Song to TRY tomorrow at cup game?

[sufccolchester]

There's a thread running called "loving feeling" where some of us have been playing with new songs to sing. These are the front 4 runners. We're not pushing for one of these to be the new club song - unless one of them really catches on. We just want a bit of originality to pick up the crowd and the team.

I really would love to hear the falsetto strains of the Lion Sleeps Tonight while I listen to the game over t'web :D

That'd put the fear into any visiting fans!

Perhaps we could train the family stand to perform! They would find it easier to get the high notes!

The version of "I'm a Believer" posted by Suffolk Blue yesterday was quality...

But as MK says, the humour value of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' would be great...!

could change a few words around change jungle-roots hall, lion for leon ect, although that wouldnt work for the next 3 games, maybe they should play this song in the build up to the game see how it goes,

"the leon scores tonight!" could be a suitable adaptation of it!

It'd be interesting to hear a group of fans singing it, that's for sure!
Shame we have to wait a couple of weeks...

There will hardly be any singing tomorrow anyway, so there is little chance of a new song catching on.

Best to stick with the old favourites & try to create some sort of atmosphere.

In the Roots Hall, the mighty Roots Hall
The Leon scores tonight!

Leon isn't playing tomorrow!

I'm singing it from sunny sheffield!

I thought that was a low flying plane from Stansted!

Agreed - best place to start any new chants is at away games.

 

[sufccolchester]

Sounds like a good plan and with Luton being unreserved seating it will make it easier to group together. Shame I won't be there.

would be interesting to hear the song played in the build up to the game, i think this could take off, like you say may have to wait for the leon bit,

Am I the only one that thinks a rendition of "I want to be Bobbys girl" would do wonders for morale before this tense FA Cup clash?

You do that and i'll turn my Mark Gower anger on you!!:guns: :guns:

Great idea to try to instigate a teram song. Whether it will work im not too sure but best luck to you for trying....beating apathy will be your biggest hurdle. What i do think though is that you should try to get whatever song you choose played on the PA system then sing along to it. Im sure a few emails to the club and they will happily put on a request.

I love the idea of the Lion Sleeps tonight (with whatever lyrics substituted).

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Whatever song and words we choose it shouldn't have a restricted life-span. We don't want to adopt any anthem that includes the ground name or, worse still, a players name or the song becomes obsolete as soon as we move or the player moves on. We especially shouldn't base it on the name of a player who hasn't even signed for us (yet).
