The Colorado State University Fight Song, as it appears below, has been the official fight song for Colorado State University since 1957 when the school changed from Colorado A&M. Features of its uniqueness include the use of the word "stalwart," meaning unrelenting and full of ardor, and the third line of the song. It allows the fight song to be adapted for each game, from "tear the Buffaloes' line asunder" to "tear the Cowboys' line asunder."
The CSU Fight Song is commonly followed immediately by the "Spell Yell," a song in which the band and fans spell the word "rams."

Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue buses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.”
