    Nice!

    Then perhaps we can get this new song going Saturday in the Barra/NEST?

    The song goes to the tune of Ali G comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat charcters world famous song Throw the Jew Down the Well (So My country Can be Free). If you have yet to hear/see it please click her to see it: http://www.campchaos.com/show.php?iID=866

    We had great success singing it on the Barra bus (even after we sobered up a bit :D ) So I think it should be rather easy:

    Throw the Metros Down the Well...

    So My Country Can Be Free!

    You Must Grab Them by Their Horns...

    Then We Have a Big Party!


    We can throw the gypsies down the well later if we win :D

    I will print up some lyric sheets with the song on it for the tailgate (time permitting...)

    FYI Srdan its Throw the Metro DOWN the well not 'in' the well ;)



    <clap clap clap clap>
    I tell you what to do...
    Throw the metro down the well!
    So my country can be free!

    subbing in names, such as guevara or gaven would be fun too! lets try it right now!

    I tell you what to do..
    Throw Gaven down the well,
    So my country can be free
    You must grab him by his..uh..cant think of lyrics here..
    Then we have big par-ty! :)

    In case anyone is semi-offended, should mention that Ali-G aka Borat is Jewish :)

    I've been listening to London Calling.


    We have to figure out some lyrics to "Death Or Glory."

    You rang?

    Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
    And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
    Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
    The hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand

    How death or glory becomes just another story
    How death or glory becomes just another story
    'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll
    Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
    But i believe in this-and it's been tested by research
    That he who ********s nun will later join the church

    From every dingy basement on every dingy street
    I hear every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
    That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on
    If you been trying for years-then we already heard your song

    I knew the Clash lyrics. I mean we have to write our own that are Barra Brava specific. :)

    In New Jersey there is problem
    You just can't leave it alone
    If you look at him wrong way
    He can turn your face to stone

    Throw Wolyniec down the well
    So our country can be free
    Metros lose another game
    Then we have a big party

    I like the final verse there Lanky. I suggest that we dumb it down further for the first intro to a home game:

    Throw the Metros down the well
    So our country can be free
    Metros lose another game
    The we have a big party!

    After a few renditions, I'm sure we'll figure out a way to slip in Wolyniec or Guevara in there.

    Cheers,
    Tim

    i hate to expose my shocking lack of knowledge about popular culture but i've never heard of this guy or this song.

    more disturbingly, i KNOW i was on the barra bus but i don't recall this song at all

    This is gonna be a "banner" day. Lower deck, upper deck. Is there a topic that hasn't been covered? Everything from blasting the Metro to praising the team and telling them who to sign. Maybe we need a "fire the coach" to cover all the bases!

    Thx,

    Jay!

    I think its great, though i think the beats (iambic pantameter? did I spell that right? is that even the right words to use?) would match up better like this...

    If you hate the Metro scum - clap your hands [clap clap]actually clap here
    If you hate the Metro scum - clap your hands [clap clap]
    If you hate the Metro scum... YES WE REALLY HATE THOSE BUMS!
    If you hate the Metro Scum clap your hands [clap clap]

    SOrry... just me being anal about words matching beats.... great idea tho!

    here's another version:

    Throw the *fill in team name* down the well
    Give United victory
    We're going to *fill in MLS Cup host city*
    And we'll have a big party!
