Borough Boys/NYC2 Anthem

This thread will be for our search for the perfect song for our
"Anthem"...our "You'll never walk alone"........
Post other songs in the NYC songbook please.

In my opinion it would have to be Frank Sintatra "New York,New York." You cant get any better then that.

This might be an interesting one.. a lil moe uptempo and with a band haha I dont know how to post a youtube video so here is the link

i love it!!!! this should be it.

maybe "new york state of mind"? although it may not be that easy to sing

found some other versions on itunes sounds very catchy and short so whatever u guys think

Thats a good tune but I feel that "NY,NY" is THE New York song.Many know the words and almost everyone knows the song.

you are right. but sometimes i think NY,NY is too main stream.. we need somethin a tad more original. But it is definately obvious NY,NY is the front runner

I know its played at Yank stadium(uck) but its a solid tune.But we should def search for other as well.

i think NY,NY is good. but the only problem i have with it, is that its used at Ranger, Yankees, and Mets games (maybe Knicks? haha haven't been to a game since i was 8). So i feel like maybe something more original would be good. but NY,NY is definitely a fitting tune.

we're gonna need to learn all of them fellas.....we got a 90+ minute gig

I like the Sidewalks of NY

Now this might not go well with some of you Celtic fans out there, but how about a version of the Billy Boys.
[I remember the ESC had a version of this for the MetroStars]

The Borough Boys

Hullo, Hullo
We are the Borough Boys
Hullo, Hullo
You'll know us by our noise
Wherever we go
We'll fear no foe
in New York or Away

For we are the Mighty Borough Boys

sidewalks of new york is my vote...but
i didn't get much reception last time i posted it.

We should give it some time and then have the whole group vote on it.We can have say,5 entries,and vote on them. First round we knock out three and then we can vote on the best two,thoughts?

first, it's a rangers song, second, esc used it for redb.....sorry i just threw up in my mouth alittle bit.....

I'm surprised you didn't upchuck a meatball you ate in 1992! haha

I like sidwalks of new york - we only need to sing just the first verse - not the whole song!!!

I agree with Paul NY NY is our song and it will be in our song book #1 but i think we do need an anthem that is sung in abou 30 seconds, lyrics are easy and catchy. LIke a "Blowing Bubbles" or "Four Leaf Clover" (See Sons of Ben)

Someone post the first to lyrics of Sidewalks of new york - I think that first verse is great and end it with SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK - dont sing the East side West Side stuff

the lyrics are kinda wierd..but the tune is great....
we could just adjust the lyrics maybe.
Anyone up for coming up with new lyrics?

here is Mel Torme's version
East Side, West Side, all around the town
The kids sang "ring around rosie", "London Bridge is falling down"
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke
We tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, all around the town
Sweet Mamie grew up and bough herself a sweet little Alice-blue gown
All the fellas dug her, you should have heard them squark
When I escorted Mamie round the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, riding through the parks
We started swiging at Jilly's then we split to P.J.Clark's
On to Chuck's Composite, then a drink at The Stork
We won't get home until morning 'cause we're going to take a walk
On the sidewalks of New York

there wasa verse before that one that sounded good - what was that? I think we should stick true to the lyrics of this song

I know it's a Rangers' song. Hence my warning to all Celtic fans. But I do remember seeing it on the ESC site before RB took over

Yeah, I can see how saying "redbull" can cause that reaction.

Down in front of Casey's old brown wooden stoop
On a summer's evening we formed a merry group
Boys and girls together we would sing and waltz
While Tony played the organ on the sidewalks of New York

East Side, West Side, all around the town
The tots sang "ring-around-rosie," "London Bridge is falling down"
Boys and girls together, me and Mamie O'Rourke
Tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

These are teh first two lyrics - we can sing one of them or both - i like the first lyrics - formed a merry group - ha ha - whadaya think

and here is a good site for the tune and to follow along the lyrics - thoughts?

Ehhhh a merry group? Thats kind of dated lol.

i like it...it's got history.
it gets my vote....great tune as well.
