It's a bit off topic but it's a question that I've asked a couple of people (outside of the forum) and I've has no answer. There was this tune that was played after Robert Miles a good few years ago, I think it was played when Leroy came out TBH. I remember the tune just can't remember the song does anyone know which one I'm on about?

los lobos-la bamba

Stop saying that, we have never run out to la bamba, the mexican song that got pop-murdered by los lobos, we used to run out to A BANDA, by HERP ALBERT AND HIS TIJUANA BRASS.

We did so for about 30 years (albeit with a gap in the middle), until Paul Buckle came in and said we weren't allowed to anymore, we had to play crap pop-dance chart crap to run out to instead to entice more people in. More people who wouldnt know were playing pop-dance chart crap because theyre not in the stadium to hear it.

I hope we can have it back now he's gone.

Ok. So we need music to come out to. Not sure I want music when we score. But if those who are crying out for Muse. Coldplay. Or any of the other type modern group just sit back and think for a minute, What music really does get the crowd going. Does anyone remember some of the great hits of the past. They may not be any of my absolute favourites but they do the job. remember "Eye of the Tiger". "We will Rock you". "We are the Champions" (you don't have to win a trophy to sing that. anyone can say their team is Champion in their eyes.
I am sure you can come up with better if you really try. it's no good thinking of the most hip tune that you adore. I may have no affect at all. and thats the point of it all. Rovers decided to change their song a couple of years ago to Pirates of the Caribean. It was top of all supporters polls. It was all the rage at the time. It was played at the begining of the match and flopped. The atmosphere from the beginning didnt materialise. The tune has now been dropped as someone eventualy realised it did nothing to gee anyone up. I expect a much more in keeping tune next time.
So if you want something to gee the crowd up thats where you need to look. you never know we may even choose something of real culture. Like the final sounds of the 1812 overture. even that would do more than muse. and if anyone has a couple of cannons at least when we play Rovers we could fire a salvo over their heads.
Or come to think of it. Crawley would be fun, we could fire em at Evans. loaded with dumplings!

all over this, maybe walk out music?

Goal Music - suck my **ck.

Half Time - Livin on a prayer. Wooah we're half way there wooahh The ref's having a mare.

After game music either - Happiness Ken Dodd or It's a Shame by the Spinners.

It's called Children, by Robert Miles. Brilliant piece of music. Whenever i hear the piece it reminds me of going to Torquay games when i was younger as this was the music they came out just after i started supporting them, in the late 90's. Love a bit of nostalgia!

Rob miles - children was such a class tune , we youst to have it as the walk out music a few seasons ago, defo gotta be that such a good tune

In memory of AJB who introduced it to Plainmoor.

Bearing in mind the above, I wouldn't be averse to Liquidator by Harry J All Stars . . .

Music after we score is tacky and lacks class. It was encouraged by our last manager funnilly enough. Lets move on and leave it in the past.

Music for the team on entry to the pitch . . . . . . aye

Music for the fans on exit from the ground . . . . . . aye

Music for every home goal scored . . . . . . :no: :no: :no:

Should this thread not be merged with the goal music one ? After all that's the job of the "greenies".

Falling out a with a "greenie" isn't and shouldn't be a problem. A serious problem has happened when "Red Big Neck" sends you a pm.

It's gone terminal when he calls you over for one of these . . . . . :slap:

You are obviously a man of some influence round these parts Troj.

No, I quite deliberately started a new thread entitled Name That Tune so as not to confuse my point about an appropriate club tune with bixie s point about the potential return of the dreaded goal music.

I don t think that they are the same thing.

BTW I was looking for a song that had some meaning/connection to the Yellow Army as opposed to any random anthemic or uplifting song that may or may not be dear to individuals. Otherwise I might have chosen something like I m never going back to my old school by Steely Dan.... =D

Bleddy green giants...

Muse's version of 'Feeling Good' is an awesome choice and should definitely be played at some point on matchdays....perhaps at the end of the game...."Gull's flying high, you know how I feel...."

As for music for when the players come out onto the pitch, how about 'The Battle' from the Gladiator soundtrack? It's a pretty uplifting piece of music.

I agree completely - not bloody goal music again! No thanks, and no music either at the beginning or at the end. Talking of rackets - get rid of that bloody drum too.
But surely this is a job for Gilbert - let's face it, he doesn't do anything else. At the beginning of the afternoon, before the match begins, Gilbert is occasionally visible. But let's have him on when we score! He can jump up and down, fly, kick his legs in the air, and go and annoy the visiting fans. At the end of the game, win or lose, he can make his way to the pop. side and jolly the crowd along. That's what mascots are there for.

Coldplay Yellow - Yes.

Went to this concert at Wembley a few months after Sills scored the winner, massive yellow baloons were cool.
