Our Blue and Gold Forever

By Tater Barley Banks | Posted Under Comment Diversions | Comments (189)

Next weekend, Tater Tot will receive her master’s from the University of Hartford (Hello, Spigot! Hello, Wings Over Hartford! Hello, City Steam Brewery! And anyone here in a position to hire a symphony violinist, call me!), and at some point toward the end of the proceedings, someone in a funny-looking robe and hat will ask the graduates to stand and sing the worst song ever written.

Oh, I don’t mean U of H’s alma mater SPECIFICALLY is the worst song ever written. I mean that ALL alma maters are the worst song ever written.

Take that bit of drivel in the headline up there. That’s the beginning of my high school alma mater, and I haven’t sung it or thought much about it in 35 years but damn if I can’t recall the tune and most of the words:

Our blue and gold forever
As we stand together
We sing your praises loudly
Our alma mater dear
To you we will be loyal
Something
Something
Something blah.


I have mercifully blanked on the last few lines, and after reading the first few I think you can understand why. That’s just awful, isn’t it? Just start with the opening couplet, which doesn’t even rhyme, really, and go from there. That’s some dreadful songwriting.

But I am comforted by the reasonable assurance that your high school alma mater wasn’t much better, if not worse.

BTW, there was an amusing moment during my college graduation from the little commuter school I went to in downtown Pittsburgh, when we were all asked to stand and sing the alma mater. We all looked at each other. We didn’t know we had one. So instead of singing we mostly laughed.

Anyway, on to the diversion: Can you still sing your high school and/or college alma mater? Just how bad are the lyrics? I’m sure they’d make for some painfully amusing reading if you’d be so kind as to post them below.

P.S. Anyone who has a good diversion idea for 5/15, let me know, so my mind can be completely free next week to concentrate on the impossibility of ever repaying the $60,000 student-loan debt Tater Tot accumulated the past two years. Thanks!

Yes to my high school. No to my college (mostly cause I never learned it).

And yes, the alma mater is full of pretentious crap. They all are.

I remember parts of my high school's. I don't really remember my college's alma mater, but I remember the fight song. Oddly, the one I remember most is the alma mater of the school where I went to middle school.

Posted by: Cree83 at May 8, 2010 3:32 PM

I can't remember most of it, except that the last three words were "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Really.

To be honest, there isn't much I remember about the school, except that Creationism 101 was a mandatory class, and that our "Field Trips" consisted of pipe bombing abortion clinics. OH! And Friday was "Book Burning Day"!

Oh, those Private Catholic High Schools...

Well, I don't know my high school and college ones (or if we even had them), but for some reason I still remember my elementary school's, word for word (and I'm 32). Sung to the tune of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," it goes:

"South School is your school
South School is my school
From the noisy bus room
To the wide wide playground
From kindergarten
To the halls of fourth grade
South School was made for you and me..."

I think there were more verses referencing specific teachers and classes, but that part is the only one interminably etched in my brain...

Posted by: tinmo at May 8, 2010 3:41 PM

My high school didn't have an alma mater. We were too new. Also, the concept of school spirit was us not caring while we won every sports event ever to be invented. We were too superior to be earnest about our desire to win. Man, was I glad to get out of there.

My college -- well, according to Wikipedia, it has a ridiculous number of verses and some of them are in latin. But the latin verses are mostly sex jokes, apparently. I only know the first line and the part about hating our rivals. I think that's about all anyone knows.

Posted by: esme at May 8, 2010 3:44 PM

I'm fairly certain my high school did not have a song. If it did, I didn't know anything about it. Of course, when I was in high school, I avoided the place like the plague, so I wouldn't necessarily have known something like that...

As for college, I've only started in the last few years, and I'm a part time commuter student with very little time for activities outside of classes and homework, so I've no idea if either of the schools I've gone to have one. Maybe I should find that out before I go to graduation and they ask me to sing it.... Well, that gives me a few years.

So dumb. We even had choreographed hand jestures that included knee slapping and clapping.

Posted by: Stillnadine at May 8, 2010 3:51 PM

I moved around way too much to learn any of that crap, schools/college were a means to an end, got out never looked back.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at May 8, 2010 3:53 PM

The only song I can think of a being our school song was set to Taps and sung at the end of graduation. A bit of a downer. Granted, our mascot was a daisy so we weren't exactly known for being top-notch people.

