AMMENDED

week 1 (5th - 11th): compiling chants (includes creating them)
week 2 (12th - 17th): finalizing a good 13/14 solid / designing
week 4 (19th - 25th): finding volunteers to help distribute / printing
week 5 (26th & 27th): printing
CCL Game: Handing out

post chants you think should make the cut for the songbook that's going to be handed out prior to the CCL RSL game, including a short description of why it should be chosen. any information on how the chants have gone over previously, including links/mp3s/videos would be beneficial.

this is an opportunity for all of those who said "why wasn't _______ on the last songbook!" to have their voices heard. so let's hear it!

tune of: Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones

Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!

The keeper's losing his mind!
You put it through a tight wind!
Because he's off of his line!
The Southside Hops!

Defenders feeling defeat!
They're generation steam heat!
You're ruining their clean sheet!
The Southside Hops!

Hey! Ho! Dero!
Put it in the net now!
What a shot, now they know
Dwayne De-Rosario!
(or: T-F-C are ready to go!)

The keepers riding the pine!
Fullbacks are going to resign!
You put it into the twine!
The Southside Hops!

Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!
Hey! Ho! Dero!

bumping because i don't want to have to answer questions about the songbook when it's printed. also, if someone could put me in touch with a capo, that'd be awesome.

I think this would be awesome, but I have a feeling some people might not like it

Let's pretend,
Let's pretend,
Let's pretend we scored a goal,
Let's pretend we scored a goal...

Love this one, and I think we definately need to do it eventually

Sing yer hearts out,
Sing yer hearts out,
Sing yer hearts out for the lads,

I have a Mista song that I am trying to close off. (hopefully he steps up so we can sing it).

To the tune of Doctor Doctor by the Thompson Twins:

Oh Mista Mista,
Cant you see we're burnin' burnin

(the last line im struggling with - feel free to suggest alternatives)
Can you score a goal to save us

Not when you repeat it ad nauseam it's not. Overuse has reduced it to the quality of "FIIIRE ! etc."

^ who ? I was in 127 for the Cruz Azul game and was subjected to a 90 minutes +/- of repetetive chanting. There were at least three versions, but they aren't unique enough to be able to differentiate after a while. It all becomes OLE-OLA-ALLEZ, or something.

And just try and bust out anything that hasn't been authorized by the Capo... but maybe that's how it is in the Supporter Sections. The best part was when some guy was just grunting into the megaphone and his disciples would grunt back.

I don't get it.

This one for sure.

However, the real benefit of the song sheets are for people who do not already know the words and tune. So, unless you can write "to the tune of X", where X is a famous tune everyone will know, then having the words alone won't be of much benefit. By the time people have figured it out it will be over.

So being able to put "to the tune of let it be" or "living on a prayer" will really help, because people will instantly be able to work with it and join in when they hear that tune being sung.

I guess my point is, it's not how good the chants are, it's how likely the chant sheets are to have the desired impact among people who do not already know them.

Just my 2 cents...
