    I'm starting this thread so all of the ideas that have been thrown out are in a thread on the SOBs forum and the songs that we sang last night are on one page:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_UMG4BgY6c"]YouTube- ‪WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL WE DO!!‬‎[/ame]

    We love you Cheesesteaks, we do
    We love you cheesesteaks, we do
    We love you cheesesteaks, we do!
    Oh Cheesesteaks, we love you!

    Also suggested to the same tune:

    we love you arod oh yes we do
    we love you arod and we'll be true
    when you score atlanta's blue
    oh arod we love you


    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU08-QQgxIQ&feature=related"]YouTube- ‪stand up if u hate man u‬‎[/ame]

    If you hate Atlanta, stand up!



    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FQl0HVXJ48"]YouTube- ‪Theres Only One Bobby Robson!‬‎[/ame]

    You're noooo Brianna Scurry!
    Nooooo Brianna Scurry!
    You cried and you moaned
    When she took your throne
    You're no Brianna Scurry and it shows.



    For when Solo takes a goal kick:

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH ARE YOU GONNA CRY? Wah wah wah!



    To the Westminster chimes:

    Hey Hope Solo
    Want a tissue?



    To "The Wheels On the Bus":

    Who you gonna throw under the bus?
    Under the bus!
    Under the bus!
    Oh who you gonna throw under the bus
    When Philly wins?


    To "Yankee Doodle":

    C'mon cheesesteaks score a goal
    It's really very simple
    Put the ball into the net
    And we'll go freaking mental

    La la la la lalala
    La la la la laaa laaa
    la la la la lalala
    La la la la la laa laaa

    To "Vindaloo":

    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah (x2)

    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah
    Nah Nah Nah Nah

    We're Philly!
    We're gonna score one more than you!
    Cheesesteaks!

    To "I don't know the tune, honestly, I just know how to sing it":

    Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oooooh
    Oh-oooh, oh-ooh, ooh oh oh oh CHEESESTEAKS!

    To "When the Saints Go Marching In"

    Yellow and gray!
    Yellow and gray!
    Yellow and gray go marching in!
    Oh I want to be in that number!
    Yellow and gray go marching in!

    Dale-oh

    Dale dale dale daledaledale
    Dale dale dale-oh (x2)
    INDEPENDENCE!(x3)
    Dale-dale-oh!
    INDEPENDENCE (x3)
    Dale-oh!

    I'm forgetting a ton, I'm sure. Add more!

    Important ones I forgot:

    After Independence Goals:

    Doop doop doop doop da doop doop doop
    Da doop doop doop da da doop doop doop (repeat)

    After Opposition Goals:

    Ohhhhh you can't scare me
    I'm sticking to the Cheesesteaks(x3)
    Ohhhh you can't scare me
    I'm sticking to the Cheesesteak!(x2)
    Till the day I die!

    I was thinking of using the same tune for this one:

    Hope Solo throws her teammates, under the bus,
    under the bus
    under the bus
    Hope Solo throws her teammates, under the bus,
    When she loses a game.

    "Carnival de Paris" by Dario G. Fun fact: the band is named after Dario Gradi, long-time manager of Crewe Alexandra.

    Hope Solo throws the Riptide, under the bus
    Under the Bus
    Under the Bus
    Hope Solo should apologize to the Riptide
    and don't tweet us !

    (can't think of this tune)

    Hope Solo played in Philly, we loved her then
    but now she is the enemy, until the game ends
    we are gonna razz her, we are gonna razz her
    cause we like her slightly more than Boston
    (Three CHeers for Riptide)
    Riptide
    Riptide
    Riptide

    BTW, I hope SOB gets free tickets for the remaining games, it shows that the team is trying to get everyone involved and it helps the crowd get into it - you all were great on Sunday

    Pasoccerdad, I don't know how I feel about supporting another team's supporters' group. I definitely agree with them in this instance, but actually singing an organized pro-Riptide chant seems a bit off.


    ^^^
    I like this version.


    To the Tune of "Glory, Glory Hallelujah":

    Glory, glory Independence!
    Glory, glory Independence!
    Glory, glory Independence!
    And the girls in gray march on!

    Instead of "C'mon the I's" (due to cringe-worthiness and being barely audible):

    C'mon cheesesteaks!
    Clap clap
    C'mon cheesesteaks!
    Clap clap
    C'mon cheesesteaks, c'mon cheesesteaks, c'mon cheesesteaks!
    clap clap

    "Twitter Update" and point to the scoreboard

    Nice. Got no clue what the tune is? We'll figure it out in person.

    Great one from the other thread:

    I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
    From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
    Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
    Gave me peace of mind Atlanta never had

    Zing!

    Philadelphia freedom shine on me, I love you
    Shine a light through the eyes of the ones left behind

    Shine a light, shine a light
    Shine a light, won't you shine a light------
    Philadelphia freedom

    I love------- you, yes I do

    Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Beep Beep! Beep Beep!
    Bum Bum Bum Bum!

    Way to go with the PHILA - DELPHIA chant tonight.
    It was pretty loud. There was an interesting stadium echo delay but we SOB's overcame it. Fun game, nice dooping win, Philly 3:2 Atlanta!

    To the tune of Oh Danny Mwanga by White Stripes
    Oh Amy Rodriguez!

    (I took great pains to be sure that the correct number of Blancs are in my above post)

    You know how when the charge! trumpet call comes on, at Union games, we all say in unison FRED! I do not know how that came about, but I would like the SOBs to say FRIDA! at women's games. Even though it sounds very much like Freedom, a team we happen to be playing this week. If done loud enough and in unison, there will be no mistaking this cheer.

    And in general, stop being subtle. Turning down the language has been great, but should not result in turning down the volume as well. This is the mighty SOBs reputation at stake. Let the Cheesesteaks keep their own drum this time, it could make them much more audible and might help the too oft sit-on-their-hands side. We'll still have our tamourin, and otherwise rely on our vocal instruments and standing on our feet makes us loud. But the drum has been drowning us out at this spacious park, and needs to be given back to the other side!

    We have or own drum this week, and our proper drummer, Vandal.

    And there's a charge thing at PPL...?

    yes, instead of saying charge at PPL, when the trumpet sounds, we all say FRED! I don't know where it started but I like it. insert FRIDA!

    drum plan sounds okay, and I'm all for it now. glad we'll have one on each side so we can definitely do the phila-delphia chant before both halves again.

    This is just fascinating me atm. Do you stand in the River End? I seriously have never heard this. I'm thinking that might be why, can't hear it.

    Are we talking about trumpet over the loudspeakers or the dude with the trumpet? 'Cause then it might just be my section.
