University of Oklahoma (thanks to Ryan Lemons) ---------------------- Many outsiders assume that the only song of the University of Oklahoma is the infamous "Boomer Sooner." While this may be the most hated song in the entire state of Nebraska, there are many other tunes that represent the University of Oklahoma. Numerous fight songs have been composed and submitted to the university over the last century, and the following tunes are still sung and played today. BOOMER SOONER Arthur M. Alden, a student of history and physiology and the son of a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the Oklahoma's "Boomer Sooner" in 1905. He borrowed the tune from Yale University's "Boola Boola," but improvised the words. A year later, an addition was made to the song that was roughly based on North Carolina 's "Tarheels are Great." The combination of these two forms Oklahoma's battle song as Sooners know it today. 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 a Sooner dead! Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma, O-K-U! THE O.U. CHANT The O.U. Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after basketball games, and at the end of many other athletic and academic university functions. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lane Clarkson, who directed the O.U. girl's glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937. The first line of the song is similar to the "Rock-Chalk Jayhawk" chant of Kansas and the last line has become a popular slogan for the university. Every fan in crimson and cream, current students, and O.U. alumni are encouraged to stand and raise their index finger in the air during the singing of the Chant the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater's praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White 'Neath a western sky OU's chant will never die. Live on, University! O.K. OKLAHOMA In 1939, the University of Oklahoma commissioned Fred Waring to write an additional fight song for the Sooners. "O.K. Oklahoma" premiered in a live broadcast on December 1, 1939. Since then it has continued to be a part of Oklahoma football games. Today, it is played as the football team scores extra points after a touchdown and the Sooner Schooner rolls onto the field. O.K. Oklahoma, K.O. the foe today. We say O.K. Oklahoma, the Sooners know the way. 'Ray! S double-O-N-E-R-S! We'll win today or miss our guess. O.K. Oklahoma, K.O. the foe today. We'll march down the field with our heads held high, Determined to win any battle we're in, We'll fight with all our might for the Red and White. March on, march on down the field for a victory is nigh. You know we came to win the game for Oklahoma, And so we will or know the reason why! We'll march down the field with our heads held high, With ev'ry resource we'll hold to the course, And pledge our heart and soul to reach the goal. March on, march on down the field as we sing the battle cry. Dig in and fight for the Red and White of Oklahoma, So we'll take home a victory or die! FIGHT FOR O.K.U. Leonard Haug, who directed the Pride of Oklahoma from 1945 to 1962, composed "Fight for O.K.U." using parts of the melody of "Boomer Sooner." Oklahoma, Oklahoma Marching on to victory Oklahoma, Oklahoma Red and White we're proud of thee Ever singing victory bringing For the school we're loyal to Give a cheer! Rah! Rah! For the team! Rah! Rah! As we fight for O-K-U! Fight, fight, fight, Show the team we're here! Yell, yell, yell, Give a mighty cheer! O- K-L-A-H-O-M-A OKLAHOMA! To create the musical Oklahoma!, Rodgers and Hammerstein added lyrics, music and dance to a play written by Lynn Riggs, who was a native of Claremore, Oklahoma and an O.U. graduate. The title song of the revolutionary musical was adopted by the State of Oklahoma as its official song and anthem on May 6th, 1953. Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet When the wind comes right behind the rain. Oklahoma, ev'ry night my honey lamb and I Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk Makin' lazy circles in the sky. We know we belong to the land And the land we belong to is grand! And when we say Yeeow! A-yip-i-o-ee-ay! We're only sayin' You're doin' fine, Oklahoma! Oklahoma O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A OKLAHOMA! OKLAHOMA HAIL! "Oklahoma Hail!" is the original Oklahoma alma mater song. Louise B. Adams wrote the words and R. H. Richards arranged the tune, which is a Welsh air called "Men of Harlech." It was performed as early as 1928. [First Verse] From the hillsides, from the prairies, Comes a song that never wearies Loyalty that never varies. Oklahoma, hail! Ivied walls and stately towers, Campus fair 'neath sun or showers, All the love we bear thee flowers And will never fail. [Chorus] Shout the chorus loudly Bear the emblem proudly Army vast, we march at last And lift our voices stoutly. On we march for Alma Mater, On we march nor ever falter Singing loud, each son and daughter, Oklahoma, hail! [Second Verse] From thy gracious font of learning, We will quench our thirst so burning Kindly Mother to thee turning. Oklahoma, hail! Wisdom brought from out the ages, Truth of saints and laws of sages Ours to take from glitt'ring pages, Never growing stale. [Chorus] DON'T SEND MY BOY TO TEXAS This popular college tune has long been sung by O.U. students and is regularly sung by the RUF/NEKS, an O.U. spirit group. "Don't send my boy to Texas!" The dying mother said. "Don't send my boy to Texas! I'd rather see him dead! So send him to Missouri Or better yet OU. OU! Don't send my boy to OSU For that would never do!"

HAil, Alma Mater, with her White and BLue! Penn State forever! Molder of men. Fight for her honor (FIGHT!) and victory again! (origional second verse- c. 1912) 2.) There's Pittsburgh with its Panthers, and Penn her Red and Blue, Dartmouth with its Indians, and Yale her Bulldogs, too. There's Princeton with its Tigers, and Cornell with it Bears, But speaking now of victory, we'll get the lion's share! CHORUS (big ten verse, 1993) 3.) Indiana has its Hoosiers Purdue its Gold and Black. The Wildcats from Northwestern, and Spartans on attack. Ohio State has it Buckeyes, up north, the Wolverines. But the mighty Nittany Lion's The Best they've ever seen! CHORUS There's also another verse, written in the 50's, mentioning Notre Dame, Army, Syracuse, and other opponents of the time. It's always been rarely sung, though.