Posted by: Victoria at May 8, 2010 4:08 PM

I still know the words to my high school alma mater. I was in the chorus, and we had to sing it every year at graduation. It was set to the tune of "God of our Fathers." Surprisingly, for a church-going Southern girl, I was not familiar with that hymn, so I didn't learn it until I learned the HS alma mater.

I did not learn my college alma mater. I did not have much school spirit. I just wanted to get the degree and get out.

Posted by: rlr260 at May 8, 2010 4:08 PM

I love my school a million
It means the world to me.
A world that’s joyful
A world that’s hopeful
A world that’s holy and free.

O dear, my dear NA
I offer you my heart today;
To stand forever true,
To your name and to you.
Your colors I shall wear,
The brightest gold and deepest blue,
To show the world
That purity and loyalty
I’ve learned from you.


Can you guess that I went to an all girls Catholic high school? And the saddest part is I remember the entire damn thing. It's like I was brainwashed. Oh wait...I was.

I was sent from Africa to a boarding school in Irleand at the tender age of 11. Where I was supposed to learn Irish,the Irish version of english,the school song in Irish and another one in latin. Subsequently I learnt sweet fuck all about all of the above. I was the first person in the schools 300 years to be asked to leave the school choir. Only because I kept on replying to the choir master with "Ja" instead of "Yes". Which I found fucking odd as the bearded bastard couldn't pronounce the letter R and the Irish kids all said "Ya" instead of "Yes" with impunity. It didn't get me down though as I learnt in varsity that I had a great voice and was an admired lyricist after a few alcoholic beverages.

Posted by: bob at May 8, 2010 4:29 PM

How perfectly timed! My high school just had Founder's Day, a day where we all forgo classes to go to the lower school, sit in an auditorium in our finest clothing, and pat ourselves on the back for being part of such a progressive, liberal institution.

Every year we have to sing the alma mater and it's the most ridiculous part of the day because not a single person knows it, not even the most devoted faculty member. And it is old as shit. It talks about grassy banks and knolls... and maybe says something about "wearied ways"? I don't know. All I know is that part of it is in Latin. The one part everyone knows goes something like "Iam cantate jubilate gaudeaaaaaaaamussssssss."

We also play field hockey and only teach modern dance. We are pretentious as fuck.

Posted by: DontStopNow at May 8, 2010 4:30 PM

Dang. I can remember far more than I expected. Also, it's terrible.

Hail to dear Los Gatos High,
alma mater fair,
nestled neath the mountain sky,
like a jewel rare.

probably another verse in here.

Once again we pledge our love,
love that cannot die,
something something la la la,
dear Los Gatos High.

However, our fight song was much better, because we just ripped off On, Wisconsin (a great song). I never knew any of my college songs, or even if we had any.

Posted by: Anne (in Reno) at May 8, 2010 4:32 PM

I don't remember a school song, either from secondary school or uni. We DID have a song in primary school, but fuck if I can remember the bloody thing.

Posted by: Aislinn at May 8, 2010 4:32 PM

you assume a highschool to have provided anything meaningful to a person. well, i am canadian, and our highschools werent so important to begin with, let alone pretending our offspring were special and had accomplished anyting during puberty.

this site is going down hill. we used to have incisive reviews of new films and cadgy fun reviews of old films, and a little drunken fun in between. now we have incessant "trade" news, and daily updates from hollywood's twilight machine.

we can all pretend, but this site was bought. now, instead of a few updates each day, that were all interesting commentary about film, we get 30 updates a day on every ounce of celebrity gossip available.

shame.

not shame for following a business model, but shame for pretending otherwise.

No song for my private school, though it probably would have said something about "don't wanna be bussed to the other side of town" since I started going there when Charlotte integrated it's school system in the early 70s.

Though I can't remember ever hearing it I did find the lyric to the USC song.

The University of South Carolina Alma Mater
"We Hail Thee Carolina"
We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise
With loyal devotion, remembering the days
When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be:
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!

After Univ. of SC I went to art school. We didn't have a song, but this was in the mid 80s, so I guess any Joy Division song would have worked.

