The Worst College Fight Song

It's college football season, as you might have heard.

Millions of people across the country are right now painting themselves up in school colors and getting inappropriately drunk on cheap beer, "pre-gaming" for a few hours of entertainment either in the stadium or in front of a TV. I don't have anything against college football and I don't care enough about it to have an opinion about the much-maligned BCS, but even a casual viewer like me couldn't miss the fight songs.

Like anything else, some of them are good and some are bad. Southern Methodist University's is set to the tune "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" and is easily the most pathetic, while Notre Dame's is probably the most recognizable.


But who could have the worst? Honorable mention goes to The University of Texas's "Texas Fight" (which is just "Taps," faster), but Oklahoma University gets the prize.

Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner,
Boomer Sooner, O-K-U!

Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, O-K-U!

I'm a Sooner born
And a Sooner bred,
And when I die
I'll be Sooner dead.

Rah, Oklahoma! Rah, Oklahoma!
Rah, Oklahoma! O-K-U!
.

Forty-six words, counting acronyms and contractions as one word, making 59% of the song "Boomer," "Sooner" or "Oklahoma." So, if you ever get tripped up singing it, you can never say nobody ever gave you a hint.

I promise I'm not discriminating on OU because their mascot is pathetic and I hate it, mostly because it's still not as weak as the Cleavland Browns'.
