**** The Official "Brighton Magiko" Song - As chosen by fans on NSC ****

[Richard Reynold's Haircut]

Someone handed me a lyric sheet last night and I can't say I am surprised this died on it's arse as it is so complicated

We have a crowd who just about manage 'seagulls' and 'allllllbioooon' and you are expecting them to sing verses whilst clapping as well as coordination with other sections of the crowd singing different parts.

You have about as much chance of getting the east stand to sing the first three verses of rappers delight

Can't fault your enthusiasm and all for you coming up with new chants but would aim for something simpler and easier to pick up as far more likely to take off

What an incredibly accurate post. The only thing I'd change about it: "would aim for something simpler, easier and a bit less RUBBISH to pick up as far more likely to take off"

 

[cunning fergus]

this is called a "capo" ,and i there was a "capo" in the crowd at hull , slowly but surely people started to follow him .

Yeah, but only because they were going to smash his face in.

 

[Richard Hebberd's Syrup]

Name me one song that has been spontaneous

Chanting "Seagulls" was pretty spontaneous in response to Palace's Eagles
"We're f***ing brilliant" at Peterborough last year

That is two that caught on and lasted for starters

But really, is this as in Caporegime? Presumably he reports to the Boss and Consigliere? Genuine question..........is he friend of ours or a friend of yours?

Just a couple of things if we're gonna take this seriously:
If there is a drum (which I don't want) we need someone who knows how to stay at the same tempo...

Also, there are multiple spelling of the word Magico/Magiko on the sheet. This should probably be amended. (How about Magicko?)
Finally, instead of "My B-H-A", how about "Home or Away"? It doesn't sound as silly, and it's still appropriate and fits.

Oh come on Seagulls is a chant not a song, and I'd hardly call the second a song but I'd put money on the fact fact that it did not start instantly on the terraces, more likely during a train journey amoung a group of fans, like the way the old songs started.

Yes, "Home and Away" would work well, good shout. Pantani?

[The Terminator]

[dgh123]

there is a group with a fair few numbers (NSK) which will be trying to get this going tomorrow , i think the song will be sung at away games long before you will hear it at the amex i'm afraid .

 

[dgh123]

Unfortunately that's probably true, was i right in hearing that song sheets may be handed out for it?

"There's no one there" is another one. Started at cold midweek match at Leyton Orient about 15 years ago. I remember it well because it was also my birthday.

 

[Husty]

I like the song, but aboslutely no one seems to have the balls to get it going... I'll be going to watford, if anyone else is genuinely interested in getting this song going, PM me, I reckon with a group of 6 we could get this going easily.

 

[NSK! FUCK THE POPE]

Looking forward to getting this going. We have also just ordered a new banner similar to the DK one which depicts an image of UDA/NSK hero Johnny 'Mad Dog' Adair holding an assault rifle in one hand and an NSK scarf in the other. It is going to look the bollocks!

 

[Withdean11]

This will sound great!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

This is a brilliant read! You absolute idiots!

Not often I agree with a Palace fan

 

[Aquilaugh]

This is a brilliant read! You absolute idiots!

Hilarious isn't it, we all know that all they can sing is Al-bi-yawn, Al-bi-yawn and the arrogant 'we're f**king brilliant' chant, although they haven't sung that much lately.

 

[Dougie]

Just a gentle bump to try to give you inspiration for your new song for the amex campaign .
