ok we have the numbers now we need to work on more chants!!!!!!

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9hI-YJt09g[/ame]

I still don't know why we haven't stolen this chant and made it into the super frankie hejduk song. It fits perfectly.

 

We did this song a lot actually.

SUPER SUPER FRANK
SUPER SUPER FRANK
SUPER SUPER FRANK
SUPER FRANKIE HEJDUK!

 

I was gonna say I've sang the Super Frank chant on a number of occasions. It hasn't taken off like Ale's song but it has been done. It's mostly HHM who tries to get it going as I recall.

 

We have a number of chants that V-Army/CSU have been doing for years that didn't get sung much outside of our section this year once we started to get packed.

Here's most, but not all of them are on the site.

 

Talking of the site, where do you actually join?

 

its easy to suggest/come up with new songs but it very hard to get them into rotation at games. You can find a thousand songs on youtube or wherever that could be used with most of them using the same song form (most are based off of kids/folk songs) but the reality is that there is a large majority of people who don't know these songs types, dont care to learn or they get killed off by one of the four songs that are done over and over.

the songs that we do use the most are ones that can be used at anytime throughout the game. we don't have that many songs that are spontaneous and reactionary. these are the songs that usually have the same song type but interchangeable lyrics. unfortuantley, for some reason these just don't catch on.

chants tend to be the popular thing and not songs. there were lots of times when I could hear super frank starting and then it got killed by people who are not familiar with super frank chanting "Frankie Hejduk clap clap clap" over and over. People don't have to learn anything to chant something basic over and over.

I am sure this is a topic that has been discussed several times over the years. I have only been on this board since early this year, but I know enough to know that most people on here have good song ideas or want to do songs but the problem seems to be the stuff I just mentioned.

 

What you said. If we keep things extremely easy, we have a higher chance of getting new people to join in.

However, if we add new stuff, it keeps things fresh to the people who have been doing the same things over and over again.

 

I always wondered why No One Likes Us never took off.

 

It's those songs that some often request that are iffy because a few in the sections are 'conservative'. There's those who think some singing is gay, corny or might not have the commitment to learn Spanish words. I think the newer , more simple chants can do well next season especially if the K.I.S.S. method is applied.

 

I gotta admit that I'd love to see YSA replaced with something else, having heard the NYRB crowd use it as well.

 

Keep It Simple Stupid

 

Um, hello?? It's an original Chicago Fire occurance. The fact that we do it now should be shame-inducing.

May YSA die a sudden ignominous death.

 

the key is to have people who know the song spread throughout the section and not just be centralized in one place. This way the people in between them can start to pick it up. Once again though, one of the 4 popular songs will probably get started over top of it and then drown out the new song because the casual fan knows it and would rather sing something they know. I am sure that all 3 main groups attempted new songs this year but they didn't gain steam outside of their loyal group and then got smothered by "We love you" or "Yo Se Le Voy.'

 

Corrcet me if i'm wrong but these are the big songs...

Yo si la voy
We love ya
Oh a oh
ysa
Oh when the Crew

There are several others that never really get beyond one section at a time as well. I think rather than come up with new songs, we should make two or three more rise to prominance.

I think the following are close but need that extra push....

We hate...also think we should replace Red Bull with Toronto
Columbus *clap clap clap*
There's only one
We shall not be moved
Dale...but the rather awkward change in tempo halfway through always kills it


At the end of this year LTA had a new song that i liked but i don't know the words to the middle verse.

 

Though I personally take no offense to YSA, I do find it hard to get into at times. I like the build up of the entire section yelling "ohhhh"...so keeping with the same syllables, how about exchanging YSA with "we are massive". Just an idea. The only negative I can immediately think of is that it may overplay the whole massive angle if you take in consideration the spontaneous "we are...massive chants."

 

I agree I like YSA better too, its done everywhere but i still love it.

I agree those songs get sung but they aren't regular standards, i'd like to see them reach the same leval as the others and it would be easier than learning a whole new song.

 

1. We Shall Not Be Moved needs to be done more.
2. You've got an entire offseason. No reason everyone couldn't learn Yellow by Coldplay.
3. Need some more cheers.

Oh Columbus
OH COLUMBUS
Is Wonderful
IS WONDERFUL
OH COLUMBUS IS WONDERFUL
ITS FULL OF WENDYS, COWS, AND BUCKEYES*
OH COLUMBUS IS WONDERFUL!

*line could use some tinkering

Lets go ********ing mental.
Lets go ********ing mental.
Na na na na .
na na na na .

Anybody got a song to these tunes?
Torres song
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpV0ygkmhP4[/ame]
From "A Knight's Tale"-
He's blond, he's pissed, he'll see you in the lists, Lichtenstein! He's blond, he's tanned, he comes from Gelderland, he comes from Gelderland! Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland... Gelderland, Gelderland, Gelderland...

^^same tune, when a player misses a bad shot for the other team
He shot, he missed, he must be ********ing pissed, (name)

If Iro gets big(figuratively speaking), a "Hi-Ho" song?

If Noonan gets big-
Oh Noonans ********ing magic
He wears a magiv hat
And when he saw Columbus
He said I fancy that
He said no to New England
Or New York cuz they're shite
He signed here for Columbus
Cuz we're ********ing dynamite

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go...........

COOOOOOOME.......ONNNNNNNN........COOOOOLUMBUS..........

I'm just spitballin here.

 

We need to get some more people to learn these that we already do:

You are my Rogers
My Robbie Rogers
You make me happy
When skies are gray
When it's pouring
You just keep scoring
Please don't take my Rogers away!

He's fast, he's quick, he's name's a porno flick!
Emanuel, Emanuel!

Super, Super Frank,
Super, Super Frank,
Super, Super Frank,
Super Frankie Hejduk

We also used to do the Great Escape song with Columbus thrown in, but one we got larger in number it was too hard to get people to join in since it would usually end up getting overpowered with something else.

Also, Columbus till I die is a standard everyone has seemed to overlook so far in the thread and the "oh oh" song is called vindaloo
