FORCE SONG

[Lonzy]

okay so I dont know did we pick a song??

I was listening to a cd today when I heard a great one!

United - Judas Priest

Look around.
They're moving in.
Hold your ground,
When they begin.

We can do it,
We can do it, and if they wanna, they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here!

Gonna keep on driving, never stop!

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up,
Don't give in!
Make a stand:
We're gonna win!

We can do it,
We can do it, and if they wanna, they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here!

Gonna keep on driving, never stop!

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up!

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all


I think its a gooden ... what do you all recon ... ??

Hey Lonzy.

I've just pasted below my ideas from my intro thread, but see what ya reckon...

There's 2 problems at the Force in my opinion.

1. The lineout!!

2. The song... my god.... it's possibly the worst thing I have ever heard recorded and is unsingable for both the team and the fans. I appreciate that the damage is done and its unlikely to be struck as the official team song any time soon, but what I think is that we should develop an alternate song or chant that we can sing live at games en masse to get the boys fired up.

Think of the greatest sporting chants and songs- hate them as I may, there's something pretty special about 50,000 english rugby fans singing 'Swing Low' in unison around a ground. Something like that- slow, not too big a range, something everyone knows the tune to- thought maybe even 'Auld Lang Syne' with a simple, single verse of 'Force-themed' lyrics. Will have a bash at that myself but I reckon everyone should have a think and see if we cant come up with something fantastic. In my experience, a song or chant that people around the ground can sing together in unison makes an incredible difference to the atmosphere at a game.

Cheers

GO THE FORCE!!

How about for a starter to Auld Lang Syne...

We are The Force,
We are The Force,
We are The Western Force

We're here to ruck,
We're here to maul,
We're here to beat 'em all

[JohnBoy]

I reckon that we need some more chants developing rather than Force 'clap' 'clap' 'clap', there are quite a number of chants around that can be modified to suit the Force, I'll give it some thought.

Not much rhymes with Force though sadly.

The Force is a force, of course of course ?

Floated this one earlier to "mixed acclaim" however a few more people around these days to REALLY lay the boots in this time
If you don't know the tune then make sure you listen before you pass judgement, you may be surprised!
The original lyrics and the music clip can be found at either of these two links:

I like it, I think it is simple with an easy tune and a good laugh.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you’re cheering for WA
I can’t wait to head back to Subi
Coz they get better lookin’ each day

To know them is to love them
They sure are a hell of a clan
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But I'm doin' the best that I can

We used to follow the footy
But I guess that just couldn’t compete
With all these Rugby starved Sandgropers
We keep clamoring to our feet

Well, we probably are a bit biased
The Blue Army roaring at Subi
Who cares, we never get bitter
And we’ll treasure each victory

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you’re cheering for WA
I can’t wait to head back to Subi
Coz they get better lookin’ each day

To know them is to love them
They sure are a hell of a clan
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But we’re doin' the best that we can

I guess you could say I am a dreamer
One eyed, blue jersey and proud
Well I could wear other colours if I wanted
But then I wouldn’t help make this Blue Crowd

Some folks say that we’re egotistical
Hell we don't even know what that means
I guess it has something to do with the way
That we’re better than the rest of the teams!

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
When you’re cheering for WA
I can’t wait to head back to Subi
Coz they get better lookin’ each day

To know them is to love them
They sure are a hell of a clan
Oh Lord it's hard to be humble
But we’re doin' the best that we can
But we’re doin' the best that we can

makes the dockers song sound reasonable

[Burgs]

Wash your mouth out Happy, nothing could make the Dockers song sound reasonable!
It's not intended to be a club song dude, just a "singalong" bit of fun like the chants people are talking about
Give it a try to the sound clip at the top of your lungs, it's quite addictive

[prop53]

ban the claps, and beat out the theme from Star Wars. lol lol

[Burgs]

Much to pruc's disgust I'm sure, but the Scotch Pipe Band used to play that at Championships, used to go down really well too!
