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)
- 2001 would be a stadium song, not a fight song, as it was not written especially for the University of South Carolina. See into text to the list. Rublamb (talk) 17:41, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Colorado State Fight Song
editCan anyone verify if the name of the Colorado State University fight song is called "Colorado State University"?
- I have corrected the song title to "Stalwart Rams" as per the Wikipedia article on the university's fight songRublamb (talk) 17:28, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
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?

- I think adding citations is the solution, meaning each of these entries needs to be check against a reliable source. I have removed some stadium songs and am fixing any errors that I see. Please do the same.@ Rublamb (talk) 17:31, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
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.
