OK, thanks. That is what I needed to know. "Yo si le voy, le voy al Aztexs!" That translates ruffly into: "Yes I go, I go with the Aztexs!"
here's a little modification of "The Reds go Marching in." Oh when the reds Go marching in Oh when the reds go marching in Oh how I whanna be in that number Oh when the reds go marching in. Oh when the reds Go marching in Oh when the reds go marching in We will all sing in one chorus And cheer them on to victory!!!
You'll find a difference in reception if you use, "Hey, what do you guys think about..." versus "Here's a modification...". One is asking for input on an idea, the other states that the decision has already been made.
I like the chant that Ajejo taught us last match: "Yo si le voy, le voy al Aztecas!" Thanks! That only brings our chant total to 2 along with "the Reds go marching in". And, we have issues with coordinating the latter due to the amount of percussion. How about something like Dave Cevese for a third chant? Simple. Not even any real words to it. And, it seems to work well WITH percussion. Sounders version [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix0QWKhGPjw"]YouTube - ECS - Dale (Cevese) Sounders!![/ame] S.S.

But, we're gonna have to sit closer together and actually do it. If it's more then 3 lines to memorize, it's gonna be hard to get people to join in. "We've Got Cesc Fabregas" could become "We've Got Noel-Williams" (sorry for you Gunner haters) It works for other players with the right number of syllables. We've Got Gall--ardo, etc and so on.. http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/arsenal-chants/weve-got-cesc-fabregas/ For this one, there are 2 words to memorize here: "Der" and Aztex. I think we could manage that no? It's the rhythm we want. http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/hull_city-chants/der-der-hull-city/ Not to offend our multi-lingual guys, but I would love to yell this the next time we host Montreal ;-) http://www.fanchants.com/football-songs/chelsea-chants/speak-fcking-english/ Thoughts?
Had another thought before retiring for the night. This chant is pretty popular for Nat' supporter's at Nevada Smith's in NYC. I liked it (my favorite). Easy to remember. Very loud.

Sing it right before kickoff or maybe right after scoring a goal?
Nice work Mr. J. I think these all could work at the next game. I hope to see you out there. At some point, if we want to do any chanting of our own (in english), then we are just going to have to start chanting over LGI. We can't let them have all the fun!
On that note, here's a little bad ass chant I would highly recommend for you gringos and I could easily teach it to all of you if you so desire, you jsut gotta be willin to put the "attitude" into it and it will sound badass immediatly. I'm a SOOOOOLdier Warrior For personal and club pride I am a FIGHTER I'm a SOOOOOOLdier Warrior For personal and club pride I am a FIGHTER We will attack We will defend We will be loyal TO THE VERY END WOOAH WOOOOOOAH OH WOOOAH WOOOOAH WOOAH WOOOOOAH OH OH OH OH WOOAH WOOOAH OH (repeat all)
I'll be singin this one at all possible venues, ie in pub pre-match at the match etc. Till u guys either strangle me to death or join in whenever you here me beggining it.

Well if we are to sing songs that have nothing to do with football. we might as well... One for the english speaking and one for the spanish speaking.

true true . Allow me to illucidate then. ATN is just as catchy a tune as YNWA, Bubbles, and Delilah, and like all three of them it has no clear cut connections to football. But it works, + in the case of ATN there is plenty of room for improvised lyrics. For instance. 1.2.3.4 Can I drink a little more 5.6.7 8 9 10 It's match day A.B.C.D Can I drink till I can't see E.F. G H I J It's match day Bum bum ba bum ba bum Drink yer beer Bum ba bum Cheer the team Bum ba bum Keep a beat Bum ba bum SING WITH ME!!!!! All togethor NOW!!!!!!!

I dug up this thread to showcase this little blurb from "Tynan Diaz's england tour report", courtesy of the team site. It was initiation time for the new boys so it was decided that each new player to the team had to sing a song on the bus in front of everyone. While I never get nervous before football games, I was sure feeling the pressure on this one and I had a solid performance to follow as Nick Patterson set a high standard on the first song which everyone ended up joining in except me. I was sweating bullets because I knew I was next. I got up and started singing "I'm a Believer." Thank God it was a crowd favorite and the boys joined in which helped the cause. Shortly after, it was announced that it was not over and the new boys needed to come up with a group performance. While it was a lot easier having other guys singing with me, we sure made the Backstreet Boys look good. What you lot think? Is it a worthy tune to be picked up for next season? And heres the offending song in question, for those unwashed few amongst us who don't know it.

I think that I'm a believer would be a good song before a game. I also like the drumline in "The Yellow Rose of Texas." Boy, I wish I could play drums like that! It should put a real sense of duty in our players on the soccer field before a game.
And hey how about these for a slightly varied, and AAFC specific, version of "the Reds Go Marching" and "Glory Glory ". Oh When the RAW Goes Marching on To victory Oh when the RAW Goes Marching on I whanna be In that number Oh when the RAW Goes Marching on. Glory, Glory Austin Aztex Glory Glory Austin Aztex Glory Glory Austin Aztex And HANG/FUK ALL OF THE REST!!!!

Oh I love those videos!!! Reds go marching in is good....but damn I love "there was 1 german bomber in the air" That would really screw with the Portland players! Especially the refrain when we bring up the RAF!! Hahahha!!! Great videos, thank you Cheese and Oatcakes! Soon, we will put together bars scenes like those!!