@BarbadosSlim
I always thought of the Pajiba song being the Kevin Bloody Wilson song "You can't say C*nt in Canada"

Posted by: bob at May 8, 2010 5:25 PM

I can assure you that Cunt is quite popular in Canada. BSlim is right though, highschools aren't that important in Canada. I think our highschool is pretty much like American college.

Hail Manheim Township High!
To thee we sing
All round the great big world

That is all the repressed memory that I can stand for the day.

Curious to see if any other Jibans have matriculated from my old school.

I highly recommend that you check it out on youtube, it was our song for the Winter Olympics after a small language problem with some friendly people in uniform in Toronto.

We hail the glory of East High
Her honor shinning bright
in Wichita we proudly raise
her banner blue and white

we stand before the whole wide world
blue aces soaring in the sky
and ever will our voices raise
in praise
of old East High


Lame I know! However KUs alma mater is pretty great.


Far above the golden valley
Glorious to view,
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Towering toward the blue.

Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee, our Alma Mater
Hail to old KU.

I don't know if it's great or if it's just fucking epic since every single person here knows all the words and we sing the whole thing at EVERY EVENT!


oddly enough both songs are to the same tune. Meaning I will likely remember both of these songs till the day I die. Way to rip off your nearest university East High. (a school that oddly enough is not on the East side of town)

Posted by: E-Money at May 8, 2010 5:54 PM

I never learned the words to my high school's alma mater. I was in the band and played it at every football game, so I couldn't sing it to you but I could hum it.

As for Lycoming College's alma mater, I was in choir, so those lyrics are burned into my brain:

We sing to Lycoming with clarion voice of praise.
The thunderbird speaks for the glory of yesterdays
The blue of honor, gold of valor, born of sky and sun.
We blaze a trail of light through our valley
Holding a torch of flame for our Alma Mater,
Illustrious be her name.
With tribal devotion we pledge our consecration.

A Chieftain of old, standing sentinel in the sun.
Old Main guards the memory of battles lost and won,
Of our incantation, dedications, praising our warriors bold.
Abidingly true, old friendships and new
find worth in the bonds of Lycoming;
Long may her sachem
Proclaim her noble birth
With high exulation, we chant to her creation.

Yeah, our colors were blue & gold, and our mascot was the Warrior. Well, it still is, only the Native American image that represented him has been removed so our college could be politically correct.


Posted by: MelBivDevoe at May 8, 2010 5:56 PM

Wow...I honestly don't remember.

It's "Something, something, something...something pride and glory...something...these things that are best." I know that last line is a part of it.

Congratulations to Tater Tot!

I attended a community college; they may have had an official song but I doubt anyone cared, I certainly didn't.

I know my high school had one. But the entire student body (as well as the faculty staff) was so incredibly apathetic and disinterested that I can't imagine ever having any occasion to sing or hear it. Remember the pep rally scene in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"? Add copious amounts of beer, cigarettes, weed and purple microdot acid and that was my high school.

Posted by: Billy Baloney at May 8, 2010 6:23 PM

Ah, ASU alma mater song ... as embarrassing as our current state policies.

"Where The Bold Saguaros
Raise Their Arms On High
Praying Strength For Brave
Tomorrows
From The Western Sky
Where Eternal Mountains
Kneel At Sunset's Gate
Here We Hail Thee, Alma
Mater
Arizona State"

I remember bits and pieces of each school song I knew at one time. The earliest one I remember is for my grammar school. Yes, my grammar school had a song. And, even at my tender young age, I knew it was awful but that didn't stop me from belting it at the top of my lungs whenever the urge struck me. I believe some of the lyrics said something about green hills and blue lakes, which was fucking hilarious because I have lived most of my life in Florida and we have neither of those things. At the end of the song the lyrics just consisted of the school's name repeated ad nauseum.

My high school alma mater had the words "fight, fight, fight" in it. That's all I remember. Since it was the research school for Florida State University the song was similar to the FSU alma mater but different enough so the two weren't confused.

