The Yellow Order

I've been going to watford for nearly 20 years and we've never come up with an original chant in all that time.

Dont extect it to start now. Whenever someone does try something new, they just get shot down.

Lellow army lellow army

 

There probably haven't been any original chants for 20 years anywhere.

All songs are sung by all teams everywhere, with a couple of very specific exceptions such as Wet Spams ultra gay bubbles song.

 

The Bubbles song and the Rodgers and Hammerstein joint the Scousers sing is indicative of a collective psychosis that makes ordinary people sing extraordinarily ridiculous things in the name of their football team.

I think WFC should sing EJ's Daniel.

 

60000 celtic were belting out that chant today, very certain they aren't discussing what team they stole that chant from!

 

Why can't we be original and steal our own song from the continent?

 

This song thing's bothered me for a while..palace have a fairly original albeit slightly annoying song they belt out (only when winning :biggrin.

Surely, there must be an Elton John song we can adapt and make our own? Any suggestions? Any budding song writers who can come up with some:badge: lyrics to an EJ tune!?

 

I'm just pleased the rookery is no longer dead silent !!

Long may it continue to grow and get louder i say !

 

here here, the more noise the more atmosphere the better

You just need to think how good Fratton Park is when in full voice.

 

Nah - Bennie and the Jets would be much worse.

 

Some of the people in the Rockery haven't mastered the basics of the English language , so how Hell do expect them to sing in a Foreign one.

 

I'm not one for writing songs, mainly because i'm pretty crap at it, but i heard this on the radio this morning and thought it was worth a few word changes -

In the town where I was born,
There’s a club I love to see,
And I’ll follow them all my life,
Singing in the Rookery,

We all live in a yellow wonderland,
Yellow wonderland, yellow wonderland,
We all live in a yellow wonderland,
Yellow wonderland, yellow wonderland,

Just keep going till it dies or add a line to the end

 

Clearly you being one of them. 'Rockery' and 'how Hell do expect'.
Think you mean 'Rookery' and 'how the hell do you expect them'.

The Yellow Order have tried something called the Dale Cavese:

However, it doesn't seem to catch on. As for copying teams from Europe, it can sometimes be ok, but we are English, we have the best league in the world, we created the game and we should have the best fans in the world. We should be able to make our own football chants out of english songs. I still think that a good song to sing would be a quicker version of Yellow by yawnmongers.

Finally, I agree with Hollywood. Some of them may be some spotty teens, but they have quickly become a unit and are quite well organised. They are all there for the same reason, and that is to support the team, so lets continue showing our support to them, and make Vicarage Road a more enjoyable place to come to.

 

That's exactly the sort of thing we need. Have you thought about passing this idea onto The Yellow Order?

 

:sign15:

 

i'm sure they read this post, i'll try to avoid taking royalties

 

I think the Dale Caverse song is a good idea, fairly simple to sing and a great way to get the atmosphere going.

 

Yellows..

What about Cold Play's 'Yellow'? This has got to be made for us to adapt..

No doubt someone could do a better job with the lyrics than yours truly but how about this;

'Sing for the 'Orns
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
We are all Yellows..'

'I'll sing this song
Sing this song for you
We are all Yellows..'

Cowie Crossed
And Graham scored for you
Oh what a thing to do
Cos we are all Yellows..'

Feedback? Thoughts? :whoosh:

 

dreadfull

 

Your spelling or my post?

 

At Doncaster, a few people were singing... (Tom Hark tune)

Marvin Sordell, Marvin Sordell...
He's better than Messi and he's English as well.

I like this, or either...

Marvin Sordell, Marvin Sordell...
He's better than Rooney and he eats less as well.

 

both darling x

 

In that case, come up with some better lyrics yourself or write out 'dreadful' 50 times and hand it in on Monday..

Just use this :sign13:

 

No thanks , done my time at the back of the rookery , them days is gone

 

The last few posts, attempting to write songs are exactly why Watford fans are a laughing stock.

 

wheres your father?
wheres your father?
wheres your father Mr Moog?

you aint got one
you aint got one
you're a bar steward Mr Moog!

 

Outlooks like this are exactly why Vicarage Road will continue to be a festering pit of negativity...and have one of the dullest atmospheres in the league..:dismay:

 

This tune has been suggested many times before, but unfortunately it is just toooooo sloooooow for a football crowd to sing!!!

I suggested this tune on another thread a few days ago, I actually think this one could work!!!

 

No, the reason for the negativity at the Vic is that we're 10 games without a win, with a clueless manager, a team in decline and nothing in the future apart from gradual regression down the leagues.

The atmosphere is crap because there's nothing to cheer about. Singing yawnmongers dirges will not alter that.

 

Do you have a section on Gloryhorns where the dribblers can write their songs?

 

I've got a few songs I'm gonna try and start against Millwall tomorrow.

 

yawnmongers are so depressing.

 

As far as adopting the tune Yellow goes, the yawnmongers song has going for it the fact that most everyone knows it. The bad thing, critical in my opinion, is that it ends on a down note. Nail in the coffin in my opinion.

If it wasn't literally about most likely Watford lads of 30 years ago beating one another up, Sir Elton's Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting would be great. On the other hand, that may make it perfect.

 

The atmosphere at the Vic was crap and the underlying negativity was there even during our run of 7 wins on the bounce....this is down to short-sighted clueless fans with their glasses permanently half empty and an inability to see the big picture...nothing else.

Heaven forbid that we might be brave enough to try singing a few new songs and realise that we play a (big) part in raising the atmosphere at the Vic and spirits of the players. Dinosaurs..
