Rubbish and unoriginal Chants

[Henry 0]

So many times i have noticed chants mentioned on here being criticised.Rubbish .... Awful .... Unoriginal.Good job OTBC was introduced by 1902, would have had no chance today. Would get much of the same criticism.Anyone brave enough to dream up an original song is quickly shot down in flames rather than offered encouragement or constructive help.This has left me wondering ... if everything is so damn awful ... what kind of song or chant would everyone here like to start off? Or perhaps we should just re-cycle the same over and over again and not add to the songs that NCFC fans sing.Ideas?

Monkey chants at Gareth Bale was a highlight this season.

[crabbycanary 2]

Even the Stevenage fans were singing it on Sunday, the poor lad can''t get away from it. Was it mentioned in the press as it was after our game with them?

Henry, what chants/songs do you think would be good, witty and original?

[The Yellow Pimpernel 0]

We need original songs not copies of other clubs songs. We used to have such variety in the 70s and 80s before the Barclay got bulldozed and the ground became sanitised.  Anyway, enough of my gripes.

What about something along the lines of:

 

In the city where I was born,

Lived a man with a yellow team,

And he told us of his life,

In the land of yellow and green.

 

So we thought we''d have some fun,

Till we found a city of green,

And we lived for our football team,

In our Yellow City

 

We all live in a Yellow City,

Yellow City, Yellow City,

We all live in a Yellow City,

Yellow City, Yellow City

 

Please sing to The Beatles Yellow Submarine, if you hadnt already guessed.

 

Now dont pop at me, Im tone deaf and far from musically talented, and this shall be my only post if heavily abused!

Good to see some replies [:)]Certainly think the Yellow Submarine tune has potential.

[The Yellow Pimpernel 0]

Actually, after re-reading, we need to change the last line of the seconf verse.

 

Replace "In our yellow city" with "Who played in the yellow and green".

 

So should go like:

 

So we thought we''d have some fun,

Till we found the city of green,

And we lived for our football team,

Who played in the yellow and green.

 

Sounds and ryhmes better!

 

I expect everyone to be singing this against Man Utd or Ill be very very upset!

I actually thought monkey chants a Bale was a bit poor. Wasn''t funny, it''d been done for years before. Nothing great about it at all.

Not surprised BW loved it though.

[Syteanric 1]

we are Norwich to the tune of "we are sailing" was one of my favourites... sadly a long dead chant now i fear :(

[No Quarter 0]

Quite like the yellow submarine idea, although I would say to just leave the lyrics as the Beatles wrote them.  Everybody knows the words, everybody knows the song, and singing "we all live in a yellow submarine" is funny!  Plus, as we are sneaking unnoticed up the league, we have got some submarine qualities anyway!So we sailed on to the sun,

Till we found the sea green,

And we lived beneath the waves,

In our yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine,

yellow submarine, yellow submarine.

i find it a bit boring that every chant now goes to the tune of `sloop john b`  but i suppose its quite an easy melody to add words to [:)]

How about:

Yellow is the colour

Of my City team

In the season

When we rise

In the season

When we rise

When we rise

When we rise

In the Premier league

To the tune of Mellow Yellow-Donovan

For those old enough to remember!

[Jarrolder 0]

For Mellow Yellow-read "Yellow is the Colour"

He obviously had something about yellow.

Heard a few lads trying to get this going in Weatherspoons before a match last season.  Simple and i like it: -

 

To Coldplays "Yellow"

We hate the scum in blue

There was a time where we sung ''We all support a green and yellow team'' to the Yellow submarine tune.

Thank you everyone for the replies to this thread. Plenty of thought provoking ideas ... especially the older chants. Seem to remember a chant sung to the tune of " I was born under a wandering star," always liked the thought of that, although the lyrics would have to be changed in these times [;)]. I understand The " Yellow Submarine " used to sung at Carrow Road years ago. I like it and sounds like a chant to get the crowd participating. Had a trawl around youtube however and came up with this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpiYRH5rLw&feature=relatedOle ole ole ole ole ole olaOle ole ole ole ole ole olaWe are Norwich CityThe Yellow Army, The Yellow ArmyUnoriginal i know ... River Plate, Ascoli, Rapid Bucharest and Ajax sing it occasionally. But no team here ( to the best of my knowledge ) sing it. A few Irish teams have dabbled with it as far as i can make out.What does everyone think?

Yeah that''s got some legs in it. Don''t know if we need the third line as it is. Maybe "Look how they play for us" or "And everything City do"
