As mentioned at hui, E Rere Te Keo scans really well for seven nation army

I take it the lines "he's our Belgian scoring genius with a 24 inch penis, bellend by his toes" are unlikely to appear in any YF Classics this season?

Worth running this by the club/Iwi? Sometimes repurposing cultural elements as songs doesn't fly to well. Don't see it being an issue here, but you don't want to offend.

Wouldnt see why. Its not like we're doing the Haka. We're just singing 'Rise up Wellington' in Maori. But we might as well be safe and check

Could also replace Welly Oh with E Rere Te Keo.

Would mean the circus can sing it at other NZ home games without offending the locals.

I thought Seven Nation army was the theme for the Victory?  Don't they play the riff after every goal?

According to Wikipedia the Vuc invented it as a chant. Of course Wikipedia is never wrong but it seems like a Victory song to me.

Victory definitely didn't invent it as a chant. It's in use all over the world, and we've been using it for years too, just with different words.

Pretty obvious from the Deomcalypse thread that that is the case.

I'm glad that Victory invented this game we call football though.

From the nme, 

"The track has been adopted as an unlikely football anthem, first adopted as a theme for Italy’s World Cup 2006 win, and then became used to soundtrack teams walking onto the pitch in Euro 2008, and quickly spread across Europe. It was played when a goal was scored at Euro 2012 and is now known in parts Europe as ‘The Po Po Po Po Po Po Song’."
