Songs & Chants

[Bigus]

Ok folks, lets talk about songs and chants

All I ever hear is

Gooooooooooo USA. USA, USA, USAAAAAAA

and

When the Yanks Go Marching in.

Anybody got anything else?

Jack Warner will be attendance for the T&T match in Chicago, won't he? We need a good "Warner travel agency" chant for that scum but I'm not sure it can be pulled off en masse (see below).

Personally, I love the "We all cheer for the Red, White & Blue" to the Yellow Submarine song. Rules for chants:

1) understood by fans across the stadium
2) easy to remember
3) must have a simple beat (and easy to dance to)
4) include handclaps and a bass drum whenever possible
5) keep it short

I'm a fan of the "Estados Unidos" chant when we are playing a Spanish speaking team.

Someone posted a youtube link of the song "Over There" awhile back. That song would work really well if everyone had a copy of the lyrics.

Ive mentioned "Over There" on many occasions and still think that the lyrics are perfect and powerful. Its short and simple as well.

Chorus
Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there -
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there.

I like this idea, very simple and even people who don't know it at first would catch on in seconds.

An original. Only works when Landon scores

To the tune of Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond

Sweet Donovan
U S A
He just scored a Goal
A Goal A Goal A Goal
He'll do it again
U S A
And the US Will Win
We'll Win We'll Win We'll Win

[Kevin8833]

Sweet Donovan
U S A

This part works really well, not sure about the rest. Two chants we could start using that would add something other than USA, USA, USA are?

1) Sweet Donovan-USA
and
2) We all cheer for the red, white, and blue

[Woodside Mets]

You can just use the chorus :

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie

Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there -
That the Yanks are coming,

So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there.

"Over There" is one of my favorites–starts at about :45 in this clip from YouTube:

I like the Donovan song and the Yellow Submarine takeoff, too.

Thats an awesome movie and James Cagney is a brilliant actor! Anyways, I think the argument we get with this song is the fact that it is so old. The point is that it has history and meaning behind it. I dont see a problem at all using new or old songs. As long as we can go out there and be able to switch things up a bit.

I think this is a good idea. Great song.

Vulgar ones:

Wheels on your house go round and round, round and round, round and round
The wheels on your house go round and round, round and round, round....

Tim, Timery, tim, timery, tim, timaroooo
We've got Tim Howard and he says ******** you

You go down like a Tijuana whore, a Tijuana whore, a Tijuana whore.
You go down like a Tijuana whore, a Tijuana whore, a Tijuana whore.

If I had the wings of a sparrow,
and I had the ass of a crow,
I'd fly over "opponent" tomorrow,
and shit on those bastards below, below,
shit on.... shit on...
shit on those bastards below, below,
shit on.... shit on...
shit on those bastards below, below.

and I am sure there are more good ones, I am just too tired tonight to think of more..

I like the old time war songs, here is a few.

You're A Grand Old Flag

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

[FC ME]

We could all just sing Goals! Goals! Goals! for the Red, White, and Blue. That's a pretty popular song amongst US fans, right?

While we all love the classics, our image is changing and so should our chants

You want vulgar? Look no futher than 2pac and The Outlawz
Us against the world
Outlaw
Life Of An Outlaw
Hail Mary
Hit Em Up

Us against the world

Sing a song (sing a song),
For Oguchi Onyewu (Onyewu)
He's so strong (he's so strong),
He just might kill you (kill you)
