Leeds has "Marching on Together", Liverpool has "You'll Never Walk Alone," and West Ham has "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles." Would anyone be opposed to an official song? I woke up this morning with this idea in my head, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw this out there. Give me a couple of minutes, and I'll have it recorded for everyones listening pleasure I'll leave it up to any one of you to name it. Cheers, and see you all at Kezar. I'll be the kid with the Leeds United jacket.
Alright, it's up at http://www.myspace.com/hmeyrick. I wanted to give it a bit of an "old school" feel, and I'm not sure if that's how it comes off, but that was the intent. Halfway through, is when the group vocals start just to give you an idea of how it might sound if 10 or so people were singing it. Hope someone out there likes it. Go Victory! Here are the Lyrics: Over bridges and hilltops and golden fields here come the Vict'ry. They are from California, pride of the league, they're the Vict'ry. Though their roots are in Spain, they are home in the Bay, they're the team of our hearts and we're out here to sing for the Victory! Victory! Victory! Oh in blue skies or grey, we're all here to stay, and sing for our team!
Actually not half bad...of course, I'm envisioning it a little faster, some electric guitars with a pub/punk tempo ala Sham 69 or Cockeny Rejects, but all the same, pretty good!
wow, I have to commend your effort. The second version especially, is very good. I think we should all learn it by next weekend and give it a shot before the game!
Here you can listen the Deportivo Alaves song in five diferentes versions: http://www.babazorros.com/himno.html
Holy shit, Horror Show! I'm tearing. I can't wait to unleash the fury with all of you. It's going to sound awesome.
great song horrorshow! we should sing it at the game saturday! yes we should! vict'ry! you givin' me a ride neighbor? aha.
Sure, if you don't mind listening to some grindcore/doom metal all the way to Kezar. Thanks for the kind words everyone, now who wants to name the darn thing? The name's Harvey by the way. Up the Vic'try!
The song is cool. Probably should make some handouts with lyrics (and musical notation for any who can read it?) and hand them out in the supporter's section at games. We need more songs though, not just the one. I'm wondering if we can do "California Here I Come" with some customized lyrics?
I just got a gigantic cowbell! Now we just need a drum. My 2 cents on singing our song at the match...we should sing it a little slower so that the words can be understood. Hopefully we can practice at either the pub or in the stands. I like your idea, Billward about "CA here I come." I'll try to brainstorm some new lyrics and post my ideas later. Another song that might be good to change is "I love you CA." It's CA's state song http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_You,_California
Hey Show.....song is awesome, I was thinking if you could burn a copy of the slow acoustic version, maybe we could play it over the PA as the team returns from halftime, I could check into that if your willing. The slow version would come across better on the PA...as everyone could hear the lyric clearly...your thoughts?
It would be an honor. I'll re-record it using a metronome so that the timing isn't off, and I'll post it for you to decide on which version you'd like to use. Thanks, and I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the team.
Mike, We will be ready to sing a long at the second half, with our scarves raised proudly (*hint*) and our flags waving!
Good show, Horror show! I tried downloading all versions from myspace, but it always says "access denied." I would love to have a copy. Can you email them to me? PM me.
For ALLLGooD and anyone else who might want to download them but are having the same problem: The Original http://www.sendspace.com/file/g1ldi3 The Oi http://www.sendspace.com/file/n7ml8m The Metronomed sans group vocals (maybe that's something we can do live) http://www.sendspace.com/file/4x9k13
