Is it just me, or does it sound exactly like the end of the War Hymn ("Late one night while the t-sips were in bed...")?

Called "Hot time"...I posted the same thing.
Same as my HS fight song.
That song is old as the hills. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/There'll_Be_a_Hot_Time_in_the_Old_Town_Tonight
That's not their fight song. Their fight song is "On Wisconsin". "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" is simply what they play after TD's but it's not their fight song.
and they sing
And when you say Wis-consin, you've said it all.
sang to the Budweiser tune.

bingo
On Wisconson has, however, been duplicated by many schools across the nation
On Wisconsin is my HS's fight song.
That link is horrifying...
That link needs more Kristen Wiig.
And On Wisconsin was my high school's fight song too.

This always reminds me of an A&M-SEC mixture...

I went to uw for grad school. On Wisconsin is a great fight song, and they play the "hot time" bit at the end of it and after tds as mentioned by a previous poster. It's copied all over the place
My high school fight song, too!
"On, Wisconsin" may be the most popular (counting high schools) fight song in the universe (not "Wake Up The Echoes"--ND, or "Hail To The Victors"--Michigan, or some of the other popular ones).
If you had a dollar for every school that shares Wisconsin's fight song, you'd have a fair chunk of change there!

I think that ucla also plays hot time as well.
Southlake Carroll fight song too.
"Hot Time" has also been adopted, quite appropriately, by the fans of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.
But it was actually a creation of the University of Michigan.

I think k. State does also.

Actually, I think it was originally a popular song plyed at Parks and parades before Michigan started using it.
Ny high school fight song too.
Lamar Cons. Fight song
They even play it at Disneyland Mainstreet over the speakers
its sad.. my wife is a 5th gen ag and she couldn't tell me what the name of the song was. i was disappointed. but at least she could sing the words..
Singing words to "Hot Time" at A&M is a very new addition. I was greatly surprised to hear it at a recent football game.
And the entire War Hymn is a mish mash of songs that were popular in the 1920s, including the base Goodbye, my Coney Island Baby. Here it is on You Tube.
One of the best articles on the origins of the War Hymn is this one written by Patrick Harris '69.

At quiet times, on airline flights or sitting in long meetings, the subject creeps up on my easily digressed mind and me. Where the hell did all the pieces of the Aggie War Hymn come from and why does it have the hold it has over those lucky enough to be Ags, or luckier still to be in the Band? I have a few Aggie books, and I don't think I've ever seen anything that remotely begins to explain it (beyond: "Pinky Wilson wrote it". And he didn't write the music. He did better than that. He stole it, which is appropriate, right and just.) Why is all this overlooked? It's a rich, eclectic gathering of stuff that makes one of the great raucous incitements to riot ever put to music....
Kansas plays a slowed down version of Hot Time, too.
Can anyone post the lyrics to the Aggie version of Hot Time? I don't think I've ever seen or known them all.
Trivia from wikipedia:
quote:
The tune was composed in 1909 by William T. Purdy, with the intention of entering it into a competition for a new fight song at the University of Minnesota.
Carl Beck, a former University of Wisconsin–Madison student, convinced him to withdraw it from the contest at the last minute and allow his alma mater to use it instead. Beck then wrote the original, football-oriented lyrics, changing the words "Minnesota, Minnesota" to "On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!".
quote:
"A Hot Time in the Old Town" is an American ragtime song, composed in 1896 by Theodore August Metz with lyrics by Joe Hayden. Metz was the band leader of the McIntyre and Heath Minstrels.
The song was a favorite of the American military at the turn of the 20th century, particularly during the Spanish-American War and the Boxer Rebellion.
Prior to the adoption of "The Victors" as the University of Michigan's official fight song, it was considered to be Michigan's school song.
The fight song of Texas A&M University currently uses the chorus of this song as its finale, but it is sung with different lyrics.
I hate Wikipedia, but this is its history.
We’re the Fightin’ TEXAS AGGIES, dammit!
