Just as an update, the club have agree that we can run a poll on here before each game for the last song before the team runs out (see here (http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=57&func=view&catid=999999&id=1983&limit=30&limitstart=30#2567))
Npmonations dont have to be \"anthems\" as such, just songs you'd like to hear played before the match.

There needs to be clarity in what people are voting for. Two polls asking for people to vote for songs is going to lead to confusion. I think it's a good idea playing 'fans choice' song prior to the teams coming onto the pitch... but it needs to distinguish itself from what this thread is about, and that is a specific song (anthem) of longevity.

Do you feel confused by this? I thought it was clear. Filo is asking for ideas for an anthem, and I was just commenting that the club have agreed we can have a song played before kick off, and link it to a vote on here. There should be no confusion, as the poll isnt even posted up on here yet (and wont be until the week before the Wolves game)
I hope that clarifies things, and Sif can kiss my hairy butt! ;-)

Post by: scriptman on June 02, 2009, 01:44:24 pm
Rob I'm not sure where I said I was confused by this... I pointed out that it might lead to confusion, which it already has because people are posting videos in this thread that are relevant to your idea.
Title: Re:Anthem Poll Nominations
Post by: 18thsouthstandrover on June 02, 2009, 01:58:58 pm
The point is that this thread was set up for anthem nominations so over the summer we could have a vote and finally as a fan base agree on one anthem to push for getting played on a regular basis. Rob is what you discussed intented for an anthem on a regular basis or a song for the team to come out to for the one game voted on.
This thread was set up by filo after the other thread re: impossible dream was agreed by nathan that if there were a few anthem suggestions to could get a poll and then try to get the winner played at the start of the season. I think that is where the confusion lies as people are posting up songs as apposed to an anthem.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on June 02, 2009, 10:53:45 pm
If I could put my two penneth here.
I think we're in danger of nominating for different things here.
Anthem...If we're seraching for this. Something that will stand the test of time and will always be associated with the club and can be struck up before and during the game then, I don't think we need to look much further than Wild Rover(The longer version)
Entry Music. Now this is a different beast. For this I think we need a short uplifting piece, one that can appeal to all ages and can get you clapping and tapping and generally making some noise for the players when they come out. I see this as something that can change more frequently and, why not poll the players about this one ?
The Impossible Dream - A very thought provoking inspirational piece which set to the great images posted earlier is one which I could play over and over however, it's neither an anthem nor entry music.
So, I think we just need to distinguish what we're really looking for.

It really is a pity we don't have the video screens inside the Keepmoat and some of the brilliant handywork can't been shown before or at halftime. It is very moving and maybe educational to other fans to see what we have been through and what songs like 'The Impossible Dream' might mean to us. ......I wonder if we could get that 'You Tube' Video played on the TV screens at the same time that the song is belted out.:woohoo:

The way I see things thus far, is for the ANTHEM proposals we have:

And for the rousing/player exit tunnel moment we have: (These really need to be on a different forum thread)
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin The Vengabus Is Coming - Vengaboys Because We Can - Moulin Rouge Ride Of The Valkyries - Wagner One Day Like This - Elbow Underdog - Kasabian

Post by: mutleyrover on June 03, 2009, 09:31:03 am
Think we could make a good chant out of the chorus in the \"I'm a Rover\" song by the Dubliners but can't see it working as an anthem.
The Wild Rover would have the fastest take up around the ground as a lot of people know it already. I'm split between that and \"The Impossible Dream\" which lyrics do relate to the club, particularly for the older supporters amongst us.
Is there not a way on here to start off a voting thread with the list filtered out by Scriptman. I'm sure there is as have been very impressed by the new forum so far.

A poll is behind the idea of a thread, but I think we might need to give it a little longer so we've exhausted the nominations.
I can remember years ago the wife and I was in a pub, in the West Country. The local rugby team were celebrating, and the place suddenly erupted into a rendition of the 'Yellow Rose of Texas'....the lyrics being altered to relate to the team. Thinking about, the song is uplifting and the words are so easy to adapt.
For instance, and just off the top of my head:
The red and white of Rovers. The one I'm going to see No one could ever miss them Not half as much as me You can talk about united You can talk about city But the red and white of Rovers Is the only one for me
Someone more creative with a nouse for lyrics will be able to do a far better job than me. It shows, however, how easy the song is to alter.

