Fight Song
Although it is the most
famous song played by the Pride,
"
Rocky Top" is not the official fight song
for the university. "Rocky Top" was written in only
ten minutes by songwriters
Felice and Boudleaux
Bryant in
1967. The
Bryants were working in
Gatlinburg
on a collection of
slow-tempo songs for a project for
Archie Campbell and
Chet Atkins. Writing the fast-paced "Rocky
Top" served as a temporary diversion for them.
Known elsewhere in the United States as a bluegrass
tune, the song did not become immensely popular
until after
1972 when
the Pride used it for one of their drills. The
football crowd loved the tune and its words; the
more the band played it, the more people wanted it.
It has now become one of UT's best-known
traditions. Its popularity extends beyond the
campus of the University of Tennessee; "Rocky Top"
became one of the Tennessee state songs in
1982.From Wikipedia, the free
