[Albion] Carlos Baleba song (or lack of)

[JonnyComeEarly]

How on earth has our most exciting player not got a great song??

Surely from the day we signed him the "I'm a believer" song was ready made for our song maestros to conjure up something special for this talent we have?

Please can we get something going for him....!

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, he needs a song.
I’m shite at making them up so can someone else?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Then I his pace,
Now I'm a Baleba,

 

[B-right-on]

My effort:

And then I saw his pace
Calos Baleba
And not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in awe
Carlos Baleba
He can beat them every time

Absolute tap in ‘I’m a believer’ then someone on here said it’s pronounced Belayba!
Who cares, would be a great song to get going.

 

[Silverhatch]

And then we saw his face
Carlos Baleba
Whistling Grace
No doubt in our minds
We’re in love oooooh
Carlos Baleba
He always beats yer when he tries

 

[Wozza]

We're gonna win the league
We're gonna win the league
Cos we got Carlos Beleba...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

We're gonna win the league
We're gonna win the league
Cos we got Carlos Beleba...

Oh we've got Carlos Baleba
We've got Carlos Baleba
We've got Carlos Balebaaaaa
We're going to Europe again

We're going to Europe again
We're going to Europe again
Cos we've got Carlos Baleba
We've got Carlos Baleba
We've got Carlos Balebaaaaa
We're going to Europe again

 

[Tarpon]

Then I saw him play
Oh, Carlos Baleba
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
Oh, Carlos Baleba
You couldn't be/beat him if you tried.

(of course you could use 'Then I saw his pace' & 'You couldn't catch him if you tried' but his game is about so much more than that...)

Let’s be honest, the quality of songs we have for players has been dogshit for a while now.

90% of the new ones are just the players name said over and over again to the same handful of tunes.

Sadly it's a feature of the modern ( younger breed) of fan who traditionally would be constructing chants/songs.... ie. zero imagination.

 

[worthingseagull]

To avoid the Belayba / Baleeba pronunciation query

Carlos again ole ole
Carlos again ole ole
Carlos again, Carlos again
Carlos again ole ole

everytime he wins the ball & goes on one of his penetrating runs

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Adapt the Bissouma/Mitoma/Tequila song to suit – job done.

Sustainability/recycling at its best

 

[Insel affe]

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Then we saw his face, now I'm a Beleba
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a Beleba, I couldn't leave him if I tried

everyone knows it, (well the oldies do) little confusion

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I don’t think it’s a lack of imagination.

It’s more of a fear of someone starting a new song and people not joining in. Especially when the words aren’t easy to follow.

I’m a believer should be a given for Baleba, but there’s so many potential variations of the lyrics and it’s a tune that I imagine has never been sung at a football match before. You’d need someone very loud or a group of people coordinated to get it travelling.

I honestly believe the best thing the club could do to help with getting these player songs going is by playing the original versions of the song on speakers in the concourse of the North Stand pre/post match until it feeds it’s way into the in-match singing. I’m sure it wouldn’t take long.

Der Der Der Der, Carlos Baleba

(To 'Monster')
Who's that showing all of the skill?
Carlos Belaba
Carlos Belaba

or

Who's that man from Cameroon?
Who's that man we all adore?
Baleba is his name
And he bosses every game
And we don't mention Moises anymore

 

[pigmanovich]

Hey Carlos, you're so fine
Your first touch is so sublime
Hey Carlos, hey hey Carlos

Really like the use of Monster

How about

Who's that now winning the ball
Carlos Baleba, Carlos Baleeeba
Who's that now scoring a goal
Carlos Baleba, Carlos Baleeeba