And I'll be damned, but I can't remember a single word of Florida State's alma mater. Not one single word. I didn't even hear it at graduation because I skipped that shit. Four hours of sitting around the civic center in an uncomfortable, ugly polyester gown and a stupid hat in order to commemorate my bachelor's degree? I think not. But I do remember the sporting song. I quote:

F-L-O-R-I-D-A!! S-T-A-T-E!!
FLORIDA STATE!!
FLORIDA STATE!!
FLORIDA STATE!
WOO!

And then there was some faux-native American war chant, complete with the Tomahawk Chop. There might have been words. But the general notion was that Florida State will fuck you up. Which they frequently did, until Bobby Bowden's senility became contagious.

Posted by: stardust at May 8, 2010 6:34 PM

I just looked up the lyrics and it seems that the 2 lines I know--that I swore is how the song starts--are actually 2 lines in.

We come from old Virginia/
Where all is bright and gay.

That's OK, Tina Fey remembered about 1 line when she was on Leno a while back.

WIN.

I attended Colorado State University and our fight song rocked!

Fight on you stalwart Ram team
On to the goal
Tear the opponent's line asunder
As down the field we thunder
Knights of the Green and Gold
Fight with all your might
Fight on you stalwart Ram team
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Also, the now banned, but much beloved by students, Fum's Song:

I'll sing you a song of college days
And tell you where to go
Aggies' where knowledge is,
Boulder spends your dough.
C.C. for your sissy boys,
Utah for your times,
D.U. for your ministers,
For drunkards, School of Mines
Don't send my boy to Wyoming U.
A dying mother said;
Don't send my boy to Utah State,
I'd rather see him dead,
But send him to the ole Aggies,
'Tis better than Cornell,
Before I'd see my son in Boulder,
I would see my boy in Hell

I can only remember a couple of lines (and not all consecutive) of my University of Illinois alma mater song. I have no freaking idea what my high school song(s) were supposed to be.

i have not yet been to college

My schools have not had active songs since the 1970s. The HS has tried for years to have students write a new one. Turns out a school that does not regularly offer entry-level music theory shouldn't judge their students on their counterpoint abilities.

OMG. Australian primary and high schools don't do this well at all:

Lyneham High
Rise up, and sing the praise Lyneham High,
And pledge a fellowship of friends.
We'll work, and make our hope of progress be
A bond that never ends.
Walk the pathways that the studious choose,
Play the game, but win or lose,
Our emblem blazoned in maroon and blue
Will foster all things true.

Lyneham Primary
To the tune of "I love to go a-wandering"

To Lyneham School we all belong
In Canberra City fair.
We'll work and .... something something ..
And strive with all our care.
(Chorus)
Lyneham School, Lyneham fair,
On we march, may we always try to learn and serve our school,
Lyneham school,
We are proud to sing your praise.

No act of ours will ever spoil,
The lustre of your name,
For in our something, and in our something,
We'll always play the game.
(Chorus)


Favourite would have to be my football team:

Hawthorn
to the tune of "Yankee Doodle Dandy" FFS:

We're a happy team at Hawthorn
We're the Mighty Fighting Hawks.
We love our Club, and we play to win,
Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn).
Come what may, you'll find us striving
Team work is the thing that talks,
One for all and all for one
Is the way we play at Hawthorn.
We are the Mighty Fighting Hawks.


Posted by: Hell Kelpie at May 8, 2010 7:46 PM

I was in the University Choir, so we were dragged out to lots of events to sing the alma mater to drunk trustees and such. We are literally the only students who know the words. The lyrics aren't weird, but they are, for the most part, unknown.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at May 8, 2010 7:47 PM

My high school sports teams were called the Gryphons. Our school song was sung to the tune of "On, Wisconsin:"

Onward, Gryphons
Onward, Gryphons
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah...
Dah, dah, Gryphons
Dah, dah, Gryphons
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah...

Um, that's all I can remember. It was a long time ago and I've had, you know, a life and stuff since those days.

Congratulations to the Tot.

i ve attended many high schools and several colleges, and i have to, per usual, agree with BSLIM; probably enough said, relevantly, but, for me, i learned more in a Mosh pit, or waitin' tables or workin' with autistic kids, etc; we had our songs too, and somebody once said something, if you have to say something, about songs being closest to expressing something, real

Posted by: furtherbeyond at May 8, 2010 8:11 PM

I also went to a few schools over the years and I remember nothing about any of the songs other than they were like the irritating jingles that you'd hear on the radio. Something was chanted at college that rhymed with "promising me a vcr" is about all I care to remember.
As for a good diversion. How about that video or dvd that you rented out and never took back for whatever reason/lame ass excuse?

