Ok, we're 4 weeks away from first kick. Time to start getting creative (Leave your "Power in a Union"s at home.) For the opener: Peter Vermes Peter Vermes Did you pay off the ref, or get down on your knees?
That is genius. Obscure hipster tunes may be cool, but unfortunately most people don't know the tunes. Getting the crowd to learn the words after they already know the tune is way easier.
I posted this a while ago other places, so I thought I'd share. (Tune of "Castle of Glass" -Linkin Park) Take me down to the River End. Take me down to that fighting end. Wash last season from off my skin. Teach me how to score goals again.
I posted this in the 2012 thread, but we should really adapt Join the British Army when the Timbers and The Timber Army come to town. Here's some of the verses we can steal: When I was young I used to be, As fine a man as ever you'd see, 'til the team from Portland said to me, Come and join the Timber Army Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo, Me curse upon the Timber crew, If I had a face like you, I would join the Timber army. Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra loo, I've made me mind up what to do, Now I'll work me ticket home to you, And ******** the Timber Army
since were talking pop music thats easy to follow: 17 seconds in: ayyy ayyy ayyy lets go philly union don't stop the party! (or sub this for something idk) (repeat) might be a good post-goal song.
I watched a good hour straight of those videos. They are so stupid but so funny. If we could pull this off in TRE that would be awesome
set up a camera facing the River End during warmups, and recruit a player to dance for a few seconds before hand, and then as the river end fills up get everyone to start dancing/waving flags/signs/whatever
I proposed this waaaaaaaay long ago, so I'll throw it up here again, because I think it would easily translate to a chant. It's the chorus to A Few Good Men by the Dropkick Murphys. Chorus begins at 0:38 Join us in a song we shall rise and sing stand up and be counted sing a song for liberty join us in this song together we shall sing rise up and be counted sing it loud, sing it proud
I don't get it, but would participate in the name of team play. A player might be tough, but a security guard or ball boy would probably work.
Front Office's Theme Song Don't become a fan No body wants to cheer, nobody's in the stands Don't become a fan You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned Don't become a fan Oh yea yea yea I hate to ruin the magic I hate to kill the dream But once you've stood behind this team then you'll know just what I mean You might think that's its cool to get in the stands And sing Dale O from your heart and soul But no one shows up and your players all suck And there's no applause and no Union goals We've got no team for you and no ones gonna sing along with you Don't become a fan No body wants to cheer, nobody's in the stands Don't become a fan They'll will be so damn terrible you'll all think they're shitty Don't become a fan Oh yea yea yea Taxes wont get paid And you won't like our trades I could keep going, but I'll let someone else have fun with this one if they want to continue it
To the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar: Hey, hey, hey, Chick-Fil-A, Why do you care if I'm straight or gay?
next time there is a game in a monsoon: we do this for fun we do this for fun we're the mother ********ing sons of ben we do this for fun
For Saturday in north Jersey: You're being replaced, You're being replaced, You're such a disgrace, You're being replaced
