Foot.ie - Soundtrack To A Season

[Peadar]

If we had a double album, soundtrack for Foot.ie, what song would you include and why?

We'll assume that we have 22 tracks per CD so that should give us plenty scope to accomodate everyone.

I'll start with

Track 1 - U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
There have been many incidents on foot.ie where the general good will of others has helped some people to do something or go somewhere which was only possible as a result of that help.
The Cork City FC and Ireland away trips being good examples.

Full track listing.
CD One
Track 01 - U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Track 02 - ABBA - Dancing Queen
Track 03 - Sultans Of Ping F.C. - Give Him A Ball And A Yard of Grass

Track 05 - Libertines - Campaign Of Hate
Track 06 - Half Man Half Biscuit - Friday Night And The Gates Are Low
Track 07 - The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Track 08 - Morrissey - You're the one for me, Fatty
Track 09 - The Stone Rosses - This is the one
Track 10 - The Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Track 11 - The Foundations - Build me up buttercup
Track 12 - The Coral - Pass It On
Track 13 - Christy Moore - Joxer Goes to Stuttgart
Track 14 - Republic of Ireland Squad 1990 - Put 'Em Under Pressure

track 2...dancing queen...cant forget our friends from malmo :D

[Ruairi]

Track 3) Sultans Of Ping F.C. - Give Him A Ball And A Yard of Grass

IMO the best football song about, driving, energetic stuff. Rumoured to be written about Dave Barry, Cork CIty Legend.

"A man can have no greater love than to give 90 minutes to his friends"

Indeed

*edit*changed to track three as the corner got in there seconds ahead of me....

[Eire06]

Track 4) N17 - Saw doctors

he he :D

[Peadar]

Track 4) N17 - Saw doctors

We need a valid reason, Eire06. ;)

[thecorner]

frère jacque....memories of the french looking at us stupid when we sang this in nantes

[Peadar]

frère jacque...

If that goes in you have to take out Dancing Queen?
One choice each at the moment.

[Eire06]

We need a valid reason, Eire06. ;)
Good fun song about how great Ireland (Galway in particular) is :D and everyone knows it

[Peadar]

I'll allow it provisionally but you might need a better argument if a more worthy song is submitted.

[Eire06]

:eek: The cheek of it there is no more worthy song dancing queen is included for Gods sake..

[Peadar]

:eek: dancing queen is included for Gods sake..


Now, now Eire06, this is my thread. :p
Dancing Queen is relevant because of a trip to Sweden by a number of posters on this forum.
I've never heard N17 being sung anywhere but have been informed that it's popular at the All Ireland Ploughing Championships. :D

[gustavo]

[Gareth]

Campaign Of Hate - Libertines
Well seeing as everyone hates Shels its pretty apt! :)

78 stone wobble - Gomez
Sorry, but this is related to one man's struggle in Cork

Cheating On You - Franz Ferdinand/Sing for Absolution - Muse
In relation to Roddy Collins secret affair with Rovers, behind Dublin City's back.

Time Is Running Out - Muse
For the end of the league campaign...or the Licencing saga!!

[tetsujin1979]

Saw Doctors - To Win Just Once

The cynics can add "away from home", instead of "would be enough" ;)

[Eire06]

we will probably sing it back its a great tune :D

Are you going to the match?? Well get it going then, you better join in hate it when I'm left singing on my own :rolleyes: :D
You'll be cursing it when your traveling back up the N17 with nil points ;)

"Song" is singular, Pete! ;)

[Gareth]

Broken Face - Pixies
What O'Callaghan must of suffered for his fall of Shame against Shels

Winterlong - Pixies
Its how we all felt in the close season

I'll stop now :)

[noby]

Half man half biscuit - Friday night and the gates are low.




Sultans Of Ping F.C. - Give Him A Ball And A Yard of Grass

...Rumoured to be written about Dave Barry, Cork CIty Legend.


Seriously?

I thought I read an interview at the time saying it was about the boy Clough.

[Peadar]

I thought I read an interview at the time saying it was about the boy Clough.

The quote came from Clough but don't think the song was about him.

[pete]

I thought I read an interview at the time saying it was about the boy Clough.

I alwasy thought was about him too but maybe they just used that for wider audience.

[Peadar]

It's bad going when we can't even fill one CD.
Eire06 will have to nominate some more Saw Doctors tracks. ;)

[Gareth]

I could recommend a load more but I am kinda over my limit of one :)

[Peadar]

Sure you're a Shels fan, you must know how to bend the rules? ;)

[Eire06]

No I'll move onto Westlife :D

On the One Road - Wolftones :rolleyes:
Someone always ends up singing it at matches.. But it is going agains the style of the album

[Peadar]

No I'll move onto Westlife :D

Well, I guess on foot.ie we are in a "World of Our Own." ;)

[Eire06]

Well, I guess on foot.ie we are in a "World of Our Own." ;)

Your just soooo funny :confused: :confused: ;) :D

[tiktok]

As no Derry or Rovers fan has contributed these (I think)

Teenage Kicks
Build me up buttercup

the respective fans renditions would bring a tear to a glass eye :D

I'd like to suggest (seeing as we're still on CD1)

"You're the one for me, Fatty - Morrissey" for all those still clinging to the idea that Dolan will be back at CCFC (or for Waterford fans now that ger O'Brien has left) :D

Controversial :eek:

[Neish]

For any big matches

This is the one: The Stone Rosses

A must

Was listen to it none stop in the run up to the Harps V Dundalk final game of season last year

[Troy.McClure]

Heard it was Clough too.

