This was just priceless And totally on the money, when I first suggested the We'll meet Again I was never in doubt that the odds were against it being something easy to pull off ... and yes the Vindaloo/BBQ song, which is a stock anthemic football tune that spread like wildfire gets strange looks when you drop it on people. I figure if we can't get what is basically a one word song going we're going to struggle with an wartime classic. Face it, you'll never walk alone only happened because the Liverpool club DJ played it over the PA before games... Westport Pub Crawl.
And this song would probably be one that would do better w/it being played over the PA. The slow pace & pauses between stanzas would be easier w/the real thing playing at the same time. When you sing this song too fast it sounds like vaudeville.
A pub crawl is a great idea. This one was passed on by Zach Cobb, and a few people heard it before the game Saturday. Lyrics can change for every game but imagine it would be something like this most times Oh who drinks the beer? Oh who drinks the beer? Oh who drinks the beer the people say. Why, we drink the beer! Why, we drink the beer! S-P-O-R-T-I-NN-G! Oh who hates D C? etc The tune is catchy and simple. It seemed that most people picked it up pretty closely the in the first test run.
jeff, think I got it. Sport-ing KC, is the best the others will never do when ever we go out the people always shout Sport-ing KC is the best La dah dah dah da dah dah. ....
also everybody b4 I crash tonight, What about during goal kicks instead of the cacophony that we do right now, how bout we change it to a unified "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" (wiggle fingers) "This Is Sporting, ah-ew, ah-ew, ah-ew" . We have been looking for a time to use that solid ,yet simple, chant for awhile and haven't found a spot for it yet. Make it a situational chant. One that happens many times during the game and it will catch on like "shots" guaranteed.
Yeah when the team came over at the end of the game - that's what we were singing. BBQ finally happened in a game - it went pretty well. This one also went really well We weren't scorin' goals, til we got Kei We weren't havin' fun, til we got Kei Now we're top of the East, and I know whyyyy Hey Hey Cuz we got Kei, Cuz we got Kei, Cuz we got Keiii Da da da da da da (repeat) It barely beat out the Michael Jackson Human Nature one Kei, Kei Tell him that he's Kei Kamara Kei Kei He just do it that way For Zusi, we just started a "slow clap" w/ ZEUS ZEUS ZEUS ZEUS - it sounded great. It really carried.
For consideration under the 'really simple and would sound cool if a lot of people got into' category, we could use the Westminster Quaters (aka those chimes that churches do every hour/quater hour) as the tune to chant 'kansas city', and then count of with "goal!" for each "hour" "gong". Would really sound best in a high scoring game, but say we just scored our fourth goal it would be something like - Kan-sas Cit-y Kan-sas Cit-y Kan-sas Cit-Y Kan-sas Cit-Y Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Of course we could just keep repeating goal until we got bored as well...
It's the England song "Vindaloo", substituting 'barbeque' for 'vindaloo'. Personally I think it's kind of ingenious, whoever came up with it. I guess the youtube time code doesn't work in BigSoccer, so skip to 2:06. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLph6ePNkGQ#t=2m6s"]Fat Les - Vindaloo [Official Video] - YouTube[/ame]
was working with this idea acouple months ago... we need more players own songs when they score instead of the over used clap clap clap clap clap name name name name KEI KA MAR RA JUST SCORED ON YA KEI KA MAR RA JUST SCORED ON YA. to the tune of the church bells...slow...spaced out
THIS, to the tune of Afro Man's "Because I got High." Brilliant at the pep rally. Someone was really doing some deep thinking on that ride to Colorado. Hmmmmm Kei dancing to it tonight on stage at the P&L was a bonus. Id say he liked it.
I didn't see this searching this thread, but I think a song/chant that is short, simple and suitable would be the chorus from "Three Little Birds" after giving up a goal. No need to change the lyrics and most people are familiar with the tune. Don't worry... about a thing. 'Cause every little thing... is gonna be alright. Singing don't worry... about a thing. 'Cause every little thing... is gonna be alright.
