Songs 'N Chants

[style_cafe]

Agree that it should be epic and rousing, as Thunderstruck is.

It doesn't matter what the song is or even if everyone likes it - we'd all come to love it over time when we associate it with our club and passionate home games.

Thus sticking with it would be key.

Rousing
Catchy
Loud
Consistent
Go!

I`ve just spent a few hours looking for songs we could make our own.
Going on the Rousing, Catchy, Loud , theme...something that everyone could grow to enjoy
I would nominate The Proclaimers 500 Miles
I think it has everything we`re looking for in a walk out song.
The words are easy to learn, everyone knows the chorus & it even has the little dance part near the end with a great call & response!

Absolute winner Cafe!!

I watched some musical at Laycock st theatre with maybe 20+ old songs in the show. The absolute stand out for participation was 500 Miles. Everyone went bonkers....hollering and clapping.

Brilliant suggestion. Shaun....can you make this happen

Don't stop me know starts to get you excited then goes flat as a tack for me

For me that's usually because it stops before the walk out, is followed by a minute of confused silence, then 20 seconds of what sounds like Star104.5 on blast, quickly switched and then back to fade in to the GoT theme, halfway into the introduction - which in fairness isn't that different to any of the other walk outs

With the added bonus that most people do actually like it.

I'm in. Go with that for another stripe earned

Can’t say I agree with the Proclaimers being the walk out song, as I am not sure it fits the context (great song though to be fair). For me it’s Robbie Williams’ Let Me Entertain You for the walk out song (although I would be equally happy to go back to Thunderstruck too), as either song really gets the blood pumping.

For the end of games, there really is only one song and that is surely Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing, which apart from being a sing along favourite, pretty much sums up what we are about for mine.

To each there own I suppose but for mine "Little bo peep has lost his sheep, he popped a pill & fell asleep" isn`t in the right context either

As much chance of that as seeing a reindeer on your roof.

A real reindeer, not a plastic one.

Sydmariner disagrees. Its not subjective. There is a right/wrong answer.

 

[priorpeter]

Sorry @sydmariner , I bow down to your superior intellect and knowledge - so vast, in fact, that you know what I would rather listen to musically! Incredible!

F**KIN A I hate "Yellow" ...You are a Pirate by Alestorm shall forever be my walk out song ...even if Elvis is playing

 

[Wombat]

Recky,

[BrisRecky]

What Womby, you mad this don’t sound like those mad ska buggers
Speaking of March out songs by Alestorm, the new single is a cracker

 

[Wombat]
