NEW SONGS., Read 'em, listen to 'em, sing 'em

What’s up U-Sector. I’m relatively new to the message boards but I’ve been writing some new songs for us to sing over the last year since I first started watching games in the South Stands. Below are some of the songs that I’ve written with links to Youtube videos so that you can see how they sound/work in a crowd or how the song that I’ve based them sounds. I’ve also included a brief explanation on how I’ve imagined them working. I’m by no means insisting that they need to work like this and I’d be ecstatic if you all add your two cents or make changes to them so that they’d work better at games. Gino, I'm looking at you bud.

THE TFC FOREVER http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxOhk4Lk9aE&feature=related
(This is the song that probably should be our national anthem if it didn’t shit all over the French and have some serious colonial connotations. I rewrote it so that we could sing our allegiance to our team. I wrote shortened verses but I don’t expect to sing those at games, just the chorus. Note that we can also use this for CNMT games pretty easily by just substituting TFC for Maple Leaf)

In the Bunker by the lake
There’s a team that always fights
They stand on guard for the true north
Proudly wear the red and white

Chorus:
The TFC our team so dear,
We will support wherever!
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The TFC forever

In the bunker by the lake
There’s a team that never quits
Their fans show true and patriot love
And the competition’s full of shit

GOD SAVE THE TFC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWBR_W1gKDw&feature=related
(I don’t know if this is considered to be a federal offense or anything but I wrote this one specifically to get a rise out of Impact fans because of the whole Separatist movement in Quebec)

We love you TFC
Long live the TFC
We love TFC
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
Send them victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to play for us
We love TFC

TFC WOULD’VE BEEN ENOUGH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSfrxV_Kcig
(This is a call and response much like “Qu’est que vous chantez” set to the tune of a popular Passover diddy called “Dayeinu”. Don’t worry, I can’t imagine it offending any of my fellow Heebs if we use the tune. Don’t mind the video, I tried to find something with less Judaica but this was the best quality)

SECTION 1:
There’s a team that’s from Toronto
SECTION 2:
Where they go we always follow
SECTION 1:
If you see us
SECTION 2:
You’re in trouble
ALL:
TFC!
TFC, TFC, TFC,
We love you TFC!


IMPACT’S FULL OF SHIT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMe0VhgszVw...D3DC3E&index=14
(This is a popular Ha’poel Tel-Aviv song, just ignore the fact that Ha’poel is the communist team – I’m a Maccabi fan myself. We can substitute Impact with whatever team we’re playing…or not)

TFC rules the pitch
Impact’s full of shit, Impact’s full of shit, Impact’s full of shit!
TFC rules the pitch
Impact’s full of shit
Impact’s full of shit!
Chorus:
Allez T.O., Allez T.O.!
Come on you Reds, come on you Reds, Let’s Go!
Allez T.O., Allez T.O!
Let’s go Toronto!

TORONTO BOYS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGeA7Bqa1o4
(I know I’m one of very few Spurs fans – if any – in U-Sector so I hope the Arsenal fans won’t take offense but I really like this one, especially the alternate, more Tottenham-esque, chorus that I’ve added at the end. The song is actually a popular American Civil War song about General Sherman seriously fucking up Georgia so I wrote some verses for it as well which I think would be too difficult to sing at games, but fuck it, I’m a keener like that. Just focus on the chorus. I’ve attached a link to the original song as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-dzCt2xeSo&feature=related )

Don your kits and grab your boots and come down to the lake
We’re gonna watch some footy and you know it will be great
When they hear us marching in, they all begin to shake
Cause we are the boys from Toronto!

Chorus (the part we’d actually sing):
Hello! Hello! We are Toronto Boys!
Hello! Hello! You hear us making noise!
So if you value your own skin then us you will avoid,
Cause we are the boys from Toronto!

We’re loyal Reds supporters and we come to every game
And it don’t matter, win or lose, we’re cheering just the same
Old Winter’s got us on the path to victory and fame
Cause we are the boys from Toronto!

*Alternate Chorus:
Hello! Hello! We are Toronto Boys!
Hello! Hello! You hear us making noise!
So if you are an Impact fan surrender or you’ll die!
Cause we are the boys from Toronto!

WTF is up with you people (ok, just you and lattes) about inflaming the Quebec separatist sentiment. That shit is not cool.

Also, the only good version of God Save the Queen is the one by The Sex Pistols. I rather not have this tune in the stands.

woah! don't lump me in with lattes! I just thought that it would be fun to get under their skin, if you're not cool with stoking the separatist fire I can understand that, i'm not looking to make a political statement or anything. as i said these are just suggestions that i've come up with to enlarge our repertoire.

I like the communists...


Also:

I've been waiting for so long
To come here now and sing this song
Don't be fooled by what you see
Don't be fooled by what you hear

This is a song to all my friends
They take the challenge to their hearts
Challenging preconceived ideas
Saying goodbye to long standing fears

Don't crack up
Bend your brain
See both sides
Throw off your mental chains

I don't wanna be hip and cool
I don't wanna play by the rules
Not under the thumb of the cynical few
Or laden down by the doom crew

Get fucked.

Now this is a New Song I can support.

(Kingswood, 1987ish with, I believe, Animotion opening for him.)

Agree 100% :campione:

LOL, must be at the windup. That song's a sectarian piece of shit. It doesn't need an export.

Damn I didn't see that one. The Jones/Eurythmics concert is near the very top of my all time best concerts though.

i'm still waiting on us to do vindaloo