Cant have a match with Digger without the Can can or the Hokie-Pokie being sung!

Would include 'Smile like you mean it' by The Killers for Bowyer and Dyer if this included EPL games

[Risteard]

An Dearg Doom Or Put 'em under pressure or whatever the soccer version is called.
Best football song ever.

[patsh]

"You're the one for me, Fatty - Morrissey" for all those still clinging to the idea that Dolan will be back at CCFC
Controversial :eek:
Or "I Have Forgiven Jesus (Lennox) - Morrissey"
REALLY Controversial! :D :D

[Pat O' Banton]

I thought I read an interview at the time saying it was about the boy Clough.

Thought the song was made up soley of Brain Clough quotes i.e. 'if God had meant football to be played up there he would have put goal posts in the air.'

[dcfcsteve]

Eire06 - N17 is about fleeing the feckin country ! Therefore not the greatest advertisement for either Ireland or Gallimh :D

[Eire06]

Its about Missing Galway\Tuam :confused: :D

Think you and Peadar are out to get me :rolleyes:




Well I didn’t see much future
When I left the Christian brothers school
So i waved it goodbye with a wistful smile
And I left the girls of Tuam
Sometimes when I’m reminiscing
I see the prefabs and my old friends
And I know that they’ll be changed or gone
By the time I get home again.
And I wish I was on the n17
Stone walls and the grass is greener
Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams

Well the ould fella left me to shannon
Was the last time I traveled that road
And ass we turned left at claregalway
I could feel a lump in my throat
As I pictured the thousands of times
That I traveled that well worn track
And I know that things will be different
If I ever decide to go back
Now as I tumble down highways
Or on filthy overcrowded trains
There’s no one to talk to in transit
So I sit there and daydream in vain
Behind all those muddled up problems
Of living on a foreign soil
I can still see the twists and the turns on the road
From the square to the town of the tribes

[Gareth]

For them last moments that seem to last forever when your 1-0 up and the opposition is on the attack and they are looking good:
The Futureheads - Trying Not to Think About Time

If your one of them teams that seem to forever miss out and are now living in the lands of pessimism (no teams named) then this should be your season anthem:
The Coral - Waiting for the Heartaches

This one is for all the League Ref's decisions.
The Zutons - Confusion

[dcfcsteve]

Peader - Teenage Kicks and Build me Up Buttercup are 2 different tunes, not the name of a band and a tune. We need to get you up to Derry, boy...... :D

Anyone know Adam & Joe's pish-take football anthem 'Ball, ball ball; footy, footy, footy' (sadly it's an England lament). Includes the famous line "Pork pie, sausage roll, come on England - give us a goal....!".

Whilst on the theme of England footie tunes, Three Lions is by far the best footy tune ever. Though I don't want it listed, as it's English :o)

Can I have 'Joxer went to Stuttgart' then by the legend that is Christy Moore...? :) I'm sure 'whacker' from Inchicore would've been a Pat's fan....

[Gareth]

The Foundations - Build Me Up Buttercup and Undertones - Teenage Kicks to put the record straight. Teenage Kicks is the best irish pop song along with Revelate by the Frames, I am not even a frames song but its very good!

[Pat O' Banton]

Can I have 'Joxer went to Stuttgart' then by the legend that is Christy Moore...? :) I'm sure 'whacker' from Inchicore would've been a Pat's fan....

Surely as he'd never been 'outside of Inchicore' he would be a ManUre fan! :eek: ;) :D

[gustavo]

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" by The Smiths would be us usually , hopefully our current league standing isnt the haze of a drunken hour.

[Peadar]

Music isn't my forte. :o :)

[liam88]

Hapiness especially after a win is infectious on here The Coral: Find a feeling pass it on!

[thecorner]

bee gees-you win again...for city fans :D

Don't know the song, but the "Meat Pie, Sausage Roll" thing is an old Oldham chant. Smug Roberts brought it to Manch prominence with Pete and Geoff on Key103 (before they took Chris Evans money and departed to Virgin Radio).

7 Nation Army by the White Stripes would be my choice for the Town nomination. Popular terrace chant about the cup wins, and a great tune as well.

[Snoop Drog]

Track 3) Sultans Of Ping F.C. - Give Him A Ball And A Yard of Grass

IMO the best football song about, driving, energetic stuff. Rumoured to be written about Dave Barry, Cork CIty Legend.


The live version of this song on the Stupid Kid EP opens with O'Flaherty saying something like:

"This is a song about a nice footballer who plays for Notts Forest" (Crowd shouts "Nigel Clough")

This is a great song BUT IT IS NOT THE SULTANS BEST FOOTBALL SONG!

"I'm in love with a football hooligan" is pure gold :ball: :ball:

I asked my baby if she'd like to come & play
She said no way honey it's a Saturday
I know a place where we can have some fun
Let's go and see Chelsea try & kill someone!

(Should really have googled to check if they are actually the lyrics but they are the way that I remember them & that's the way I wanna keep it :D )

[thecorner]

lasgo-alone...for the u.c.d fans :eek:

This is a great song BUT IT IS NOT THE SULTANS BEST FOOTBALL SONG!
