    Much as I hate the idea of taking songs from Old Trafford, I'd love to hear us sing "We want our trophy back" to the tune of La Donna e Mobile, followed, of course, by "We got our trophy back" a few weeks later.

    Here's something for their "Unity" wristbands...tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In".

    Oh, have you read the Kabbalah?
    Oh, have you read the Kabbalah?
    Then tell me why you wear that wristband!
    Oh, have you read the Kabbalah?

    Or this one, to the tune of "Guantanamera", variations of which are common in England:

    One Lance Armstrong!
    There’s only one Lance Armstrong!
    One Lance Armstrooooong,
    There’s only one Lance Armstrong!

    And if anyone wants to do me a major solid, I would LOOOOVE to hear this throughout RFK..."Battle Hymn of the Republic"

    You’re going home to Jersey in a DC bodybag,
    You’re going home to Jersey in a DC bodybag,
    You’re going home to Jersey in a DC bodybag,
    United marches on!

    Glory, glory to United,
    Glory, glory to United,
    Glory, glory to United,
    And F--- THE METROSCUM!

    I'd like to remind everyone that our loudest chants/songs are ones with 1-2 simple words and lots of oooooo as they're easiest to pick up by vast majority. :)

    And I'm going to have a flag so if front row stops singing 3 seconds into the song they get poked with it :D

    I sent you an email Kim :eek:

    As I said to her in the email, I think its good to keep it BASIC when we start. Lets go with the original (It worked for Borat :D) and then we can add lines as we go...

    THROW THE METROS DOWN THE WELL

    SO MY COUNTRY CAN BE FREE

    YOU MUST GRAB THEM BY THEIR HORNS

    THEN WE'LL HAVE A BIG PARTY



    I think this song is fun/cool because with a person leading it, we can add lines as we go... and people just have to listen to catch them being changed.

    THROW THE METROS DOWN THE WELL

    SO MY COUNTRY CAN BE FREE

    THE METROS LOSE ANOTHER GAME
    (Courtesy of Lanky :D)

    THEN WE'LL HAVE A BIG PARTY

    And on...

    Somebody needs to come up with a song for Amado to the tune of the BINGO song.

    While no "Death or Glory"

    Here is "Train in Vain" Changed around a bit

    "Say you Stand --- by DC
    Tell me something --- I don't see
    We know DC is the best --- and that’s a fact
    We got trophies which --- metros will always lack

    Well some things you can explain away
    But Metros failings make me laugh everyday

    Did you stand by DC
    No, not at all
    Did you stand by DC
    No way"

    You don't mind if I add that to my La Norte list of anti-Scum songs, do you? :D


    On a side note, I've had that damned Ali G song stuck in my head all day. My coworkers are wondering what the hell's wrong with me.

    Damn you Owen!! ;)
    Like others, I too have had that damn song in my head all week. What's funny is that my day porter who has claimed he knows NO english is singing it too. While pronunciation is still a problem, we're working on it. :p

    Here's another suggestion for line 3 that will fit for every game we play FOREVER!

    ANOTHER VICTORY FOR UNITED
    or
    ONE MORE VICTORY FOR UNITED

    Songleaders!

    Are we going to try to do this with the fans answering? You would sing the verse and the crowd would echo it. Then we could do lots of versions, and I really like vlasta's.

    Sounds good Tom!

    Either way works really. We can do the sing and lead thing at first, but i have a feeling people will pick it up fast.

    Just to make sure I printed about a dozeb song sheets up with it as well. We can pass them out at the tailgate.

    This is great! Sing it loud, so I'll know to join in from wherever I end up sitting (I'm not in one of the fine supporters clubs, sorry). It would be cool if someone brought a guitar and walked around like the drum guy to lead this song.

    Death blow to the Metros! Bring on new engerland!

    There's probably a chant thread around here somewhere, but oh well.

    The last couple of weeks watching Premiership matches, whenever an English player scores or otherwise does well, the fans start a "insert-player-name for England" chant. Sounds really good on the telly.

    We could do a "Esky for U.S.!" chant if he scores. Also maybe Olsen or Nicky (if it's a shut-out). I suppose Ernie and Freddy could be included if they do something tonight.

    This goes right along with the K.I.S.S. rule of chants.

    I realize you might prefer sitting there, but if you have season tickets you can exchange your ticket of same or greater value for ticket in Barra, and I would imagine Eagles are same. :)

    Very enjoyable thread, I'm anxious to see/hear what comes of it at the match.

    For Grillmaster and any other drumbeaters, with this match in hand nearing the end, any chance of hooking up a small vocal section and belting out a rhythm-vocal rendition of Rock and Roll Pt 1?

    Nothing belts out humiliation to the loosing side than hearing over and over,
    "DA de-Da Da, Hey You SUCK!!
    DA de-Da Da, Hey You SUCK!!
    DA de-Da Da, Hey You SUCK!!
    We Just beat the hell outta you and you and you...."
    not to mention the once the drums got the beat down, pretty hard for the whole stadium not to pick it up.

    We're existentialists in the Barra. [Say whaaaaaaat?}

    Life is what you make it to be. So bring your energy and lyrics to bear at the right opportunity and we'll probably get something going. Unless it's totally lame, of course (using crowd response as the lame-o-meter, or is that lamometer?).

    Damn, 3 and a half hours to go B4 tailgate. And this damn Well song is echoing around in my head.... I need some samba rhythm to rescue my sanity! ;)
