Songs That Embody Michigan Football (Besides Hail to the Victors)

Submitted by Santa Clause on April 5th, 2016 at 11:00 PM

I was hoping that I could get some help from the very knowledgeable MGO Board with a little problem I have. A friend/co-worker of mine and I are trying to find songs that embody what UM football is all about, but we have gotten stuck and are struggling to think of more. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Go Blue!

Because calling "The Victors" "Hail to the Victors" is the equivalent of calling "99 problems" "99 problems but a bitch ain't one"

The fact that you care about that little minuscule detail is hilarious to me.

I don't think it's a very small detail, that's our fight song. We should know the name. Especially considering it's the most famous fight song in college athletics.

When I was young i thought the song, "brick house" by the commodores was "Big House" and that it was about Michigan football. The lyrics made no sense in this context, but I thought it was being symbolic. Anyway, that song still reminds me of Michigan football in my youth.

If Michigan has a third fight song it's Let's Go Blue. When you hear that we probably did something good. Honorable not-yet-mentioned: I Wanna Go Back to Michigan and Bullwinkle.

at football games back in the day and it always seemd pretty appropriate:

Feels so good - made popular by Chuck Mangione on his fluglehorn (sp?)

Fabulous - My Time.
They used to play it pregame during the rich rod era and it always makes me think of being in the stadium watching the players warmup before the game.

Michigan Replay used "Push" by 3 Doors Down with a montage/tribute to the 97' defense. It was great.

In addition to the Marching Band and Glee Club references already mentioned in this thread, I would add: Little Brown Jug (Glenn Miller version); and In the Stone (MMB's version of the Earth Wind and Fire song).

I remember being envious of Nintendo users because they could play the game and my Commodore 64/128 collected dust.

Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. I'm pretty sure I was at their last show (unless it was In My Eyes) years ago at some club on Lansdowne Street.
