    Chants, songs, etc. for MLS Cup

    Hey -
    Anyone have any good suggestions for songs, chants, etc. for this weekend's game?

    As a reminder, there are some posted at the Casbah website (http://www.thecasbah.org/songs.html), but we could probably use some Fire-specific songs and Jamil is probably in need of a verse or two himself.

    Sung to the tune of "We are the Champions"

    "We are the Quakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkes. We are the Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakes. No time for Galaxies because we are the Quakes.....of the Western Conference!"

    Anything referencing Scott and Lacie.

    In addition, I've jotted one down (rotten tomatoes welcome... ;) ) myself. My goal was to have something like a fight song, team-, not player-specific, and easy to sing/shout loudly for longer than the average chant. Hopefully, if it's a little longer, it might even convince the East and West stands to join in. (Although Earth... Quakes... is tough to beat!)

    Any modifications, criticism, suggestion is welcome... if it bears any resemblance to existing songs, apologies in advance...


    Rumble for the Quakes

    Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble
    Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble
    (first 2 verses get the attention - hey, a song is coming!)

    Heeey, hooo, rumble for the Quakes!
    Heeey, hooo, rumble for the Quakes!

    The boys in blue from San Jose
    Are on the pitch to make our day

    Hey! ho! rumble for the Quakes!
    Hey! ho! rumble for the Quakes!

    Rumble, rumble, over enemy and foe,
    We'll follow the Quakes wherever they may go,
    Our keeper's brave, our backline stiff,
    Our middies cunning, our strikers swift,
    You'll feel our power, see our speed,
    When you play the Quakes, you best take heed!

    HEY! HEY! HO! HO! Rumble for the Quakes!!!!!

    And one more, this one might be too much, though... a little morbid, but easily extendable...:


    Hang Down Your Head

    Hang down your head, Dave Sarachan,
    Hang down your head and cry;
    Hang down your head, Dave Sarachan,
    Your Fire's bound to die.

    Quakes met them at the Depot,
    The Quakes, they scored some goals;
    Met them in the Depot,
    made the Fire pay some tolls.

    Hang down your head, Dave Sarachan,
    Hang down your head and cry;
    Hang down your head, Dave Sarachan,
    Your Fire's bound to die.

    Chants, songs, etc.

    Clever...

    The one that's always sung is Sir Mix a Lot's "Baby Got Back" for Zach Thornton:

    I like big butts and I cannot lie
    You other brothers can't deny
    That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
    And a round thing in your face
    You get sprung
    Wanna pull up front
    Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
    Deep in the jeans she's wearing
    I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
    Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
    And take your picture
    My homeboys tried to warn me
    But with that butt you got...

    and "LA Face with an Oakland booty!"

    We tried the Fat Albert song but it's "banned" from our repetroire by one of the drummers. :D

    On the other side of the coin, the Fire fans might try the Geddy Lee/Mackenzie Brothers classic "Take Off (Great White North)" from Strange Brew.

    Si Se Puede! Cheers!

    How 'bout a spin on a traditional English chant... provided people find and can learn the melody prior to Sunday...

    Weeeeee shall not, we shall not be moved,
    Weeeeee shall not, we shall not be moved,
    Just like a team that's going to win MLS Cup,
    We shall not be moved!

    We came back from 4-nil, we shall not be moved,
    We came back from 4-nil, we shall not be moved,

    We shall not be moved!

    I'm still trying to work out a ride down, Erin, but I'm leaning on going at this point... I'm giving the LAG ticket office a call at lunch to see if I can sort out a ticket.

    Hopefully I'll see ya there.

    This is just my opinion that I'm going to throw out there. And to be honest I know there will be those who won't listen. But here I go....

    This game is NOT between the Quakes and the Galaxy. It's the Quakes and the Fire. I strongly believe that we should focus at those two teams. I know our rivalry with LA is strong. And we'll be in their stadium. But there's a game to be played that has nothing to do with the Galaxy. Can we just keep the chants and signage to the game at hand?

    This opinion has been stated elsewhere by other posters. So I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.

    Our boys are going to have enough problems with the Fire. Let's just focus on that.

    I totally agree, unless there is a great amount of booing, we can always do more than one chant, I was hoping we were smart enough to handle that.

    For a chant that applies to the teams at MLS Cup:

    Sung to "Great balls of Fire"


    You'll lose the game- and you'll know in the end

    The Quakes are champs- and they'll do it again.

    They'll win the Cup- You're all washed up

    Wait-I for-got- Who are the Fire?

    Erin's got a blue dress on

    I really wanna. The Supporter's Bash is more worth it than the Gala as far as I'm concerned. More fun.

    It's just that's it's gonna be such a long few days for me.

    Friday - 5am until 10pm (at the earliest, whenever we get to the hotel)
    Saturday - 7am until goodness knows when the bash ends
    Sunday - game day

    I need a break in there somewhere. And I really just wanna relax. This week has been stressful.

    Thought I'd bump that chant/song in honour of Erin going to the Gala. :)

    Tie one on for me, folks... wish I was there, too. I have a nice suit, but I can't wear it there. For obvious reasons.

    Will have to break it out next weekend-- for some work-related function.