This is my high school song, a complete piece of crap:

Centered among a hundred lakes
Home of the Blue and Gold
Proudly stands our alma mater
As the years unfold

Blah blah blah
Through her portals passed;
And to each she gave a job
Or some worthy task

Enter to learn, go forth to serve
We hold our motto high ...

Congrats to the U of H grad! I just googled my school's fight song and it ain't pretty. Apparently when your school colors are olive, blue and green your songs inspire vomiting. Here's a school cheer however that's obviously better sung drunk

A One, A Two, A Helluva Hullabaloo
A Hullabaloo Ray Ray
A Hullabaloo Ray Ray
Hooray-Hooray Vars Vars Tee Ay
Tee Ay, Tee Ay Vars Vars Tee Ay


Yeah, I don't remember ever hearing that. However I heard "Funky Cold Medina" all the damn time at school events. So I'll assume that's the new school song.

Posted by: Mrcreosote at May 8, 2010 10:34 PM

I remember my high school Alma Mater because I had to sing it at graduation. It was...bleh.

We are strong for East Limestone, our Alma Mater
and we'll love her with a love that's ever true.
We will never cease to fight
for our hearts are always right
hand in hand we stand united for our school!

Day by day we press along, our duties tending
never failling to remember to be truuuuuuuuue....
East Limestone we love her name
and we always will retain...
love for her throughout the years, still the same.

Now, our "fight song" didn't have words, but it was the same song that the Atlanta Braves use when they do that arm waving thing, so the closest we ever got to singing it was:

Daaaaaaa Da Dadadada
Da Da Duh
Daaaaaaa Da Dadadada
Da Da Duh
(to infinity and beyond.)

Posted by: ZombieNurse at May 8, 2010 10:44 PM

In addition to our brutal high school alma mater, my senior class picked a senior song and it got sung at school functions. Remember that I'm old as sequoias when I tell you it was Seals & Crofts' syrupy "We May Never Pass This Way Again."

So ... the senior song is the horror of the moment, while the alma mater is a horror forever.

Wish we had "Funky Cold Medina" back in my day.

Mine tops it. It was written by two English professors who were clearly doing it for free, because the lyrics are ungodly shit.

Min-ne-so-ta State, we hail.
Hail the pur-ple and the gold
All a-lum-ni, Old and new
Take you with them when they go.
From the hill-top, from the Prairie
Where the ri-ver bends to lead them
We are walk-ing proud and strong,
Min-ne-so-ta State on and on.

Ra-cha Macha, MSU
Now and al-ways we'll be true
In the class-room, on the mall
By the foun-tain, spring or fall
In the ci-ties in their to-wers,
In the na-tions far from home.
Min-ne-so-ta State we hail to you.
Pur-ple and gold we're ever true.

BTW, Racha Macha is a made up chant that NO ONE at our school has used in any of the time I have been here. The English professors in question found it in a newspaper from the 1890s. It is entirely possible they only ever used this phrase once in the history of ever, and these jackasses co-opted it for their pro-bono hymn for a public state university nobody is proud to go to.

At Penn State they play the alma mater at the beginning of football games, and it's tradition to sing "I don't know the goddamn words" to the music for the entire song.

Considering the stadium holds 100,000+--most of whom are students or former students--that's a lot of people saying "I don't know the goddamn words" at the same time.

Posted by: Lindsay at May 8, 2010 11:22 PM

Lindsay, my grandparents worked at Penn State, so I grew up going to the football games. Singing the "alma mater" was always the best part. I remain a loyal PSU fan simply because my school's football sucks so hard that it's embarrassing to watch. Last year, when we were trying to kick an extra point, the holder dropped the ball, and everyone stood around for like 30 seconds before anyone realized what was happening.

