Our own song?
Permalink  

Sorry if this is in the wrong bit, but I was just thinking that its about time we got ourselves a song that is ours. I know we've got apache, but I think we need a song thats actually got words in it, and to be honest singing "Come on the Shots" all afternoon gets very boring. I think it should be a relativley simple and well known song so it catches on quicker. I've found a few clubs 'anthems' for a wee bit of inspiration.

Stoke City - Delilah http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fQdh0spLU7M

Bristol Rovers - Goodnight Irene http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WvFGa_Dq6SY

FC United of Manchester - Sloop John B http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=N3yWyJVQBmU

Glasgow Rangers - Derrys Walls (gets going after about 1:20secs, also has the Bouncy at the end) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy7ApYkGEiU

Celtic - Willie Maley http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Uztvc0TocIE

I'll get the ball rolling and suggest 'Run' by Snow Patrol
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qen3Xovtfc

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

I think that would sound good.

I've always wondered what "our", as in ATFC as a whole, is - other than apache which came "ours" after Barnet away in 2004?


I'm not one for songs and whats good, whats not but lets try and get something out of this!!

Thinking caps! :)

There is one important factor - the song has to sound ok when sung by many who actually cannot sing (if you get what I mean) choosing something like the Snow Patrol song above is great if you have the band singing it - I know that if I try and sing it - it sounds awful!
I know i have banged this drum a bit before - and the immediate reaction is that it is a naff song for football - but the Tartan army favourite these days is the one from sound of music (doe a deer a female deer...) and you repeat it over with ''which brings us back to Doooooooeeeeee, Doe a deer..)
It sounds brilliant when they sing it - and is very upbeat (something we cannot say about Apache!) and no other club side in England or Scotland will be singing it!  If anyone else has been to a Scotland game recently (not that likely I know) I am sure they will vouch for the fact that it sounds superb
I think you are right to bring it up Wob - but difficult to get ''buy in'' from the massess - just look at the new Scotty Davies song (or rather listen)

I take your point 'Bob' about not being able to sing, but You'll never walk alone has to be proof that you dont have to have loads of talented singers to make it sound good? :D

Have you got the words or a video of this Scotland song?

Sung quite a bit on Europe´s terraces and here in sunny Tenerife is "Moonlight Shadow" by Mike Oldfield. I kid you not.

Now you will have to invent some words ofcourse but the chorus would go instead of "Carried away by a moonlight shadow" something like this "We love you Aldershot!"
Or just lo lo lo lo "We love you Aldershot" repeat....

Any opinions?

Forgive me, it's late and I needed to do something to avoid revising...

Tune: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6zwQt9dJ8

The Shots on Saturday makes me happy
The Shots can some times make me cry
The Rec and the East Bank looks so lovely
The Shots almost always makes me high

If I had a day that I could give you
Id give to you a day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
Id sing a song to make you feel this way

The Shots on Saturday makes me happy
The Shots can some times make me cry
The Rec and the East Bank looks so lovely
The Shots almost always makes me high

Would need speeding up a bit, and could possibly do with a bit of tweeking, but I think that's pretty good. Cool

Another good one would be Hawaii Five O theme tune.

"Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo Red Blue Army
Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo Red Blue Army!!"

Then everyone goes nuts, jumping into each other, "lo lo lo lo lo lo"

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do...oh oh oh

I like it smile


Or another one from Scotland,
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2HlHLDVl0pg

We could change this to...

We'll be coming,
We'll be coming,
We'll be coming down the road,
When you hear the noise of the Red Blue Army boys,
We'll be coming down the road...
