[Albion] Tariq Lamptey song

[Gonzo BHA]

We need a proper song for Tariq. What do you think of this little number? (to the tune of jus can;t get enough/Craig Mackail Smith)

When I see you Tariq
I go out my head
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

Taking on defenders
And leaving them for dead
I just can't get enough
I just can't get enough

With every game we fall more in love
And I just can't seem to get enough of you
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
TA-RIQ-LAMP-TEY

Repeat.

Quite simple but easy to pick up and a familiar tune.

 

[schmunk]

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
This is who I wanna see
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
(Going on a run)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
One on one, Tariq Lamptey
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
Don't give him any room
Or he'll just sprint right past you
and leave you in his dust, yeah!
Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!
I hear a sonic boom
It's little Tariq Lamptey
He'll put a cross in soon...

I did enjoy 'He left 'cos you're shit...'

 

[haardman]

Oh Tariq, Oh Tariq Lamptey run down the wing for me,
Dada dada da, dada dada da

Heartbeat Tune (repeat ad nauseum)

 

[Happy Exile]

I don't want to go to Croyyyyydon
I don't want to follow Palace
I'd rather hang around
Brighton's Amex football ground
Watching all the moves of Tariiiiq Lamptey
I don't want a Benteke or a Zaha
He's a diving cheating scumbag anyway (anywaaaaaaaaaay)
I'd rather stay in Brighton
In sunny sunny Brighton
Watching Brighton's Tariq Lamptey playyyyy (cor blimey)

 

[Anchorman]

The Clash - Rock the Casbah

Defenders they don’t like him!
Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey

Defenders they don’t like him!
Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey

These posts always get ignored, but I’ve sung this to myself and it works! Simple to learn, the song is sung like an anthemic chant in itself already. Nobody else uses it, I can just hear it belting out every time he skins his man.

Have I passed the audition?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Oh Tariq, Oh Tariq Lamptey run down the wing for me,
Dada dada da, dada dada da

Heartbeat Tune (repeat ad nauseum)

This is what has been sung a fair few times before

 

[Hamilton]

I don't want to go to Croyyyyydon
I don't want to follow Palace
I'd rather hang around
Brighton's Amex football ground
Watching all the moves of Tariiiiq Lamptey
I don't want a Benteke or a Zaha
He's a diving cheating scumbag anyway (anywaaaaaaaaaay)
I'd rather stay in Brighton
In sunny sunny Brighton
Watching Brighton's Tariq Lamptey playyyyy (cor blimey)

Can't we just sing the original? Hilarious.

I actually find this suggestion rather endearing.

The Clash - Rock the Casbah

Defenders they don’t like him!
Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey

Defenders they don’t like him!
Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey

You need some sort of 'ooh, uh' between the two lines.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The golden rule of football chants: take a tune sung before (preferably by another club, ideally Palace) and change the words.

Never ever try anything new, unless you're ManUre, and the original tune was by Joy Division.

Otherwise, nothing from later than 1965, and nothing original.

And people wonder why football supporters are not at the vanguard of invention?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

In view of the above:

Tariq, Tariq, Tariq
Also known as
Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey
That's the way we like it, like it, like it
And, if not, then lump it, lump it, lump it
oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh,

(rinse and repeat)

 

[dadams2k11]

In view of the above:

Tariq, Tariq, Tariq
The one and only
Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey
That's the way we like it, like it, like it
And hes very exciting, exciting, exciting
oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh,

(rinse and repeat)

My take..

I like the idea tho.

 

[Gonzo BHA]

Could you imagine the whole of the Amex singing it though, a bit like this.

Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey Lampteeeeey
He’s quicker than my Dad’s old transit van

Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey Lampteeeeey
He’s quicker than my Dad’s old transit van

He gets the ball runs down the wing
And to a man the Brighton sing he’s our superstar Tariq Lamptey

He gets the ball runs past them all makes Wilfrid Zaha look a fool and Messi wishes he was Tariq Lamptey

Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey Lampteeeeey
He’s quicker than my Dad’s old transit van

Lamptey, Lamptey, Lamptey, Lampteeeeey
He’s quicker than my Dad’s old transit van

I see your point Harry as it reads, but in my mind where the song goes

Shrarrif he don’t like I - it,
Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah,

I’m hearing

Defenders they don’t like hee - im
Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey

The song is sung in the manner of a football chant and lends itself to this. Let’s be the crowd that gets the Clash into our repertoire!!!

You’ve passed the audition for someone of my years who recognises the tune and doesn’t want complexity - nice and simple, 9 words, repeat!

I know where you're coming from, but I'm not sure it scans. And pauses don't work in chants.

Let me suggest another.

He's in love with Brighton Woah
He's in love with Brighton Woah
He's in love with Brighton Woah
Lamptey don't like Palace, No

That is entirely sufficient. If you want to venture further....off you go.

And he knows what he's got to do
And he knows he's gonna have fun with you
(****ing Palace)
And he knows when his job is done he's had he's fun, he'll say '**** off' to you

rinse and repeat.

(to the tune of Janie Jones)

 

[Milano]

Maybe tweak the Lua Lua song a bit?

 

[Superphil]

I did enjoy 'He left 'cos you're shit...'

Until they retort with, ‘he left cause he’s shit, he left cause he’s shi-it’
