I admittedly had never heard either of those college's versions. I'd wager quite a few colleges had versions of the song at one point or another; it seems nearly endlessly adaptable.

AY ZIGGY ZOOMBA [Bowling Green version]

Nearly 75 years ago, Gilbert Fox, an original SICSIC member, World War II veteran and musicologist wrote "Ay Ziggy Zoomba" and introduced the tune to Bowling Green. In 2013, the BGSU Undergraduate Student Government passed a resolution formally supporting the promotion of “Ay Ziggy Zoomba” to the status of an official fight song of the University.

Roll along you BG warriors
Roll along and win for BGSU!
