OT: What Other College Fight Songs do you find Catchy?
The Victors will always be our favorite fight song and our only fight song but when it comes to college sports fight songs are what makes the collegiate world so exciting to watch and see on Saturdays. Are there any other schools fight songs that you find catchy to the ear? I personally like Purdue's and Wisconsin's. I also love the classics like Navy's "Anchors Away" and Army's "As the Army Goes Rolling Along."

Sadly, that makes it catchier. When I play NCAA12 sometimes I catch megangoblue humming The Victors and it puts a smile on my face. One time she hummed ND's song and it got a not so nice reaction (disclaimer: an all in good fun not so nice reaction).

I can't describe how much I hate it, but ND's fight song is catchy in a "I'm going to kill someone if this stays in my head" kind of way.

I can't hear the Notre Dame fight song and not think of Leslie Neilsen giving the Win One For The Zipper speech. This makes it easier for me to to hear that song.

Ya as much as I hate ND, their fight song is def the second best to The Victors, of course. Rocky Top is catchy too, even though I really cant stand Tennessee.

I hate when people say
I hate when people say
I hate when people say "This." and nothing else, but 100% totally and completely this.
I love their fight song, and it is the only one I like other than The Victors. Seriously, it's like a drinking song, and my friends and I actually listened to it while driving through Atlanta and later for an actual drinking song. It helps that they're all engineers too (I'm not, but I love it anyway).
If anyone hasn't heard it, go listen right now. You have to have lyrics too. Find the older version that sounds like they sang it 60 years ago. Worth it.
Sidenote: state's song sucks. I don't think they're the original lyrics, but "we're gonna win this game" and "see their team is weeeak" are terrible terrible lyrics (also the song is pretty un-relatable to anything other than football)
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

My HS used "On Wisconsin" too
My HS used "On Wisconsin" too
I was in the band, so I've played On Wisconsin hundreds of times--it is burned into my brain. Which means everytime M plays Wisconsin I have to self-flagellate everytime I unconsciously start to sing or hum along to Wisconsin's songs, which is not infrequently. I went to high school in southern California, so the Wisconsin thing is curious.
ND's is definitely catchy too. So is that ubiquitous USC riff (not that whole song, just the part they play a million times a game). I don't like either of them, but the are catchy.

My High School
My High School
My high school (in Indiana) used "The Victors" melody as its song. It's called "Fight On." I will entertain you all with its lyrics:
Fight! on for Lawrence Central.
Fight! on the battle's raging.
Fight! Lawrence Central,
for maroon and for grey.
Hey Hey Hey!
Fight! on for Lawrence Central
Fight! on we will not fail you.
Fight! Lawrence central Fight!
The victory's ours today!
Hey!
We of course thrusted our fist into the air with every "fight" we bellowed.
Lame? Cool? Your thoughts?

Ditto what everyone said about Notre Dame's Victory March. Hate the school, but The Victors and Victory March are definitely the two catchiest fight songs in college football.
Maroon And Gold (Arizona State) and The Spirit of Troy are pretty good too. UVA uses Auld Lang Syne which is about the most bizarre thing ever.

No offense, but if you don't know that's coming, its about the weirdest thing you could ever experience at a football game. I went to the Western Michigan/UVA game a handful of years ago (not the year Western won), and it was the first time seeing UVA play in person, and after a touchdown everyone stood and swayed to Auld Lang Syne and then went into the whole Hoo Waa chant or whatever its called and I was like "wait, what just happened? Is this real life?"

While I hate the team, I have always enjoyed Rocky Top. I even have an ex that is a huge Tennessee fan, loves Manning and "Uncle Phil", and owns clothing in that ugly orange color and it still hasn't ruined the fight song for me.

Both of these scream college football to me, and I would listen to them outside of CFB environments and enjoy myself. LSU's is very close to Clemson's, but I think the tigers have a better one...the orange tigers.

Not catchy, but certainly revealing
The original lyrics to the MSU fight song are perfectly emblematic of lil' bro, right down to the focus on their older brother:
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.!

My high school fight song was an original composition and was upbeat and catchy. Better than most college songs I hear.
