Entrance theme at Lansdowne Rd?

[Dawn_Run]

Great tune. Dunno if it gets the andrenalin pumping as much though. Sure if we get one song past the censor we could open the floodgates.

I'm suggesting a medley of WTSHNN/Que Sera Sera/Come on you boys in Green for the start of every match. Get all the troops raring to go. WTSHNN over the PA and let the fans take over from there. A good start is half the battle as they say. I dont think people will be afraid to sing during the game after that, might even get the suits singing aswell.

[Frankie]

I went for "Where the..." but would like "Boys are back in town" as well alhough it's already used by Leinster rugby so I don't know how well that would go down with people other then myself and Schumi.

On the Gloria Gaynor thing the Europeans love that 'Na na na' bit towards the end, they played it (as in just that bit)after the French won Euro 2000, whole place was going nuts. In fairness that part of the tune kinda suits football.

well perhaps this 'la la tune' is a must when the French fans come to town - they'll look after the singing of that I'm sure.

We could also get that band to get the french trumpet fanfare going, as heard at French rugby and occassionally soccer matches.

My french mate does an excellent immatation of the trumpet fanfare, and in a pub during Euro 2004 when France beat England he got the whole crowd (French & Irish fans) respondig to his minicing fanfare throughout the game. Great stuff!

Anything by Thin Lizzy is always good, although I think the Boys are back in town is a bit 'boring' for want of a better word. Some of their other stuff would be more refreshing - 'Don't believe a word', 'dancing in the moonlight, 'waiting for an aliby' etc

All good tunes but I can't see them getting the crowd going though, they're not really relevant to a football game.

U2's Beautiful Day wouldn't be a bad choice maybe.

[blobbyblob]

My top three would be

1. WTSHNN
2. The Boys are back in town
3. Beautiful Day

[ollie]

Speaking of Irish bands - anyone remember Whipping Boy?

yeah they were a classs band.really liked their music.

[cullenswood]

Yeah I think Beautiful Day might be the best U2 one nice and upbeat, and slightly easier to sing along to.

Bono changed the lyrics to Beautiful Goal at Slane after the Dutch game(not that that makes it any better of a tune but just some useless info!!)

excuse my ignorance but what the fcuk is this la la song??

[noby]

This Gloria Gaynour one is starting to bug me. I'll have to dig out some disco albums tonight.

More useless info:
Morrissey changes the whole of 'Roy's keen' when he sings it live, as an homage to, well Roy obviously.
"have you ever seen a keener midfielder?"

Mozz 1-0 Bono


As was said earlier, by numerous people, all thee songs would be great played in LR, but for a short piece of music for coming out of the tunnel, I'd still go for WTSHNN

yea its carnival de paris by dario g. i think its a great advert really captures the atmosphere and passion of fans going to games. they released carnival de paris for the world cup in 98 and i was gutted we didnt make it as they made the song from traditional music of the 32 countries involved. it would have been great to hear some irish music on it

i agree with blobbyblob.its more na na na na na na na na na

[Stuttgart88]

Ah, it is Carnival De Paris.

Isn't that what the Brits have re-written as Vindaloo? English yob anthems - no thanks.

was it not a more slower version then that sounded like the french national anthem.

[Schumi]

I that would have been more of a na na na na or a do do do do than a la la la la

I usually sing 'da da' myself.
