Sons of
Westwood
During the 1960s, the UCLA Marching Band adopted new Bruin-oriented lyrics to
UC Berkeley’s “Big C, Sons of California,” and composed “Sons
of Westwood,” one of the Bruin fight songs. Today the “Eight-Clap” yell
introduced by a UCLA student in 1948, often accompanies the fight song.

“Sons
of Westwood”
We are Sons of Westwood,
And we hail the Blue and Gold;
True to thee our hearts will be,
Our love will not grow old.
Bruins roam the hills of
Westwood,
By the blue Pacific shore;
And when they chance to see a man from USC,
Ev’ry Bruin starts to roar.
