Revamp our club song

[robsaint]

I know it has probably been suggested in the past but we need to rethink our song and creative minds out there.

We still keep the tune and "oh when the saints go marching in" but we need something that is a little more inspiring.

Need to say something about the spirit of the club, the players and the supporters.
It is not the worst song, the tune is ok but the words are a little lame.

[Enrico_Misso]

Oh when the Saints
Go marching in
Oh when the Saints
Go marching in
How I want to be down at Seaford
When the Saints go marching in.

(repeat 15 times).

[bozza1980]

If it aint broke don't fix it.

exactly 231,679 times......on this forum alone.........give or take one or two....

[St Michele]

How about 'the saints are marching in' ( get rid of the oh when) much more positive

Seriously though I would love to see a more modern version
The saints are coming from U2 and Geen Day could be moved around a bit but I am not sure I would ever stop singing the old one.

[Bernard Shakey]

The Saints have been coming since 1966.

I would rather be there when the Saints go marching in.

[St Michele]

I do too

[robsaint]

just a bit boring that is all.

[SainterK]

just a bit boring that is all.

Milney keeps it interesting with his echo

[cowboy18]

This one works quite well and captures the tooth-gnashing/wrist slashing vibe here after a loss.

"Sainted Love"
(after

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This sainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...sainted love
Sainted love



Or maybe not.

[The Fireman]

I say we do an AC DC type version of it.
Ok you musos out there let's get to it.
Aok. savotage ?

[JeffDunne]

We could just change a few lines in Highway to Hell.

That would probably work for us.

[starsign]

It just needs a verse with appropriate footy related words to follow the 4 basic line chorus , which can be repeated at the end instead of just repeating the same thing over ..if you get my drift

This verse stuck between these 2 choruses doesnt necessarily have to be the same tune.

eg
Oh when the Saints Go marching in
Oh when the Saints go marching in
How I want to be at St Kilda
When....
then for eg lets say to the tune of the popular "We are Australian"...

We are proud, and we are loyal and .....(for all our suffering fans)
...........
.....
...we are united, we are the St Kilda Saints...

Oh when the Saints, go marching in ....


or a verse jammed between to the tune of Up There Cazaly"....

Up there st Kilda, show em your might
Up there for courage, Red Black And White
Up there St Kilda in there and fight
Wee'll give it our best shot, the flags in our sight!

i'm no poet lauriette and someone can come up with more appropriate verse, but I recon " When the Saints" is great it just needs embellishing a tad by simply adding a verse

GOSAINTS!

They already tried the second verse aspect a few years back. Went down like a lead balloon if anyone remembers. About as well known as the second verse of Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands....etc

[R. Harvey 3 votes!]

The best version ever was the one that they used to play at moorbbin when we still played there...it has a lines like:

let's get 'em on the run
we're not our here for fun

and others like:

we'll chase em when they're hot
hit em when there not
and we're loyal to our mates
cause we're the saints

Oh when the saints go marchin in..
Oh when the saints go march.........

and so on

I used to love that version when we were still playing at moorabbin, should bring it back but just change the 'at moorabbin' to 'with st. kilda' and all the rest of the song is fine

[Enrico_Misso]

I thought that verse went more like

We'll hit 'em nice and hard
Make 'em drop their guard.
and we're loyal to our mates
'cause we're the Saints.

But agree - it was a classic version.

Yes bring it back.
Perhaps with an updated verse for the new century.
Perhaps a line about Harvey ?

Hi,

I was just reading this thread and realised i have the above mentioned song. I have since converted it to MP3 format.

Is there any free web space i can upload it to (3.5mb), if anyonce wants a copy?

[Mooksy]

Great call. With the exception of those pesky interstate clubs, I reckon we have the worst song. Easily. Keep the tune...but alter the words.

Man, it's the 2nd verse of the national anthem! I was just being a smartass RE: st nick's comment on how nobody knows the words to the second verse! Sort of proves his point...
