RAPIDS WONDERLAND (to Winter Wonderland) Over there it’s so quiet, Over here it’s a riot, We’re walking along, singing our song, Walking in the Rapids Wonderland. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoMoHez3CY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWoMoHez3CY[/ame] The King himself sings this one...

I wish that I had come up with this earlier. Sung to 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home'. : When Omar runs at the goal hurrah, hurrah The boys will cheer and the men will shout hurrah, hurrah When Omar runs at the goal All the fans young and old See the Ra-pids win when Omar runs at the goal
Nobody does this chant anymore: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3VMVYdrzhg"]YouTube - Oh Rapids![/ame]
We Want The Cup! Gotta Have That Cup! To the tune of Parliament, "We Want the Funk" "Ow! We want the Cup! (pause 2 beats) Give up the Cup! Ow! We need the Cup! (pause 2 beats) Gotta have that Cup!" X3 Much better than just chanting "We want the Cup" repetitiously. Come on, add some funk! Even better if we can add some "tear the roof off this sucker" Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mother, sucker Tear the roof off the sucker (X4) You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down There's a whole lot of rhythm going round (X2) Ow, we want the funk Give up the funk Ow, we need the funk We gotta have that funk (X2) La la la la la Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!

(X2) We're gonna turn this mother out (x2) You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down There's a whole lot of rhythm going round (X4) Ow, we want the funk Give up the funk Ow, we need the funk (let us in we'll tear this mother out {after 3rd & 4th}) We gotta have that funk (X7) Ow, we want the funk (we're gonna turn this mother out) Give up the funk Ow, we need the funk (we're gonna turn this mother out) We gotta have that funk (X2) Ow, we want the funk Give up the funk Ow, we need the funk (let us in we'll tear this mother out {after 2nd & 3rd}) We gotta have that funk (X2) We want the funk Give up the funk We need the funk We gotta have that funk (X3) La la la la la Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!

"Be a Rapid!" To the tune of Devo, "Whip It." Be a Rapid! Shape it up! Get straight! Go forward! Move ahead! Score a goal! It's not too late! To whip 'em! And whip 'em good! (x2)
In honor of our new budding star, Quincy Amarikwa's first goal. ('Amarikwa' rhymes with 'America'). (To the tune of 'America, ******** Yeah!') Amarikwa Amarikwa Amarikwa, ******** Yeah! Comin' again to save the mother********in' day, Yeah! Amarikwa, ******** Yeah! Quincy is the only way, Yeah! (Salt Lake) your game is through ''cause now you have to answer to Amarikwa, ******** Yeah! Whatcha' gonna do when we come for you? (x2)
To the tune of http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JzFttSRmUeo#t=94s Oh Mastroeni, you are the love of my life Oh Mastroeni, I'd let you shag my wife Oh Mastroeni, I wish I could be more like you Was something a guy in the BSG was telling me about, apparently his home squad back in the UK uses a variation of that and thought it'd work well for Pablo.
Wouldn't mind having a couple more "upbeat" chants. I'm starting to think most of the stuff we have is 130 beats per minute or slower. We need something up in the 180range. Not saying we rip off this one, but this is the kind of chant I'm talking about: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2DqNaUKN0s"]YouTube - Portland Timbers Army.[/ame] Love it. We need more jumping opportunities. And more chants with verses that can go on for 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds.
yeah, I totally agree with you on this Craig... Their chants were a lot stronger and longer you could say. It's something we should look into and yes, be more upbeat! Everyone needs to get involved. It could be done. How do we create a strong supporters culture such as Timbers Army? Let's not rip off songs from them, but just take them as an example and step it up. I'm personally very happy with how much we have grown and take a lot of pride in what we do already, but we could do better. Always.
Found myself singing this one to myself during the playoff run to the tune of the traditional ballad, Shenadoah Oh, Rapids We love to cheer ya. Roar away, you roarin Rapids! Oh, Rapids We love to cheer ya. Away, roar away Colorado Rapids!
When Ronald Reagan comes around He brings the fascists to your town You think it's cool to be a jock But we all get beat up by cops It's a Fist fight fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot Fist fight fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot (BSG Capo) I guess my mind's all messed up But isn't that a result of going to your schools being a part of your system following your orders (PA Capo) I guess you want me to put on a suit and tie and eat my happy meal (CVI Capo) I guess you want me to have 2.5 children and a white picket fence I have a better idea. Why don't I kick in your windows with my boots (PA Capo) You hear that Alexander Haig? You getting all that Ed Meese? It's time for a Fist fight fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot Fist fight fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot
When Real Salt Lake come around They bring the Mormons to your town A cheating club ain't got no class So drag them out and kick their ass It's time for a Fist fight Fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot Fist fight Fist fight Fist fight in the parking lot [ame="http://www.hulu.com/watch/126479/saturday-night-live-band-reunion-at-the-wedding"]Hulu - Saturday Night Live: Band Reunion at the Wedding@@AMEPARAM@@http://www.hulu.com/embed/YVEFp4lescx3IOWrHFyHJw@@AMEPARAM@@YVEFp4lescx3IOWrHFyHJw[/ame]
We had a few Keller specific chants going last game. Where's your brother Niles clap-clap clap-clap-clap ad naseum. Who ate all the pies? Who ate all the pies? Frasier Crane Frasier Crane Frasier ate the pies.
So our chants page is a freaking mess of a disaster and I would love to get it cleaned up. Want to keep the basics on it, but ditch some of the chants that #1: people complain about most and #2: just plain suck. I downloaded the BSG chant page and uploaded it into my Google Docs. I've removed several chants, including a couple BSG specific chants. The purpose of this document is to synchronize the two groups "generic" chants. The SG chants can be added back in later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...bdmUZEiinyGaFY/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CLbco9MI Few notes: I slightly re-worded "Glory Glory Colorado" to: "We support the Rapids, cheer them on to victory" since since it's impossible for us to say it the other way correctly. It's one of our core songs that we never get right. Few players who are no longer with us have been removed. The awful Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles song has been removed, as well as the equally awful Brian Mullan song. The most awful song of them all has also been removed, Wells Thompson. Sorry to whoever made those chants, but they need to go. If I hear the Wells Thompson one again, ever, I'll flip a lid. There's also a growing movement to let go of the "Jesus Saves" chant for Pickens. So, it's gone. Apparently he hates it. This list is NOT OFFICIAL and are just MY ideas. If I am missing anything obvious, let me know and I'll put it on. I want to add the new chant we have (Pid Army posted videos about it) so I'll add that on when I get the chorus lyrics (a few words I think). Anything else that should be removed? Or added back on?
Either I suck and don't know how to edit, or there isn't the option. So anyway, I wanted to make something clear: I am not taking over the chants, or saying what we can and can not chant. I just wanted to clean the list up for everyone. This is not a BSG or a Pid Army chant list, but a general, cleaned up version of what we have now. Something I could give to my grandmother! Feel free to have me add something back, even if I personally hate it. I'm not dictating anything. Or if someone wants to add their own suggestions, then that's where they will go, under the suggestions and we can see if they work! This is for everyone, not me or us.
Hey guys, Johnnie from Vancouver here. I saw in another thread that some of you guys are trying to make an anthem for your SGs out of John Denver's "Country Roads." Not trolling here, but the Southsiders have used that tune for our anthem, "Boundary Road" since 1999. If you're aiming to establish something unique to the Rapids, you might want to pass on this one.
