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

I like that song tbh. I like that part about that girl who is half mink, the other half cat...she sounds fun

and the part about them federal agents snooping around, looking to bust up some moonshine stills. They dead now, buried somewhere up in them mountains.

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.

Is that supposed to be an insult? Kinda like how you all have adopted a checkerboard from your rival school? S’cute.

We have a uniquely iconic fight song. I’m sorry you don’t like it and hope you can get over it, dude.

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
