  • As a British bloke all I can say is...MARVELLOUS

    Got to hand it to you americans,patriotic and proud.

  • When my family went back to Georgetown, KY in 2004 to bury my Grandma every car and person on the street stopped as our funeral procession passed by. In all my years I had never seen anything like it. Watching this video simply reinforces to me how special the Commonwealth is.

  • Was there when this occurred, as I have been for every Senior Day since Rupp Arena opened in 1976. "Happy" loved UK & UK Basketball. He was also responsible for the CHANDLER Medical Center & College of Medicine @ UK becoming a reality. Contrary to history revisionists, the MOKH, Chandler, nor Coach Rupp were racist. This is abundantly clear to anyone interested in the FACTS, and not PC rhetoric.

  • I'm from new jersey every time i hear my old kentucky home i almost break a tear to my eyes love this song Go Wildcats Love Kentucky

  • Love this song almost makes me cry love the state song Go Wildcats

  • @fredsevent Was this the last time he sang to them, was this a sort of tradition, singing to the outgoing seniors. He was around 90 at the time.

  • I was in the crowd the day this was recorded - I cried then and I cried now.

  • GOD Bless America and GOD Bless My Old Kentucky Home and this Kentucky boy Bleeds Blue go Wildcats.

  • For those who say it is racist to use the word "darkies", consider the following: Stephen Collins Foster, the man who wrote the song, was not particular fan of slavery. "My Old Kentucky Home" was perhaps the closest that a song writer living and working in the South could come to producing an anti-slavery song--Frederick Douglass thought so. The song is about a slave being sold down the river, away from friends and family. You take out "darkies" and it seems a happy song about a pretty place.

  • @sunnitisttod They closed you account because your a dumb ass

  • RAcist song. 

  • thank you happy
