"Texas Fight" is the official fight song of the University of Texas at Austin and was written by Colonel Walter S. Hunnicutt in collaboration with James E. King, then director of the Marlin High School Band.[1][2] The words, as finally adopted by the school, were written by Burnett “Blondie” Pharr, the director of the Longhorn Band from 1917-37.[3]
It is sung to a fast tempo version Taps, a song played at many military funerals.[1] "Texas Fight" is played following touchdowns and extra points at University of Texas (UT) football games, other Longhorn sports events, as well as on other occasions of celebration.[1][4] The repeated strain contains portions of "The Eyes of Texas," the school's alma mater.[1]
