I always thought that the Chinese High school song was all original and after singing it communistically for 4 whole years it does really sound communist to the core and won't expect another school to use it.
Well here's presenting Chung Ling High School who uses the same song!

Or if you can read taogays..
And guess what?
CORNELL UNIVERSITY USES THE SAME SCHOOL SONG!

More about the song...
The original melody is taken from a typical song of the time, Annie Lisle, a melancholy ballad of a heroine with tuberculosis written by Boston musician H. S. Thompson in the late 1850s. Although Cornell is believed to be the first school to have used the melody for its alma mater, it has since been copied by high schools and universities around the world, including Indiana University, University of Missouri, University of Georgia, University of North Carolina, and even the American University in Beirut....
The above probably on interests/shocks Chinese High peeps.. now something for the NUS peeps.
NUS HAS A SCHOOL SONG!
