had a similar idea the other day

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Bluetongue
Like a packet of Winfields
Like a good pinch of snuff
Like night out at Troppo
Like a Monty's chip butty
Central Coast Mariners
Come thrill me again....
Na Na Na Naa Naa Naaaaa, ooo!

Ahh cr*p. Sorry mods, I looked through the recent posts and couldn't see anything, but it looks like I need to go back to forum school

Please merge or delete.

Yeh, I think Troppo works better than Gosford. Not so sure about Monty's though; its kind of the signature line of the chant.

 

[dibo]

well... we don't really have chip butties here either...

i don't think it's terrible to have this as a separate thread, it's something peeps may want to discuss somewhat separately to the tie-up deal.

ok was looking up what the f**k a chip butty is and found this... totally off topic but ummm...

Chip butty
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Chip butty with tomato ketchup; A chip sandwich or, sometimes in the United Kingdom and New Zealand - a chip butty, is a sandwich made with bread (usually white and buttered) and chips, (french fries) often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce or HP Sauce. [1] It was originally considered a working-class meal, served in pubs. It is more common in the north of England.

A football chant (sung to Annie's Song by John Denver) called "The Greasy Chip Butty Song" is popular with the supporters of Sheffield United Football Club.

good one imo

 

[Tassiemariner]

Maybe sing "yellow army" or "mariners clap clap clap" after that to keep the crowd involved.

Are you serious with this idea??? After all the previous threads which concerntrated on songs and chants, if you think this is the best we can come up with then think again! The number of times I've used the phrase "chip butty" in my life.... zero! The fact that Bex had to post a Wikipedia definition says it all. Unless I've missed the irony, then I suggest more effort be put into lyrics that are more relevant than chip butties and snuff.

Not attempting to dampen any enthusiasm, but this song (with Sydney biased words) was sung by Northern Spirit supporters in the NSL. Therefore Sydney FC fans will claim it a blatant rip-off!  :

i think it falls squarely in the box marked 'brainfart', but at the same time a little creativity and initiative from those who otherwise knock wouldn't be the worst thing we could ever have.

This issue of songs and chants keeps going around in circles. A thread starts, and people come up with some really witty and wonderful ideas and it ends there. In the past, I've asked that we put a short list of favourite songs/chants to the forum members for a vote and concerntrate on getting the crowd to learn the lyrics of the winner. Alas, all it takes is for one "opponent" to post something like... "I'd rather songs come "organically" from the crowd, rather than force them upon people"... and we are back to square 1.

So here we are, after the completion of V3 and so far the crowd knows the lyrics to "Mariners"... clap, clap, clap.

True, I had to look up the meaning too.

Maybe "Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden Cars" then? ;D

this isn't talking about anthems though, that's a different matter entirely. this is just a song. an anthem will be the song which is picked up by everyone.

frankly, we don't even have half of bay 16 singing most days and the resistance to new songs (or worse, tweaks to older songs) is at times completely overpowering, so a poll to determine an anthem would be no more productive than nailing jelly to the wall.

...no more productive than nailing jelly to the wall.

well I wish you were around that time I wasted a whole weekend trying this

 

[radar]

Who is this Jelly girl, and can I have her number..?

Thanks Dibo, I'm so glad you provided some creativity and initiative rather than just knocking the idea. :

"You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Blue Tongue
Like a packet of skittles
Like a good pinch on the as$
Like night out in Gossy
Like a greasy steak sanga
Like Central Coast Mariners
Come fill me again....
Na Na Na Naa Naa Naaaaa, ooo!"

Changes explained:
a) You can't smoke anywhere anymore in Australia, but there is still no law against eating mountains upon mountains of skittles so I replaced the winnies line.

b) No one does snuff outside of Europe except a couple of pals from my school days. However, almost everyone enjoys both giving and receiving as$ pinches.

c) If you need to look up wikipedia to learn about a steak sanga then you may as well move to Newcastle because you must be a dumb as$.

i posted a version of the song a coupla days before this thread came about, clearly people don't think it will take off - no biggie. my 'brainfart' post was just alluding to my frustration at the fact that the number of songs that i and other people have put up on here for them to never be heard again is amazing, and then people complain we've got no repertoire...
