OK so i had this idea for sometime about a crew anthem to the tune and most of the words of Bouncing Souls song OLE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3XzkeFm6cM Columbus Crew No one can beat us we drink beer and wear adidas anywhere we get the itch we're off to find the proper pitch lace your sambas get on out off we go to kick it about win or lose we're hav'n fun we wont quit until we're done we got heart when we play take you on any day OooOOOOOOle ole ole ole ole ole ole blah blah ole blah ole Pretty much that. Get both groups to start singing it then people in the crowd when the crew come out would be pretty amazing.
That doesn't sound like the Crew at all, where is the part about tieing every match? On a related subject, I was front row for the Bouncing Souls last year. When the band was setting up, the crowd was chanting "Ole, Ole, Ole" and now I guess I know why. I must admit, the song does seem to have a lot of energy and seems like a good idea.
Somaside, if you have the CD, bring it to next week's 137 tailgate. We could all learn it there. It's tough to learn in these things in the stands, unless there are 20-30 people who already know it. But I like the song, and think it can work. Not that it matters what I think, just saying, there'll be at least two of us singing it.
the song is pretty simple to learn...you just repeat that over and over...considering the current crew situation maybe we should sing "born to lose"
I'm tellin' you guys, some Garth is in order: "I got friends in low places. Where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases, my blues away. I'll be okay. I'm not big on social graces. Think I'll slip on down to the Oasis. Oh I got friends in low places." Everybody knows the song. It fits, given that past 4 years or so.
I'll second that, leave the country songs for the first confederate state to get a team. I'm looking at you Alabama.
Yes of course, everyone should keep writting their own song with eighty different verses sung to the tune of zippity-do-da and then complain that everyone sits on their hands and no one joins in with their supporters group when they start chants, even though no one can make out what the heck the chant is to begin with. I'm actually not all that interested in what song may be picked. But something people know will get them into it. Kind of like why I've said an OH - IO chant would be good every once in a while too. Does anyone really like the whole "nah-nah-nah-nah, 'Hey'" thing that is done at every stadium at every sporting event in the U.S.? No, but people know it and people do want to cheer their team on.
Have you heard the song called "Ole" pretty much the lyrics to that...when any section starts it no one in the crowd really sings along...or how about "columbus til i die" pretty freak'n easy to learn too...actully all the songs we sing are easy to learn...that aint the problem and garth aint the answer.
Missouri was never official, they were kinda neutral like Kentucky, but I guess i'm just thinking of the SE states (east of missippi river south of mason-dixie line)
This is much closer to the right idea than pretty much anything anyone has suggested in any of the "Crew Theme Song" threads which inevitably get started toward the beginning of every season.
How about: "I don't want you and I don't need you don't bother to resist, I'll beat you It's not your fault that you're always wrong the weak ones are there to justify the strong the beautiful people, the beautiful people it's all relative to the size of your steeple you can't see the forest for the trees you can't smell your own shit on your knees Hey you, what do you see? something beautiful, something free? hey you, are you trying to be mean? if you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean"
I like: "Eeeny-Meeny-Miney-Moe Which way do you think that I should go Twiddley dee and twiddley dum Do you think that I should take my gun I want you to Kill me Kill me kill me Kill me kill me oh Won't you Kill me kill me Kill me Kill me Come on now Dip dip dip I'm gonna sink your Ship Fee-Fi-Fo There's something else you should know I'm gonna be seen I'm gonna be sure Someone gave me something But I want some more I want you to Kill me kill me Kill me kill me oh won't you Kill me kill me Kill me kill me I want you to Kill me kill me Kill me kill me oh won't you Kill me kill me Kill me kill me C'mon now" Kill Me - Space
Okay, little less scary: Beer - Reel Big Fish She called me late last night To say she loved me so It didn't matter anymore, I'll say she never cared And that she never will I'd do it all again I guess I'll have to wait until then [CHORUS] If I get drunk well I'll pass out on the floor now baby, You won't bother me no more, And if you're drinkin' well You know that you're my friend And I say I think I'll have myself a beer. [VERSE] She called me late last night To say she loved me, so But I guess You changed your mind. Well I should have known it wouldn't be all right But I can't live without her So I won't even try... [CHORUS] [VERSE] Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say, Maybe next time I'll remember what to do! (do, do, do) She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell, Said she'd do it all again She'd promise not to tell! If I get drunk well, I'll pass out on the floor now baby You won't bother me no more (and she said) It's OK boy cause You know we'll be good friends and I say I think I'll have myself a beer I think I'll have myself a Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Woaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh oh Yeah Yeah Yeah! Oooh oooh Oooh! Woohoohooo!