Posted by: esme at May 8, 2010 11:52 PM

Lindsay, my fiance is a Penn State alum, so we go to games whenever we can. I don't know the lyrics OR the melody to the Alma Mater, so I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one stumbling my way through it.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at May 8, 2010 11:58 PM

My high school alma mater was kind of weird. Very gung-ho about being Hawaiian. But the best part is the line where there are no words, just filler "ray ray rah-ray-rah"s. So random.

Be strong and ally ye, O Sons of Hawaii, and nobly stand together hand in hand
All dangers defy ye, O Sons of Hawaii, and bravely serve your own, your fatherland.
Ring, ring, Kalihi ring. Swell the echo of our song.
Ray ray ray rah ray rah, ray ray Kamehameha
Let hills and valleys loud our song prolong.

Be firm and deny ye, O Sons of Hawaii, allurements that your race will overwhelm.
Be true and rely ye, O Sons of Hawaii, on God the prop and pillar of your realm
Ring, ring, Kalihi, ring. Swell the echo of our song.
Ray ray ray rah ray rah, ray ray Kamehameha
Let hills and valleys loud our song prolong.


Yeah, it's kind of like Hawaiian fascism. Woo!

I don't remember my high school or college song - probably helps that I never attended a single football or basketball game. However, I do remember a particularly bad song I had to learn during ROTC, and I had to sing at the cadet version of band camp between junior and senior year:

A bar of gold on Army green
A bar of gold on Army green
If you're looking for a leader
one who's heard as well as seen
Look to the one who's earned respect
and a bar of gold on Army green.

And the tune of course doesn't quite go with the words either.

I can't remember one word of MIT's alma matter (no one can unremember the fight song, with the prevalance of secants, slide rules, and and mu), so Central High School (Phiily Edition) alma matter:

Let others sing of college days,
Their alma maters true,
But when we raise our voices,
'Tis only high for you!
We'll ne'er forget those days gone by,
Those lovely days of old,
Were oft we sang the praises
of the Crimson and the Gold!

Dear High, Dear Central High [stomp stomp]
Thy Mem'ries never die [stomp stomp]
Thy honor and cherish
and laud it to the sky [sky! sky!]
In ballfield or in life,
In peace or deadly strife,
[too rowdy to remember the last verse]
For dear old, dear old high.

There are other verses and what not, but people usually change to other songs like "Central Mambo, Ole! Ole! FUCK [target]!" after the first song.

I just remember my college's fight song:

I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech, and a hell of an engineer--
A helluva, helluva, helluva, helluva, hell of an engineer.
Like all the jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a hell of an engineer.

Oh! If I had a daughter, sir, I'd dress her in White and Gold,
And put her on the campus to cheer the brave and bold.
But if I had a son, sir, I'll tell you what he'd do--
He would yell, 'To hell with Georgia!' like his daddy used to do.

Oh, I wish I had a barrel of rum and sugar three thousand pounds,
A college bell to put it in and a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the good fellows who come from far and near.
I'm a ramblin', gamblin', hell of an engineer!

The only fight song sung by Nixon and Khrushchev at the Kitchen Debate in Moscow.

Go Jackets!

To me, the very idea of having a school anthem is hilarious and bizarre and so very Anglo. And that's considering that I went to an American school in Venezuela. I think if we had had an anthem everyone would've been too embarrassed to sing it, because...hee. School anthem. How quaint.

Posted by: figgy at May 9, 2010 2:02 AM

South Salem High,
South Salem High,
Thy name is in our hearts..
We stand by thee,
and give to thee
Blah blah blah blah blah blah....

It was actually a lovely song, composed for the school by some known musician.
I was a Choir Geek, and Choir was a BIG FUCKING DEAL at SSHS. We won State every year, pretty much. We sang that song in multiple arrangements, but I seem to have lost the brain cells that contained the lyrics.
Careful with the booze, kiddies! You don't get those brain cells back!

Southern suns and sky blue water,
Smile upon you Alma mater;
Mistress of this fruitful land,
With all knowledge at your hand,
Always just to honor true,
All our love we pledge to you.
Alma Mater, stand forever
On Biscayne's wondrous shore.

