- Washington_and_Lee_Swing abstract "Washington and Lee Swing is the official fight song of Washington & Lee University. Before it morphed into a swing, Dixieland and bluegrass standard, "The Washington and Lee Swing" was one of the most well known — and widely borrowed — football marches ever written, according to Robert Lissauer's Encyclopedia of Popular Music in America. Schools and colleges from Tulane to Slippery Rock to Gonzaga to Iowa State copied it (sometimes with attribution). It was written in 1910 by Mark W. Sheafe, class of 1906, Clarence A. (Tod) Robbins, class of 1911, and Thornton W. Allen, class of 1913. It has been recorded by virtually every important jazz and swing musician, including Glenn Miller (with Tex Beneke on vocals), Louis Armstrong, Kay Kyser, Hal Kemp and the Dukes of Dixieland. "The Swing" was a trademark of the New Orleans showman Pete Fountain. The trumpeter Red Nichols played it (and Danny Kaye pretended to play it) in the 1959 movie The Five Pennies. (There is an audio excerpt from a 1944 recording by Jan Garber, a prominent dance-band leader of the era. School song from D & D's Music Hall.)The "Swing" was parodied in "The Dummy Song" by Lew Brown and Ray Henderson. "Dummy" was recorded by NRBQ, Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima and Glenn Miller's vocal jazz group, the Modernaires, among many others, and was used in the movie You've Got Mail.It is a popular fight song of many schools, including: Arthur Hill High School (Saginaw, MI) Benedictine Military School (Savannah, GA) Broken Arrow High School (Broken Arrow, OK) Brookville High School (Brookville, OH) Brookville High School (Lynchburg, VA) * Canyon High School (Anaheim, CA) Charles F.

Pfister, for Camp Rotary Boy Scout Camp near Clare, Michigan.Comparisons between "Washington and Lee Swing" and "Zacatecas March" have included allegations that "Washington and Lee Swing" was heavily influenced by (or even originally outright borrowed from) that earlier Mexican march, which had been written in 1891 by Genaro Codino.".
