 Note that the song actually has three verses in the original, but the middle verse about "mighty patriots" and "warriors" is largely absent from performances. Today the song is traditionally performed at University events such as the [[Baccalaureate Ceremony]] and [[University Commencement]], as well as various alumni functions.

 Columbia musical groups have occasionally recorded their work, and sometimes they include Columbia songs. The following Columbia records are known to have school songs:

 There are definitely some interesting recordings of Columbia songs floating around, though they don't seem to have been formally cataloged anywhere. For example, WKCR has a [[w:Dixieland|Dixieland]] jazz style recording of the "Roar" melody it uses after broadcasting games.<ref>It may or may not be "The Empire City Six" recording on [http://www.discogs.com/Empire-City-Six-The-Empire-City-Six-Salute-The-Colleges/release/3213128 "The Empire City Six Salutes The Colleges"], an ABC-Paramount Vinyl LP.</ref> Similarly, whoever coordinated the [[Last School Standing]] competition in [[2004]] during [[Columbia 250]] got their hands on some old  recordings of songs to play over the [[Roone Arledge Auditorium]] sound system before the show.

 === Roar, Lion, Roar ===
-''Roar'' is Columbia's fight song and over time has become the song most closely associated with the school. When the [[Columbia University Alumni Federation]] offered up a prize for a new football song in [[1923]], [[Corey Ford]] [[Columbia College|CC]] '23 re-purposed a song from that years [[Varsity Show]] (which he co-wrote), and "concocted new words for the final chorus of the show and sent the entry in." Thus did "Bold, Buccaneers!" become "Roar, Lion Roar!"<ref>[http://www.thevarsityshow.com/about/ Sing a Song of Morningside] - A history of the Varsity Show</ref> In addition to crediting Ford for the lyrics, songbooks credit Roy Webb CC 1910 and Morris Watkins CC 1924 for the melody.

 Today the song is almost always performed without the first stanza. Note that while the song refers to a "Lion" in the singular, it has become fashionable for certain administrators (notably [[Dean of Columbia College|Dean]] [[James Valentini]]) to quote the opening lyrics in the plural ("Roar, Lions, Roar") when signing off to the Columbia community.<ref>[http://bwog.com/2012/01/28/roar-lions-roar-a-bwog-investigation/]</ref>
