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.〔(''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.〔who also wrote "Birth of the Blues," "Bye Bye Blackbird," "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries." "You're the Cream in My Coffee" and "Keep Your Skirts Down, Mary Ann")〕 "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.''

In the early part of the 20th century Mississippi State University, then know as Mississippi A&M College, used a specially adapted version of the "Washington and Lee Swing" with words suitable for a college song.〔(What is True Maroon? 2008-2009 - “Maroon & White” is True Maroon )〕 The tune is also used by many summer camps as their "camp song" most notably the "Camp Rotary Song" written in 1945 by Camp Director Dr. Emil R. 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.
