Good songs to make into football chants?

I always see threads started about songs for certain players which people then put in their own variations and composition in. When I'm feeling creative I try to pen something for LFC or one of the players but invariably I don't like what I come up with or it doesn't get finished.

 

However, I am always hearing songs on the radio and on my Ipod which I think would make great football songs and sound awesome on the Kop but I can never turn it from a chart topper into a chant topper.

 

I thought there must be more people out there who have loads of great suggestions for songs which could be converted but they don't have the inclination or ability to change the lyrics over to something acceptable. So I've started this thread for people to share their ideas on which songs would make good chants.

 

The ones that spring to mind immediately are Iggy Pop's 'Passenger' which I've tried to introduce as a song for Reina but no one seemed to like it much. Another I've been working on is for Johnny Cash's Ghost Rider. Which I think would sound great sung by the Kop.

 

I know I've started this thread for people to list the songs they want to suggest. But if people want to put their variants as well then so be it.

 

Here's my take (unfinished) on Ghost Riders...

 

original -

My Lyrics...

 

 

An old scouser went heading out one rainy windy day

Upon a plane he flew as he went to Istanbul

When all at once a mighty crowd of redmen fans he saw

Singing songs of victor-ies… apon the foreign shores

 

Their heads were held up high and they never walked alone

Their dreams of goals and glory and to take the cup back home

A bolt of fear went through them as the half time whistle went

They saw the Milan scoring three …..and the reds had no reply

 

Yippie yi Ohhhhh Liver poo ooool

Those redmen won the cup

 

The first half gone, and three goals down, the kopites start to sing

On fifty four the first to score, and we ain't finished yet

 

(be nice if someone could finish it off... I'm a bit stuck from here.)

 

----

 

So anyone got any other good song which would sound great on the Kop. Original ones preferably.

was thinking the other night it was about time Agger got an iconic sort of chant (think that was the first time I've ever heard him get a chant but it wasn't anything specific to him)

 

I was thinking something like to Brimful of Asha

 

his names Daniel Agger and he's number 5

I know some people will hate me for this, including myself, but it seems to be too obvious to pass up the chance to use “Agadoo” for Agger. I don’t think we should fight it anymore, particularly after hearing the lamentable “There’s only one Daniel Agger” on Sunday. I mean, Jesus wept. Jesus WEPT.

 

So here we are. It’s come to this. And Fowler forgive me:

 

Agger, Dan Dan Dan,

He’s a big Danish red man,

Agger, Dan Dan Dan,

He twats Torres when he can.

On the left, on the right,

Through the middle he’s not shite,

Agger, Dan Dan Dan,

He’s a big Danish red man.

 

(As a side note, “Agadoo” by Black Lace is actually a song about a violent dendrophile and his dreams of sexual intercourse with a posh oven.)

I like it. Good cheerful song. Could tweak lines 4-6 if I'm being bitchin.

 

And Silver's MARTIN SKRTEL to the big ben chime?

To the tune of Santa Lucia

 

"He came from Italy

a knife between his teeth

loves it at LFC

Fabio Borini"

 

"Scored the first time he played

the fans we sang and swayed

filled us with total glee

Fabio Borini"

 

"Arrived from Italy

after time in Swansea

scoring for you and me

Fabio Borini"

 

"Bologna's favourite son

Liverpool's genie

Fabio Borini

Fabio Borini"

to Human League "Don't you want me"

 

Super Lucas Leiva

Super Lucas, oh oh oh oh... etc.

 

Purely for you SL, and Code72 if you're still out there recuperating from that mini breakdown you had recently.

 

I can't remember who, but someone suggested this chorus for Lucas, Lucas, Lucas Leiva

That'd be class.

Thread resurrect alert!!

 

Here some songs which have sprung to mind lately that I think would sound tops sung at Anfield.

 

Woody Guthrie - This Land Is Your Land

Are there any current songs to go to this tune?

 

Simon & Garfunkel - The Boxer

Think the chorus could be epic... lu lu lu, lu lu lu lu lu lu lu, luis suarez (or similar?)

 

Billy Joel - We didn't start the fire

Think we could do a great run down of our history using this song.

I'm working on one for each of the years we won the Euro cup.

"Kevin Keegan, Cilla Black, Red Leader, Terry Mac,.... etc...." (1977)

Not easy though.... help anyone?

 

And lastly this should defo be sung... even as is. Part of our history even without alteration, so maybe we can just sing as it?

 

Chris Rea - I don't know what it is but I love it

 

Anyone like the idea of any of those?
