New DC Theme Song

[EdTheRed]

My nomination for our new theme song:
"Down In It" by Nine Inch Nails. It just sums up the past four years for me.

wimp. wimp.

kinda like a cloud i was up way up in the sky.
and i was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe.
sometimes i don't believe them myself and i decided i was never coming down.

just then a tiny little dot caught my eye.
it was just about too small to see.
but i watched it way too long.
that dot was pulling me down.

[Chorus:]
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
i was up above it.
now i'm down in it

shut up.
so what what does it matter now.
i was swimming in the haze now i crawl on the ground.
and everything i never liked about you is kind of seeping into me.
i try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out.
i guess the jokes on me.

[Chorus]

i used to be so big and strong.
i used to know my right from wrong.
i used to never be afraid.
i used to be somebody.

i used to have something inside.
now just this hole it's open wide.
used to want it all.
i used to be somebody.

i'll cross my heart and hope to die.
but the needle's already in my eye.
and all the world's weight is on my back and i don't even know why.
and what i used to think was me is just a fading memory.
i looked him right in the eye and said "goodbye."

[Chorus]

rain rain go away.
come again some other day.

[Chorus]

na na na na na na na na.

[Lowecifer]

My offering for the "DC United Anthology Vol. II: 2000-2003, the lean years"

Pretty F’ed Up by The Supersuckers

she's got a man on the side
yeah, she's with him today
and i probably won't die
but it sure feels that way
and i used to be strong
i used to be tough
and she used to be pretty
but now she's pretty f’ed up

chorus
aww, pretty f’ed up
yeah, pretty f’ed up
aww, she used to be pretty
but now she's pretty f’ed up

now i know people change
and sometimes that's good
but some people don't
when maybe they should
right now that don't help
i might just throw up
cause it sure does feel shetty
when things just get pretty f’ed up

chorus

now a long time ago
i made her feel this way
and i begged her forgiveness
yeah, i begged her to stay
and she said that she loved me
it made me feel good
yeah, it made me feel giddy
now i feel pretty f’ed up

chorus

chorus

aww, she used to be pretty
but now she's pretty f’ed up

pretty f’ed up
oh, pretty f’ed up

Good One! [The Buzzcocks have a treasure trove of United-appropriate songs]

------------------------

Something's Gone Wrong Again

Tried to find my sock
No good it's lost
Something's gone wrong again
Need a shave
Cut myself need a new blade
Something's gone wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something's gone wrong again
Something's gone wrong again

Tried to fry an egg
Broke the yolk no joke
Something's gone wrong again
Look at my watch just to tell the time
But the hand's come off mine
Something's gone wrong again
Something's gone wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something's gone wrong again
Something's gone wrong again

Nothing ever happens to people like us
'Cept we miss the bus
Something goes wrong again
Need a smoke use my last 50p
But the machine is broke
Something's gone wrong again
Something goes wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again

[Solo]

Something goes wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again

Nothing ever happens to people like us
'Cept we miss the bus
Something goes wrong again
Need a smoke use my last 50p
But the machine is broke
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again

Turn up early in time for our date
But then you turn up late
Something goes wrong again
Need a drink go to the pub
But the bugger's shut
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again
And again and again and again again and
Something goes wrong again
Ah something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again
Something goes wrong again

Perchance how does Crawling by Linkon Park fit into your post-MLS Cup Metroscum conspiracy?

No boybands allowed.

[doneshufflin]

How about "Hits from the bong" by Cyprus Hill because that is what i need to calm down after watching our team suck shite.

"Slack Mother*#*#*#*#er"--Superchunk



You haven't moved from that spot all night since you asked for a light
you little smoke stack
You've wasted my time
I'd like to see you try and give it back

Keep telling yourself that.

[Darth_Norteno]

While we're on the subject of NIN (who I love, BTW), I think a more appropriate selection as it pertains to DCU would be "The Wretched".


just a reflection
just a glimpse
just a little reminder
of all the what abouts
and all the might have
could have beens
another day
some other way
but not another reason to continue
and now you're one of us
the wretched

the hopes and prays
the better days
the far aways
forget it

it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

now you know this is what it feels like
now you know this is what it feels like

the clouds will part and the sky cracks open
and god himself will reach his *#*#*#*#ing arm through
JUST TO PUSH YOU DOWN
JUST TO HOLD YOU DOWN
stuck in this hole with the *#*#*#*# and the piss
and it's hard to believe it could come down to this
back at the beginning
sinking
spinning

and in the end
we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
you're finally free
and you could be

but it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

now you know this is what it feels like
now you know this is what it feels like

you can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
you can try to stop it but


And yes, N*Synkin Park IS A BOY BAND.

Here's Linkin Park in an earlier incarnation, before the record label gave them a "harder" image:

jealous......

[Funkfoot]

The words don't really apply, but somehow the theme song from Gilligan's Island seems strangely appropriate for this team.

[vivaelbolivar]

i miss that show but good point it does make sense since we seem to be "lost" and cant find our way "back"

[CHICO13]

Broken Hearts are For Assholes
Frank Zappa

[GrillMaster]

All this tag-line talk of Muete or Gloria got me thinking about an interesting (at least to me) chant opportunity using the moldy oldy Gloria:

SEs could start:
Gee, ell, oh, are, eye, a

Barra responds:
GLOH-REE-AH!

Repeat a couple of times and then 'medley' into another song like La Barra Brava, or Nowak's Army.

Any takers?

Guys, I know this is going to sound corny, but I'm really serious about this.

The definitive "You'll Never Walk Alone"-type song for DC United should be...

(...wait for it...)

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird."

Think about it. It has a touch of the South, a touch of majesty, and a touch of longing. And essentially it's a drinking song, which will be perfect as the Nest sings it at full volume with about five minutes to go til the end of the game. And not only that, but it also references a bird, which just happens to be a big part of United's logo.

Here are the lyrics (submitted for your approval):

============

FREE BIRD by
Lynyrd Skynyrd

If I leave here tomorrow
would you still remember me
For I must be travelling on now
there's too many places I gotta see

And if I stay here with you girl
things just wouldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

Bye bye it's been sweet love
though this feeling I can't change
Please don't take it so badly
Lord knows I must play

And if I stay here with you girl
things just couldn't be the same
For I'm as free as a bird now
and this bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
and the bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change

========================

[Lowecifer]

Absolutely NO FREEBIRD!

You will now be jailed for not less than 30 days.
