FC Seoul. Three Syllables. N Y C Three Syllables. Wouldn't want to it to sound shoe-horned in ther.
In my experience, a correction followed by a smiley face usually means the person is right; so I stand corrected. In the video it sounded like SOUL but I also couldn't hear the slight nuance in the pronunciation. Thanks!Actually FC Seoul is 4 syllables. F C So-uhl is how you pronounce it.
If I wasn't Korean I wouldn't have caught the pronunciation either,
Regardless of the nuances, we should definitely do this chant. It is easy to learn and hopefully the stadium can get on board.
To the tune, "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof
"We are just a Rich Club"
We are just a rich club
yabba didi didi yabba didi didi didi dum
We can buy Villa and Lampard
Cause we are a wealthy club
We, don't need a loan now
yabba didi did yabba didi didi dum
Cause we are a really really rich
Really Really Really rich club!"
"We are just a Rich Club"

There are hundreds of songs about New York and I definitely think we should use some of them instead of falling into doing 10 of the same old chants that every single other MLS supporters group does. (I guess we can do that anyhow) I'm one of those fans opposed to using Sinatra's "New York, New York" or at least not using it alone since too obvious to me and think we can do better (no disrespect meant to Sinatra).
I love that some of the earlier suggestions were artists like Bouncing Souls & Andrew W.K. It might be a long shot but there is always chance artist wants extra exposure so could lead to some other connections.
I already pushed this song on Facebook but figured I should leave it here as well. I happen to be a big fan of the band (Moe) but I also think lyrics are very fitting as they mention city locations. I would just change last two lines to "New York City is going to win again" or say that after the regular "New York City is coming home again" which also seems fitting.
One-eyed man with a scar on his face and a peg leg
Drives his cab fifty miles-per-hour down Broadway
Looks at me with his crooked smile while Gershwin plays
Hits his breaks and points out the freaks on St. Marks Place
It's the rhythm of the rain that falls
It's a cab ride at 5 00 A.M
Manhattan goddess with her Levis and curls
New York City - I'm coming home again
Sit and smile thinking about summer Sundays and the roller skates
Afro wigs and rainbow socks float past like a ballet
Peanut roasters popping up on every corner, can't you taste that taste
Makes me long for an early morning ride on a subway
It's the rhythm of the rain that falls
It's a cab ride at 5 00 A.M
Manhattan goddess with her Levis and curls
New York City - I'm coming home again
You can steal a line or a phrase, the record company will cheer
Sign you up, make you an artist, make you a millionaire
Shake your hand, pat your ass, give you a big white smile
Say that they're your biggest fan, say they love your style
It's the rhythm of the rain that falls
It's a cab ride at 5 00 A.M
Manhattan goddess with her Levis and curls
New York City - I'm coming home again
It's the rhythm of the rain that falls
It's a cab ride at 5 00 A.M
Manhattan goddess with her Levis and curls
New York City - I'm coming home again
New York City I'm coming home again
New York City I'm coming home again

This English rock band, Elbow, has current single titled "New York Morning." I personally picture this more as a sloppy drunk song maybe just sung at end of night but wanted to at least suggest it to others.
The first to put a simple truth in words
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
Cause everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
Antenna up and out into New York
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
And oh my giddy aunt New York can talk
It's the modern Rome and folk are nice to Yoko
Every bone of rivet steel, each corner and angle
Jenga jut and rusted water, tower, pillar, postage sign
Every painted line and battered, laddered building in this town
Sings a life of proud endeavour and the best that man can be
Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
Planning, drilling, welding, carrying their fingers to the nub
Reaching down Into the ground, stretching up into the sky
Why? because they can, they did and do
So you and I could live together
Oh my god New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
The desire in patchwork symphony
The desire like a distant storm
For love, did it call for me?
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
The way the day begins
Decides the shade of everything
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
For every soul a pillow at a window please
In the modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko

My last New York suggestion but unfortunately there is drug reference so don't think it can be used "Lines of snow and popping corks; money, drugs and old New York"
Even if it doesn't catch on, I absolutely loved these lines. Paints such a perfect picture.
Thought I would also add that some of the harmonies are very reminiscent of Porcupine Tree. I love Porcupine Tree.
It can probably stay the same. When it came on radio today I was just replacing word "True" with "Blue" when it followed Magic. "I call it Magic, call it Blue, call it Magic."
I could also sub "New York" for "Magic" in the early part of song. "I call it New York, call it Blue, call it New York" since word Magic gets dragged out. Also whenever there is line about "next to you" I would sub something about "follow you".
I picture the supporters singing the lyrics and the entire full stadium coming in with the "ooo ooo ooo ooo" parts of song.
I disagree ..we didnt do this by ourselves nor did we invent the sport ...be NY ..Be humble our roots go way back and so should our club's
And frank sinatra sang it aswell..doesnt get anynore NY than ol' blue eyes... #jussayin
I'm starting to think you're a troll account Sunshine United. You've been on this forum for all of a day and have almost exclusively posted about MCFC and Blue Moon while using the most annoying writing style possible (spelling, thiissssss.. lmao, no periods, random capitalization, constant hashtags).
If you're not trolling then please take the advice someone else gave you on another thread and read up on the debates that have already happened on this issue and try to get a feel for the culture on this site.
