Oh, no wait, that`s Ohio State and I never actuakly went to school there. I don`t know that my school had a fight song. We barely had any athletes.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I know the anthems of several countries but mostly just instrumentals. I watch Formula One, if there is a winning team - either team or driver - I've heard their anthem. Ferrari over the years just ensured I know Italy's best. I can do the bum bum bum part of the Italian with fist pumps too. And, oddly, I can sing Oh Canada over it (starting around the 30 second mark) for a while. I mostly blame Michael Schumacher. Well, for the fist pumps. For the part where I stupidly sing Oh Canada over and over, I blame that the races start before 5 a.m. and that's not ideal brain time.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
allow me to present the surreal lunacy of my school's cheer:
Yaragobi yaragobi yaragobi yunga
Taraweera taraweera taraweera munga
Yaragobi yaragobi ya mundu; Edmunds Edmunds, blue white blue.
Ya, ya, ango ya, ango popigo, taraweera wopigo
E – D – M – U – N – D – S… EDMUNDS!!!
We're very proud.

Skipping yet again because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Miracleman's birthday.
Happy birthday, MM! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy birthday, MM!
I'm a tarheel born
And a tarheel bred
And when I die
I'm a tarheel dead.
Bum badda bum badda bum badda bum badda bum
Go tarheels!
Bum badda bum badda bum badda bum badda bum
Go tarheels!
My school's fight song, ladies and gentlemen. UNC-Chapel Hill threatens the opposition with zombie alumni. Our main rival, Duke, has devils in theirs. It's all very supernatural in NC collegiate sports.

My alma mater is in Greek. That means I win, right?
Sophia philae paromen
philokaloumen
met'eutelias
philosophoumen...
The words are adapted from Pericles' funeral oration.
Our fight song is in Greek, too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Calli, you forgot the best part!
Rah rah, Carolina-lina, rah rah, Carolina-lina, rah rah Carolina-lina, GO TO HELL STATE!!
The Alma mater starts with "Hark the sound of Tar Heel voices, ringing clear and true" but that's all I remember.

The only song I can associate with my alma mater is "Muddy Water" by the Standells, because the dorm specified in the song is supposedly the one I lived in Junior year.

Eureka! I think otaheite apples are the fruit I fell in love with when we went to Jamaica when I was about 14. Boys were selling them by the side of the road and I kept getting my father to stop so I could have another one.
From memory:
On the city's western border
Reared against the sky
Proudly stands our alma mater
As the years roll by.
Forward ever be our watchword.
Conquer and prevail!
Hail to thee, our alma mater
Vanderbilt all hail!
Of course, it's no longer on the city's western border, but it was in 1873.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, MM!
I would have thought I knew my alma mater, but no. It is none of the regularly-sung songs.
