Favorite college marching/pep band song?

Rocky Top makes me want to slice my ears off Reservoir Dogs style.

"Rocky Top, you will always be,
FUCKING ORANGE TO ME.
FUCK YOU Rocky Top, WOO!
Go to hell Tennessee!"

I'm clearly biased, but "Glory, Glory" for UGA is my favorite because you can be absolutely hammered and still not miss any words. That is what college football is all about ... oh, and the actual game.

 

I have to go with the Aggie War Hymn simply because the Aggies make the press box sway when the lock arms and start sawing Varsity's horns off.

 

"...and to hell with Georgia Tech"

 

I have a perverse love for Rocky Top. Also, I too will throw in a vote for UGA. The "Glory, Glory" moments... Herschel running over the UT dude, Butler's 60-yard FG.. the lone trumpeter in the corner of the stadium... Gave me chills the first time I watched it.

 

My wife and I entered the reception hall at our wedding to Hail to the Victors. You know where my vote went!

 

My high school fight song was Ohio State's, so I'm partial to that.

 

Not a Texas fan, but "The Eyes of Texas" followed immediately by "Texas Fight" is the best in the nation.

The LSU Pregame is epic, too. The slow "Hooooold that Tiiiiger." That's awesome. The Alabama fight song is among the best, as well. I also like when the Florida State band plays the theme to "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."

Nothing worse than being in the middle of that cult ritual.

 

The fact that there are more verses to "Hail to the Motherfuckers" (I know four) than there are to "Hail to the Victors" (two) should say something about Michigan's fight song. Or at least about Michigan.

For me:
The greatest of all university fight songs... The Notre Dame Victory March

Rocky Top's pretty good, too.

 

The fight song of my college is not on here, and it's my favorite. On this one, as Moddy says, "I'm a fanboy you losers."

 

Soooo, remember that top 25 poll you USED to be in?


Actually, since you said pep band song, I would have voted for "When You Say Bud" by the Wisconsin Marching Band, "We Are The Engineers" or the "Copper Country Anthem" by the Michigan Tech band or any pep band that plays Green Day's Basket Case...

 

Hail to the Victors.

I don't know why I waited so long to open this. But fuck you, amraeder.

 

My favorite isn't on here, but I voted "Rocky Top." Kinda mundane until the key change, then the chords and such line up nicely.
