Every great football team needs a hard-hitting fight song. Every high school has one, every college has one, and some National Football League teams have 'em. It's a great and easy way to support the team and remind the crowd which team just got the touchdown. This isn't just limited to football; most competitive sports (usually ball games) will have this played with each point scored. There are two types of songs. The most common one heard is the actual Fight Song, which is usually short, sweet, and to the point. The lyrics are memorable, very upbeat, and is normally played as loud as possible. This is typically the song that is played for every touchdown. The other version of this is the School Song. Compared to its brother, this is played before and after the game in order to show off the overall school spirit to the other team. The lyrics aren't quite as memorable, but much stronger in essence. The key to a good school song is having the tune be both happy and sad; if the game is won, it is meant to let the players take a deep breath and look over their success. If the game was lost, it's a more reassuring tone, reminding that one loss isn't the end of the world, and that the experiences should teach them how to better themselves, not just learn how to win. Despite how epic some of these songs are, the people who play these songs will still be bullied Monday morning. See also Alma Mater Song and Music at Sporting Events for more general information. Often intersects with Bragging Theme Tune. |

The theme song of Coach was the instrumental version of the fight song of the team run by the titular coaches, the Minnesota State Screaming Eagles. The song itself was only sung in full when the team celebrated a win (Which happened so infrequently that nobody - not even the coaches - remembers more than the first two lines). | |

A medley of "On, Wisconsin" (the University of Wisconsin's fight song) and "Fight On" (the University of Southern California's fight song) can be heard in Disney's Robin Hood (1973) during a scene in which Lady Kluck is plowing through Prince John's guards on her way to the forest in a method very reminiscent of a linebacker charging for the goal. | |

The Unseen University Master of Music attempts to compose one in Unseen Academicals. It's explained to him that this isn't how it works; the chants are generated spontaneously by the crowd, and a multi-part round in Latatian isn't exactly the sort of thing they go for anyway. | |

According to Muppets Tonight, Gonzo went to college, and the college had a fight song. It mainly consisted of reciting the college's full (and absurdly long) name. | |
