It's funny that Nevada,Tennessee and Yale have the same fight songs

A lot of college fight songs seemed to come from other (or be influenced by) other songs around the time.

There are several that come from elsewhere. Just off the top of my head:

-------------------------
Georgia's "Glory, Glory" (1890s or 1915):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFDB7mpm990[/youtube]

Clearly uses a faster "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1856 or 1861):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jRnL6fRdcc[/youtube]

---------------------------

Texas's "Texas Fight"

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTUJSEFKSBE[/youtube]

Uses part of a fast version of "Taps," (1862 or 1874) "You're a Grand Old Flag," (1906) as well as a little bit of "I've been working on the railroad" (1894)

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WChTqYlDjtI [/youtube]
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXFqyVTuYzI[/youtube]

(everyone knows the last one)

-----------------------------

Oklahoma's "Boomer Sooner" (1905 ):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMT0NQOEReE[/youtube]

Gets part of its tune from Yale's "Boola Boola" (1900)

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYu6UkED45Q[/youtube]

Which in turn is based on "La Hoola Boola" (1898).

Oklahoma also added a part based on North Carolina's "I'm a Tar Heel Born"

----------------------------------------

[COLOR=“Red”]South Carolina’s[/color] "The Fighting Gamecocks Lead the Way” (1968):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEhZaF7E5tw[/youtube]

Uses the melody of “Step to the Rear” from the Broadway musical “How Now, Dow Jones.” (1967):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDMqDv6eXiU[/youtube]





-------------------------------

Texas A&M's fight song the "Aggie War Hymn" (~1919):

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3XkxbIQ_Mo[/youtube]

Ends with the chorus of "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" (1986), albeit with different lyrics:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EanT30-NBc0[/youtube]


And in an inversion, the song "Goodbye, My Coney Island Baby” actually came after (1926): starts around (26 seconds)

They pretty much have the same tune and the same words. So what's silly about comparing them?

They're the same tune. UT got it from Yale.
