Yeah and the chomp music is from Jaws, MANY other schools use the “it’s great to be...” chant, and other schools’ bands use the “get up and go” song. Who cares?Unfortunately we aren't the only school that uses that song...Among others, Nebraska has basically the exact same lyric and tune. If their source is correct, they may have even had it before us.
Dear Old Nebraska U (There Is No Place Like Nebraska)
Words and Music by Harry Pecha, class of 1924
There is no place like Nebraska,
Dear old Nebraska U.
Where the girls are the fairest,
The boys are the squarest,
Of any old school that I knew.
There is no place like Nebraska,
Where they're all true blue.
We'll all stick together,
In all kinds of weather,
For dear old Nebraska U.
