New chant ideas: 2015 edition
When it root, i root for the Timbers.
Swap root for sing and Timbers for Phoenix.
I propose that we change the old Carlos Carlos Hernandez chant to Michael Michael McGlinchey, as Albert Riera's name didn't really work in it.
As a result, I'd also like to propose that we use Seven Nation Army for Albert Riera. "Ohhhhhhh Albert Riera".
I'm a fan of more NZ songs as chants - you know use our own identity, I'm sick of rehashing other clubs chants and using international mediocre songs of the 70's and 80's when we have plenty of our own mediocre songs.
If Riera is without a chant I propose Siera Leone from Coconut Rough:
At about 1:00
Beat Mcglinchey?
He'll come running, come running, come running at you!
Past Durante?
He'll come running, come running, come tackle you!
Rierra Rierra, Rierra Rierra, Rierra Rierra.
Albert

Oh okay, must have missed it - too obvious to be original.
Why not sing Michael Jackson? The chorus from They Don't Care About Us?
"All I want to say is that, they don't really care about us" (rinse, repeat)
If everybody is patient enough to sing the verses and changing the lyrics to suit us, I'd write some, but you guys know more about the Nix than me, so..
Counting the Beat.
Thinking about you, Phoenix FC
Thinking about you, we are the "Elite"
Thinking about you (oooh oooh oooh oooooh oooh)
Phoenix FC (oooh oooh ooh oooooh oooh)
Thinking about just you and me, Phoenix FC, there ain't no place I'd rather be
La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da
La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da
La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
I'm not much of a lyrics man but there's some potential in this tune
Sorry. Heard WAY too much of that song at the U20's.
Riera again
The La De Das how is the air up there (classic kiwi tune from the 60's) - its about 32 seconds in
Oh, everyday he'll pass we'll say
Hey!
Albert Riera's there.
Albert Riera's there.
Albert Riera's there.
Who are you? He just don't care.
Slide tackled on the ground.
A tough one I realise.

La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Wow.
That is GOLD!!!
One edit: To start it the chant leader could shout out:
"I'm thinking about you ... and NO-THING ELSE..."
If Bang Bang isn't over exposed to us now... then some ideas for possible development, maybe:
Sar - pong
Into the goal - We know we want it
Sar - pong
All over youuuuuu - he'll let you have it
Wait a minute - he'll take you there (ahhhh)
Wait a minute till heeeeeeee....[Repeat]
and of course:
And you can tell everybody, this is Sarpong
and
Sar Pong Pour Moi
Whooooah
Whooooah
Whooooah aaaaoooh aaaaaaaaoooooohhhaaaaaa
PHOENIX
Sorry. Heard WAY too much of that song at the U20's.
For Blake Powell:
Blake! Ah-ahhhh
King of the impossible
He'll score every game for us
Stand there in front of us
He's in Ernie's mighty plan
Every man, every woman
Every child sing for mighty
BLAKE!
Blake! Ah-ahhhhh
Or something (needs work)
For Tam Dimairo:
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
That's amore
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you'll sing "Vita bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like a gay tarantella
Becomes:
When Tam passes you by, you'll just look to the sky
That's Dimairo
When the cross flies right in, from out wide on the wing
That's Dimairo
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling
And you will sing "Tam est bella"
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Number 32 is our fella.

Why not:

?
Great improvement. Can't believe I didn't think of that.
The beauty of floating ideas up to be improved upon by the group.

Could be also just a reduced loop on a free kick, corner
Blake! Pow-elll!
Stand there in front of us
Bum bum bum bum bum (for the bass sound)
.
Jeffrey Sarpong he twists and bends
He just goes on and on my friends
The Fever started singing this not knowing what it was
And we'll just keep on singing this forever just because....
Sorry. Heard WAY too much of that song at the U20's.
Also I'm sorry.
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call me maybe:
Hey, we just met you;
We might sound crazy;
?? is your number; (waiting on a squad number I think?)
We'll call you Jeffrey.

And you call yourself rammtelica.
What about something like:
Its a long way Jeffery Sarpong
Its a long way to go
Its a long way Jeffery Sarpong
To the Phoenix team we love
To the tune of It's a long way to Tipperary?
He bombs right up and down the left wing - he is Thomas Doyle.
He wears the Phoenix number nineteen - he is Thomas Doyle.
Can you score a goal please Matt Ridenton, oh, oh, oh,
We would like it if you scored a goal please
Matthew, Matthew.

Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh ooh,
Appiah.
Ooh ooh oooh ooh ooh ooh,

I think you just chose some songs and tried to fudge some words in
You could do the same thing to YMCA. (using the "Young man" part)
The AC Milan fans have a chant (I can never find a video of it though) that goes:
Ooooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh - ooh
Mi-lan
Ooooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh - ooh
Mi-lan
Ooooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh,
OOOH - OOOH - OH-OH-OH-OH
MI-LAN
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Mi-lan
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Mi-lan
La-la-la-la-la-la, LA-LA, LA ... LA... LA-LA
Mi-lan.
[Rpeat]
It's hard to type, but easy to demonstrate in person. Very easy to pick up.
We could replace the Mi-Lan's with "App-iah"s
Oi-Oi-Oi, Oi-Oi-Oi
Kwabena Appaiah
Scores for the Nix
[Repeat]
I think you just chose some songs and tried to fudge some words in
Yes, I did. Open to suggestions on what other words could go into those songs.
