Team Tune

[Ali]

Just reading through tuesday nites programme and i saw that they are trying to come up wit a song to welcome the team onto the pitch any ideas i think 'we will rock you' is a classic and would get the crowd goin for sure.

[derm]

How 'bout "I get knocked down but I get up again" or whatever it's called. Every team needs to cultivate a fighting spirit.

[NorthoftheLee]

I always think the old rocky song is the job...:)

dent...dent dent dent ...dent dent deeent
dent...dent dent dent ...dent dent deeent
Rising up ........etc etc.....

???????

[paudie]

Call me old fashioned but I think we should have "the Banks".

Its a uniquely Cork song, everyone knows it and will sing it, even people in the stand.
Imagine the whole Cross singing it as City come out for a big game against Bohs or Rovers.

"we will rock you" etc are played at grounds all over the world. We should have a song that says "we're from Cork, this is our patch and we're going to bust a gut to win this game"

I think people can email their suggestions for songs.

[joe]

i remember a few years back this topic was being discussed on an old cork city forum and a somewhat surprisingly popular nomination was 'The Hustle'

that's what they play in waaaaaaaaaaterford, innit? ;)

[fonzi]

first and formost i dont think we should have an overused cheesey song for the players to run out to.
its got to be something corkonian anyway, but those speakers are still cr*p and what diffrence would it really make to hear music piped out of a 'tin box'.
if we pulled a bohs and got some nice speaker system in it would work a treat.

i beg to differ. if anything the music was too loud before tuesday's match - had to shout just to be heard by guys standing right next to me!

[Dricky]

O Fortuna from "Carmina Burana"

[razor]

The speaker system is a disaster especially in The Shed.
They have gone from can't hear them to can't hear yourself.

Beware the deafness claims !!!

The ultimate solution is to give the microphone to Noelle and leave herself blast out a few all time favourites.

:D

[Schumi]

How about "The biys are back in town"!

[fonzi]

a bit of rory gallagher would be flippin mental!
especially one of his tunes about cork!

[Muppet]

"We Will Rock You" belongs more to something like gladiators.
How about "Can't Help Falling in Love" by the King? It's a song that for years was the main shed anthem and could be timed so that the chorus bursts out just as the team is coming on. I never heard any other set of fans sing it un The away team should come out second, to the laurel and hardy music, or the circus tune, or if it's rovers, the Imperial Death March from Star Wars.

[foureyes]

"Give him the Ball and Yard of Grass" by the Sultans of Ping FC. The song could be about Georgie, our modern day Nigel Clough.

A RAT TATTAT TATTAT TATTAT TAA

Never mind Noelle, give the mic to Greg when he's coming out onto the field and he'll get us all going! :D

Very funny! :rolleyes: Anyway thats $hel$ one

I think that De Banks should be the one. Its all about Cork and sport and for a local team and local supporters, what could be better?

They used have the theme from 2001:A Space Oddisy during the Mountfield days and I think that it just didnt work although its a cool bit of ceol.

[eoinh]

There should also be a "sound " thats played when we score like they do in Holland or Belgium. Feyenoord have a great one, it sounds like a Foghorn.

It sounds great. Gets the stadium rocking.

I don't think de banks is a good sound for the purpose intended as not really loud enough.

I think all they need a decent but different tune & makes no difference if no sporting or cork connection.

Not if it were to be re-worked ot something like we sing in the shed.

How about a competition for CMN (Cork Music Network)

Ah it does really ...... Think ....... If it was the banks ...... Playing on the speakers ....... AND everyone in the ground singing it aswell.

PURE MAD LIKE !!

[steven17]

how about "welcome to the jungle" by guns n roses intimadating classy and a great rock tune.always thought someone should have it as there intro music.

Next you'll have us acting like ****s, wearing kilts and testing cigarettes for cigarette companies. :) .....

Could be a bad sign aswell G'n'R were only a flash in the pan when you think of it, ..... City are an institution in their own right.

[fonzi]

theres no 'DEATH' IN IMPERIAL MARCH.

