    Now that there is dissension in the ranks, I can bring up my idea again.

    Layla.



    I tried to give you consolation
    When your old man had let you down.
    Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
    Turned my whole world upside down.


    Layla, you've got me on my knees.
    Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
    Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

    I fully anticipate this anthem thing picking up in one of the bars over some beers, but I'm excited about the prospect of an anthem that will be sung 20 years from now in a sold out CCS. The last thing I'd want to do is see us create an artificial deadline of having one by the first game or something. Not that I at all am inferring this to be the case from reading this thread.

    I don't particularly care about the "yellow" thing one way or another. And though, I'm not a Coldplay fan I don't really want to start a measuring contest on people's taste in music. As long as the song fits with the heritage of the club and the values of its fans and is something that will carry meaning over time. The only thing that I do find minor with "yellow" is that the Crew have pretty much referred to themselves as the Black and Gold ever since I can remember. It'd be a sin in most places to call a team by anything other than their official hue. West Ham wouldn't sing a song that had maroon, Alabama fans wouldn's chant anything other than crimson, etc.

    A song that, like it or not, plays up to our small-town, humble roots: Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It sounds pretty sweet in an arena full of drunken Skynyrd fans. For some reason I could picture Lamar sitting around giving the advice in the song. The tune is a bit long though.

    The ideal fit would be that if Lamar always had a favorite catchy tune that just happened to be applicable for an anthem.

    Reverse Psychology. I actually love the song.

    I'm having everyone defend it and get all pissed off over it, so that they actually start it up. No, seriously that's the big plan. :D

    And now for something completely different...

    Has anyone thought of Paint It Black by the Stones?
    Yes I know that we play in gold (yellow) kit at home but with some ajustments to the words it could make an upbeat anthem for the other team color. :confused:

    (Yeh, I know black is not a color)

    I like the song and just listened to it a few times. I think the pace of the song in its duration might be a little too fast for a crowd of people to sing in unison to. I have always wondered if there was a way to make it into a chant.

    The part of the song that goes: I want to see it painted, painted black. black as night, black as coal... keep it the same and change "as coal" to "and gold". It doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the song, but oh well. Maybe repeat the verse and then everyone could just jump up and down and chant "ohhh" to the beat of the song and repeat it.

    To throw out another song I think has potential: Heart of Gold by Neil Young.

    i think we can slow it down we dont have to go the same pace as the song after everyone learns the lyrics or if it is playing over the loud speaker we can keep up

    Off topic a bit, but your Mob avatar combined with the "we need an anthem" and myself listening to a bit of rap music earlier... Mob must stand for Massive Over Beyotches.

    Don't change the lyrics. Just sing the song.

    You guys wanted a "You'll never walk alone" type song. This is it.

    HardHat you've nailed it on the head so hard. That is the song...it absolutely reminds me of YNWA...everyone knows it, it's got the perfect tempo, and the lyrics fit perfectly. Let's do it...

    Very nice, very nice indeed. Easy to sing, has a track record as an R&B classic, is already known by a lot of people, carries exactly the right thought, and is just basically one incredibly cool-ass song.
