Boundary Road (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzYDgkpzXeA):

I forwarded this to Morbs in the hopes he could find time to get it on the Southsiders home page..... a lot of stuff under the "chants" link is really out of date. I proposed he put this in front of the old stufff...


**************************************

Singing and chanting is as much a part of proper football culture as scarves, meat pies and overpriced beer. But let’s face it, North American fans don't have decades of tradition and club history to draw upon like supporters in other parts of the world do.


In the Southside we try to keep the chants and songs short and simple. That way, when one guy finishes yelling out something new, it's really easy for the rest of us to catch on to the words and the tune. Some of the wittiest material we've ever shouted out came about by putting match-relevant words alongside well known songs and children's rhymes.


A great example: A few years back, Portland goalkeeper Shaun Saunders was arrested for allegedly driving drunk at high speed through a construction zone. When he next appeared in Vancouver, he was greeted with a Southside chorus set to the tune of AC/DC's "T.N.T." :


D -  U  - I    Oi! Oi! Oi!

D -  U  - I    Oi! Oi! Oi!

 

After jingling our car keys at him for a few minutes, we taunted him with a chant set to the tune of "Roadhouse Blues" by the Doors:

 

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon your beer!

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon your beer!

 

Simplicity and repetition is the best way to share your new ideas with the fans at Swangard. This is especially important in the Southside, because it's a very large area with no overhead cover to carry the sound of your voice.


The Southsiders have been active since 1999, so while our traditions pale in comparison to clubs outside North America, we pride ourselves as being one of the first supporters groups on the continent in modern times to sing and chant at our matches.


As such, we do have a few anthems and old standards that are essential to what could be viewed as "Southsiders culture." You'll probably hear these a few times each match, so if you're new to the section, you'll soon catch on after a few visits.

 

 

BOUNDARY ROAD is perhaps the most important one of them all. You'll usually hear this one just before kickoff, and a few times each half. It's set to the tune of John Denver's "Country Roads."

 

Boundary Road, take me home

To the place, where I belong

Vancouver, pretty mama

Take me home, Boundary Road

(Repeat)

 

 

WE FOLLOW VANCOUVER is another one of our classics… it's set to the tune of "Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1" which is the song played during virtually every high school graduation ceremony in North America and abroad.

 

We follow Vancouver

All over BC (and Burnaby!)

We Follow Vancouver

On to victory (all together now!)

(Repeat)

 

 

WE'RE BLUE, WE'RE WHITE is the unofficial motto of the Vancouver Southsiders, and it will be featured on the new supporters scarves that will be available for sale during the 2009 season. Note that most Southsiders will actually use the F-word as opposed to " effin' " but it's entirely up to you. "Whitecaps" has also been used as a clean substitute.

 

We're blue! We're white!

We're effin' dynamite!

Vancouver!  Vancouver!

(Repeat x 2)

 

 

CAN YOU HEAR… is lots of fun, especially when visiting supporters are in attendance. It's a call  & repsosne chant where one person starts off, and the crowd answers. The visiting city or team name is interchangeable, but it always works best with three syllables… i.e. "Seattle" or "The Timbers."

 

Can you hear Seattle sing?

No-oo! No-oo!

Can you hear Seattle sing?

No-oo! No-oo!

Can you hear Seattle sing?

I can't hear a f---ing thing!

 

 

HEY JUDE '86 can be sung any time during a match, especially after we've scored. In recent seasons we've been trying to ensure we all do this one right at the 86th minute as a tribute to our club's roots as the Vancouver 86ers.  The tune (obviously) is the final outgoing chorus from "Hey Jude."

 

Naaaa na na na-na-na-naaaaa!

Na-na-na-naaaaa!

Eight Six!

(Repeat infinitely)

 

 

THE ST. PAULI CHANT is something we’ve been trying this past season, and it's quickly become a crowd favourite. When we saw a video clip of St. Pauli's supporters doing this one in Germany, we set out to bring that same level of excitement to Swangard.

 

We love you! We love you! We love you!

And where you go we follow! We follow! We follow!

'Cause we support the Whitecaps! The Whitecaps! The Whitecaps!

And that's the way we like it! We like it! We like it!

(with intense clapping:)

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa!

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa!

(Repeat x 3)

 

 

YOU TAKE THE LONG LINE is a silly beer drinking song, inspired by the ridiculous Southside beer lineups. It's sung to the tune of the old Scottish traditional "Loch Lomond," which many will know as "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road…" etc. It's another new one introduced last season:

 

You take the long line

And I'll take the short line

And I'll have my beer before ya!

For beer is my true love

And cheering on the Caps

From the bonny, bonny grass

Of the Southside!

(Repeat x 1 at a faster pace with clapping)

 

 

DAVID STADNYK is an insulting song set to the tune of  "Rule Britannia." Stadnyk is the former Whitecaps owner who abandoned the club in 2002. The name of any opposing player or coach can also be substituted.

 

David Stadnyk!

Stadnyk kiss my ass!

We wish you never set foot

On Swangard's grass!

(Repeat x 1)

 FUCK ALL

I thought of this one after watching Top Gun ().  You would sing it after a goal, but any time the Caps are in the lead is fine. I will use one - nil as the example.  Sung to the tune of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" by the Righteous Brothers.

You've got that losin' feelin'
Whoa that losin' feelin
You've got THAT losin' feelin'
Now you're down one - nil
Whoaoaoa

One - nil, One - nil, One - nil, One - nil,
One - nil, One - nil, One - nil, One - nil,

We have to do this one.  It's so easy since we should all know the words.  We don't have to move side to side if we can't.  IF we go arm in arm that's cool and bounce , or just bouncing in unison is fine.  As posted in the other thread:

 AGREED TB!!! lol

After we score our second or third:

And here's to you, Svend Robinson!
Can't believe we scored again!
Whoa-oa. Whoa-oa-oa-oa!
Repeat x 2

I need to hear this one TB.  Even if we don't say "You fat bastard" (which I agree, haven't seen a fat one at all) we can say so much.  There are so many goal kicks in a season.

You fuckin' wanker.
You dirty wanker.
You sockcucker.
You fothermucker.
You suck ass.
You're an ugly man.
You drink pee.
Your wife tastes good.
etc.

We should try to get hold of Taka's fan club

 What about:
