I'll suggest revival of the old 1920's song Collegiate which was actually written and performed at Penn State by Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians.

My father, a music teacher and church choir director, and my mother attended two music workshops conducted by Fred Waring at Penn State--the last one concluded about two days before he passed away.

Collegiate--Waring's Pennsylvanians (1925)

Way cool. As you probably know, Fred Waring is considered a national treasure here. In the same league as Aaron Copeland, Louis Armstrong and Art Feidler.

Maybe even a cut above Lawrence Welk. LW was a superb performer, but I don't recall him coming up with a lot of original stuff like the other three did, almost until the day they died.
