We love you, we love you, we love you,
and everywhere we'll follow, we'll follow, we'll follow
that's because we're Irish, we're Irish, we're Irish
and thats the way we like it, we like it, we like it.
I think it stands the 10 beer test ... four lines .. key words ... "love" .. "follow"... "we're irish" .. "we like it" ..
would be great to see the davin rocking to that
We can all post all we want but by the time the game comes around it will be up to the 6 lads with a drum and a bit of balls to get the rest of the herd going.
Great to see though some new material being at least discussed..always find it funny when we score in a big game ... the spontaneous OLE OLE OLE comes to the surface again .. the ultimate beer friendly song .. .can't forget that one word.
I would love to see the horslips "an dearg doom" being played when the teams come onto the pitch ... its more of a battle song .. bit more intimidating ... one road is great for during the match .. and would 10000% agree with jbyrne's plea for no music after a goal.... I'm still getting slagged by ex-colleagues from spain and italy who I brought to richmond park and witnessed the "who let the dogs out" song after a pats goal

As you said yourself....The guys with the Drums and balls will get everyone going...AND it simple to learn..so EVERYONE can join in....
It has all the elements of a classic terrace chant, might even fit on the back of a t-shirt for those behind to catch on to the lyrics. On another topic Cul and the Gang could be the name for the SS judging we are behind the goal in the canal end.
North,south,east and west
we love ireland d'ar the best

ye that derry chant is brilliant we ll have to do it
would anyone support 'hold me now' being sang?
Dunmore's number 1 football fan led the whole away end in Daniel O'Donnell's "I want to dance with you" in Copenhagen at the U21 game in October 92. So if we can sing Daniel songs Johnny Logan is no problem. :DQuote:

repeated ad nausim
he's not irish and the song has nothing to do with football and is 100% total cheese.... but it would be hilarious if the whole section took it on for five or six minutes constant!!!!

Another great Irish classic sung at football, was when Shels played us at Il Stadio Via Stazione the night of the Eurovision song contest, a mass rendition of ''My lovely Horse'' by the Devine Comedy and Father Ted broke out by a group of Shels fans which was joined in by everyone else in a europop love vibe.
I have often thought that maybe we should copy the Rugby team, after the national anthem we should do what they do, and play another tune, one that maybe does not sound too nationalistic and can unite all the people of this island, I think that ''My lovely Horse'' is that tune.
I think stuff like that is great. Total random stuff that everybody knows the words for and totally unite the fans. The Scots sing Do a dear for some reason and sounds great, not saying we should sing that but Bohs singing Hold me now was and is fantastic. Putting my Finatan O Toole hat on there is something very postmodern about it all :)

Anyone heard the anthemic finish to Glasgow band "Glasvegas" song "Go Square Go" ?
It basically builds and builds to the refrain - "Here we fu**ckin Go!!!!!!" :)
Nah he is a good friend of the Wolf Tones though.Quote:

If your knee is still not mended and your not able to take part, then you will have to be the dance commander.
Here are the words to I want to dance with you.
I wanna dance with you
Twirl you all around the floor
That's what they intended dancing for
I just wanna dance with you.
I wanna dance with you
Hold you in my arms once more
That's what they invented dancing for
I just wanna dance with you.
Totally naff but we were all belting it out after a few minutes.
If we are going to do naff and twee then it has to be Daniel. :D
Dunmore's most famous football fan was also dressed like a badly dressed farmer and dancing with a plant (roots, earth and all presumably borrowed from somewhere close to the game). We lost 3-2 but Mark Kinsella scored a cracker.
No Prob I will be there with my baton.

About 200 on the North Terrace delivered a very moving version of "The Lady in Red" :D
No way, he stole that song from John Prine :)

Lads, i wish ye the best of luck with this but dont lose the run of yourselves. The truth is that it's nearly imossible to even get an 'Ireland ireland' chant going at Croker never mind some of the stuff thats being suggested here. keep it simple with songs and chants that everyone else know and there is some hope. Start small and the repertoire can grow for the next game. The songs themselves dont matter for the first game, the importsnt thing is to get the stadium rocking and everyone involved.
Actually just looking at that....wouldn't it make more sense to doQuote:

I have to say that Irelands call craic is not my thing, I was joking, but seriously i'd rather after the national anthem, they sang along and danced to the great Wigfield and her top tune ''Saturday Night'', now that would get me interested in Rugby.Quote:

anyone know if singing section tickets can still be got for the georgia game. we're looking for 2 or are the 1600 sold out?
I think the general point is that we need some new material. Boys in Green, ole ole and stand up for the boys in green .. the songs need a bit of a rest. Some great suggestions on this thread and in the YBIG fanzine. It would be an achievement if we get a couple of new songs going for the rest of the campaign.Quote:

Word of advice for wed, jaysus it was freezing in croker and ive been at some really cold days in Dalymount, turners cross, LR, the rds etc but this was up there with the best. Good few people around me had small flasks of whiskey, wouldve been the business!!!
"Put em under Pressure" :)
(what was the original Horslips track that the riff was taken from?)
I've long felt that someone should make a mix extending the intro to Where the Streets Have No Name for the players' walk out theme. I'm not much od a U2 fan but this and Pride are very anthemic tracks that make me want to stand up and pogo like a teenager.
I like Tets' thinking re-Muse. Map of the Problematique is also a real adrenaline raiser.
If Boys in Green is ever dropped as one of our main fans' songs I'll be very disappointed. Ole Ole is naff but at least it's evocative of a bygone feelgood factor.
Nothing would make me happier than the whole ground singing Alive Alive-o as we're 3-0 up in the second half. To paraphrase Bono "this song was stolen by D4 rugger buggers, we're stealing it back"
Tickets for the Singing Section are stil available from the LFA offices on Parnell Square and ticketmaster
Make sure you specify that you want tickets for the Singing Section
And give it fookin loads on Wednesday
Sorry lads if this has been asked already but what are the exact blocks designated as the singing section in the Lower Canal?
