Club songs

[WoodquayBoy]

Or at least songs clubs, and club supporters, associate with.
I was listening to Ian Dempsey this morning and the 'wake up' song was Build Me Up Buttercup, and much as I am embarrassed to say it, the first two things that popped into my head were Shallow Hal and Shamrock Rovers.
Are there any other clubs that have a particular song they associate with? And not the stupid Fileds of Athenry, everyone from United fans to Munster rugby bandwagon jumpers trot that out these days, I mean a song unique to a particular club that is played at every home match without fail, and song by the fans on the road too?

[btid1]

"Hold me now" by the legend that is Johnny Logan for Bohs anyway as well as Bohemian Like You and Bohs Man being the others!!

[SunderlandBohs]

Bohs Man, to the tune of Soul Man. Quite good considering most songs like that are really crap.

[hooper1524]

In all fairness all three of the above named Bohs songs are muck. All bias aside, I mean what is with Bohs and Johnny Logan, he is crap, his songs are crap. Maybe there is a theme emerging here that Bohs relate i.e. crap.

[Da Real Rover]

We were born in the showgrounds, A man from bognor regis and a woman from the city. All songs iv never heard from other fans, and all firm favourites in the showgies.

[biscuit]

i think i heard some where that the "we were born in the showgrounds" tune was actually a reword of a loyalist song?!?!?! :eek::eek:
not sure tho!:confused:

Just to the same tune, but the words have no similarity, like the 'the only good tadhg is one with a bullet in its back'.

Yes good lad...I guess its a fair cop...we chose Johnny Logan because we are crap!The song is totally reflective of our view of our team.

And the reason we chose Bohemian Like You and reworked Soul Man to Bohs Man is also because we are crap its actually nothing to do with the striking similarities in the names of the songs and the name of the football club!!

Can I also take this opportunity to compliment you on your choice of "Build me up Buttercup" as your club song which is of course not at all crap!!

[Magicme]

Well one that I play every game and try to have it ready for team coming onto the pitch is Hard Fi's "Hard to Beat".

I particularly love the:
"Goodness No, I've never known a night like this
Can't believe it, you're so hard to beat
Hard to beat"
bit but have also been tryin to get the kids to change the words slightly of the chorus from
"You know I love ya, just wanna touch ya
Stand up, knock me right off my feet
Hard to beat
Hard to beat
Hard to beat"

To "Mons we love ya, no one can touch ya, stand up, get on your feet they're Hard to beat" etc.


Also have gotten the kids at the club to sing "His name is banana b-a-n-a-n-a" to Hollaback Girl for our goalie.

[biscuit]

never heard mons fans singing in fairness magicme?:(

[sadloserkid]

We tend to sing (maybe chant is a better word? :confused:) the birdie song when we're a goal up and time is running short. Hasn't failed us yet.

In fairness it must have been difficult for you to admit this publicly but I admire your honesty. And again you are right, Build me up butter is indeed a classic. Rovers fans after going through our many musical encylopedias and numerous EGM's of our Poetic Recital Committee decided that the lyrics of this song best mirrored the fortunes of our club and how we feel sometimes on that emotioal rollercoaster that is supporting the wonderous Shamrock Rovers. I can't help wondering that you may be following the wrong club. Our membership is always open. :D

[Magicme]

True, but am trying to change that by engaging the group of young lads who have started coming to our games.

[michaelguineys]

Everytime i hear "Baby Give it Up" by KC and the Sunshine Band i think of City and Roy O Donovan.
We used to sing it for him " na na na (etc etc!!) Roy O'Donovan, Donovan, Roy O'Donovan"
Few people have tried to adapt it to Gareth Farelly now that roy is gone!

The Ring of Fire reminds me of City too, used sing it for Kevin Doyle.

And everytime I hear the Fields of Athenry I just sing the Fields of Bishopstown!

eh go to every city home game and have done for the past 13 years.
Just havent heard that sung!

[GuisaSaigon]

not the stupid Fields of Athenry, everyone from United fans to Munster rugby bandwagon jumpers trot that out these days
True, but it was being sung at Galway United matches long before all these bandwagon jumpers, and it continues to be sung by us. Never understood why the whole of Ireland and Britain decided to adopt it:confused:

[NY Hoop]

Ring of Fire was a favourite when we won the league in 94.

