cougars of BYU.</a>

...with download of band playing the tune...