[steven17]

hey if you wanna wear kilts and smoke cigies thats fine by me !!!!!!!! just pla the intro in your head and screaming at rovers,bohs,"welcome to the jungle we got fun and games we got everything you want honey we know the names " (ok bit of a fan of g.n.r but could be a winner

[Neil]

how about "Neurodancer" by Wippenberg...
maad ****in tune biy!

or the Balla?

[Satoshi]

Hows about 'We Come One' by Faithless. thats pretty banging, kind of has a resonance for Cork City as well, being a one club city and all that.

[Satoshi]

Or hows about that song ( dont know the name )

'Come together right now, oh yeah, in sweet harmony lets come together' and so on

[Gary]

"Wheres me jumper" would be good

Ball and Chain!

:D


"Steal My Sunshine" - Len


Imperial march for when an away team scores.

[Soko]

Yeah Ball and Chain rocks biy!!

[Snatch]

"Give 'em a ball" from the the Sultans of Ping F.C.

Georgies Song? (http://ping.fishtank.org.uk/mp3/Casual%20Sex%20In%20The%20Cineplex/)

Yeah think they could play that just for Georgie as long as doesn't go to his head. :D

[tiktok]

i reckon if we can't have 'quando quando quando', by englebert humperdinck

then it should be a franks or sultans song

in fairness can you imagine the shed bouncing along..

"my brother knows Karl Marx.....

priceless

[patsh]

I would nominate "Fanfare for the Common Man" by Aaron Copeland.
"Prog Rock" giants (:o ) Emerson, Lake and Palmer had a hit with it a few years ago.
The ELP version has the Trumpet Fanfare to start followed by quite a stirring drumming sequence.
And we are, are we not, Common Men??........;)

[Peadar]

"Right Here, Right Now" by Fat Boy Slim.
or
If anyone has the album from Euro2000 there's some belting tunes on that.
It's got to be something with a build up to loud bass to get the pulse racing and fire up the team.
Can't see De Banks doing that.

Know any good download site where it's available to for listening?

[Peadar]

Found it.
Right click HERE (http://www.mp3dimension.com/dl/17796/ffcommon.mp3) and "Save Target As..."
File size is around 2.98Mb
It's starts off alright but it never really gets going.
We need something that really takes off.

[Satoshi]

Thats very poor in my opinion, too slow.

Nice song though, sure I heard it on that 'Band of Brothers' show was it

[eoinh]

ild suggest "the sound of the suburbs" by The Members.

just change the word suburbs for city, its a real thumbing number.

Have to agree with you there. Would be good tune as the teams walk out but as you say it never ups the tempo at all.

[Troy.McClure]

Im not budging on The Banks. THe whole ground could sing it, from the Family section to the corner, St Annes end to The Shed (and, God forbid, the Donnie Ford).

If I were a Cork born player, playing for Cork City, there's no other song Id rather hear!

[Dricky]

"OLD SPICE OLD SPICE
DA DA DA DA
OLD SPICE OLD SPICE..."

:D :D

It's sure is that and Excaliber

[patsh]

What about the Chemical Brothers "Here we Go"
(Is that the title?)
OR
the tune Trevor uses for the BRB?

I beg your forgiveness, Comic Store guy:D

[Dricky]

Nah didn't think so

Ahhhh it's Chips its Chips its got to be chips...

Sure whats Terrance doing these days?? Could get him to lash out an auld number one hit in support of the team!!

Or how about the piece that Anderlecht and Club Brugge play when they score. Absolutely mental little piece.

No?

Absolutely NOT. I don't know the name of it, seeing as in all probability it's not an Irish/British piece, but IMO, it would work a treat.

[fonzi]

it's alright muppet, i'll leave you off on that one.

what about some home-boy ganst rap?
you know we livin' it uuuup!

[Dricky]

No one has brought up the 80's classics yet Conor hang your head in shame.

^Wendy James where are ye??

No ramblers have booked that song for the next time they get promoted :p
