Hi there
 
We really enjoyed the game but thought that there should be someway of getting more fans to know the songs.
 
Is there anyway we can get the message out there? I was sitting near the yellow crazy singing bunch (go the lads ) but could only make out some of the words to songs.
 
Cheers

Yea i was right in the middle of it and somtimes struggled to make out the words and ended up mumbling. It would be good to make it possible for fans outside the yellow fever zone to be able to join in-increase the noise level of them..

Why not get one of the simple chants on the big screen? I could make up a simple powerpoint/flash animation (like a football bouncing on each word kinda thing) and we could hook up the guys at Westpac stadium with it for half-time or something. Or when it pauses or something. Ya know.

Go to the chants section of this forum and you'll pick them up......

No way are we having a sing along on the big screen - we sing what we want when we want and its pure passion and spontaneity.....not some scripted song sheet....

Just get a few under your belt and the rest will come by being there....

I'm Phoenix til I die
I'm Phoenix til I die
I know I am
I'm sure I am
I'm Phoenix til I die

Who are yah?
Who are yah!

Oh Wellington (by leader)
Oh Wellington (by all)
Is wonderful (by leader)
Is wonderful (by all)
We've got tits, fanny and the Phoenix
Oh Wellington is wonderful!!!

We all follow a YELLOW football team, a YELLOW football team,a YELLOW football team...

Come to the Bencher pre match and learn some there - and prepare the throat with a few pints!

Haven't we decided that everyone else uses tits and Fanny so we're doing wind and rain ?

Makes it feel more Wellington.

Yeah I prefer the wind and rain, the whole family can get in on it then. I don't really feel like having a "what's a fanny" conversation when I'm trying to watch a game...

im just throwing this out there but could we plaster up some posters with a song on it around town?
that way heaps of people could see them and maybe remember them. just an idea

This isnt to do with the chanting, completley off topic actually, but what was that song called when the players were coming out after halftime? The sort of mexican song and Yellow Fever with singing along with it.

Well News, the word certainly isn't out there as that line in wonderful when we chant it is a mumble jumble.....both at the Bencher and at the game - I could hear both lines coming through and it sounded messy. 

If we're going with wind and rain I'll change my words and chant twice as loud to drown out the tits and fanny lot then......

Another classic:
 
WE'LL BE COMING! (leader)
WE'LL BE COMING (response)
WE'LL BE COMING DOWN THE ROAD (all)
WHEN YOU HEAR THE NOISE OF THE YELLOW FEVER BOYS (all)
WE'LL BE COMING, DOWN THE ROAD (all)
 
(or words to that effect)

Yeah, I like the idea of some posters or something - does anyone have any influence with the Dom Post for the next home game? Perhaps we can get them to print some simple & clean songs!?

That sounds like a brilliant idea, why not just write in? I will, and if enough of us do it maybe they'd give it a go. Or why not buy a large ad space? We could get the club to sponsor it, do a big yellow ad with a song in large letters. I'm sure they'll front up a bit o dough for a clean, simple song. You know 'Come and sing along with the Phoenix' kinda thing.

Some slumped over geezer in the BB urinals has just destroyed one side of the building. I can't be sure if it was Frankie Mac's reading of this post, or Frankie Mac's 7 hour reaction to that dodgy Kebab he had on the way back to the pub list night....

I think it would be a good idea to get them printed in the matchday programme. Just like a little hymn book

Oh, for fcuks sake.
 
Why don't we get a karoke machine  at the stadium, and put the songs on there?  That way when we get bored of football songs, we can do Toxic by Britney Spears.
 
 

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked

Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

Coxey is a squillion percent on the button here...
 
The whole idea about chanting and football matches is that the buzz spreads by being there, not by practicing and handing out song sheets on the day...
 
Come along and bash a few tunes out, in key, if not the correct words, and eventually, you'll pick it up...
 
This is by no means an attempt to create a football chant 'elite', but by being in the mixer and having a great time regardless, that's how the chants grow, evolve and are formed in the first instance. Nothing's greater than starting a chant and having a few thousand pick it up behind you...
 
Frankie's old skool, and he's right, you know, that it's just not cricket to have pre planned, pre printed sheets and all that jazz.

Is this some Kevin Costner, "if you print them, they will come" thing - if so, genius. If not, oh.
 
Point taken for the nippers though...
