Subject: RE: Great, but unknown, college fight songs From: JohnInKansas Date: 14 Jan 11 - 12:21 PM One might extend the category by noting that lots of Frats (and Sororities) also had "fight songs" of their own. I've seen a few of those, but none memorable enough to recall offhand. John |

Subject: RE: Great, but unknown, college fight songs From: Joe_F Date: 13 Jan 11 - 06:16 PM A few years ago I happened to be in Cambridge (MA) on the day of the Harvard-Yale game, and the band marched past the little park on JFK St. where I was eating a sandwich. They were playing "Fight Fiercely, Harvard". I thought that was sporting of them. |

Subject: RE: Great, but unknown, college fight songs From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 12 Jan 11 - 03:14 PM I thought The Maine Stein Song had been posted. It was, but it can't be located by these key words: maine, Vallee, stein, no luck . Finally hit it with Non-BS:School Songs, posted by Ron Olesko back in 30 March 04. Ron posted all three verses, not just the first. Thread 68342: School Songs I used to have Rudy Vallee's recording many years ago. |

Subject: RE: Great, but unknown, college fight songs From: kendall Date: 12 Jan 11 - 01:22 PM The Maine Stein Song Lift the steins to dear old Maine Shout til the echos ring Stand and drink a toast once again Let every loyal Maine man sing, Drink to all the happy hours Drink to the careless days Drink to Maine our Alma Mata The college of our hearts always. |

Subject: Great, but unknown, college fight songs From: Cool Beans Date: 12 Jan 11 - 12:49 PM Sure, everybody knows "Cheer, Cheer for Old Notre Dame" and "On, Wisconsin." But there are many fine "go, team" songs nobody knows, not even alumni of those particular institutions. Do you have a favorite unsung college fight song? I'll kick it if off with Detroit's Wayne State University. http://wayne.edu/fightsong/index.php |
