Still the best fight song

[18IsTheMan]

This will always be my fight song. I’ll never forgive Dietzel for giving us a Broadway showtime as a fight song.

 

[vacock]

The band plays both.

 

[Cockgun]

I agree, the old fight song was the best, they just don't play it enough.

 

[athenscock3]

Sorry. I'll take the one we've got. I like it. Dietzel also did the one for LSU.

 

[KingWard]

The greatest fight songs are those that have recognizable lyrics that people are glad to sing. Neither of ours qualifies.

Good for you for posting this! A great fight song. A crime what Dietzel did. Not a fan of King Dixon but he did a wonderful thing in bringing it back while he was AD.

So, put some words to it and let's go with this one.

So, put some words to it and let's go with this one.

It has words.


Carolina, let your voices sing to you
we sing our praises high!
Ring out! Sing out! On to victory forever fight,
we'll do or die.
Carolina, fight with all your might,
Let all unite in proud acclaim

Then battle on together, one and all forever, Fight!
We've got to win the game,
Rah! Rah! Rah!

Garnet and Black we raise, Gamecocks forever praise,
So, fight! For Carolina! Cheer! For Carolina!
Hail to our Carolina, we cheer forever, U-S-C!

Then let's promote the words. It could start with a video featuring the one of the schools vocal ensembles and bringing in the cheerleaders. Promote it. Make it a "thing". I'd rather have a distinctive song like this than one we so blatantly filched from another source.

So how do you feel about Rocky Top?
