Possible song for Cheersquad???

[Kristin5]

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that a poster on From The Outer has written a song to the tune of TNT (AC/DC), titled CFC. The poster's name is Sanabas, and he thought it might be a good song for the cheerquad to sing (chant) at Pies games next season:


CFC

Hear us yell out from the outer
While you're at the footy game
Out to cheer on Collingwood
The other's aren't the same
Magpies to the left of me
Magpies to the right
We're number one
Yeah number one
We're the black and white

Cos we're cfc, the black and white
Cfc, have you seen the light
Cfc, we are on the rise
Cfc, we're the mighty pies

The Magpies, what a football team
Greatest in the land
Collingwood is number one
D'ya understand?
So stand on your esky
Pick up a beer
Yell out your loudest
Cos this is our year
The pies are back in town
The rest are going down

Cos we're cfc, the black and white
Cfc, have you seen the light
Cfc, we are on the rise
Cfc, we're the mighty pies

Cfc, oi, oi, oi
Cfc, oi, oi, oi
Cfc, oi, oi, oi
Cfc, oi, oi, oi
Cfc, oi, oi, oi, the black and white
Cfc, oi, oi, oi, have you seen the light
Cfc, oi, oi, oi, we are on the rise
Cfc, we're the mighty pies

Sorry, Kristin, but we wouldn't have a snow-balls chance in hell of getting anything as complicated as that one up and running.

A cheer squad chant needs to be ... first and foremost ... SIMPLE enough to be taught to a large gathering of people fairly quickly. Which means that it usually has to be short and sweet. And instantly recognisable.

Do kids still listen to AC/DC ?

I'm not knocking them, by the way. They're a great band. But I would have thought most of their fans would have been my age ... i.e. bloody old.

Yeah, fair enough Alf - but what about just the chorus:

We're cfc, the black and white
Cfc, have you seen the light
Cfc, we are on the rise
Cfc, we're the mighty pies


That should be simple enough, I think!

And regarding whether kids still listen to AC/DC...I wouldn't know as I'm not a kid!!!

well.. as a "kid" i know i still listen to ACDC, how could anyone go passed them? its a great chant, would be mad if we could just use the chorus...
