**This is very different from lyrics to a current pop tune. Under U.S. law these lyrics would have entered the public domain long ago (if they were ever copyrighted in the first place). Furthermore, with the number of schools around the world that have adopted the tune and variations of the lyrics. I think this is, if not ''sui generis'', at least so different than other examples of the use of lyrics that it is not within the scope anticipated by [[WP:NOT]]. -- [[User:DS1953|DS1953]] <sup><font color="green">[[User_talk:DS1953|talk]]</font></sup> 17:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC) |

Please, let's try to keep the mention of the song as "one of the most popular..." in accordance with [[WP:NPOV]]. Just because one professor thinks it is the best, doesn't mean this encyclopedia should say it is the best. --[[User:ZimZalaBim|ZimZalaBim]] ([[User talk:ZimZalaBim|talk]]) 14:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC) |

Public High Schools use of the tune
I graduated from a public high school, Ballard High School (Louisville), that at the time, (I graduated in 1974), used the tune for its fight song. I have no idea if it is still used by Ballard. I understand that other public schools use it as well. --rogerd 04:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

NPOV
Please, let's try to keep the mention of the song as "one of the most popular..." in accordance with WP:NPOV. Just because one professor thinks it is the best, doesn't mean this encyclopedia should say it is the best. --ZimZalaBim (talk) 14:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