KOH

[Jerry The Saint]

Yes good lad...I guess its a fair cop...we chose Johnny Logan because we are crap!!

I heard Neale Fenn came up with the idea after he worked with Johnny Logan in that McDonald's commercial.




That's tinted moisturiser ya plank! :rolleyes:

Whaaaaaaa?!?! :eek:

[sadloserkid]

Do their parents know?

[micls]

Obviously the Banks is one for us.

I'd be a big fan of 'Wise Men Say' too even though it'll be widespread enough.

Our new owners want us to have an anthem :D

[Conor H]

GUFC fans are the only LOI fans i've heard "singing" seven nation Army.

"Suspicious Minds" is a bus favourite aswell.

[Tis-smeee]

Two little boys is a firm fave in the ford

[Magicme]

Do their parents know?

Ha! eh prob not since they come to the game with their Youth Club supervisor!

:eek:

[forza]

GUFC fans are the only LOI fans i've heard "singing" seven nation Army.

.

We used to sing just after it came out ;)

Keith Dunne Dunne Dunne Dunne Dunne Dunne

[all drogged up]

For Stuart Byrne we sing

Stuey Stuey Stuey Stuey -
aaaahh ahhh aahh ahhh
Stuey Stuey Stuey Stuey -
aaaahh ahhh aahh ahhh

to the tune of Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs

There's two whole verses too. it's deadly!
can't remember the verses but there's something about

"and we get to see him
in claret and blue"
then launch into the chorus

[Jerry The Saint]

Two little boys is a firm fave in the ford

Do their parents know?

[Dodge]

GUFC fans are the only LOI fans i've heard "singing" seven nation Army.
Both Pats and Longford have.

Anyone with a player called dunne should...

AnDy Williams singing "Can't take my eyes off you" brings up cracking memories of Pats games

[SolitudeRed]

Cliftonville have been playing Dearg Doom (which means the red destroyer I believe) by Horslips at the start of our matches for years now, do any teams in the EL teams use this song by any chance?

[A face]

The Banks for Cork City is brilliant, i love hearing it because it is completely Cork City. It wasn't heard much in the last ten years or so but in the last three it has.

[Red Army]

Just to the same tune, but the words have no similarity, like the 'the only good tadhg is one with a bullet in its back'.

It comes from the song "Born under a wandering star"

[Burny89]

Teenage Kicks

[DvB]

Teenage Kicks

Have to say that song was completely ruined for me after the cup final defeat to you lot, everytime i hear it now it reminds me of that day!!

Typical Derry, have to go and ruin the one good thing to come out of the place!!:D

Koh

[michaelguineys]

a feckin hymn that was drilled into us in primary school and in mass
He is God.... reminds me of city!

He is God, He is God,
he is risen from the Shed and he is God,
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess,
That John o Flynn is god

In a city dvd even Denis Behan is laughing at it saying he feels like he is at Mass everytime the Shed break into that!!

[brendy_éire]

Live Forever by Oasis reminds me of Derry losing on rainy nights. Thinks it's something to do with 2003 season and our relegation near-miss. Still gives me a weird feeling.

[Anto McC]

Shels fans have been known to sing "Killing Me Softly" and "Feista"

[Celdrog]

For Stuart Byrne we sing
Stuey Stuey Stuey Stuey -
aaaahh ahhh aahh ahhh
Stuey Stuey Stuey Stuey -
aaaahh ahhh aahh ahhh
to the tune of Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs
I remember the day we signed him from Shels
We knew that this season was gonna go well
A top class midfielder with quality through
Now we get to see him in Claret and Blue.......
Stuey Stuey ................

For the rimini trip our songmaster rewrote Nessum Dorma :eek:
Oh Super Drogheda
Claret and Blue army
with Connor, Lynch and Webb and Gray
And Brian Shelly - he can plaaaayyyyyy
With Jason Gavin and Graham Gartland -
best defence in Ireland
and don't forget.......
Fabio
Faaabibbbiio
Faabbbbiiiooooooo

its on you tube somewhere

[Pauro 76]

Stuey Stuey ................

We miss Stuey. Town have

Mooney, Mooney, Mooney, Mooney
He scores for Section O....

Speaking of Kaiser Chiefs, I was thinking about a chorus of
'Athlone Town Are Average Nowadays' but thought better of it! :)

[BohsRichie]
