As we all seem to be rather excited about Paolo’s appointment and the breath of fresh air blowing through the CG, do you think we now have an opportunity to come up with some new songs to replace the tired old crap of recent seasons?
Maybe something with an Italian theme or nicked from Lazio etc?
I would welcome the chance to belt out a few new numbers but my cup of creative juices does not exactly ‘runneth over’ so I’ll leave it to the wordsmiths amongst you to come up with the goods….

When....you.....raise your right hand, to the curva nord stand....

No, no, we've left that behind now.

I'd be happy with any songs provided there's no drums involved. Last season I heard a fan with a drum far too much. I'd like to think someone will kill him eventually.

Is it we are Paolo's Barmy Army?

or Paolo Di Canio's Red and White Army?

as long as they are sung faster than ever before with the spasticated clap!

BBC documentary from 2002 here on Lazio's Ultras.

Blimey - wish I'd not watched those clips now, it has somewhat deflated my 'excited balloon'.
Would I be the only one who is a little uncomfortable that our new hero is so revered by fans like that lot?

Are we about to start attracting mad Italian extremist fans?? Could make the Oxford games interesting :suicide:

I have acquired several new italian followers on Twitter - any bad behaviour and they'll be blocked

I went to watch Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest on the last day of the season and I was impressed with the Palace stand's chanting duringthe game.  Reminds me of the chanting at Italian games, and they kept it up for most of the 90 mins.


Here's a video of the song that they kept going for 20 mins or so ("..we support the Palace, the Palace, the Palace, and that's the way we like it, like it, like it...etc")

Someone on ThisisSTFC said about changing the celery song to Spaghetti and throwing spaghetti sticks at matches. It's completely and utterly fucking ridiculous but i think that's the appeal

That is awesome, although would be better if we completely changed the song tom something Paolo related.

Spaghetti! Spaghetti! When Swindon win, hear the Town End sing.....something or other

Was hoping for something my kids could sing along with.... don't fancy having to explain that one  :(
As for the Palace clip, thats a bit more like it! (without the drum backing though)

But it could be changed to something more Paolo related.

In other news, weve had an ultras style supporter element, albeit alot smaller than the Holmesdale fanatics, for far longer than Palace as far as I'm. Id really like the appointment to reinvigorate the Swindon ultras

Maybe we could get the Town End to adopt Joe Dolce's Shaddap You Face.

Could be a belter!

Actually, the more I think about this, the more I really like it.

that too is a cracking idea

neither hopefully.
'di can io's red and white army' fits

Anyone who sings the word Barmy in any song should be shot. We are Paolo's red and white army for me

Fuck off

It's we are Paolo's salami army

We are Paolo's Red & White Army?

The Barmy Army is England cricket.  Nothing to do with STFC.

Paolo, oh, oh!
di Canio, oh, oh, oh, oh!

To the tune of Volare. I may need some help with more lyrics! (45 seconds in).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyYJ7UVUSOw&feature=related

Thats fucking wicked can we do the same first game of the season? please!!!
everybody seems so excited and cant wait for the first game of the season!!! come on you reds!!!

We support the town, the town the town and thats the way we way we like it we like it>

So many shit clubs now sing this that I can't stand it personally. The scenes in the video in are awesome but the song is shit and just a development of the drum at places like Stevenage

To the tune of Con Te Partiro:

Paolo Di Canio
He's an evil fascist, not a racist man
He played for Lazio
Manages Swindon Town

....he is a fascist twat

but we dont care 'bout that..

I wants to play the shit Italian song game :)

"Hey! Paolo, Paolo Di Canio!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtoZ6GRPGbo

HEY PAOLO ! PAOLO DI CANIO !

I like it !

I reckon it's great.

Would sound fantastic at a match

There's a syllable missing though

He pushed over Alcock
He'll take us to the top
He's di Canio

to the tune of 'when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie'

Or
Hey Paolo! Paolo the Italiano!

To the tune of "we no speak americano"
PAOLO DI CANIO
doo doo doo do do

Hey......heyeah... Paolo, you wanna knowoooo...how we got di canio..  Sang to pissed off away fans to the tune of hey baby I wanna know...... I think it would work anyway !

Think jutty's is much better than my idea

get stocked up for the away games lads, only 20p a pack

It's no celery though is it.

Spaghetti, Spaghetti
If she doesn't cum, I'll tickle her bum,
With a pack of Tesco Value Spaghetti.

Winner by a mile. This can be done.

It MUST be done

When you're down from league 1
And you're playing the scum
Call Di Canio

ooh put ours together and we've got two verses

Nah yours is shite tbh

Yep...dont over estimate the singing capability of the TE...I think this is doable though....

How about The Steve Miller band's "Abra-abra-cadabra".....
 
Instead of "Abra-abra-cadabra, I want to reach out and grab ya"

"Paolo, Paolo Di Canio, He's gonna reach out and push/grab/fuck/salute ya"  * delete as applicable.

Who needs Moriniho? We've got Di Canio!

Something to the tune of Nelly the Elephant

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVWMZwALKyA

To Swindon, A Media circus came,
It left behind a new manager,
and Paolo was his name!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Paolo Di Canio Packed his bags and said goodbye to Italia,
Came to Swindon to win the League, WIN THE LEAGUE!

Paolo Di Canio Packed his bags and said goodbye to Italia,
Came to Swindon to win the League, WIN THE LEAGUE!

Crispy you have far too much time on your hands, but that is awesome.

I think that counts as Crispy's best ever post.

Agreed, fine effort Crispy, I hope to hear this one at the CG in August!

Thanks Crispy - that is the sort of thing I had in mind - I knew the tune would work.

Fantastic work Crispy, lets hope it catches on.

Just so I know, when we sing this would we all be doing that 'shaky hand' thing during the Ooooooooooooooo bit?

Urm, I don't have a Paolo one but...

We've got one, we've got two.... we've got four stands, so should you... (obviously you don't need telling who to sing that to)

songs to the tune of nelly the elephant?!?! have a word for fucks sake.

I find myself agreeing more and more with you recently arriba.  I doubt the average townender has the attention span to get through more than two lines of that.

i dunno whats worse.the idea in the first place, or people telling crispy its good and his best post.
poor cunt,doesn't set the bar high does it?

Hehe, lovely stuff!

In fairness, everyone should reserve the right to improve themself,  but we are talking limbo rather than pole vault, I'll grant you.

Its a classic in the making and your all just jealous!!..

..I'll get my coat... :bye:

Nelly the elephant tunes are the future. You are all just a bunch of fucking football dinosaurs.

No need.  Carry on and ignore the moaners until they can come up with something better.