Im liking that much better Script, more optimistic and upbeat than the dirge of Impossible Dream.
Another one for thoughts on a positive and upbeat note : It's not where you start it's where you finish. This is one of the better versions on YouTube, particularly the tempo of the second ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIXRTQGWZE0
The lyrics could also be slightly adapted, like Yellow Rose:
It's not where we start, it's where we finish It's not how we go, it's how we land A hundred to one shot, we're called a pub team Can out run the favorite, all we need is a dream Our final return will not diminish And we can be the cream of the crop It's not where we start, it's where we finish And we're gonna finish on top

I want to get the anthem thread back on track, and to make a distinction (the best I can) between an anthem style song and the songs some might like to be heard played when the players exit from the tunnel.
I have pieced together the anthem(esque) songs in a single clip, taking snippets from each song and placing them on one youtube video. Most of the songs can be found in their entirety on this thread. The list is by no means exhausted, we still need folk to propose songs. I should imagine the powers that be (Filo, Nathan etc) will decide when members of the site have had enough time to nominate songs. Anyway, I'm doing my bit to help (and push it along)... and trying to make things simple.
SpaceShower, I cannot for the life of me find an audio clip for the song you suggested 'It's not where you start'. If you have one matey, I'll be able to add it on to the video. I don't know how to extract the audio from the youtube vid you posted.

Should Filo, Nathan, or Rob want me to do a youtube video (similar to the one) for when we have all the nominations in...something which forum members can listen to without having to search the thread messages... I'll certainly include the snippet of Centrefold you suggested.

It's Danny Boy for me.
Everyone knows it we all sang it in the school choir. This is a song that's slow enough and loud enough to be the one. Would somebody kindly post a You Tube version of this because it's beyond me I'm afraid.
Good luck!

I always thought denis denis by Blondie could be adapted to make a great donny song. I am sure somebody could write a chorus with donny replacing denis?

Why all the Oirish songs :- Danny Boy, Molly Malone, Wild Rover etc..........? What's happening here, I find it bizarre and would prefer to run with something a tad more local mesen:(

I think Waltzing Mataldia by Rod Stewart, could be a good anthem for us

Wild Rover my first choice as well. But for originality/ oddness what I posted on the Viking site also a goer- The Viking song/I wanna be a Viking by Banjofish. Not sure if I've linked right on this site.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySiE34Stt3E [video type=youtube][/video]

At some point, probably in July, we have to whittle down the nominations to about half a dozen, to run the poll.

Hmmm I can see what you mean if you supplement Danny with Donny.

Sorry....I still think this has all the 'must haves' for a Rovers anthem. Castles (we play at the Keepmoat FFS), beer, battling and a right old rousing chorus which can be a football chant.... It's just needs renaming \"The goals of O'Driscoll's men\"
In fact - the \"Hoorah hoorah hoorah hey...over the hills with the goals of O'Discoll's men\" snippet could be played when we score. Much more fun that the Tom Hark snippet that's so lame, and done to death by other clubs. THIS IS ORIGINAL!!!!! No other club has it.
Anyway.... who's to say we can't have more than one anthem? Let's have yers! ;)

Brilliant to hear this song again and it gets my vote.

The poll facility on this site can have up to twelve options. I have tried to distinguish the Anthem genre of song to the songs some would like to hear when the players run out onto the pitch.
In relation to the thread 'ANTHEM Poll Nominations' I have whittled it down to 12 songs for consideration with regards to entering the poll.
These are:
The Impossible Dream - Andy Williams Love’s Good To Me (I Have Been A Rover) - Frank Sinatra Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life - Monty Python Molly Malone - Dubliners Irish Rover - Dubliners Wild Rover - Pogues / Dubliners Is This The Way To Amarillo - Tony Christie Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs Centrefold - J Geils Band Design For Life - Manic Street Preachers Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond It's Not Where You Start, It's Where You Finish
To hear the songs without traipsing back through the tread, click on this link:
It will take you to an audio storage site where you will be able to access (hear) the songs by clicking on the small play sign next to the empty check box.
