Marinators songs

[Jimmy]

I like the words (not the song). Only thing wrong from my perspective is all the hand in hand stuff is a bit bent. Couldn't it be changed to something like:

Win or lose, sink or swim

One thing is certain well never give in

Side by side, beer in hand

We all stand together

Play the game, fight the fight

Well get three points what a beautiful sight

Arm in arm, Beer in hand

We all stand together

What if there's a few of us that don't drink? And i know that a few us dont.
TBH I don't appreciate being labelled as a "drunk".
Unfortunatly that image comes with me being a marinator.

 

[adz]

lighten up, man ;D

 

[BAD BULLZ]

Can anyone clever get the lyrics to the carlton draught beer add??? We would be able to change the words into a lardel song and sing at the scum or even change a few more words and turn it into a whoniho song it came on at the end of the game last night it would be heaps funny.

 

[JetsArePathetic]

How about putting a spin on Sweet Caroline...it writes itself. Imagine the whole bay doing the Boh, Boh, Boh's.

Or even change up Johnny Farnham's You're The Voice...there's a challenge. Then we could use the bagpipe dude. (Before you comment I'm fully aware that Farnham sucks and has come back more times than last night's vindaloo)

Great suggestions, i think there all tops. That Paul McCartny*(can't spell) song is great. I think it's possible to use all of that song. During the climax and before it (those "la la la la la's), i think it's possible to use that, eg
Laaaa la la la
laa la la la
keeping us warm in the night**?
buhhhh buh buh buh buh

instead
Laaa la la la
laa la la la
we are the mariners
from the central coast

in the climax
We will beat you

???, anyway.
I saw a couple of guys start the nurumberg* fc chant, great stuff(no sarcsim).

The video is pretty good, going off the chants posted before.

 

[Blackadder]

Hmmm with all this talk of the dock as a expansion at the home end, something from Otis Reading "Sitting on the dock of the bay"

 

[Alicia]

I'm not sure if anyone has suggested this before, but what about mariners to the tune of TNT.

Either,

Mariners, (oi, oi, oi)
Mariners, (oi, oi, oi)
Mariners, (oi, oi, oi)
Mariners, (oi, oi, oi)

or

'Cause were Mariners. we're dynamite
Mariners and we'll win the fight
Mariners we're a power load
Mariners watch us explode

Yay or Gay???

 

[fish]

Damn  there is no gay emoticon pirate

ah well I could put a picture of Aussiecross up that would be the same ;D

 

[Part_Timer]

ohhh thats low haha

 

[~Floss~]

OK how's this one I thought of - for anyone who used to watch old-school kids' tele:

Well you know his name is Simon
And he'd like to be sco-ring
He likes to score
All day long
So come on Matty sco-ore one for me

Gay... or nay?

 

[Part_Timer]

emo kids...sitting down
stand up now you look like clowns
in THE BAY we sing songs...so stand up and have a go
and dont wear black... wear lots of yellow

 

[fish]

The Village people have invaded the forum

 

[Rowdy]

should be in the joke section I know, but seems approp;

Q) What do you call a kid sitting on the bottom of the pool, cutting himself?

A) nEMO. 

 

[Rowdy]

Or we could do it Eminem 'Slim Shady' style:

We aren't all EMO's & we don't CUT-UP
We wear our Yellow & we give a fcuk!

So could all you EMO's sitting down the front
Please Stand-UP
Please Stand-UP

So could all you EMO's sitting down the front
Please Stand-UP
Please Stand-UP

then rip into "Stand Up 4 the Mariners"

 

[Sawtell Mariner]

Heres one we could try out against Sack 'em,
old beatles song, Yellow submarine.

  We all go for the - Yellow Mariners, the Yellow Mariners, the Yellow Mariners.
We all go for the - Yellow Mariners, the Yellow Mariners, the Yellow Mariners.

 

[rosko]

The boys used to sing to that one.. We all follow a yellow football team.. a yellow football team..... at least im sure it was in the original 'song book'....

 

[Drunken Rodent]

To " I've been working on the railroad"

Sydney coaches in the dole queue
John Kosmina jump in line too
You'll be sacked before the seasons through
Wooden spoon for you

Sorry for my ignorance, but did you guys ever get the suggested Paul Mc Cartney song lyrics from Jimmydinho up and running as a song???

It's a fantastic pick because they are very powerful pull at the heart/feel some pride style lyrics...
Such lyrics should in my opinion be used for the "walk on" song.

That being the case, I felt they should also be set to a very powerful and well known song that was designed to evoke in much the same way as the lyrics are... Something that will truly bring a tear and an inner fire to our boys on the park and unite the coast masses.

Ok, so my suggestion is that we set the lyrics to "Amazing Grace"
It's a very powerful and beautiful song, especially when done by a good singer, but even more powerful when it rises from the throats of the masses... (It's also well known which makes it being picked up very easy and it's impact much stronger) It would be just the one verse, but then followed by a purely instrumental followup verse on the pipes.

Just imagine... it's almost game time... the moment has arrived... the boys are about to come out...
the drums ring out ... and now a cry goes up from the bay "WALK ONNNNN!!!!"

The pipes hit the first note and hold...
and then the whole of the stadium begins to sing to the tune of amazing grace...

Win or lose, sink or swim,
We will never, give in.
Side by side, hand in hand,
Together, we always stand.
Play our game, fight our fight,
Hearts ablaze, with all our might.
Arm in arm, hand in hand,
Together, the yellow, STAND...

The boys are on the park making there line... and now the lone pipes wails out
another haunting chorus across the park... this instrumental chorus seeping into the hearts of whichever enemy
has dared to today enter our hallowed ground, leaching out their strength, and filling our boys with fire.

Shouldn't be a dry eye, or non proud heart in the park.  :'( irate:

Lawrie talks about making Blue tongue the fortress, and this would be a befitting song for our yellow army to make it's stand by I think... An opening battle cry. Has anyone ever heard the pipes do amazing grace? It's just AWESOME - you cannot not be moved.

To make it roll more fluently, I had to do a little doctoring -
but in essence it's still pretty much exactly the same.

??? I'd be very interested to hear the opinions of our veteran marinator members who's support and approval it would take for this to have a chance of coming to fruition - and hopefully you may also think that this has as much merit and possibility as I do... If so... I will happily get a few quality singers that I know together and make a recording fro your further perusal and then can see where we can go from there...

Best Wishes all
6 points clear is drawing near

soccersensei - All I can say is - the song is one in a long line of excellent suggestions on the forum. We try some of the suggestions, others float off into cyberspace, but basically getting something from the written stage to the singing with the masses (most of whom don't read the forum) is difficult. Particularly with less singing in the Kendall, it's hard to educate news songs across.

Getting songsheets out to teach harder songs has basically been ignored, getting a recording up might be another tactic. But you're welcome to go to the effort and when it comes down to it if it catches on it's good enough!
