New Don Cowie Song

Wed Feb 15, 2012 9:30 am

I'm as fed up of the monotonous "Three Little Birds" song going round right now (good song, but translates poorly as a football chant, especially when some decide to start singing it at 3-0 up!?) as anyone so I got thinking about other reggae songs that might work as football chants but aren't boring and likely to send people off to sleep when being sung...

I came up with this little gem...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hQDV4ATX9w

For the chorus instead of...

Girl I want to make you sweat
Sweat til you can sweat no more etc


We sing...

Don we want to see you score
Score til you can score no more
And when we cry out
We wanna see you score one more!


Then we can mix it up by singing "Don, Donny, Donny, Don, Don, Don, Don, Cowie! Come on!" instead of the "A la la la la long" bit.

It's simple, effective and it gives another chant to one of our best players. I know the original lyrics are a bit sexual but I think using the Don Cowie's lyrics it works. Just need a boisterous gent with a loud voice to sing it now!

I just think we need some new songs for our players. It's better when a player has a new song rather than old songs used again.

I think i'd keep the tune of Three little birds and maybe change the words as a tribute to our midfield 3
"With Don Cowie, Gunnarson and peter whittingham It's gonna be alright
Thoughts?
Maybe a "Bluebirds Bluebirds Bluebirds" chant following on from that after being sung 3 times.
