Niagara Hammer Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am still partial for this as a MNT anthem. THE MAPLE LEAF FOREVER. This is the ANNE Murray Version. It is less paternalistic than the original. The first 1:10 or so is more than ample. You could even cut it off about 0:50 mark. Other versions If you don't know what I mean by the old version here it is. another 'New' version. It is a bit too up tempo for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanKeay Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Its gonna be easy to get this all done, there are a core group of guys who have been to canada games togeather and can start the group up. There is a megaphone, the chants are simple and can be picked up easily. Its going to be REALLY tough though if you guys want to try and sign songs because they will be butchered. Quick chants work, and daniel is 100% right the TFC massive is so badly done because of a need for people to shout and not "sing". Dont worry, if we can get a few leaders starting things we will have the group for a few hundred going nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As should "Come on you reds" and "When the reds..." Short simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaliam Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 just a few ideas for easy short chants: (to the outhere brothers - Boom boom Boom) Its Hume Hume Hume, let me hera you say way-o Way-o I said its Hume Hume Hume (it could be "its Iain Hume" instead of "Hume Hume Hume") (to The Beatles - let it be) - This could really be used for Klukowski or anyone who's name ends with the phonetic i Its Issey, its Issey, Its Issey, its Issey, whipping in balls of beauty, Its Issey. (to the Seven Dwarfs "Hi-ho" song from snow white) De-ro, De-ro, He's off to score a goal, He'll shoot, he'll pass, He'll kick your ass, De-ro, De-ro, De-ro , De-ro (to Jesus Christ Superstar) C-A-N A-D-A World Cup 20-10 We're on the way (Or South Africa 20-10 We're on the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuscan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I do enjoy the De-Ro one sang to Day-o, as well as that 7 Dwarfs one. Sad I'll miss Friday's match in Montreal so hopefully a few of you will be making the trip out to Edmonton for the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillium Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well having heard a number of chants recently in Brasil, I personally like the affect of At Let I Co ... repeated ... when they score a goal etc. I think the problem is with each new local for a game you dont have carry on of chants and growing knowledge... of when to do what and sing what or shout what. That is why its so sad the National Stadia seems to be on the way to being a bit of crock... So for no particular reason then it should be lovely sunny June day in Montreal... a simple chant..( not all chants need to make sense in context of game or players ). Montréal ensoleillé which simply means Sunny Monteal .. as in sunny Montreal when we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Spiers Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 This team is your team, this team is my team From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island From the Arctic Circle, to the Great Lake Wa-a-ters This team was made for you and me We’ve got de Guzman, and Paul Stalteri We’ve got Radzinski, and Mike Klukowski We’ve got Pat Onstad and Dwayne De Ros-ar-io This team was made for me and you. You can easily substitute Greg Sutton for Pat Onstad depending on the starting line-up. Feel free to add/substitute other players but I haven't found anything that is close to rhyming with Issey Nakjima-Farran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Surely, if we're going to have a song/chant for Issey Nakajima-Farran, we should be looking to Toni Basil for inspiration. How cool would it be for ten thousand hosers to sing: Hey, Issey. You're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey, Issey. Complete with rhythmic clapping and foot stomping. I think it'll go down a treat with fans and players after he scores or sets up a goal on Friday. It'd be a great welcome for a young fellow who has only recently discovered his place in God's country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soju Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Reposting of the updated song sheet for anyone interested. I've gone through and took most of the songs from this thread (some from past threads) and pasted them here. I know I missed a few so tweak as needed. Pitching that those in attendance sing "Heart of Gold" in the 86th minute to introduce a proper supporters song for the team and honour the 1986 accomplishment, what do you guys think? Like everyone abroad I wish I could be there. Please let us know which songs/chants were hits and misses. Oh and drink a lot, that'll help it along nicely. *************VOYAGEURS CANADIAN SONGS/CHANTS*********************** -------------Print me and give me to drunk Canadians--------------- "We shall not be moved" We shall not, we shall not be moved We shall not, we shall not be moved Because we are, the pride and soul of Canada We shall not be moved! ----------------------------------------- "We're dynamite" We're red!

matthew Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 This is - in my opinion - the best song/chant I've heard in a long time. And unless I'm mistaken, are TFC supporters starting to use it? I thought I heard it two weeks ago. Anyway skip ahead to 0:45: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zHLWclMs_Pw I think we would change "because we support St. Pauli" to something like "because we come from Canada". I just think it's great and has a real "we know this isn't the 'in' thing and we don't care" vibe about it that I like. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sébastien Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Developping on something I had started... To the tune of With a Little Help From my Friends (Beatles): Who do we have that's over six feet tall Who can jump, head it or strike to score. If he's in the air, you'll never get the ball Others tried and have failed before. We score goals with the help of Rob Friend We win matches with the help of Rob Friend We kick (insert opposing country's name here) ass with Rob Friend! Another one... To the tune of On the Road Again (Willy Nelson): On the road again We can't wait to get on the road again We're gonna go to South Africa twenty-ten And we can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again, Going somewhere we've already been So long ago we can't even remember when We're going to South Africa twenty-ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hehe I enjoy what you did with the chorus of the Beatles tune. I hope someone gets at least audio of some of the chants in action at the Aug 20th game at BMO, I'd like to hear exactly how some of them go so I can properly join in in Edmonton.

canadian_bhoy Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I like the this land is your land chant. But why change it to a soccer context? I think it would be great, considering its a national team game, to keep the original lyrics. Here are some others I suggested on another MB. Log Drivers Waltz ------------------ For he goes burling down and down white water that's where the log rider learns to step lightly burling down and down white water the log riders waltz pleases girls completely (i guess that part is kinda ...you know) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=rPDi9DzihrE I'm a Lumberjack and I'm ok ----------------------------- I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok I sleep all night and I work all day http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=clPYfaTvHT0 Littlest Hobo ------------------------ There's a voice keeps on callin me down the road that's where I'm gonna be Every stop I make, I make a new friend Can't stay for long I turn around and I'm gone again Maybe tomorrow I'm gonna settle down Until tomorrow I'll just keep movin on http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=PINxfouNQFw Farewell to Nova Scotia (just the chorus) ------------------------------------------ Farewell to Nova Scotia, you sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away on the briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh and a wish for me? http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=Owy0__HhQ3U Barrett's Privateers (Chorus only) -------------------------------- God damn them all! I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold, We'd fire no guns - shed no tears; Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier, The last of Barrett's Privateers. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=yME2Obh7QPY&feature=related I also found this "great canadian tune boook"...in case anyone fancies going through it for good tunes. http://members.shaw.ca/tunebook/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
