Oskee Wow - Wow Oskee Wow Wow is the official fight song of the University of Illinois . The song was written in 1911 by two Illinois students , Howard Green and Harold Hill . The school had recently discovered that its official school song , Illinois Loyalty , was not well suited to rousing a crowd during a game . There have long been two versions of the song . Most commonly , it is played " from the hold " at the start of the chorus , when the " O " in " Oskee Wow - Wow " is held out . This version is played after first downs and touchdowns in football , and leading into time outs in basketball . Coincidentally , the buzzers at nearly every arena are in the same chord as the hold . The song used to be played " from the top " after an extra point was kicked , but has recently been replaced in favor of " Fight , Illini . " For many years , the band started playing the song " from the top " toward the end of the warmup period in basketball . When conducted correctly , the " hold " is played just as the buzzer sounds . The song appears to have been written to be played after a touchdown , as it slows down while being played " from the top " before picking back up after the " hold . " Lyrics . Old Princeton yells her tiger < br > Wisconsin her varsity < br > And they give the same old Rah ! < br > Rah ! Rah ! < br > At each university < br > But the yell that always thrills me , < br > And fills my heart with joy , < br > Is the good old Oskee - wow - wow , < br > That they yell at Illinois < br > Chorus < br > Oskee - wow - wow , Illinois < br > Our eyes are all on you < br > Oskee - wow - wow , Illinois < br > Wave your Orange and Blue , Rah ! Rah ! < br > When your team trots out before you < br > Ev ' ry man stand up and yell < br > Back the team to victory < br > Oskee - wow - wow , Illinois
