We Don't Give a Damn

"We Don't Give a Damn" is a song long associated with opponents of sports teams from the American State of Michigan. Its simple lyrics, written in the first person plural, repeatedly express the indifference of its performers to the entirety of the State of Michigan and declare their place of origin to be Knoxville, Tennessee, or some other location. The earliest known usage of the song was in the 1890s by alumni of Cornell University. It has also been used in a variety of contexts by baseball and football fans from Chicago, Minnesota, Ohio, and North Carolina.
