Songs for the weekend!!!!

[Karlos]

how about..
to the tune of one road

We're on the one road,
sharing the one load
We're on the road to Germany
We're on the one road, it may be long road
but were wining all the way..
Duffer, Keano, Given and all!
Dublin, Galway, Cork or Donegal!
We're on the one road, singing along, singin' Irelands song

Waiting for the complaints about it being a republican song
but I think it has a good tune to it, could be worded better but I'm no Phil Coulter

yep thumbs up here! I think that would work nicely!

I think you should sing songs that support your team. I can understand the keane song been sung in jest. In addition I think booing a player that tried to cheat us i.e. Pires is perfectly acceptable, however booing him because he is french or because he is black or jewish or because he plays for Arsenal is wrong. I think everybody at the game realised he was been booed cause he had dived and for no other reason.

Finally I think booing a manager because you want him out is one of the few democratic rights that a suporter has. I think if you are supporting your club and you hold protests etc to get a manager sacked is ok in my book, as long as it is done after the game and does not affect the performance on the pitch.


The song about the 2 Keanos is a song in jest and should be taken that way, my worry is that some of the people how find it so funny do so for the comments about Roy keane more than the comments about Robbie Keane

ah will people ever get off there high horse its only a bit of crack. We would not be singing songs like them at the game but good crack in the pubs beforehand. Oh lets sing all happy ole ole songs what a fun bunch we are !

[Cowboy]

Phil counter is muck, your effort much better

Well sometimes its not much craic, saw several punch ups at the games in Japan
started by that kind of chant. I agree with you about the Ole olé, hate that chant.

Is this the way to Germany oh?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Germany oh
And Robbie Keane who scores for me
Show me the way to Germany oh
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Germany Oh
And Robbie Keane who scores for me

Sha la la la la la la Keano
Sha la la la la la la Keano
Sha la la la la la la Keano

And Robbie Keane who scores for me

Why thank you think I'll copyright it now

It has givin me the inspiration leave my job now and become a song writer....

Not like I do anything but mess on the internet anyway.. Anyone have Louis Walsh's number have a great ballad for Westlife..

[zinedineontour]

fair enough people still get heated about the keano songs nearly get a box out in dublin one night for singing that keane song ... just think we dont have enough songs at games and it does end up ole ole or stand up for the boys in green which ****ed me off in paris cause would rather have stood for the whole game or sat for whole game instead of all the up down **** .. its a good song if maybe done once a half or something

[Schumi]

would rather have stood for the whole game

So stand, there's nothing to say you have to sit down again at the end.

[zinedineontour]

apart from the whole row behind me shouting sit down !

[Eire06]

So stand, there's nothing to say you have to sit down again at the end.

well unless you start sit down for the boys in Green...
remember that one outside O'Sullivans very early the next morning repeatidly being sang and everyone sitting on the ground.. Was very funny at the time

[Beavis]

Were on the One Road is a great song, I still sing it at every game. Not remotely republican. I will still sing republican songs from the past because our history involved a republican struggle which I am proud of. However songs celebrating the provos/any present day paramilitary organisations, I would not associate with.

[blobbyblob]

When the day is dawning,
and three more points are callin'
How I long to be there
When Robbie Keane scores for me
Every lonely city
Where i hang my hat
Aint as half as pretty,
As where my Keanos at

Is this the way to Germany oh?
Every night ive been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Germany oh
And Robbie Keane who scores for me
Show me the way to Germany oh
Ive been weeping like a willow
Crying over Germany Oh
And Robbie Keane who scores for me

Sha la la la la la la Keano
Sha la la la la la la Keano
Sha la la la la la la Keano

And Robbie Keane who scores for me

[Babysis]

How about we all sing whatever we feel like, have a great trip and a bit of craic, and not take ourselves too seriously. Only a suggestion like

I love the song.. My comment was sarcastic, as you prob know there's certain people on here that are disgusted and outraged by republican songs...

Sure some of the consider the national anthem offensive, republican ect ect.. load of crap but let them off...

Now back on topic before this turns into ANOTHER debate on the north south devide..
blobbyblob great song.. Can't stop singing that tune at the mo

Oh no we have to get the harmonys right

[Babysis]

Oh no we have to get the harmonys right

Ah dont, there will be a few who will take your sarcasm as being offensive. Why dont we nominate an official sing along committee, keep everyone in line, upkeep pc ness etc
only messing - good song by the way, gets my vote

Sorry for starting this thread, hope we're all still friends. Typical us Irish take our Sing-Song's just a bit too seriously. But i still think my "Shalom" song is the business for the weekend, remember in Rapongi, Toyko, when all the police were lined up outside Paddy Foleys and everyone sang, "Ari-gateaux, Ari-gateaux, Ari-gateaux Nipon, Ariiiiiii-gateaux niiiiipon". Loosely translated to "Thank You Japan". feckin class!
The Shalom Song is quite apt for Israel, we just need to get one good line instead of "The Peace of Christ i give you today"

"Shalom, my friend,
Shalom, my friend,
Shhhhaaalllllooom
Shhhhaaaallllllooommmm,
