'Who do we sing for?'

[dibo]

I really like this song because it's got some cracking potential to it, but if we're going to do it, I reckon we need to pick up the pace and hold it more consistently - it's very stilted and tuneless at the moment. With a tune it runs itself, without it has to wait for the lead.

We already have songs that go into 'ole, ole ole ole' too, so it'd be nice to change the mix a little.


The original RC Lens version goes like this:



We have words already, no problem there:

Lead - who do we sing for?

Response - we sing for coasties!

If we pick up the pace and keep it at a consistent tempo, it means the drums can help guide the pace a little more we can do things like having bays calling to each other, which would be a little easier on the leaders' voices too. They'd only have to lead it out once or twice and then let it roll from there.

Got a fantastic workout at CCLC last night. Makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

the 'ole ole ole' version?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Eventually and the response has to be mega passionate too. Last night was v emotional and it was sung with "some feeling" let me say.

 

[Jimmy]

I cant stand that ole version, it makes me cringe, and it's way to slow at the moment too.

ill try and organise some of the people that know how to sing it and hopefully it carries on from there.

 

[dibo]

the 'who do we bloody sing for' bit makes my blood freeze.

pace and pep, pretty please.

if a crew starts singing it and just keeps rolling it on, people will catch on.

 

[Sean]

Could we please change the Who do we sing for, instead of MARINERS! say COASTIE(S)!

would sound much better in a chant than saying the full Mariners, seeing we are taking off Sydney's chant and the Aussie chant at the Olyroos. Both ending in EEEE.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Coasties 100%

If we could get the 2 bays singing 2 one another that would be so awesome!

It shall be done.

How good does the trumpet sound with the clapping part? Even if the trumpeter isn't the best at keeping up.

Can't wait to help out with this version. dibo - I see this as a chant aubs should still have an influence in, I'd say meet up with him before the game and go through it with him.

 

[Davo]

Yeah this will sound unreal.  The raised arm salute looks awesome as well.

 

[Davo]

Everyone should watch the clip above that Dibo posted.  The more people we can get with that tune in their head the better it will turn out.

Dibo, u suggesting we go with their clapping tune on the clip?

'Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Da Da Da Da, Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Da Da Da Da, Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da' <--- Sorry if thats a poor attempt at putting sounds to words

How about (thanks to Murphs):

Who do we sing for??

WE SING FOR THE CHAMPIONS!!!!

[mariners4ever]

and maybe if we did use that version serious, we could even use

CHAMPIONES, CHAMPIONES, OLE OLE OLE....

instead of ole ole ole ole ole

thoughts ??

i think auburn's a good one to kick it off - there's something about raw power in that...

just need to get the pace right.
