Best Sports Chants

One of my favorites was actually about a former manager Ivan Golac of Dundee United, sung by his own teams fans, to the tune of 'My Old Man's A Dustman'.

Ivan Golac's magic,
He wears a magic hat,
First he got us relegated
Then he got the sack.

Also Newcastle United fans about then rival Sunderland manager, Peter Reid, to the tune of 'Yellow Submarine'.

In the town of Sunderland
Lives a man with a monkey's head.
And his name is Peter Reid,
Peter Reid's got a monkey's head.

Peter Reid's got a fucking monkey's head,
A fucking monkey's head,
A fucking monkey's head.
Peter Reid's got a fucking monkey's head,
A fucking monkey's head,
A fucking monkey's head.

 

Stand up and cheer.....

I always loved this one in high school, but I recognize that it is just wrong on so many levels...
my school's fan, to the losing visitors...

watermelon, watermelon, watermelon rind
look at the scoreboard and see who's behind..
you you you you you you you

 

There's only one chant I absolutely despise, and the minute Buckweaver sees this thread, I'm going to find out where he lives.

 

When I was working for the student paper at UNLV the student section chanted "Old ass whiteboys" at BYU.

Worst I have ever heard was the "P-L-O" chant at Kerr followed by "Crackhead Parents" at Juan Dixon while Maryland was playing at UVA.

 

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I'll throw it out there -- the roll call at Yankee Stadium was always cool. No matter what you think of the Yankees or their fans, they do get some things right.

 

Worth pointing out the in a Geordie accent head is pronounced heed.

 

Rammer-jammer.

Duh.


On a more serious note, "Over-rated. Clap, clap, clap clap clap" is by far my favorite when the underdog wins.

 

I always loved 'You fucked up!' for the ECW fans. I also used to like it when they would chant 'ECW' for a cool move, no matter who did it. The 'Holy Shit' chant also is fun to hear, and a great compliment to the wrestler.

 

When the Boston University hockey team gives up a goal, they're subjected to the "Sucks to B-U!" (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap-clap) chant, which is pretty good. The college hockey tradition of the "Sieve!" chant toward the opposing goalie isn't bad, if only because it keeps the word "sieve" alive in the lexicon.

But the Brits are the best. When Emanuel Petit played for Arsenal, the fans came up with "He's French, he's slick, his name's a porno flick!"

 

Say nothing of multi-team striker Nathan Blake, who got a chant based on an incident in his past.

He's black, he's mean, he's robbed a fruit machine.

 

Rammer Jammer is impressive. One of my favorites.

Though I haven't seen any of them in person, I can't imagine anything beating the Euro soccer chants.
