To the tune of 'Hill 16, La La La etc"
18 years, la la la (and so on).
what about getting the bounce going(aka swiss fans in lansdowne).looks good and most people will join in. At least it will make a change from the usual, come on you boys in green.... and ireland... ireland
Good idea looks like good craic too! I still think you can't beat the old mexican wave though either. Should be easy to start one up with 20,000 scooped Paddy's.
no offence keenan but the mexican wave has been done to death - i think the bounce sounds better (although as you say with 20,000 scooped paddy's maybe a hop, slip and roll over might be more appropriate!!) ;)Quote:

Joxer Goes To Stuttgart
It was in the year of 06’, in the Lovely!!! month of September,
When the gadflies were swarming and dogs howling at the moon,
Ah with rosary beads and sandwiches for Stuttgart we began,
Joxer packed his German phrase-book, and jump-leads for the van.
Ah well some of the lads had never been away from home before.
It was the first time Whacker put his foot outside of Inchicore.
And before we left for Europe, we knew we'd need a plan,
So we all agreed that Joxer was the man to drive the van.
In Germany the Autobahn was like the Long Mile Road
There was every make of car and van, all carrying the full load
Ford Transits and Hiaces, and an old Bedford from Tralee,
With the engine overheating from long-hauling duty free.
There were fans from Ballyfermot, Ballybough and Ballymun
On the journey of a lifetime and the craic was ninety one
Joxer met a German's daughter on the banks of the River Rhine
and he told her she'd be welcome in Ballyfermot anytime
And as soon as we found Stuttgart, we got the wagons in a ring
Sean Óg got out the banjo and Peter played the mandolin.
Oh there were fans there from everywhere, attracted by the sound
At the first Fleadh Ceól in Europe and Joxer passed the flagon round
But the session it ended when we'd finished all the stout
The air mattresses inflated and the sleeping bags rolled out
As one by one we fell asleep, Joxer had a dream
He dreamt himself and Steve Staunton sat down to pick the team
Joxer dreamt they both agreed on Shay Given straight away
And that Dunne, Duff and Finnan were certainly to play
Ah but tempers they began to rise, patience wearing thin
Staunton wanted Morrison, but Joxer wanted Doyle
And the dream turned into a nightmare, Joxer stuck the head on Staunton
Who wanted to bring Roy Keane and Kenny Cunningham back
Ah well the **** crew in the morning, it crew both loud and shrill
And Joxer woke up in his sleeping bag many miles from Arbour Hill
Ah next morning none of the experts gave us the slightest chance
They said that the German team would lead us on a merry dance
Ah with their Bundesflagge all them German fans for victory they were set
Until Robbie Keane got the ball and he stuck it in the net
What happened next is history, brought tears to many eyes
Oh that day will be the highlight of many people's lives
Well Joxer climbed right over the top and the last time he was seen
Was arm-in-arm with Steve Staunton, singing 'Revenge for Skibbereen'.
Ah now Whacker's back in Inchicore, he's living with his Mam
And Steve Staunton has been proclaimed a great Irish man.
Listen do you remember that German's daughter on the banks of the River Rhine
Ah jeez, well didn't she show up in Ballyfermot last week....
Oh we can only hope you are right there boss!
To really get the game off to a good start vocally can i suggest that we all sing the national anthem with our arms around the people on either side. Remember loads doing it in Japan, I think for the German game.
Also we do really need to get a few more songs sorted sooner rather than later. Anyone bring drum kits etc?
Good shout, hopefully everyone will sing the national anthem, but i still think the bounce looks great and most people will join in.Quote:

Singing the horslips intro to An Dearg Doom en masse would be amazing but think that would be fall into the too complicated category
correct, correct & correct.Quote:

it has to be either very familar or short (ish) in order for the masses to pick up on it
That would be brilliant but you're probably right about it being too complicated.Quote:

Jesus there were tears everywhere but very emotional
i'd be inclined to agree with you mayo (obviously risking the wrath of the so-called anti-celtic brigade) but what exactly goes instead of 'glasgow celtic' in the over and over song - perhaps 'irish footballers?'
we honestly do have so many songs to choose from that we should never use altered english songs particular discrace was 'thierry henry...' but also many others over the years.
at this stage if you think of any irish song it is automatically linked with celtic but there is no reason why we cannot use them for national team also - celtic supporters sing irish songs in order to identify with their irish roots so why can't irish supporters sing irish songs to do the same!!!
I really miss "Molly Malone". I still remember it being sung loud and clear the last time we were in Stuttgart but it seems to have fallen from grace (bit like Mollly herself).
Hows about an adaptation of The Pogues song Jacks' Heroes
Could go: TURALOU, turalou, TURALOU, turalou,
And we'll follow the Irish whatever we do!
Right, after much thought
Stan Bobby* - to the tune of Stand by Me
*obviously depending on results/tactical decisions/substitutions etc
We really do need some new terrace songs and not just rejigs of other teams
How bout The Team that Stan Built
A bit complicated, listen to the song for help
(were lucky Germany and Italy rhyme)
Kevin Kilbane, Ian Harte
Ireland's Got the best by far
Given, Finnan, Harte 'n Keano
Theyre just four of Ireland's heroes
We dont care, wholl be there
Klose, Lehmann or Shweinsteiger
Were going to shout out loud
were going to show were proud, yeah
their the team that Stan built
And when they start to play
your going to hear us say
Thats the team that Stan built
The team that Stan built
to make history
is ready for the world to see
The team that Stan built
we all agree
Will make a spark in Germany
(We dont care wholl be there)
(Luis Podolski, Torsten Frings)
We owe it all to him
And old Bobby Robson
Theyre the team that Stan built
He made them play his way
thats why we got to say
Theyre the team that Stan built
The team that Stan built
to make history
is ready for the world to see
The team that Stan built
we all agree
Will make a spark in Germany
(Steven Reid, Kevin Doyle)
they'll make German blood boil)
(We dont care wholl be there)
(No Ollie Kahn, but Phillip Lahm)
18 years ago
we put on a show (In Stuttgart)
Theyre the team that Stan built
And with our number 10 (Keano)
were going to do it again
Theyre the team that Stan built
The team that Stan built
to make history
is ready for the world to see
The team that Stan built
we all agree
Will make a spark in Germany
Stan by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stan by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stan by your man

A variation on the ''Ouest est Makalele?'' .....''We've got Duff'' (from Paris)
''Wo ist Jurgen Klinsmann?''.... ''We've got Stan''
If there was any one song that gets a crowd going its this one. The best rendition in recent years was when Munster beat Leinster in Lansdowne. It nearly brought the roof down. I know we're singing it years but it has faded a little recently would love to see it come back with a bang.

celtic fans singing....
I think it's a shame that the chorus to Molly Malone (Alive, Alive-O...) has disappeared from the rugby song list. Now that it's no longer the preserve of the rugby guys (or should I say goys?) I think it's about time the soccer crowd claimed it. It's catchy, uplifting and unmistakably Irish, even if it is a Dublin song.
The Fields of Athenry is great but wearing a little thin in my opinion. It's just too ubiquitous these days I think. My English wife asks if we ever stop singing that song and I think it's lost the impact it used to have.
Also, as the final whistle approaches I look forward to singing "Two nil to the boys in green".
Que Sera Sera , whatever will be will be, we're going to eat Swiss cheese, que sera, sera.
Instead of the most misused song in history "You'll Never Beat the Irish" how about "We always win in Stuttgart"? Before the game anyway!
Sorry...
ok last one here..
