ok you people are not listening to me. People are still getting the
wrong tune for Stand Up for the Phoenix. No more chances. Even a
chick at the BB was embarassed by it.
If you dont know how Go West goes then listen to this

Agreed. It is cringe worthy. I'm tone deaf and still know it is
sung badly.

That sure is a fine music video.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

"Danny Cadamarteri, Danny Cadamarteri, Danny Cadamarteri, Danny Cadamarteri"
That usually shuts him up...

Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Maybe the leader should say stand up and the rest should say for
the Phoenix.
Cause with those videos I have no idea what the rythem
is.

Yeah good idea mate.
Another idea i think someone should invest in a big drum for
YF.
That way we wont have to listen to those other idiots on the
drums.

As far as the melody goes, I imagine it goes like this
(but I'm open to be corrected by any chick from the BB or any other
politically-themed speakeasy in the wider Wellington region).
Go west
(Stand up)
Life is peaceful there
(For the Phoenix)
So, yeah, just the chorus. That said, it's not as though the tune is easily discernible sans music.

Listen the nearest pom, jock, leek or paddy in the YF zone as there
most likely to bee trying to sing it in tune - seeing as it's been
a terracing stalwart in the UK for 15 years or so now.
Actually - here's the particular part with the tune, as sung by Neil Razor Ruddock
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80niZnYCB04
Instead of 'You're sh*t, and you know you are'
sing 'Stand up, for the Phoenix'

This is a great upbeat song. Maybe it could be played before
the game. Or it could be played for our highlights package of our
goals scored this year.

It's a classic football tune, used for anything like:
"Stand up for the champions" or "1-0 to the Arsenal".
I don't understand how we can't get it right. At least
we stand up though.

I agree , people who dont know how to sing it properly should learn
it, and it will sound awesome ... also why dont we use it when we
go 1-0 up instead of using it for the 'Stand Up' bit? Is it because
not everyone sings it right?

In my mind singing this without any tune at all (let alone
the right tune) is no more annoying than say:
Singing "you're sh*t and you know you are" 10 minutes into the
first half with the score at 0-0
Singing "You'll never beat the Phoenix" again 10 minutes in
with the score at 0-0
Chanting "who are ya" at every available opportunity, player,
photographer, security guard it doesn't matter.
Chanting "you don't know what you're doing" after nearly every
whistle against the Phoenix.
Throwing bottles
Spraying beer over strangers.
I could go on but I think you get my point, the thing is I
raised this stuff in my first ever post and got slammed for
it. I know it's not everyone that does all of the above and I
don't want to offend individuals but I've learnt not to let it get
to me or I'd have ended up rocking too and fro in a corner
somewhere muttering bad words and dribbling uncontrolably.
I wasn't at the game on Friday (was watching from a bar in
Auckland) but understand that someone got thrown out for throwing a
bottle (tossing, passing through the air....whatever) and someone
got punched for throwing beer over the person in front of them, now
I'm no fortune teller but those two thing weren't too difficult to
predict......
I look forward to the time that discussion on this forum is
weighted more toward what happens on the pitch.

So let me get this right, if for example we use this against
Queensland would it be;
"Stand up if you hate open bracket The Roar closed

I believe YF are the most fervent and interesting collective of fans of any team anywhere in the country, and are nothing short of a breath of fresh air for the docile rugby-sodden laymens whose idea of "excitement" is chanting "HUR-RI-CANES!" whenever it blares over the loudspeaker. But this precious "Ugggh, that's not how you chant/sing, ughhh you're ruining EVERYTHING!" attitude really, really spoils things.
Getting newbies excited about being at the game is an excellent segue into getting them interested in football at large -- and I'm living proof. Chastising everybody for using "Who are ya?" too much, or getting the melody for "Stand up for the Phoenix" wrong just reeks of the kind of blind elitism that a fledging supporters group has absolutely no right to claim.
I think the sooner YF come up with a series of regular chants that aren't copied and pasted virtually verbatim from England, the better.

Yep, a lot of outside Nix supporters look as YF as being elitist/snobs which really isn't the image we should be trying to portray.

From the Ashes are we
Not always easy though - takes a while for new chants to get
picked up, and when you try start them, they often get drowned out
by "Oh Wellington" or "Same old Aussies".
Pre-season is a great chance to foster new songs amongst a
smaller crowd. also TW good for experimentation. The AWs game was
great for chanting - bc small crowd and everyone picked up on new
ideas.
Fair enough comment - but we had to start somewhere. it is
always going to be a case of slowly adding to the repertoire.
Season 1 about developing the right mentality and singing culture.
Season 2 we will look to expand and be more creative.

In regard to "standing up for the Phoenix", we got complimentary tickets in aisle 31 on Friday - a pretty empty aisle that night. However it was excellent in some ways as we could "stand up for the Phoenix" without fear of grumpy people behind us or stewards. My daughter and I could also regularly wave our flag happily, shout and scream without spraying spit on anyone in front, and go crazy after goals and red cards without obscuring people behind. It was quite liberating! Not sure if I could have chucked a bottle but you never know. Will try to get back to aisle 28 for Sydney (no Queensland Roar for me) but enjoyed the visit to aisle 31.

Aisle 31 is quite annoying when it gets full. I've been told to
"watch my elbows" in there, and my brother was asked to sit
down.
We were in 19 for Friday's game, and it was heaps better. Though I suppose 31 would have been just as much fun, considering how empty it was...

Cmon � bit of perspective here
Of course people have different opinions. Some think we overdo the �Who are ya� (me), some think we could do with a bit more chant creativity (me), some don�t really like that noise we make at goal kicks (me) � but on the whole I think its just plain great people are getting into it and enjoying themselves. You will never stop people thinking differently � but don�t go labelling differences of opinion as something they are not.
And - this forum is open to anyone and any view. The YF zone is open to anyone and anyone is welcome to start any chant. Many do.
�elitist� is rather a stretch.
