Blimey...

Incidentally, Ringo (I presume you have some input into the musical side of things), how about getting some chants going at the next home match against Galway? "TOCCY O'CONNOR *BANGBANGBANGBANG*" is all very well, but nothing gets a crowd going like a good tune. :)

I'll even consider working out the words myself ;)

[Ringo]

Yes i have an input, into that area!!! The guy playing the drum bought it after going to the Finn Harps game, where Five or six Guys from harps out sang us. It was a 12th man for them. Indeed a few songs would be very welcome. its hard for the guy with the drum to get the crowd singing so any new songs would be very welcome!!! :p A lot of the older fans were against the drum at the start. but after the Sligo game , where it was played in Don O'Riordans ear while he tried to shout instructions & of course the subsequent we are top of the league , said we are top of the league.!!! people seem to be warming to it.

Tell me which tunes you'd like words put to, as I'll only get carried away if try to do this on my own. As much as I despise "Molly Malone", the old, familiar tunes are the best for this type of enterprise. I've done a few verses, but I doubt if they have the kind of mass appeal required (see what I mean about getting carried away ;) )

We are Dublin City
Where the football's so pretty
On the beautiful grass that we're proud to call home
Where the great Robbie Farrell
Scores goals by the barrel
Crying "Toccy!" and "Robbie!" alive, alive-oh etc

Thomas McGauley
Rises so tall, he
Can hold conversations with passing giraffes
Touch 747s
Look in on the heavens
And still put the ball in the net, just for laughs

Toccy O'Connor
Has won every honour
He doesn't need silver, he's more into gems
With trophies and medals
And the jewels that he peddles
His collection of bling's bigger than Eminem's

With Thomas and Toccy
And Weso and Andy
We hardly have use for a 'keeper at all
But just to be certain
We've Robbie and Brendan
They both leap like cats and they're both ten feet tall

Like a fox, Graham Dunning
Is wily and cunning
Big Alan O'Connor, we're sure you'll agree
Has only one habit
He scores like a rabbit
And nothing can stop him, except DDT

If you mess with Paul Crowley
When he's out on the prowl, he
Will rob you so fast it will make your mind whirl
And we've heard that Liam Neeson
Wants to play Terry Gleeson
'Cause he thinks that he makes Rob Roy look like a girl

Gavin Doyle looks quite scary
But you'd better be wary
If ever you mark him, it may well be best
To pull a sly sicky
'Cause he's so bright and tricky
He'll send you due East as he gallops due West

[Ringo]

you obviously have two much time on your hands!!!!! only kidding. we need something simple for people to remember. although, we should get them into the programme.i'm new to this, so not two sure what will have mass appeal. like the first one. :confused:

[Ringo]

Looked up the web for some inspiration!!!!

the molly malone ones a bit obscure!!!!!!!


You are my sunshine

You are my Villa, my only Villa,
You make me happy, when skies are grey
I never notice how much I love you
Until they take my Villa away


Dublin's fair city

In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
Through streets broad and narrow
She wheeled her wheelbarrow
Singing ... Bournemouth


The Greatest
(To the tune of `The Wild Rover)

And it's Aston Villa
Aston Villa FC
We're by far the greatest team
The world has ever seen

Lucky Arsenal

Lucky, lucky Arsenal!

Can we play you every week

Can we play you
Can we play you
Can we play you every week?


Can you hear?

Can you here the ****ty Sing?
No oh
No oh
Can you here the ****ty Sing?
No oh
No oh
Can you hear the ****ty sing?
'Cos I can't hear a ****ing thing
Oh oh the ****ty!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
(Used for any team who include City in their name)

Referee songs

The referee's a ****er


Who's the ******* in the black

Who's the ******* in the green
(Introduced when, the referees' shirts changed)


Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to sing
When the Wanderers win away

We shall not be moved

We shall not
We shall not be moved
We shall not
We shall not be moved
We've got the team, the score
to win the Football League*
We shall not be moved

*can be FA Cup'


The Famous

The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
And this is what he said: `**** Off''
Who the **** are Man United
Who the **** are Man United
Who the **** are Man United
When the whites go marching on, on, on

We had joy

We had joy, we had fun
We had Arsenal on the run
But the joy couldn't last
'Cos the *******s ran too fast


Score in a brothel

Score in a brothel
You couldn't score in a brothel

Who ate all the pies

Who ate all the pies?
Who ate all the pies?
You fat *******, you fat *******
You ate all the pies


Let hill die

Let him die, let him die, let him die
(Sympathy for the injured opposing player)

You're gonna get...

You're gonna get your ****in' heads kicked in

You're so ****

You're so **** it's unbelievable

Let's all have a disco

Let's all have a disco
Lets's all have a disco
La, la, la, la, Oi
La, la, la, la, Oi


Que sera

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
We're going to Wem ber ley
Que sera, sera

What's the score?

Seaman, what's the score
Seaman, Seaman, what's the score

Generally directed at your goalie (if you're winning)


We will follow

We will follow the Bolton
Over land and sea (and Blackpool)
We will follow the Bolton
On to viiiiic to ry

[Sheridan]

Bah! Philistine ;)

Okay, okay, let's salvage what we can from Molly Malone. How about a simple "Oh, Robbie Farrell, let's have a barrel of goals" ad infinitum (to Roll out the Barrel, obviously.)

Now one for Keith Maher, to the tune of David Bowie's "Starman."

There's a Maher-man waiting for a cross
He'd like to come and meet it
And show them all who's boss

There's a Maher-man
Give him an assist
He's told us not to worry
'Cause he knows he'll never miss

He told me:
Just let Marsy use it
Let the City cruise it
Let all the Vikings boogie

Maher, Maher, Maher, Maher, Maher
Maher, Maher, Maher, Maher
Maher, Maher, Maher, Maher etc

Think I'm losing the run of myself again, never mind. To the tune of Pulp's "Disco 2000."

Let's all go up to the eircom Premier
Won't it be strage when Shelbourne have to go
To the Vikings' home at Whitehall down the road

Saying goodbye to the First Division
Saying hello to Ozo and Glen Crowe
Shamrock Rovers, Derry, Cork and Bohs.

I've a 14 month old boy, some of those Barney songs could be changed( i'm going mad!)

ain't it great to be city
boom boom
ain't it great to be city
scoring goals the whole day long
boom boom
ain't it great to be city
