    BUILD A BONFIRE

    Build a bonfire, build a bonfire,
    put Salt Lake on the top,
    put the <insert name of opposing team> in the middle,
    and we’ll burn the flipping lot!

    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.

    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

    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)
    You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down

    (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})

    "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!

    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.

    Roar away, you roarin Rapids!

    Oh, Rapids
    We love to cheer ya.
    Away, roar away

    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

    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

    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.
