Rocky Top
I’m sure it’s been discussed on here before, but am the only one who gets nostalgic hearing this when you watch a Tennessee game? Probably my favorite fight song behind Florida’s. (And yes I know “Down the Field” is their traditional fight song)

I don’t believe it’s a fight song
Oh you totally said that. My b. I read at a South Carolina level
It’s ok the first two or three times. By the 900th time it’s annoying

Corn don't grow at all on ol' rockytop, l get my corn from a jar.
Seems about right, except they leave out the butt-chugging part.

Typical Tennessee...stealing more shite from Kentucky. Old bluegrass tune written by Kentuckians. We also had checkerboard end zones first. And Tennessee whiskey is piss compared to fine Kentucky bourbon.

It wasn't created as a UT fight song, so it' isn't, they just adopted it later.

"Rocky Top" is awesome.

If you're gay and you wear creamsicle regularly, sure.

Isn't Rocky Top a generic Country & Western song that Tenn kinda adapted as their fight song thru repeated use
It isn't like Rocky Top has any legit connection to the University or does it?

BTW, these are the best Fight Songs in CFB:
Hail to the Victors - clearly the best fight song and no one else is close
Fight On
Notre Dame Victory March - recognized everywhere on this planet
Anchors Aweigh
Air Force Academy Fight Song
UNC's fight song - mainly due to Basketball & hearing it often at the ACC Tourney
Boomer Sooner
War Eagle
Eyes of Texas - isn't the fight song, but it deserves recognition
As far as the worst-corniest-cheesiest fight songs:
Ohio State
Texas A&M
Yea Alabama
Tiger Rag

But when you play it so many times at each game it loses its luster.
How Many Times Will You Hear Rocky Top?
34 renditions a game. Just too much.

According to the Tennessean, it's a band tradition for a senior trombone player to keep track of how often the marching band plays "Rocky Top" each season. During the 2016 season, the report said, the Pride of the Southland Band played it 438 times.

It is maybe the best fight song. I love it

It pains me to admit it, but in principle I actually like Rocky Top. It is musically a great song. I prefer a bluegrass band version to a marching band, but apart from that I have no legitimate critique of it.