University of Miami isn't on the coast...just sayin'

high school alma mater song:

Come, loyal Benedictine children
O, come and let us sing
Our voices raised in youthful hearts,
With youthful hearts aflame
In praise of St. Scholastica,
Let these walls ring in accents bright
Let these walls ring in accents bright
Her glory, glory, and her name
O, glorious St. Scholastica
O, dove who flew to heaven on wings of love
Strengthen our wings, who still are on our way
Watch o'er our flight, for we are prone to stray
We stand here and salute thee, alma mater, alma mater
We stand here and salute thy noble aims, thy noble aims
No matter where we roam,
Thy spirit ever,
Alive within our hearts, thy name proclaim.

...sometimes it doesn't make sense. But the melody's nice! And it has better-written lyrics than my uni's song which, I swear, has a line that goes, "Win or lose, it's the school we choose!"

Posted by: ilikepie at May 9, 2010 10:46 AM

It starts "All hail to old Purdue"...and that's really all I got. I don't even remember my high school having a school song. If they did I'm sure it was lame and ripped off. Our school logo was the same as the Oakland Raiders, just different colors of blue and orange. Yep, lame.

Posted by: TylerDFC at May 9, 2010 11:32 AM

I just learned my college's alma mater yesterday (and I've been there for three years). It was great to realize that not even the choir could quite figure out how to pronounce "Marye".

Posted by: Claire at May 9, 2010 11:46 AM

Drink blood
Smoke crack
Worship Satan
GO MAC!
All hail the dark goat!

It's not the official fight song, but I don't think anyone knows the real one.

Posted by: Ruby at May 9, 2010 12:25 PM

We're from Eisenhower
and we're true
we're the Eisenhower
eagle crew
we are loyal we are true
see our colors flying above you
blue is for the spirit
that we share
white is to show that we are fair
the red is our courage
the eagle our power
we are from eisenho-ow-er

Actually I think that was a fight song rather than an alma mater. Pretty crappy, regardless. I remember it because we sang it a lot because our team was the #1 football team in the U.S. my junior year. Also I was in the choir and we even sang it in choir practice. No clue about a more solemn alma mater. Oh, and we had an unofficial song that year: "Ike Ike Baby" with the obvious tune. Now you can guess how old I am.

In college the only lines I remember were SEMO SEMO U! but I'm not sure those were even official lyrics since the administration was trying to discourage people from calling our school SEMO.

Oh, and it was an army town--hence the name and the patriotic colors. Most of the schools in town were named for generals.

I didn't even know my college HAD a song until we were asked to sing it at graduation. We were provided ahead of time with a sheet with the words, but I don't think anyone actually bothered to learn them. Therefore, we all mumbled our way through except during the "We love you EEEEEEEEEEMMMERSON!" bits.

Posted by: Siege at May 9, 2010 2:43 PM

E-money, KU's alma mater is definitely great, but it is also completely ripped off of Cornell's. I thought I was seeing things, but Wikipedia informs me that "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" has been adapted to a wide variety of universities.

I was in the university chorus, so I don't think I could forget it if I tried (and I know three different parts, too!). My high school's, however...I lost that puppy right after we had to sing it for graduation. According to my school website, there is a good reason for that:

Mechanicsburg High School,
You're the dearest school to me.
Mechanicsburg High School,
True to you we'll always be.
Fairest colors, maroon and steel,
Faith in you we'll always feel.
Dearest school beneath the sky,
Mechanicsburg High!

I'm sure it could be more generic only with effort.

I don't know the words to my high school fight song but I can hum it. It was set to the same tune as the U of Illinois fight song. And I can do the cheerleading dance to it too, so there's that.

My college fight song was played over the chapel organ across campus everyday at noon, but I couldn't sing it or hum it if my life depended on it. And I knew the words to it by heart at one time. So sad.

I went to a private all-girl school in New York (before moving to Central Europe and attending a public co-ed school, the trauma of which transition will remain unmentioned) and while I don't remember our alma mater I do remember the blazer of the school uniform embroidered with the school initials "BS".
Not to mention the school's mascot: the beaver. At the centennial some well-meaning yet equally misguided alumn had lapel pins made reading "100 years of eager beaver". I kid you not.

Posted by: cinekat at May 10, 2010 7:35 AM

Phaeolus, I did not know that about KU's alma mater! (Another proud alum here.) I'll bet that Cornell doesn't finish THEIR version off with the Rock Chalk Chant, though. K.U. also has a fight song -- "I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay Jay Jayhawk, blah blah blah blah, etc." I don't remember the words.

