    There is that Phantom Planet song: "California here we come/right back where we started from" I suggest taking that tune and making the words United friendly.

    We've been on the run
    Driving in the sun
    Looking out for #1
    California here we come
    Right back where we started from

    Hustlers grab your guns
    Your shadow weighs a ton
    Driving down the 101
    California here we come
    Right back where we started from

    California!
    Here we come!

    On the stereo
    Listen as we go
    Nothing's gonna stop me now
    California here we come
    Right back where we started from
    Pedal to the floor
    Thinkin' of the roar
    Gotta get us to the show
    California here we come
    Right back where we started from

    California!
    Here we come!

    I suppose we are, but I knew the song long before that show started.

    Tom, remember this one from '99 to the tune of the seven dwarves song (modified for Home Depot Center):

    Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho
    We're off to Home Depot
    It's time to win another cup
    Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho

    If ever there was a game to sing "Volveremos" this game is it. I've been singing it solo all season long. [tsk, tsk all you non-believers ;) ]

    It goes something like this, ahem.......

    Volveremos, Volveremos
    Volveremos Otra Vez
    Volveremos Ser Campeones
    Como El 96 (Noventa y Seis)


    Short, Sweet and To The Point

    From the banner thread, but this could be the start of a good song:

    I really like this song. Is it to the tune of "Who's your father?" like I think it is?

    no, it's different tune, faster. We use same tune in Croatia but words aren't that confusing! Not sure what original version is from, but it's catchy :)

    We win this game and we can dust off an OLD favorite.

    Campeones!
    Campeones!

    Are we, Are we, Are WE! :D

    --Jokes aside I think we had a LOT more Spanish songs when we were winning and could sing about being CHAMPIONS of anything.

    Volveremos rhythm goes something like this (sound the words out):

    Volvayraymos voooooolvay-raymos.
    Volvayraymos oooohtrah vase.
    Volvayraymos ser cam-piohhhhnays.
    Como el novennnn-taheesays.

    If you get the rhythm down, white boys ;), the tune will follow. Black guys, help the white guys! ;)
