Honestly what gives with hijacking songs????

So something like "New England Roads, take me home to a place I belong, Connecticut River, Green Mountain Mama"

 

I didn't make the decision, but I assume its because RMH can be a pain of a tune to carry in places of the song. And "West Virginia Mountain Mama" is replaced with "Colorado See The Rapids"

Huh, never knew the Revs had a version. Why are you using songs from a guy who sang about Colorado?

 

To be honest (and I'd like to have a little rivalry back-and-forth but the YSA is taking a lot out of me) it's because, while there are literally hundreds of songs about Boston, there are none about New England.

And, while we're on the subject, (I've decided to get a little rivalry-y, I'm slightly over it) where do you get off talking to me about geographic ties, when you're stealing a song about The Least Important Virginia (by default)? Go Mountaineers!

 

Hey, we get all his songs by default. His last name was Denver and he lived in Colorado.

 

Once pro/rel comes in and WV Mining Town FC joins the League, you're going to have egg on your face

 

By the time MLS adds pro/rel I won't have a face, because I'll already be dead.

 

"New England" by Jonathan Richman

 

That MLS team song thing has the stink of some hipster with a fancy job at an ad agency not having the slightest clue.

I bet he had a nice few months of feeling really ********ing important while he gave out many thousands of dollars of someone else's money to his favorite bands.

 

Billy Bragg wrote a song about "New England" too, but I don't think it counts.

 

Most hijacked songs aren't originals anyway. I don't care as long as it's creative lyrics and the new songs keep coming.

 

We've been known to clap in unison

 

Here's how I see it, and my views don't necessarily represent my friends' views... but...

1: A group shouldn't care if other groups' songs are unoriginal. It's gonna happen because it's happened for hundreds of years, but don't let it bother you.

2: The group you're in uses unoriginal songs, and don't let that bother you, either.

3: If "Originality!" is your thing, than strive for YOUR group to do more original things, and have fun with it and don't worry about other groups.

4: If someone else eventually catches on to "your original thing", please see #1.

5: VERY few things are truly original. You THINK you thought of it, but others were probably doing it somewhere else in the world with only SLIGHTLY different lyrics, so don't let it bother you.

6: Now in reference to #4, be flattered. Seriously... you came up with something new... you got others to join in... and you're fairly certain YOU did it first. Well done! Don't get butt-hurt that some other team's fans are doing it... be proud of yourself that you enhanced the soccer experience in MLS.

7: I'm still pushing for more teams to yell "BUKAKKE!*" instead of "You Suck A$$hole!", but it's an uphill battle. But you know what I'd do if EVERYONE did it? I wouldn't let it bother me. Seriously, go to the game and have fun.

* It's so much fun yelling "Google it!" to the soccer moms with perplexed faces...

 

Yelling bukkake on a goal kick is creepy and gross and not funny/entertaining in any way.

 

I don't know why we don't just say "¡********!" after kicks. Soccer moms and Security Guards don't understand Spanish, so it won't bother them (for the most part).

 

That's been hilarious at the U-17 tourney. Even the commentators have had a laugh over it.

 

Uhhh dude, just a heads up:

Vancouver Southsiders have been singing "Boundary Road" to the same tune as Country Roads since 1999. If you're going for team specific, we beat you to it by 12 years.

 

I didn't say it was original, just that we were making a team specific version.

 

It's a shame that now that Vancouver is in MLS that the song is now buried under the standard set of songs that every other team also sings as the original poster was lamenting about.

 

True.

False.

 

Do you really want to be that supporter/supporters group that yells sexually demeaning things?Yelling that just makes you look like a giant douche bag.

 

Nope.

I want to be the supporter group that yells original sexually demeaning things.

 

Fee Fie Foe Fum
Whitecaps (any team not named toronto) are a bunch of scum







Thank you.

 

dude, not cool, the pillow fight club in SJ did this back in 1996.

 

OK, I admit, I LOLed at this.
