whenever i watch a game on telly and see Teams come out to songs like delilah,marching on together,bubbles etc i allways think it would be great if we actually had a song that the whole crowd sang to.It allways sounds loud as fuck..

Any good songs anyone would like us to sing?

This has been asked so many times over recent years.

I don't see how it could be anything but "Can't Help Falling In Love" to be honest

i concur, i was going to try and remedy this but my procastrination interefered with it and i forgot about it.

i'm thinking that club foot would be perfect, although the footy factory connotations are a bit annoying.

Club Foot by Kasabian?

would 6 or 7 thousand people all know the words to it though?

thats what i was thinking. would be fucking ace though innit.

im not sure Clubfoot would sound that good without the music though

Just want something that gets everybody going.

I'd like Hey Boy Hey Girl by the Chemical Bros

HERE WE GO!

but what ever we chose (if we do chose one) please don't let it be as camp as the Forest fans.

I mean wtf is 'You've lost that loving feeling' all about  :?

only thing that made me smile last season was hearing them sing that

GAY

can it please be from Paris to Berlin?

Id love it to be that...

regardless to what we run out to...cant hear the bastard song in the Nationwide anyway

Isn't that a bit of a short term thing though? Imagine if it was Mike Flowers because that was a hit at the time! You need something that has passed the test of time. I can't think of anything because my tastes are from one extreme to the other.

Saturday by Elton John? It's a day I'm looking forward to these days :)

Fuckin' In The Bushes was favourite last time this was mentioned.

Please, no shit by Kasabian. Fucking awful band.

and whats wrong with the Superstars theme??  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

personally id like us to come out to that old west country classic ... Ive got a Combine Harvester!

and I want you to be mangled by one for that suggestion...

If we had enough people sining the words to a decent song, it would be great. It won't happen though.

this is the one: stone roses.

MY way by Franky s :shy:

That would be cool just to hear the once when they come out - perhaps the promotion party.

"Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way."

 :thumbs:

New York New York would be better!

Starting spreading the news
We're winning today
just want to be a part of it Swin-don, Swin-don
Those yellows and blues
are fading away
You wanna be a part of it Swindon, Swindon....

i like :clap:

I fucking hate that My way song,  lyrically it sounds like the sort of song a nazi would sing.

...it's more polluted there
than in my underwear
so here's to you Swin-don, Swin-don
 :mrgreen:

Like it Rudeboy.

That or Flower of "Swindon"   :wink:

It's not in Football Factory?  It's in Goal but that's not about thugism...

It has to be Wise Men Say...  No other choice.  Make it happen!

Isn't "I can't help..." used and sung by other clubs, would be nice to be original for a change.

'Whatever happened to
All of the heroes
All the Shakespearoes
Thety watched their Rom burn.
What ever happened to the hearoes ?

No More Heroes Anymore....'

NMH

P.S. Liked the Hey Ya cover.

Poor comment.

...I can see Club Foot working. We could get the olies in the Arkells to start of the whistle effect at the start, then the nationwide can stamp in as the beat and the TE...na na na na na na....

Love Shack

We always used to play it.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: no thanks

always used to be on at half time back in the day

The Bongo Song - Safri Duo
Top Gun Soundtrack
Chumbawumba - I get knocked down

That song was class at the time, ''We'll be singing when we're winnig' ''I get knocked down but i get up again''- very appropriate for us

that was the funniest thing of last saeason, i couldn't believe it when they sang that, how gay is that.

Top gun soundtrack?!?!Are you Birdy in disguise :wink:

As DV said can't hear it in the South Stand so it doesn't really bother me.

U2 - Elevation? sung as Relegation by the Carlisle fans when they went down - very good.

"Rel-leg-gation, Wooooaaaah , Wooooaaahh"

I pretty sure it's the mackems who have claim to it, and a couple of other clubs also sing it.

I thought it was quite cool... :oops:  8)

Only one song needs to be considered.

Queen - We are the Champions  8)

 :nono:  :nono:  :nono:  :nono:  :nono:

To have a Swindon connection we could use XTC's Senses Working Overtime and if we ever have another season like the last one we could always ask them to re-record it as Centrebacks Working Overtime.

we could have ..no limit. :D

and all the world is football shaped!

let me entertain you

highly inapropriate

poll for Saturday's goal music on Twitter now.

the choices are:

XTC - senses
some has been Manchester band
some dullards

it's already been pointed out this might be a bit presumptuous

Kasabian can not be classed as dullards Batch!!  >:(

:) they're ok

Wynona's big brown Beaver by Primus. Natural link from our celery song.

If we wanted a song by someone associated to the club, we should have chose die hard Swindon fans, The Black Keys - https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/bizarre/535099/black-keys-top-sports/

I do wonder if the tour manager in question was our own Saxondale?

I salute you batch, that is some fantastic 12 year thread necromancy.

Chav rock?

I've been waiting for this moment for 12 long years.. I can retire from the TEF now.

Pah, no I can't

XTC all the way for me.

Redneck by Lamb of God?  :)

I'm not a fan of "Senses"  :tomato:

Banger.

I always thought Walk by Pantera would be fun

No link to Swindon but always quite fancied the idea of this....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O7qwQlORlM

Good to sing along with and opportunity for clapping, what more do we need!

It looks as though XTC is storming into a commanding lead, which helps restore some faith in humanity.

Brainbug by Nightmare

If it had to be music with a Swindon link it really should have been Billie......

or Moody Blues, Supertramp, Gilbert O'Sullivan or Jamie Cullum (more as a fan that from Swindon).

"Coz we want to"

Heroes.  Bowie

Swindon connection and the old boys in the Arkells could join in with chorus.

Indeed, Cozy Powell was a massive Town fan right up to his death in 1998.

Dance with the Devil is a brilliant track.

Most importantly has the Intel/South/Nationwide/Don Rogers Stand had the tannoy fixed since 2006?

it worked for a week once.

the best drs one is the one on the outside of the stand

XTC wins.

I've always found it odd that we steal from others when we have our own.

Oasis also had the Swindon link, of course, but nowhere near as close.

I recall someone from the BBC using Stupidly Happy for some montage music at a World Cup semi final. I think it was mainly so they could show Colina while Mr. Partridge sang “with idiot grin.” I often wondered if it could be used as goal music.

They should just play The Disappointed at the final whistle.

Why not go for Duality from Slipknot, the line "I push my fingers into my eyes" is justified after watching the town for the last 5 seasons.

Can we sing Stronger Than Hate by Sepultura when singing about the piss stains?

#...
My streak of hate leads my way.
Look at me,
my feelings turn stronger than hate...#
