Song to run out to?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

heres the three options we got from the other thread, how about we vote on it?

[A Rebel and a Saint]

i think this thread runs til friday evening, so maybe that will give us a chance to get the music for sunday?

[Dominic]

I thought i read that Stoke Poges Rebel was going to get the music??

[PJ-STFC]

Before we all get too carried away with this, won't the players/management have the final say?

Stoke Poges Rebel was going to ask.

[PJ-STFC]

OK, so we're choosing a new theme song/chant for the Rebels.

 

"Parklife", alas, is no longer relevant - the lyrics don't make much sense unless we're playing at Wexham Park.

 

So, what about the other two?

Both are equally singable, and neither lyric is appropriate for a football chant as it stands...

 

"Rebel, Rebel" - David Bowie

Rebel Rebel you've torn your dress

Rebel Rebel your face is a mess

Rebel Rebel how could they know

Hot Tramp I love you so

 

"Rebel Yell" - Billy Idol

In the midnight hour

She cried more, more, more

With a rebel yell

She cried more, more, more

Owww

In the midnight hour, babe

More, more, more

With a rebel yell

More, more, more

More, more, more

 

 

There is scope for adjustment to Rebel Yell, for example:

From the terraces

We cried more, more, more

With a Rebel yell

We cried score, score, score

...

 

But I know that you're all much better at coming up with lyrics than I am <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure the debate was about what to sing, it was what the team should run out to, played over the tannoy.......at least that's what I understood although I like the changes to Rebel Yell, PJ!

 

That said, many football 'anthems' don't necessarily make sense. Man City sing Blue Moon because of the word "blue" without changing the words. Stoke City sing Delilah for no apparent reason at all but it sounds bloody good at full pelt in a full stadium. The most bizarre though was at the last England v Scotland game at Wembley before they knocked it down. I was sat next to 6000 scots who sang "Doe a deer" from the Sound of Music for almost 90 minutes!

[HorshamRebel]

Yep. A song to run out to, to get the players going at the start.

[Roger Rebel]

I still think it should be Send in the Clowns.

well that could become 'rebel rebel our defence is a mess'

[Crazy Fool]

Some wag at work said 'all by my self'

or 'Down Down'

 

Seriously, how about a take on Tub-Thumping by Chumbawumba? We get knocked down, but we get up up again?....................just an Idea. seems apt for us

[Crazy Fool]

Only without the Gareth Gates stutter!!!!!!! We get Up Up Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

'Byron threw our club away'

'Byron threw our club away'

'Rebels get knocked down, but we Get up Again'

'You're never going to keep us down'

 

 

Just an idea, not bad for a bald fat old fart I thought! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/chloe.gif" alt="" />

[GarySTFC]

You can start off that chant tonight Plinth! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Don Juan DeMarcus]

I still think we should run out to rebel yell as it has history with the club as im sure many of our longer followers can remember the fanzine etc...

where did you get that from

[Dominic]

When you said you were going to film to reserve matches and interview the players.

 

Well done.

[GarySTFC]

Can;t wait to see and hear the footage SPR, great offer.

Like Ian Said, Songs sound great with thousands of fans singing in large, covered stadiums, but with just a handful singing at Stag Meadow i cant see it making any difference. Also, the songs Teams sing have a decent and loud Chorus, like Delila, Blue Moon and The Liquidator so surely the only Song mentioned with any sort of a chorus would be Parklife?

With the atmosphere and excitement at a Championship game everyone in the crowd sings, but a Ryman League fixture at Windsor doesn't get you too excited.

[A Rebel and a Saint]

well itll give those who do make noise a chance to do it as the team comes out

[Mark44]

does anyone know when this will be implemented
