Stand up and Cheer (Fight song of Ohio, WKU, Montana St. and SEMO)

[MrBoxman29]

@Rexkwondotyger I agree with you, did you see the play vs Sam Houston where the catch was caught with one hand and on his helmet?

[observer9670]

One correction: The line in WKU's fight song should be "The red and white above the Heights". "Heights" refers to "College Heights", the name of the hill that the main campus in Bowling Green is on - yes they actually ARE "Hilltoppers"!

[excelsior27]

@observer9670 Unfortunately, I go by what the athletic or academic websites show me, so, the lyrics I have now are also found on the WKU academic site.

Sorry, can't change.

Go CATS GO! (Montana State)

SEMO can enjoy its generic fight song while Murray State whips them in basketball this year with an ORiGINAL fight song.

Ohio University Founded in 1804. Im pretty sure we were here before all you guys

[arp1296]

this is my school's song, OHCHS (:

[TheDapperdan75]

@excelsior27 You ought to reply to 1mizzoufan so that his lyrics for SE Missouri St. can be seen by all in your "uploader comments" section. Or we can just hope that viewers will keep his comment voted up in the top comment area. Otherwise it will be buried on the last page of the "all comments" section where it won't likely be read as easily.

This is also the fight song for South Charleston High School in Charleston, WV

[Avalanche19100]

its funny how ive never herd of the last 2 schools post something worth watching

[RyanL106]

This is also the University of North Dakota's fight song

[14Hodges]

If Ohio's fight song is in this key, then NCAA football 08 accidentally gave them the Western Kentucky version

[Rakshasa]

@14Hodges In performances, they play it twice, once in the "Ohio" key before moving up to the "Western" key. I'm not exactly a musician, if you couldn't tell. ;) NCAA just used the second half of the song, probably so they could have the flourish at the end of it.

[perimeterpost]

interesting that there are only 3 universities in the US that have the Bobcat as their mascot (Ohio, Montana State and Texas State) and 2 of them have the same fight song. Ohio of course is the original, founded nearly a century before the other two. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. GO OHIO.

[Sgt5Pepper]

ohio university was founded in 1804

[MegaObserver1]

When I was going to WKU in the 70's, the line was "For today we raise the red and white above the Heights." "Heights" was a reference to the hill in Bowling Green known as "College Heights", where WKU got the nickname Hilltoppers from. It is actually located on a hill. At the top of the hill is a statue of the school's founder with the motto "The Spirit Makes The Master." We students thought it should have been "The Master Makes Spirits" ;-).

[lhsdrumline2013]

you should try to fix it if you cant then either make a new video or just make a note about it

[lhsdrumline2013]

hey on ohio universitys its we are bound to win this fray not we are bound to win this game... just thought i would let you know!

[excelsior27]

@lhsdrumline2013: Okay, so you are right, it is almost exactly like WKU's lyrics then -checked Ohio's athletic website.

(Darn, now what should I do-my time is limited in updating this vid now...)

[bluejacketsman86]

Mon. St. lyrics is the same as my high school... SEMO sounds the same. Stand Up and Cheer Cheer for dear old Hayes High For today we rise our flag above all others (dun dun dun) Stand Up and Cheer, our boys are sure to win we got the vim, we want to win, for dear old Hayes High School GO HAYES!!!

[brian8556]

Who had it first. KU had it when they were made and I think they were made before any of these schools. KU was made in 1863. Were Columbia, Ohio, WKU, Montana St. or S.E. Missouri made before 1863?

[tvdirectortom]

@brian8556 Don't know when we adopted this fight song, but Ohio University was chartered in 1787 and founded in 1804. It is the oldest public university in the old Northwest Territory.

[2010wnbck]

Ohio University used Stand up and cheer for the first time in 1910.It was written by a music director from Princeton who had become the director of Ohio University

[1mizzoufan]

Actually, this song was originally created for the University of Kansas as a Fight Song, But I'm A Jayhawk is their official fight song and this is a secondary one.

[winghaz]

Also played by the University of North Dakota and many other colleges.

[excelsior27]

Well, I have heard, but what this video shows is that it has all the universitites that use the song as their main fight song. I know Kansas does not use it as their main fight song. UND is likely, but I have huge doubts.
