Don't dream it's over!!! Best song to be sung, being a a song sung by a Kiwi band no matter how many times Australia call them their own..Most adult New zealanders would know the song.

fair points. Just too long and slow for my liking as a rowdy pre-match psych-up song...

I'm backing up my suggestion of "Don't dream it's over" by saying you should check it out being done by the House live on youtube. Shivers down the spine stuff.
 
I suggested we (the Victory) use it, but it never got up- I'd love it if you blokes ran with it, as I reckon it'd be every bit as haunting and majestic as YNWA.

sing Poi-E and all link hands and do a human breakdancing chain (maybe even the robot) that circles around the Ring of Fire and ends up with a Phoenix mascot being launched out of a large cannon.

No love for Dave Dobbyn's 'Loyal'? See even if only 10 people turn up it would be good.

Time for Action by Secret Affair, this should be blasted out by the DJ when the team comes out.

If you have not heard the song before, just do a search on Youtube, there is a 2 minute clip from Top of the P{ops.

The chorus of "Not given lightly" by Chris Knox might work as a terrace anthem. I bet no one else has used it, and it's a top song...

f**k yeah, best suggestion yet!

Poi-E + Phoenix City + Ring of Fire + Flaming Soul = Massive pre-game rave up!

Forget about Don't Dream It's Over though. What an insipid, weak, lame piece of sh*t - we'd be a laughing stock. It's a football game, not the last song at the school disco.

Slice of heaven like someone said is very kiwi and could be alrite. Dno tho its not too bad. prob not actually now that i thnk about it. But it really should have some significance and not be some random song from youtube. Maby if it used the colour yellow or something in it, or a song that will actually amp up the crowd and players. That is the whole point of it. Slice of heaven i dnt thnk will do sh*te lol. Good idea tho.

Maybe throw in "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John before the game just to get warmed up. Get a few star jumps going. Then launch into Phoenix City for a bit of a boogie, and then Poi-E for the piesta resistance. It will be a crack up after we have finished the break-dancing chain (may take 2-3 hrs), and the Phoenix goes flying out of the Ring of Fire.

what a sight: a crowd mostly made up of grown men singing "let's get physical". hahaha might give the wrong impression...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ow1gS3m1ckM

That video is gold. Solid Gold in fact. Perhaps we could adapt the star-jumps into a simulation of a Phoenix flying. Then we could change the lyrics from
 
Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
 
to
Cmon the Phoenix, Phoenix
I want the Phoenix
Let's go the Phoenix
Let me see you win the game, win the game
Let me see you win the game
 
Maybe Olivia could come along and lead us. She is old, but still looks pretty hot.

What about 'April Sun in Cuba' by Dragon.  Most kiwi's would know it and it fairly catchy.
 
The chorus is:
 
Take me to the April Sun in Cuba (ohoho)
Take me where the April sun
Gunna treat me, so right, so right
 
Could modify to something like
 
Take it to the back of the net Phoenix (ohoho)
Take us to the top of the League
Phoenix, tonight, tonight.
 
Verse:
 
I'm tired of the City life, Summer's on the run
People tell me I should stay, But I have to get my sun
So don't try & hold me back, Ain't nothing you can say
Snake eyes on the paradise, And we got to go today.
 
I'm tired of these Aussie teams, Coming across the ditch.
They think they got a chance, But we'll play them off the pitch.
So don't try and hold us back, Ain't nothing you can do.
Phoenix gonna blow you away, And it's gonna to be to nil.

ok, so now we have Physical, Phoenix City and Poi-E - how about another P song (keeps it easy for the guy playing the cassette)? If we are playing Sydney, and they have successfully signed Cocu, what about "Pass the Dutchie (on the left hand side)". Gold.

The best Kiwi song for mine is Bliss by Dave Dobbin.
The words can be adapted too, I'm sure.
"That goal was a nice one, give us yet another."
 
My fave is runrig's Loch Lomond. Scots know what I mean.
The Welsh  have Bread of Heaven - feed me til I want no more.

The real question is will a club song be decided before our first home game, or will this bickering continue for the next 4 months?

How about Stand By Me? It has obvious links through River Phoenix

And Phoenix, Phoenix stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever youre in trouble wont you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Phoenix, Phoenix stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Dude what about 'Take flight' By i think its Funk'n'slocuts/Kurnel MC....
New Zealand artists-
 
It goes with the whole phoenix theme and isnt one of the quotes "ready to take flight"
 
i think there is not much better then that.

All apologies to Johnny Cash and any songwritters that have ever lived but.....
 
The Phoenix are a burning thing
We play in a fiery ring
bound by a wild desire
We play in a ring of fire
 
The taste of victory is sweet
when other teams we beat
they'll fall like a child
when we win we'll go wild
 
youll lose lose lose
in the burning ring of fire
youll go down down down
in the burning ring of fire
 
it burn burns burns
when you lose lose lose
in the ring of fire
in the ring of fire
 
I won't give up my day job.
No bum jokes please :)

Snow Patrol - Run is a good song...Maybe The first part and the chorus would be good to sing.
 
 
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

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

I'm all for "you give me FEVER" - reckon with not too much practice it could sound brilliant shouted/chanted instead of sung.....

Any thoughts on resurrecting my earlier idea.....?
 
We are the FEVER after all......
