Chants for Paris

Paris is less than a month away now. With 20,000 odd expected to travel, we have a huge oppurtunity to rock the joint. A lot of criticism has come in for support (not away support it must be said) on these boards but we now have our best oppurtunity for years to scale new heights of support with the hope that it can be carried back to Lansdowne Rd. I know that people travelling wont need much encouragement to sing their lungs out for the 90 minutes. We can turn the screw on the French and make them intimidated in their own back yard and be Irelands proverbial 12th man hail rain or snow. I know it seems a bit plastic to try and arrange chants. Any thoughts on mixing a bit of old with a bit of new...

1. Que Sera
2. Ireland's Call from the rugby brotherhood
3. National Anthem
4. Fields of Athenry
5. All ya need is Duff
6. No Regrets
7. .... my own composition

Lemon Tree
I wonder how, I wonder why,
Yesterday ya told me 'bout the Blue and White
But all that I can see is just another Stephen Reid

Hes turnin his head up and down.
Turnin' Turnin' Turnin' Turnin' Turnin' around
and all that I can see, is just another Stephen Reid

and I wonder, wonder, I wonder how, I wonder why,
Yesterday ya told me 'bout the Blue and white
But all that I can see, But all that I can see, But all that I can see,
Is just another Stephen Reid :D

to the tune of the entertainer (or all the Bohs you know for the younger among you)

Tell all the French you know, that Henry is not going to score
Tell all the French you know, that Pires is not going to score
Tell all the French you know, that Cisse is not going to score
With no points you'll be leaving, cause we've got Shay Given
No Frog puts the ball in our goal. :o

as usual, improvements welcome....

We're all part of Brian's army,
we're all off to Germany.
And we'll really shake 'em up,
when we win the World Cup
'cause Ireland are the greatest football team.

As a bit of an environmentalist (or mentalist as others refer to me) how about a bit of recycling...
Gary Breen is unlikely to start so what about 'A team of Robbie Keane's' instead?

Don't think 'Ireland's Call' should be sung at all.

It's a rugby song and was brought in by them solely to keep the players and supporters from Northern Ireland happy. In rugby we are united as 1 nation

In football there are 2 separate teams so technically we are not 'together standing tall' and neither are we 'shoulder to shoulder'

I agree. It's an awful dirge, and frankly not one of Phil Coulter's finer moments. As for what to sing though, well, I'm still scratching me head...

Don't know that one, it must be before my time ;)

How about something cool and catchy like "Hey Baby" when we score a goal :D

If Graham Kavanagh is playing, how about "Kav is goina get'cha, Kav is goina get'cha."

To the tune of Sean South from Garryowen.
It was on a bright October day with the pints of stout put down
And a lorry load of football fans approached the small French town
There were fans from Dublin and from Cork, from Sligo and Athlone
and their hero was a Leeside man, Roy Keane from Corks proud town.

Ah Jesus P, despite inserting Sligo instead of, say, London, I was with you all the way until the last line. He's no hero of mine. Selfish ****wit is about the best I can find to say about him. Only it won't fit with the tune. Try this instead:

"And the arrogant **** who's our number 6, he's Keane and he rooms alone..."

"And their hero was a football God, Brian Kerr from Dublin town"???

Leader instead of hero if you prefer.

8. Willie Nelsons On the Road Again

What does a man have to do to get some praise around here. I though this was a deadly chant. Not an ounce or recognition.

and Willie Nelson crept in at the bottom and nobody batted an eyelid. Does this mean that were gonna be singing Willie Nelson a la Francaise

Keeping up the recycling theme...

Oh Ahh Kavanagh, ooh ahh Kavanagh ( assuming he starts and plays a blinder...so maybe not.)

Or Maybe

Ou est Zinedine, ou est Zinedine...

Just to remind them of what they are missing...

I like it, but it will only work if we're winning. If we are, you could also sing, to the tune of Chers 'Where's your mamma gone'

Where's your Zidane gone, where's your Zidane gone?
Where's your Thuram gone, where's your Thuram gone?
Far, far, away...

Where's Makelele gone, where's Makelele gone?
Where's Lizarazu gone, where's Lizarazu gone?
Far, far, away... :D

We'll also be singing plenty of 'Who Are ya'? to some of the French players, judging by their selections in the last few games.

My song list would be....

1. Que Sera
2. Come on you Boys in Green
3. On The One Road
4. Fields of Athenry
5. All ya need is Duff
6. We're all part of BrianKerr's Army....
7. Oh Ahh, Kavanagh....
8. Stand up for the boys in green
9. Team of Robbie Keanes
10. Keano, Keano (Roy)
11. The Robbie Keane song (to the tune of New York, New York) - It was posted on another forum recently.

You know that 1980's song 'Cars'? Someone could surely make up a song about Stephen Carr?!
