Famous memorable college anthems anyone?

Bit of a music nerd here. I love the idea of college pride songs, brings such a sense of unity and spirit. What are some of the most famous college songs that everyone in college knows and loves all across the country? Thanks!

Sure, there are numerous college songs that have stood the test of time and become significant parts of the college experience. Here are a few:

1. "The Victors" - University of Michigan: Composed in 1898, this anthem is regularly played at Michigan sports games.

2. "Fight On" - University of Southern California: USC's fight song is performed by the Spirit of Troy and is popular at football games.

3. "Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech" - Georgia Institute of Technology: Essentially the school's fight song, it generates a hefty amount of nostalgia among graduates.

4. "Rocky Top" – University of Tennessee: While it's not officially the university's fight song, "Rocky Top" has become synonymous with the Tennessee Vols' games.

5. "Boomer Sooner" – University of Oklahoma: This song borrows melodies from two other college songs, "Boola Boola" from Yale and "I'm a Tar Heel Born" from the University of North Carolina, but the quick tempo and repetition make it a memorable number.

6. "On, Wisconsin!" – University of Wisconsin: Used for multiple Wisconsin sports, it's a staple song for the Wisconsin Badgers.

7. "Sweet Caroline" – Penn State University: Not the official fight song, but a ubiquitous presence at Penn State. The crowd goes wild over this Neil Diamond's classic.

8. "Bear Down, Arizona" – University of Arizona: The official fight song of the University of Arizona since it was penned in 1926, it's a fixture at Wildcat games.

Always remember, the specific traditions and songs can vary wildly from school to school so it's always best to do some research and dig into the school's unique history.
