Chants Thread

Yellow Submarine adaptation

When I just a boy, my dad he took me to see
the mighty Watford boys, from under the roof of the Rookery.
We all live in a Hornet super dream, a Hornet super dream, a Hornet super dream.

 

That would be epic.

Provided we have a a drummer, hope we do, it can keep it all in check. Main reason why that wouldn't work would be if it fell out of tune, easily done with Dale Cavese.

 

Easily done with Watford supporters too! Think you have hit the nail on the head: keeping it in check. Watford fans tend to sing songs way too fast. Maybe once the 1881 have mastered the songs it will help the rest of the rookery and rous to be more disciplined in keeping tune & time.

 

Was hoping we'd do a more upbeat song after the 18th and 81st minute. Like "Wat-ford FC" or "Who do we sing for?" Or "We Love You" Or "Who Do we sing for?" Or even the one that RBB Lad posted

Watford FC (x4 clap)
We Do Love You (4x clap)
The 1881 (4x clap)
Has A Song For You (4x clap)

Jalalalalalalala
Jalalalalalalala
Jalalalalalalala
Jalalalalalalala

 

What is wrong with 'we're the orns', 'Watford, Watford, Watford....', 'yellows', 'you're support is f****** s***', 'we pay you're benefits' etc.?

 

After the 18th and 81st minute the chant has surely at this moment in time got to be "Who do we sing for". Have to agree with Watfordtalk, need something upbeat to really build up and go mental for! Also like that new RBB chant.

 

Just to add my tuppence:

Just Can't Get Enough

Wat-ford Eff Cee or Double Yoo Eff Cee to the CPFC tune

Doing the buzz/ooohhhh with arms raised at 18/81 minutes followed by "Who Do We Sing For" (not sure where Hollywood got the Country Road at 18/81, good tune but not upbeat or correct tempo to follow a 60 second build up!)

Country Road

Hoist Up The Watford Flag

Dale Cavese

And the excellent chant RBB has posted above (if you haven't checked it out do so)

 

Or "Yellow Army" of course

 

Just wanted to repeat RBB's link to Melbourne singing the excellent tune he posted earlier (in case people missed it).

Is short, easy, catchy and lively:

Watford FC
We Do Love You
The 1881
Has A Song For You

Jalalala, jalalala, jalalala, jalalala.

EDIT: WatfordTalk, great minds think alike....

 

Watford FC (x4 clap)
We Do Love You (4x clap)
The 1881 (4x clap)
Has A Song For You (4x clap)"

This is the song the Leicester fans were singing at the King Power isn't it (different words of course!)? I'd never heard it before but see where they got it from now.

 

Just to ask, what is your reason for not really reckoning the "From the Vic in West Watford" modification of the "mighty RBB" chant? I think it'd work, so I'll post it again & would appreciate your feedback, as it's obvious you'll have quite a lot of influence over what chants are started:

We're from the Vic in West Watford
Home of the mighty Golden Boys,
We will follow you forever
And always be by your side
C'mon c'mon you Horns
C'mon c'mon you Horns
C'mon c'mon you mighty Horns

(repeat last 3 lines, then start again)

The RBB videos prove it works well.

This is not a pop at you, just a question.

 

Leicester sing something very similar, just without the la la la bit at the end.

 

Actually, I've completely missed when this was posted, so apologies.

Ill have a look now.

 

If you start creating too many new songs nobody will know what they are other than the few on here. You'll ruin the atmosphere completely and everyone will turn against you. Bit like the group at the back. Vocal, but sing random and unnecessary songs. Don't make things more difficult than they need to be.

 

Need 3-5 main songs. That way everyone can learn them and it doesn't get confusing!

 

Yeah it is

 

Dale Cavase definitely gets my vote, we'll never get to the stage of those in the video posted but just to bounce around looks great fun

 

for me anything longer than 3 lines doesn't work

It's got to be short sharp and easy to use.

Anything people can clap along too then can involve those that don't want to sing.

Keep it short - Keep it simple

 

I suggested this a day or 2 back, and as none of you had the b@lls to shout me down I assume it's a firm favourite of all you chaps out there

(only the first bit though)

Great idea, can really imagine everyone from our diversely aged fan base join-

No.

 

Just thought I'd add that if we are going to be adding a few new songs it might be worthwhile phasing them in sorta.

Not to sound patronising but it's a bit of an ask getting to learn all these songs if you don't read these forums.

