A Watford "Anthem"

Don't want to close my eyes!
Don't want to fall asleep!
Coz I'll miss a goal!
And I don't want to miss a thing!

Even when I dream of the Premier League!
The sweetest dream will never do!
Coz I love Watford!
And I don't want to miss a thing!

 

Hello Goodbye by the beatles could be good.

You say goodbye, and i say Yellow... yellow yellow! I don't know why you say goodbye but i say yellow!





Also could anything sound better than at wembley in the playoff final, 40,000 watford fans singing Suffer Little Children by The Smiths

 

Personally always thought this would be fantastic

Is it that offensive, I never realised!! I'm sorry!

 

Fields of Anthenry.. no no no no no!


Lots of discussion about which songs to steal from which other clubs.
What ever happened to originality? :sad1:

 

Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves?

 

Exactly, we should write our own song. It should be a collaborative effort. I'll start.

*guitar strum*

Therrrrrreeee was a team from Herts...

 

That's why I bought it up, not necessarily to sing that, but to find our own one.

 

Good point. No club has done a song based on this:

[yt]WfM6nRVBvGs[/yt]

 

We are Watford FC, Zola is our boss,
The football league gives us charges, Pozzo gives a toss,
Abdi is our Pirlo, Vydra scores for fun,
We are getting promoted, cos we gave the ref a bun.

 

Number 1 with a bullet.

 

I wouldn't say fields of athenry is offensive, it is sung by irish as a republican song but it's worth remembering that being a republican and supporting the IRA are not the same. It's like saying if you think there's too much immigration you support petrol bombing immigrants.

 

Fair enough.. but personally i couldnt think of a worse idea to start with than Fields of Anthenry. Its been done.. bears no relationship to us.... and its somewhat controversial in nature.


Perhaps GoingDown is onto to something. We write a line each and when we have enough lyrics we set it to Moog's.. Top Gear's... "Jessica" :naughty:

 

Not everyone knows it's controversial, and it is a f***** great song.

 

If they dont.. they should.
Just read back through this thread & you will see there are plenty of people who know what it implies. It being "a f****ing great song" isnt reason enough for us to copy it. Besides.. we'd be the laughing stock of the football world!

 

Our fans already are.

Zola out.

 

I didn't know what it was in that sense. I thought it was about famine.

I don't want to copy anybody. The song was chosen because when sung by football fans sounds great. I'd like Watford to have their own, like Mull of Kintyre at Forest.

 

how about

keep the fires burning

 

They were summoned from the hillside,
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along,
And although your heart is breaking,
Make it sing this cheery song:

Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.

Overseas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies -
Honour bade us do no less,
For no gallant son of Britain
To a tyrant's yoke shall bend,
And no Englishman is silent
To the sacred call of "Friend."

Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
'Til the boys come home

 

Yes, I can see that catching on.

 

Shall we try this at the Derby game.

 

I actually like it, but we should only sing the chorus, the whole song would be too much IMO!

 

Is that supposed to be ironic?

 

What we need:
Catchy Tune
Simple Lyrics

Watford, Watford, Watford is our name
Watford, Watford, football is our game
We’re going up, we’re going up, we’re going up, we’re going up
We are Zola's army and the 'orns are going up

To the tune of Funiculi Funicula, a Neapolitan song which has the added benefit of being a) Italian and b) classy

[video=youtube;XaO1GrltxwM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XaO1GrltxwM[/video]

 

You start, I'll join in.

 

95% of the fans would prefer this song [video=youtube;7qVqrsgmuzE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qVqrsgmuzE[/video]

They can relate because it's what they do most games, I think it'll catch on, provided they haven't got their mouths full. I mean, when you look, Troy Deeney is already having a great time with it.

I'll only sing along if the actions are compulsory too.

 

Not really an 'anthem' suggestion, would probably be better used for a player, but I've always thought the chorus of 'Black Betty' by Ram Jam would sound awesome on the terraces, and it's simple enough.

Whoa Troy Deeney, Bang-them-in (repeat)

 

racist -wat ur twiiter account? u dililt it tonite?

wat about da white betty or da asian betty?

 

Slightly off topic but..

what are our existing proper chants?

"comeee onnn youu hornnsss" really echoes around the stadium and actually sounds really good. Even in the Lower Rous.

Something simple to build atmosphere could be just "Watford, Watford, Watford" in the way Leeds fans etc shout "Yorkshire, Yorkshire, Yorkshire"

It sounds decent and loud and it's ****ing easy to join in on.

 

Ok cool where do you sit, il come to you and start.

 

my thoughts.

We should definitely use an Elton song. No one can accuse us of ripping it off someone else. Your Song is probably the best tune which to base the lyrics around. I don't think it should really have references to todays team/manager unless a name can be easily chanded perhaps. Nor should it contain lyrics about what league we are in. The earlier efforts on this thread were a good start. One verse and one chorus is sufficient. (i guess that makes it 2 verses)

 

The 'laaaa, lalalalalaaaa, lalalalalaaaaa, lalalalalalaaaaa' of Crocodile Rock is the best bit of an Elton John song to use at a football game. An octave down though, we don't want to sound like we've all lost it. With a steady clapping beat. Could sound alright. But would feel weird until it was a regular thing to sing, and that goes for all the new suggestions.

 

Not really an anthem but not a bad idea for a chant with a shout of 'You 'orns' after the last lalalalala.

Surely coming from liverpool you you can come up with some good lyrics K ?
