By jove! I consider this posting ironic because I'm the creator of my playlist "NCAA Division 1 Fight Song Sing Alongs" I create my own fight songs; Maine was first, THEN Georgia Tech. (Today was the first time I saw this vid. Coincidence?)
Anyhow, I like this- it is better than the animated Paramount Screen Song "The Goal Rush."
Hey we're a new band from Los Angeles called Hopes High! We recorded our up and coming EP in the same studio as All Time Low, The Maine, Forever The Sickest Kids, and 3OH!3
Check us out and let us know if you like us :) Hope to make some new friends :)
@craigclarke I certainly hope they didn't make it gender neutral, because, I remember a time when I was there in the late '80s, and some math professor wanted to take out gender reference and anything related to alcohol, and I thought the alumni were going to storm the campus and burn down Neville Hall with him strapped to the wall!
@navendra Hmmm... I am, alas! a lot older than you, and I have always heard "heck," but the earliest printed version does seem to indicate "hell" (that is, it has blanks, which would have been exaggerated for "heck" even in 1908). I can only suppose that an engineering school doesn't care about internal rhyme. Still, as a Bulldawg, I have to admit that y'all's lyric is a heckuva (or helluva) lot better than "Glory, glory to old Georgia, G-E-O-R-G-I-A" (which is just embarassing).

Great fight songs. Georgia Tech's is the best in the country, I think. Even though I went to a school up the road (Clemson), I still love to hear it..Go Tigers!!
I'm a Maine graduate and just saw in one of the posts that the campus has gone dry again. It was (technically, anyway) dry until, I believe, 1970(?). I recall that one of the fraternity snow sculptures at the winter carnival in 1969 was "Fill the stein in '69". Nice clip and thanks for sharing.
Go Maine! Ironic, a school whose fight song is a drinking song went to a dry campus in the 80's...is it still dry, or can you get a pitcher at the Bear's Den again??
One of these songs is cute, snappy, and appropriate at football games and parades. I like it. The other song was written by men of great genius and sensitivity. It has a great deal of alcohol on board without compromising its style. Let every loyal Maine man sing. Many of them went on to be a hell of an engineer.
One says "hell of an engineer" nowadays, not to mention more (obscene) verses have been added.
This clip is obviously a musical interpretation of the two fight songs put together. What Maine and Tech have in common beats me. The only important part to any clip/song/chant involving TECH is of course: TO HELL WITH GEORGIA.
I can't believe you found this!! I love this song!! It is the most kick butt, most coolest, most politically incorrect school song and I am proud to be an alum. You should hear it sung in the field house. It's shakes the rafters. . .
According to imdb.com, the short movie (10 minutes) was "Let's Sing a College Song," 1947.
As a UMaine grad, The Stein Song is always been a favorite of mine. When Rudy Vallee released it in 1930, it became and still is the only college song ever to top the record charts.
It is interesting because when I found this video, it was only marked as "I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech." Being a Tech fan, I knew the first part obviously was not from our fight song. So, I listened for some of the lyrics and googled a few of the phrases. That is how I discovered it was the Maine song and I then labeled this video as such. I had never heard of the Maine song before, but it is a cool fight song.

They got the Georgia Tech ratio all wrong. Today there'd be two guys to every lady. Back then the ratio would have been even more lopsided.

@navendra then come today, hell is okay and referring to men only in the Maine song is bad as they made it gender neutral

At Georgia Tech, it's doubly unnecessary.

@navendra Umm...I think the point is that "heck" rhymes with "wreck" and "Tech" and "hell" doesn't.

Oh, fill the steins to dear old Maine
Shout till the rafters ring
Stand and drink a toast once again

Drink to the careless days
Drink to Maine, our alma mater
The college of our hearts always

He released it in 1930? I thought it was from the 1920s. But I guess 1930 is kind of an extension of the 1920s.
