The song gained popularity when the campus glee club traveled to Europe where the song was a hit and it continues to be a hit at most sporting events, but specifically at events between the California Golden Bears and their rival, the Stanford Cardinal.
Naval Academy has the written permission of the University of Montana to use this song under the name "Up With The Navy.
[citation needed] The University of California holds this song as its own, and since the song "White And Gold" came out after 1929, they state that it is probable that Georgia Tech got it from them after the 1929 Rose Bowl since the two teams have played each other rarely.
[citation needed] When the training days are done, And the Big Game's just begun, And there's music in the air; When our team runs on the field, Stanford knows her fate is sealed, For the Golden Bear has left his lair.
Like our friend Mister Jonah, Stanford's team will be found, In the tummy of the Golden Bear.
