How about these frat gems: She said no but I said yes, COLUMBUS! COLUMBUS! (repeat) Or a Rich Balchan chant: BAAAAAAAAALCHAN, BAAAAAAAAALCHAN, (repeat; person grabs their crotch on BAL then raises their hand to their chin on CHAN)
Best thing about the MLS (I'm from england) is the fans coming up with their own stuff, just watching san jose ripping off the spurs song even doing it slowly like they do just sounds weird, I know thats the easy way of getting fans to all sing but surely coming up with original song is the way forward, not just for the mls, for all fans around the world.
san jose and tottenham are partners ....plus there are a bajillion versions of the greasy chip butty song...as long as its tweaked to be a local song its all good
I completely agree. Columbus may be the worst fan base when it comes to that. that cheer is done about 78 times in one game. I feel like im in high school where people do things like "(Insert name) CLAP clap clap-clap-clap" My friend and I try to get new unique chants going but nobody wants to try them, they just go with the same generic ones.
Are you talking about the version of "When the Saints Go Marching In"? I hate to break it to you, but that song wasn't written in North London.
Arsenal sang "When the Reds go marching in for years and years when I started going in the early 80s through to when I left in the late 90s. The irony, is that your such an idiot that you don't realize it is an American Hymm just like Swing Low Sweet Chariot sung by the Rugby lot is African-American song ... Cultures collide and both sides steal, and I assure you Spurs where not the first to use that song.
I know I've heard Stoke supporters sing "Hey hey hey, goodbye" [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsaTElBljOE"]YouTube - Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye‏[/ame]
violence in south american football is terrible terrible stuff. Killings, arrests, stabbings, riots. Very very bad stuff.
@Chicago: what happened to "Don't Stop Living in the Red?" I haven't heard it recently, which saddens me. It was more or less exclusive to Chicago too, which gives it the hipster seal of approval.
Has anyone noticed that it's spreading around to throw-ball? Penn State, Ohio State, and the Baltimore Ravens? Props to Section 8 for starting something that is pretty awesome.
FC Brugge (Belgium) [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8xyew07o1g"]Club Brugge - Standard bekerfinale - Seven nations army - YouTube[/ame] Not a bad song. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J2QdDbelmY"]The White Stripes - 'Seven Nation Army' - YouTube[/ame]
I have given up on this debate. It's sickening that there's soooooooo much music domestically and not much creativity or thought to (in my case, my own flock) won't start using them. In J-League and Latin America for example, groups will change the words to music heard on the radio or folk songs and apply them to their team.
The first team in mls to steal a song should get to sing it exclusively in mls. That means Vancouver should stop with the "just can't get enough"
Many [not all of, before anyone says] of these same teams' fans hate soccer, but they'll steal our sports' chants... The irony.
Everyone the world over "steals" other fans songs. I thought people knew this. How did I miss this thread?
I'm impressed. You heard it when you made it out to our games all the way from Seattle a decade or so ago? Even if it was in the last few years at Red Bull Arena, kudos.