My high school also had a school song and a fight song, both pretty lame. I only remember the first part of the school song:

Here's to our Hayden Wildcats,
The team that will do or die.
To you we will be loyal
Although the score be low or high.
Here's to our lads and lassies
Striving with their main and might
To reach up for the highest good
And honor and virtue bright.

It goes on in that vein for a while, but that's all I remember, and frankly I'm amazed that that much has stuck with me all these years.

Late (as usual) to the party. Here's the HS fight song:

We're loyal to you, William Floyd
We're courage & fight, William Floyd
We'll back you to stand
'gainst the best in the land
'cos we know you've got might, William Floyd

So crack out the ball, William Floyd
Go crashing ahead, William Floyd
Our team is our fame protector
Our boys, 'cos we expect a
Touchdown from you, William Floyd!

In case you couldn't figure it out, I went to William Floyd High School, in a little backwater town on the east end of Long Island. Yes, it's a real place. The schools were all named after NY signers of the Declaration of Independence and a Revolutionary War battle was fought there. We had a number of creepy very old cemeteries.

This song was useless at basketball games and track meets.

Posted by: Captain Tuttle at May 10, 2010 2:12 PM

I remember my elementary school song! George Mather Forbes for the win!

"The colors of maroon and gold
Are gleaming in life's shadows
The light of the world lies
Inside these walls
So shine on, George Mather Forbes,
So shine on, forever more!
And let those bells ring loud and clear
for George Mather Forbes!"

I always thought that one was really pretty.

I don't remember my high school's official song, and I can only remember the last line of the fight song...

"For blue and white, fight fight!"

In the world of Trance Music, the term trance covers a lot of territory. Some trance music, like that of Armin van Buuren or Tiesto, sounds very close to Classical music. BT and Paul Oakenfold create music that is equally at home on the dance floor, in the car, or at home on headphones. At the other end of the spectrum, artists like Sasha and William Orbit are pushing the boundaries of popular electronic music with their more abstract trance music .

I Absolutely Adore My Orbit Stroller!! I invested a number of hrs looking through the net, going to retail shops, along with speaking with quite a few experienced mums about well known strollers such as Bugaboo before buying the Orbit Baby Stroller. It was the one stroller that caught my eye along with it'scool design. I absolutely fell in love with the rotating perspective of the car seat from frontwards to backwards and sideways and must have rotated my son 15 times in the course of our 1st walk we took to get his eyes out of the bright sun light or away from cool breeze. It was easy, simply just squeeze and rotate. There is a good article I read that has a very great review of the Orbit Stroller... Orbit Strollers

I will need to google about few things you have mentioned in your artcile to make sure. But anyway thanks for taking your time to write intresting artciles and good luck on writing other articles. P.S sorry for bad English, I aren't English native speaker.

I have always been interested in Navy SEALs and although I couldn't enlist, I bought myself a cool Navy SEAL watch. Girls pay much more attention to me now. =)
Concerning the topic, I should say that I couldn't agree more. You have just confirmed the guesses I had.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

You got fantastic nice ideas there. I made a research on the topic and got most peoples will agree with your blog.

Posted by: cheap Zithromax canada at January 28, 2011 2:02 PM

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Looks like she have some serious psychologic issues to deal with, as this behaviour is far from expected from a influential celebrity like her. The recent news are awful, she got in trouble again... again.

I feel like you could probably teach a class on how to make a great blog. This is fantastic! I have to say, what really got me was your design. You certainly know how to make your blog more than just a rant about an issue. Youve made it possible for people to connect. Good for you, because not that many people know what theyre doing.

Posted by: Gregory at February 11, 2011 12:29 AM

What I want to know is why I should care? I mean, not to say that what youve got to say isnt important, but I mean, its so generic. Everyones talking about this man. Give us something more, something that we can get behind so we can feel as passionately about it as you do.

Good tips, Im embarassed to admit I had no idea about the Outlook/background-image shamozzle before you mentioned it. BookmarkdIve also found it easier to just stack tables on top of each other instead of getting tricky with colspans and crap. Break it into sections if you can and be done, FTDS
