"The Victors" is the fight song of the University of Michigan (UM). It was composed by UM student Louis Elbel in 1898 following the last-minute victory over the University of Chicago that clinched a football league championship.John Philip Sousa is said to have called The Victors, "the greatest college fight song ever written". First performed in public in 1899, "The Victors" was not immediately popular, and did not become Michigan's official fight song until many years later. The song "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" was perceived as the school's fight song.
An abbreviated version of the fight song, based on the final refrain, is played after the football team either scores or makes a decisive defense play, such as an interception. Its full lyrics span several verses that run of more than two minute duration. The melody of the fight song is very similar to the trio section from "The Spirit of Liberty March", published seven months earlier by Tin Pan Alley composer George "Rosey" Rosenberg. This song is often referred incorrectly to as "Hail to the Victors".
The Victors is a 1963 Anglo-Americanwar film written, produced and directed by Carl Foreman, whose name on the film's posters was accompanied by nearby text, "from the man who fired The Guns of Navarone". Shot on location in Western Europe and Britain, The Victors features an all-star cast, with fifteen American and European leading players, including six actresses (Melina Mercouri from Greece, Jeanne Moreau from France, Rosanna Schiaffino from Italy, Romy Schneider and Senta Berger from Austria as well as Elke Sommer from West Germany) whose photographs appear on the posters. One of the posters carries the tagline, "The six most exciting women in the world… in the most explosive entertainment ever made!".

I'm surrounded by factories As I'm walking down the street all on my own Everywhere I look around, The building's roofs seem so far from the ground I'm surrounded by factories, Illuminating the sky with the smoke up in the air And as long as I'll be looking 'round My lungs will slowly choke and I'll fall down We must stand tall and fight to make it right We must stand tall and fight to make it right I'm surrounded by factories Poisoning my life and the air that I'm breathing And everywhere I look around Makes me fell like I'm so alone We never asked, we never wanted them to Be around at every single block... no!
