He took this job from you, Veneables, Allardyce, Troussier,

To the air of Bananarama's "Hey Hey Goodbye"

Giovanni

Hey Hey Hey
Trapatonni!!

What about an irish tune ....Oro sé do Bheatha bhaile is real easy and would be a rousing chant...would love to here this and it would be ours not taken from other fans..just a thought

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile! Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile!

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile! Anois ar theachtTrappattoni.

Translation is

Óró, you are welcome home! Óró, you are welcome home!

Oro, you are welcome home! Now that Trap is coming.

sinead o connor was the only link i had..i agree that cruachans is better..just wanted to give people who didn't know the song a feel for how easy a tune it is and how it could just build and build as a chant

A song about how Trapattoni got the job and what he may do over the next few months.

The Beginning - (the complete version)

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Dancing, laughing, singing to South Africa we go
Even if you tell the boys to play ca'naccio

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Fans were apprehensive with the process from the go
The last thing we suspected was a man from Milano

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

El Tel was the favourite even though we all said no
-You've forgotten more than he will ever really know

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Rumours of your in-ter-est were leaked to some journo
Gentile, Brady and yourself to form a new combo

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Postponement made us think you were a another gambling stunt
Your lawyers were just making sure you weren't being paid in Punt

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Givens, Howe and Houghton constituted the trio
They took so long we could have been in waiting for Godot

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

All the other candidates were nothing but so-so
The trio went to Austria to find a real hero

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

You may have had an offer from Chievo Calcio
You turned them down to work with our own Kevin Kilbano

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

News came through from Salzburg that you would give give us a go
The clouds were finally clearing 'long with Saipan's dark shadow

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Denis phoned Delaney with an offer of some dough
A few were not too happy and it angered the Indo

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Seeking to avenge the past to Ireland you have come
Your failure with the Azzuri was 'bout the only one

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Weekends you will travel from your home in Milano
-Don't forget we have a bhoy who's scoring for Glasgow

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Croke Park is our answer to Italia's San Siro
Better than that bowl in Rome, the home of Lazio

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Problems you encounter will not ever make you low
We're glad you have such finesse and a super strong ego

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Saw you on the youtube shouting WAS ERLAUBEN STRUNZ
Our team could use that kind of passion in the coming months

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Inspiration, Perspiration, key words as you know
-In no time at all you'll build a team of Roy Keanos

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Defensive coordination and from that the attack will flow
-That's the way you did it when you won the Scudetto

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Don't forget the backroom staff because you never know
-Any serious injury doubts just give Marco a go

Oooooooooooooh Tardelli
On the telly
Super Scream-oooooooooo

La Repubblica may say that you are far too old
-When we win one nil in Rome you'll get your chance to scold

Oooooooooooooh Giovanni
Trapattoni
Super Capoooooooooooooo

Dancing, laughing, singing to South Africa we go
Even if you tell the boys to play ca'naccio

I applaud your effort here but the reason that the PAOKara (PAOK), Artur Boruc (Celtic) and Champione (Liverpool) songs are so popular is that the complete version consists of 4 LINES!!!

This is probably because a ramdom supporter is willing and able to learn 4 lines therefore it becomes catchy, any longer and it is far too much effort and only the chorus gets sung.

A 4 line song can be sung over and over and over again building up momentum as it goes.

A PAOKara style song is a good option but it has to be limited to one version universally (or close to a lot of people) agreeing.

Why not post all PAOKara style versions and let us have a vote and then move on together????

Gio Trap,
Gio Trap,
Gio Trap,
Gio Trapattoni

Simple, catchy?

agree one hundred per cent, words are very easy to sing plus its something uniquely irish

**NeilMcD** · 02/03/2008, 5:34 PM

Yeah great song the one from the Wind that Shakes the Barley would make the hair on the back of your neck stand.

**paul_oshea** · 03/03/2008, 8:24 AM

ya, agreed so someone do something there about it...

neil: i used to live with 2 of the fellas singing that in the film, over here in london. One of the lads thought it was going to be his big break but i haven't seen him in anything since.

**NeilMcD** · 03/03/2008, 9:25 AM

Welll I will sing it in Norway no problem. I think the away trips are always going to be the places where these things start.

**Ozymandias** · 03/03/2008, 12:00 PM

agreed earlier that cruachan with shane mcgowan is the best version

**Block G Raptor** · 04/03/2008, 2:59 PM

Óró, sé do bheatha 'bhaile! will sound like the Drunken Sailor to the uninitiated so we could end up a laughing stock

**antrimgreen** · 04/03/2008, 3:53 PM

This is probably balls, but once you sing it to yourself a load of times you may think it works, if not tell me to go f**k!! Not a liverpool fan but the song they sing rafa rafa etc...

i was thinking......

G I, G I O, G I, G I O G I, G I O
Giovanni Trappatoni

Short and sweet, i like it.
