"I'm a Tar Heel Born" is the official fight song of the University of North Carolina.
It originated in the late 1800s or early 1900s as an add-on (or "tag") to the school's alma mater, "Hark The Sound".
[3] Today, the song is almost always played immediately after the singing of "Hark The Sound", even during more formal occasions such as convocation and commencement.
However, it is the Duke variation that has become popular in recent years, especially among younger fans unaware of past tradition.
Also, during the Tar Heels' unexpected run to the 2000 Final Four, students replaced the last line with Go to hell, Florida!