 

I've mentioned it before, nothing wrong with mentioning it again - love all the effort and enthusiasm going into this and as a non ST holder I look forward to joining in as best I can, when I can.

Never heard of Dale Cavese. So for those as ignorant as me, i have added a clip. How can this fail to stop you joining in?

Have you guys/gals decided against our own take on "CPFC"?

 

Respect to the drummer!

 

Hi all my names Jamie and im new to this forum but have been viewing the topic and seeing what you all have to say for a while.

Im happy to see some of our more passionate/vocal fans have started a group to pump some very needed atmosphere into our ground.... I remember as a boy we had many songs (many cant be sung due to political correctness anymore) but believe with a good atmosphere we will play a big part as the 13th man and hopefully help the team performance and bring a big attendance to the club.

I think it would be great if we to offer something unique,rather than using another clubs song.

I've decided to become a member to this forum and offer you a few ideas/chants Ive come up with, please let me know what you think about what i have to offer........ if you like what ive got i have many chants to offer....... here goes!

OUR OWNER IS GIAMPAOLO AND WERE GLAD HE TOOK US OVER
THE FIRST THING THAT HE DID WAS TO SACK DYCHE AND BRING IN ZOLA
AND WITH HIM CAME GRANADA AND THE MIGHT UDINESE
WE NOW GET WORLD CLASS PLAYERS AND WE GET THEM ALL FOR FREE


and here's another chant

THE HORNETS ARE THE BEST AND WE SCORE ALOT OF GOALS
WE'VE DONE NOTHING ILLEGAL JUST EXPLOIT A FEW LOOPHOLES
BUT ALL THE TEAMS WERE BEATING SAY OUR LONE SYSTEM IS CHEATING
BUT WE DON'T GIVE A F**K BECAUSE THE ORNS ARE GOING UP.

I hope you liked Let me know what you think

jamie

 

Do you really want my opinion?

 

Fair enough orny arry you got any ideas what we could squeeze in between "yellow army,yellow army" "you orns" and he's only 5ft 3" " ?

 

I've already said this before and got duly shot down, but now since we are actually more driven with this kind of atmosphere-generating stuff what about jumping to darude-sandstorm? I've seen numerous away fans jump to it and managed to see a few of our fans do the same for either the Leeds game or the Leicester game. Just imagine 2 whole blocks jumping to that song and how good it'd look...

 

just copy every palace chant... sorted.

 

Only joking with you, but you've probably not got the right audience on here.

You can only start a new chant by getting your mates on board. In turn that creates a chain reaction and before you know it... Hey presto!

 

What i would hope is if the founders off the group are truly serious about creating a great atmosphere once some great material have been approved, they could look at getting a song sheet put together to hand out on match days or even a page inside the match day program,im sure the club would help to finance this option if not maybe look at collecting donations from fans before match days.im sure this would be the best way to raise some revenue otherwise all i can see is the same few songs just a little bit louder

 

The good thing is that the songs are being talked about, the main thing now is to impliment them into the ground, we all now know that when somebody shouts "who do we sing for", that somebody needs to shout back "we sing for Watford", then x4 and then bounce like mad shouting.

There are the songs that are standard like at corners "come on you horns", "yellow Army", "hoist up the watford flag", "oooh gainfranco",

There are new songs that are being talked about that are easy to sing like "who do we sing for", The "double u f c, double u f c",

Then there are the songs that can be implimented later in the season as we become more comfortable in them.

The good thing is that we are all moving for the same reason, because we hate how quiet Watford is and admire what others do around the world. This is just the beginning, potentially this could spread across the rookery and we could look amazing.

 

Well said willia6691.

 

It's not a Christmas carol mate

Granted, we need a couple of new big songs, but this will come in time through this newly formed group. I say this with confidence because now there is a specific group with a specific remit to make some noise. They have to prove to everyone that this will work. And without the previous worry of offending your neighbour the noise generated should increase instantly together with transitional improvements to the standard of dittys.

As for collections, not sure why this is necessary but there are both football league rules as well as rules set out by local authorities in relation to bucket collections etc. In other words the group would need to be a registered charity.

 

Welcome to the forums.

With the bold bits, hell fecking no. For those who don't know, Brighton done this, handing out song sheets for a match. They got rightfully laughed off across the land. You don't need song sheets or a page in the match day programme for a chant to catch on. If it ain't complicated and it's sung enough times, people will get the hang of it. There's no need for that gimmicky kind of s-hite which is utterly embarrassing

 

Someone made a song sheet for a Cassetti song last season and that never got off the ground
