A song for Erling...

[ejdmcfc]

This is the best one I and numerous others have come across. Be great if this one caught on. Catchy tune and not too long so large numbers can join in and not struggle with the words. Another huge plus is that the same verse is repeatable. Could possibly change the Haaland for Erling? Ticks every box I think.
'Wooooahhhh Erling...

Rate it highly

I agree. We’ve come up with some great chants for previous players and that’s all we can come up with. Surely we can think of something better

Isn’t the point if a chant is for the crowd to acknowledge their love for the player ? And so a fairly basic song that easily catches on and is therefore sung more often is surely better than a longer song that most people don’t know the lyrics or tune to.

The Zaba situation on Saturday perfectly illustrated this - a pretty muted singing of the long he is a fuckin manc song rather than the whole ground joining in with the original easily sung Zaba song

Get the Billy Ocean song on at City Square before the game and get some lads to start singing the words for Haaland It'll soon catch on. Nothing like the pre match buzz to get a song going.

Perfect. Created after 15 pints like all good classics.

Fantastic. Still think it'd flow better with a 'wooooaaaahhh Erling' like the 'wooooaaaahhh Baby' from the original instead of his full name and then go to the next line- especially when it's being repeated continuously like that. Good work.

Premier league are you listening,
To this song we are singing
The best in the land, is Erling Haaland
Scoring goals for fun what he does.

There’s only one Erling Haaland,
One Erling Haaland,
A goal a game, remember his name
We’re living in a Haaland wonderland.

Personally think it will get a bit messy trying to sing the 'Billy Ocean' song. Like the concept though, just needs a bit of tweaking

 

[SJT]

I remember when we were funny

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

This land is my land..... Woody Guthrie

Oh Erland Haaland, oh Erland Haaland
Scores goals in Europe
And all through England
From the Pennine foothills
To the south Wales Valley
Haaland was made for you and me

I know people won't like this (because of its associations with Wolves and Villa), but was thinking that it would be great for when he scores hat tricks — and only then — to have them play ‘Hi ho silver lining’ on the p.a. system at the final whistle, and for the whole stadium to belt out ‘HI HO ERLING HAALAND!!’ at the chorus.
It would give me goose bumps, anyway… him too, probably.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

As for a general song. I've got a terrible admission to make. I've never really picked up all the words for “United run away”. In fact, that's just about all I can sing along to (which I like!). Too complicated a song just won't catch on. So it needs to be kept simple, for the simple folk that we are.

I'm afraid I'd automatically revert to “We're nineteen in front, ya Portuguese ****” — it would be irresistible.

Haha… forgot about that one.

THIS HAS TO BE IT. I REPEAT THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!!!!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Was watching the game yesterday and had the song
"Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen" in my head and thought
Wonderful, wonderful Erling Haaland.....

Unfortunately I don't know the rest of the words (and can't be bothered looking it up either!)

 

[SJT]

THIS HAS TO BE IT. I REPEAT THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!!!!

Yeah - thats better than 99% of stuff on here.

 

[jayfx]

Any but the Yaya, Yaya, Kolo, Kolo song.
That's a classic and should be kept as it is.

Been singing that for years...coaches , aways , boozers, at home etc......easy to learn

 

[mcfcsamm]

Not a fan but at this point i’ll take anything that catches on

Surely it should end with erling haaland city’s number 9.

It’s not bad, but we already use that chant quite a bit
