[Z010 Union]

OK, we sang most of the songs on the sheet (http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=2841&d=1174589928). Favorites? Duds?

Steve's custom scarf machine really speaks to my vanity. I'm a big fan.

I think Philadelphia (clap 5x) was really good. Philadelphia (Wild Rover) was good. O Philadelphia. Donnie's Army. Dale Oh all get passing marks.

We never did YNWA or Ben Folds' Dale Oh

[Dills]

nor did we do 'call upon us' (as nobody really knows it) ... 'donnie's army' and 'tony donatelli' only work for the kixx games. but being the next official SoB outing is to a kixx game, then by all means ...

[SoB Bolton]

Just remember to check the goal totals before printing out "Tony Donatelli" on the 14th...

[RAYBAL15]

Here are a few chants mostly to get at our rivals DC and NY!!!

1.) cheer up bruce arena o what can it mean

2.)Aways look on (DC/NY) for shite
der der. der der der der der der
Aways look on (DC/NY) for shite

(Tune: Bright Side Of Life)

3.)chim chimeny
chim chimeny

Reynas a (insult) and Angel is too
-OR-

4.)Philly til i die
Im Philly til i die

Im Fc Philly til i die

Join or u will die

if ur not FC Philly yet

[Z010 Union]

2.)Aways look on (DC/NY) for shite

I don't know what words to replace but I think the Flyers win song would make a good song to sing with slightly different lyrics.

With a bit of tweeking I think it could make a good soccer song.

Wake up Philadelphia
And let me hear ya sing
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

Across the blue line we attack
We are
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

Re-load and shoot again
We are
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

And a 1-2-3
Let the hats go flying
For a Flyers victory
And a 4-5-6
Our bold batallion
May they take us all the way
Wake up Philadelphia

Down my family it was passed
We are
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black
<a href="http://www.lyricsmania.com">Lyrics</a>

Kick the boards and pound the glass
We are
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

And a 1-2-3
Let the hats go flying
For a Flyers victory
And a 4-5-6
Our bold batallion
May they take us all the way
Wake up Philadelphia

And let me hear ya sing
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

[N-I-C-H-O]

I dig that song but I'm not nearly creative enough to change it.

[KevinLin]

Kick the boards and pound the glass
We are
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black

And a 1-2-3
Let the hats go flying
For a [insert team name] victory
And a 4-5-6
Our bold batallion
May they take us all the way
Wake up Philadelphia


And let me hear ya sing
The Orange and the Black
The Orange and the Black


And replace the orange and the black with whatever nickname we give the team.

Maybe change Kick the boards and pound the glass to Light the flares and throw the ????

[TheScarfMachine]

I like the idea of creating a "Join, or Die" song. Something like:


Stand with Philly
Where you belong

Stand with the Sons
And stand strong

Stand among us
or fear us as we cry,

Join, or Die!
Join, or Die!

Join! Or! Die!

Join, or Die!
Join, or Die!

Join! Or! Die!





Just something off the top of my head... There's more poetic people here, I'm sure.

[N-I-C-H-O]

How familiar is everyone with the Dropkick Murphys?

[SoB Bolton]

"Light the flares, stay away from [opposing goalie]'s ass?"

[KevinLin]

Very familar...however I feel weird using a NE bands songs just like I can't get myself to post a Bouncing Souls song since they from Jersey.

Maybe someone could write to The Boils see if they could help us out and make a SoB song if they into soccer.

[N-I-C-H-O]

The thing is with DKM they are a blue collar band and we are a blue collar city that was the connection I was looking for. But I do see your point and the Souls are a north Jersey band so they are definitely out. Too bad though Ole is a cool song.

[KevinLin]

I feel like we have enough talented musicans in the area that count as blue collar that we could find one or two of them to either write a songe for us or we could co-op some of their songs.

[Z010 Union]

I suggest The Bare Knuckle Boxers (http://www.myspace.com/thebareknuckleboxers) - an Irish Rock band out of the Suburbs of Philadelphia. They have been together just over 3 years now and have played many venues and pubs throughout the PA area musically related to bands such as Shane McGowan and The Pogues, The Saw Doctors, and the Wolfetones. They play Traditional Irish songs with our own twist of American Rock

[Z010 Union]

To Westminster Chimes (famous at Portsmouth)

Play up Philly
Philly Play up

[Dills]

AD-E-BAY-OR
AD-E-BAY-OR!

i'm trying to find the song they used singing to cesc fabregas ... very catchy. i can't get it out of my head, i just don't know what song it is based on.

[Highbury]

Cesc Fabregas!
He's only 19!
Woah!
He's better than Roy Keane!
Woah!

Or the variation

Fabregas whoa oh,
Fabregas whoa oh,
he's only seventeen
he's better than Roy Keane.
