Best Major College Fight Songs¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ I know you’ve all been anxiously awaiting the results my investigation into the top college fight songs, and I certainly don’t want to disappoint anyone. What I discovered is that the vast majority use basically the same chord progression with a few alterations here and there. That makes for a whole lot of redundancy and a bunch of inconsequential, boring songs. But there are a few that have some form of unique quality that make them stand out above all the rest. So, to placate my recent case of cabin fever and yours, here’s my list of the very best ones- in no particular order: Alabama Unique Tune that is directed towards the other schools in the Southeast Conference (like A&M via UT). Powered by a great band- and they like to sing it, too! @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PUo0UzVIZkRjSVhrOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=J4S5HfDcIXk] Notre Dame Best of the historical, well-known fight songs. Clearly superior to “On Wisconson” and “The Victors” (Michigan). @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PTdjc0doTVFvUW1zOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=7csGhMQoQms] Texas As much as I hate UT, I have to admit that they use a great tune, especially with the” Bulls Bellowing” (Trombones) and the” Eyes of Texas” counter-melody on the repeat. ‘Could be the best overall. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWNUVUpTRUZLU0JFOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=cTUJSEFKSBE] USC Almost a dorky, standard 6/8 march, but the fabulous modulation on the repeat, led by the ‘bone section, elevates it beyond the traditional tunes. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PUo1NXhuRkUwSWJvOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=J55xnFE0Ibo] Penn State Excellent melody in the traditional format, but with a twist, using a drag section at the end. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWNUVUpTRUZLU0JFOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=cTUJSEFKSBE] Arkansas Terrific, unique pyramid segments with a driving lower line. Different and powerful… and ends with a jazz 6th chord. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PWhFWTV4SjMyZkI4OjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=hEY5xJ32fB8] Ohio State University Two distinct musical thoughts in traditional style, with lots of musical enhancements. Simply Superb. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXh6U2ZDdjN1M2QwOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=xzSfCv3u3d0] SMU Clearly the best of the re-cycled folk tunes modified into fight songs (others include Colorado, Tennessee, Wyoming and Georgia). It’s always performed with more gusto and excitement than the others. And of course, the buzz is what really makes it. @[NjQyMTgzOTU5MjA4MTA3Omh0dHBzXGEvL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXhRSlJhaWRlc1dNOjpEZWZhdWx0:https://youtube/watch?v=xQJRaidesWM] That is all. Bring on the College Championship Game! Go Cowboys :-)
