milners Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Its actually nae that bad being honest - actually some will quite like it and obvious be a few negative comments but better than a few efforts i've heard recently. The guy posted it on pie and bovril site - see link to pie and bovril at the bottom if you want to contact him. http://www.bebo.com/nuera2008 Nu Era - Aberdeen European Song 07-08 Verse 1 (Qualifying) The Dons came crashing back to Europe at the Meteor It’s been five long years but now we’re back for more Mackie’s bullet header took us to Group B And reminded us of that final In 1983 Chorus Back into Europe, back where we belong From the Granite City, Stand Free is our song With Jimmy, Diamond, Smith and Miller to lead the way Manchester doesn’t Seem so far away Verse 2 (Group Stages) Well you can keep your Greek Gods, Takis Fyssas too You might have beat us 3-0 but you weren’t very good Moscow brought the weather to Pittodrie 1-1 the score still awaiting victory We went out to the Madrid to face their second team To play against their superstars it really was a dream The dream turned into a nightmare on and off the park And the table didn’t look good Barely off the mark We had to win when Copenhagen came to town Christiansen and Allback all had smiles turned into frowns Jamie Smith stole the show with his wonder goals You could have drove a Dave Bus Through their defensive holes Chorus -> Solo (Melody) Verse 3 (Munich) We qualified from the Group of Death with Bayern next to play 25 years on and we’re out to repeat history But Alex Ferguson and Willie Miller’s time has come and gone We now have new heroes To cheer on We had no lead or cushion when we left for the Allianz In the first leg our team shocked you, shocked even our own fans The result in Munich came as no surprise The amazement being We got one in reply Verse 4 (Reflection) The European adventure is over after all We played in many countries, five in total We played in eight matches, albeit winning only one But we had fun in the the Marienplatz And the square in Sol Chorus (Altered) (x2) Back into Europe back where we belong From the Granite City, Stand Free is our Song With Jimmy, Diamond, Smith and Miller to lead the way Manchester didn’t Seem so far away ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone has any questions about the song just ask. Meteor = Dnipro Stadium Nightmare on and off the park = beaten 2-0 and cops beat Dons fans up (in Madrid) etc. If anyone has accounts on Ab Mad, AFC Chat and Red Ultras please spread the word and give me feedback. Much appreciated. Stand free! http://www.pieandbovril.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=85990 Quote
Sweetchuck Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Had a listen. Doesn't really do it for me, but maybe that's why I'm not an A&R mannie. It's a bit of a dirge, but it's not really catchy/cheesy enough to get away with being so bland. Still, 10/10 for effort. Quote
milners Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Shite So i take it won't be played on your radio show I actually think its nae bad - its simple, nothing special but a lot better than the efforts i've heard recently. Quote
milners Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 I bet you have played Chas and Dave though - well the last listen had the pet shop boys and some annoying lassie voice singing girls just want to have fun - name escapes me funny enough. Anyway i like that piss take that the listeners have to pick the best tune out of two terrible records. I don't think its a bad effort - think sweetchuck is correct is its not cheesy/catchy to really take off but nice effort. Off topic slightly i presume you have got the new sigur ros album and listened online to it as well. Quote
jmo Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 It's better than I expected to be honest. Not great, but alright. Quote
milners Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Posted June 17, 2008 Funnily enough no I don't have it yet. I may have to rectify that when I get home. I do have the first song though. Of course I have played Chas n Dave. They were up for the vote. I have also played Labi Siffre - I Got The Blues which featured Chas n Dave as session musicians and was later sampled by eminem. Lol - you can listen to the album from Sigur Ros website. I'm just giving it a blast just now - hope its as good as Bon Iver Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted June 17, 2008 Report Posted June 17, 2008 Just heard it, bit too fast to be sung on the terraces or on the buses down the road. Can't knock it though, we should have loads of these tracks for a giggle now and then. 'Red Balloon Soccer Crew' anyone? Quote
