University of South Carolina
editFor the University of South Carolina, Also sprach Zarathustra and the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey" are the same thing. — Michael J 21:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Colorado State Fight Song
editCan anyone verify if the name of the Colorado State University fight song is called "Colorado State University"?
Discussion on fight song removal
editPlease see Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Fight songs for a proposal to clarify the inclusion of fight songs and the list at this article. violet/riga (t) 11:42, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Some of these aren't Fight Songs at all - they're Alma Maters. Eg. "The Yellow and Blue" for Michigan and "MSU Shadows" for Michigan State jump out. UVA's "The Good Old Song" is identified as an Alma Mater. I suspect there are others. Shouldn't they either be removed from the list (and possibly imported to a new list on the Alma Mater article page) or tagged like the UVA alma mater is here?

Eat 'Em Up, etc.
editMaybe there could be a section for "generic" fight songs that are often used. Or maybe there already is such an article, I don't know. The "Eat 'Em Up, Eat 'Em Up, Rah-Rah-Rah!" thing is usually used in conjunction with a four-line variation on the Army bugle Mess Call, between its third and fourth (last) lines.

Splitting proposal
editThe vast majority of this article is a list of college fight songs, not an article about fight songs. I propose that the article is split into an actual article detailing what a fight song is, its applications, history ect., and a separate article: List of college fight songs.
