Ideas For Songs/chants

As this threads gets more and more difficult to follow we can make a separate one and keep the ideas in the first post.
Right now I'm liking the influx of ideas and the thread has a great flow to it so why stop now?
 
This song could definitely work. It's a punk song from the band Bouncing Souls. Lyrically it works, with very little changes needed. It's a great anthem for all the supporters.


Bouncing Souls "True Believers"

I've met some people along the way,
Some of them split some of them stay,
Some of them walk some walk on by,
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die
From all of these people I try to learn,
Some of them shine some of them burn,
Some of them rise some of them fall,
For good or bad I've known them all

We live our life in our own way,
Never really listened to what they say,
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers

Well you can fight or you can run,
Hide under a rock till the war is won,
Play it safe and don't make a sound,
But not us we won't back down
True believers all the way,
You and I...

We live our life in our own way,
Never really listened to what they say,
The kind of faith that doesn't fade away
We are the true believers
We are the true believers
True believers
 
@Vito The Red Bulls use that chant at the games, the only difference is "Metro" instead of "City"... einwindir einwindir They also used to play the chorus to True Believers at Red Bull arena after RB scored... not in the past 2 seasons tho, AFAIR.
 

Yeah I know... I mean, I think we could still get away with True Believers, I think it's a better choice than NY NY...
I don't know if RB ever claimed it or anything, but they did used to have it playing after goals. Now I think they play Bulls on Parade.

How about "Here we go!" by Bouncing Souls, that might work. Just change "bouncing souls" in the lyrics to "new york city / NYC"...

Yes. Even just using the chorus as a chant would be cool.
 
einwindir einwindir I meant "Ole!" by Bouncing Souls, and changing the lyrics... but Here We Go is a good one too.

Bouncing Souls have a lot of songs that would work, actually.

Lol. Yea, that's a pretty big difference. Ole! would definitely be a lot easier to get a bunch of people to sing.
 
"Ole!" with modified lyrics:

We're N Y C -
no one can beat us
we drink beer and wear adidas
anywhere we get the itch
we're off to find a proper pitch
Lace your sambas get on out
off we go to kick it about
Win or lose we're having fun
we won't quit until we're done
We got heart when we play
Take you on any day!!!

ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--
Ole Ole Ole Ole.....!!

I've always been a fan of this chant we did in high school ...
_______ (name of player on the other team) has herpes! (clap clap clap clap clap clap) to the beat tune of "let's go rangers" or really any team.
 

This could work if we just change the words around a little.

Original -
We are Sydney
The famous Sydney FC
We're from the harbor city
The boys in blue from moore park road.

pretty simple change sydney to city, change harbor to hudson and then at the end just where we will be playing (i.e. the boys in blue from the bronx)

From another thread, decided to re-post here to keep all our songs in one thread.

Credit goes to @samt (who also came up with Third Rail) for the song, and @BToto920 for the variation on the lyrics.

Andrew WK's New York City:


We Love New York City
Oh Yeah!
New York City
We Love New York City
FC!
New York City!

We’ll run you over, Run you out
Knock you down and terror your town
Move around you, (now fuck off!) move around
Talk no talk, breaking you down

We are a corporation
We are a company
We are high above you anyway
We are your mother’s nightmares
We are fighters friend
You can’t stop what you can’t end

We love New York City
Oh Yeah!
New York City
We Love New York City!
FC!
New York City!

Instead of We are a corporation, we are a company:

We are 5 boroughs
We are one/unified city (whichever goes better with the timing)
 
Instead of We are a corporation, we are a company:

We are 5 boroughs
We are one/unified city (whichever goes better with the timing)
we.are.a.cor.po.ra.tion (7 syllables)
we.are.a.com.pa.ny (6 syllables)

we.are.five.bo.ros (5 syllables) too short for first verse
we.are.un.i.fied.ci.ty (7 syllables) too long for 2nd verse
we.are.one.ci.ty (5 syllables) too short for 2nd verse

I like the concept, but needs to be altered to fit timing better.
