eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Heres some Swedish hockey chants. European sports fans are better than North American sports fans. I guess we just lack the passion. *edit* Ill never forget BBC news showing a badminton game and the European fans were singing/chanting. Those videos remind me of one thing.... Yost Ice Arena.

Why just last game, they dared to infer that our netminder was not up to par. Why can't they be more like us stuffy Wings fans, sitting on our hands all in an effort to be classy."

Canadian_Yzerman_Fan 7 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Some chants I would love to hear. When Nashville takes a penalty (to the chimes of big ben) "Same old Nashville, Always cheating!" When the Red Wings score a goal (to the tune of DJ Otzi - Hey Baby) Hey hey baby (hu ha) We want to say, the Red Wings scored a goal. Anytime during the game "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Redwings! Redwings! Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole Redwings! Redwings!" Anytime during the game sung to the tune of (Dario G - Carnival De Paris) Oh-oh, Oh-oh Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Detroit (or Red Wings) (sung to tune of Fat Les - Vindaloo) Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah We're Detroit We're gonna score one more than you DE-TROIT! (sung to the tune of the great escape theme) der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der DETROIT! der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der der DETROIT! We'll never die, we’ll never die, We'll never die, we’ll never die, We'll keep the red flag flying high, Because Detroit Red Wings we'll never die! (Sung to the tune of When The Saints Go Marching) Oh when the Wings, Oh when the Wings, Oh when the Wings go skating in Oh I want to be on that ice Oh when the Wings go skating in Redwings clap clap Redwings clap clap, Redwings! We love u Red Wings, we do! We love u Red Wings, we do! We love u Red Wings, we do! OOOOhhhhhhh Red Wings, we love u! oooh ahh, you wish you were a Red Wing! oooh ahh, you wish you were a Red Wing! oooh ahh, you wish you were a Red Wing! When Jordin Tootoo skates away from Aaron Downey (To the tune of Sweet - fox on the run) Fox on the run You screamed and everybody comes a-running Take a run and hide yourself away Fox on the run F-foxy, foxy on the run and hideaway. When the PA announcer says "one minute remaining in the period." Fans yell out "Thank You!" When the Detroit Red Wings are winning by two goals and they are passing too each other the fans yell "Ole!" to each pass and when a Nashville Player touches the puck the fans "boo" When the Detroit Red Wings are blowing out the score (4 or more - 0 or 1) fans sing the song "Twist and Shout" Wow... now we just have to get all wings fans to memorize that, haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallelujahlogic 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I just have to point out that the Ole chant far outdates the Bouncing Souls. And what's the big deal about class? If a goalie is sucking, tell him he sucks. I don't mind it once in a while. If the fans did it all game, every game though, then I might have a problem with it. i didn't know that! haha..i feel so naive! i did some research and it's not even CALLED ole. it's called "anderlecht champion"! and here's a thread about it on hfboards.com: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=237289 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mooker 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 When I first heard the ...you suck chants yesterday I thought of it as the fans at JLA making fun of the Nashville fans. It struck me as being pretty funny. Then again, to a casual fan watching on NBC it might just make the Det fans look classless. I was telling a friend of mine that I thought they should play that stupid "i like it, i love it, i want some more of it..." song at least once when a Detroit goal was scored as an f-you to Nashville. Man it irritates the piss out of me when Nashville scores at home and they play that. Being in WI, I've always been a big fan of the crowd responding to the announcer saying "both teams at full strength" with "that's debatable" at Badger hockey games. The "high school goalie" chant at the visiting goalie is pretty good as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IceMunkee 15 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Kay Bro-heim. But don't refer to Bettman as Classy, he is a rat. Classy and a fan, and being loud are not mutually exclusive. Rowdy, sure that somethign to want to emulate. I suppose you would like an anouncer who yells ON DA POWER-PLAY!!! as well? That seems to be rowdy, get all the expansion team fans to chant like mindless drones. You most likely also think that any fight is a good fight, even if the player does it without honor, without sticking to the code. I personally like when the guy beats the crap out of the other person without being a total dick. Bottom line, it makes you look like a hockey idiot to chant you suck to a goaltender that is keeping a team in the serries just because he allowed a goal. And if you think that it unnerves the goaltender and actually has an effect on his play, then you might agree that it could embolden the player and he could turn his game around and shut the team down. I know the people who are like this, as a season ticket holder I had four seats in front of mine they sold together on a game to game basis. Every game it is the same type of four people. They show up very late in the first period. They act beligerent and chant stupid things paying no attention to the game. They leave early in the first to get more booze, and they come back for maybe the middle part of the second and leave. Meanwhile real hockey fans, the same faces in the same seats during every game sit and watch the damn game. That is hockey, people intrested in showing up to see the game. They cheer and celebrate, and when the team needs a kick in the pants they chant let's go red wings. When there is a bad call they get on the refs. When there is someone who has earned their ire with constant poor sportsmenship they let them have it. They don't act foolish, they don't live to listen to whatever song they play or gimmick given between the whistles, they don't stand up and block peoples views to get their face on TV, they don't talk on cell phones, they don't upset other fans around them, and they don't give up on their team. They show up every game and they live hockey and pay alot of money to watch the best sport in the world and pay no mind to chicken dances or what have you. They erupt in anger at a bad call screaming from 24 rows back "THAT'S A HORRIBLE CALL". They say WAKE UP after a bad start, they really get into the LGW's chant when the team needs it. Otherwise they sit around in relative comfort taking in a grand experience. You know like these folks have since the fifties when some of them started coming. You want to tell me these fans are bad fans, you want to tell me they are wrong and you are right. Whatever, I have been to JLA in every situation you can imagine. When they couldn't get anyone to come and gave away a car every game in hopes to draw a crowd. I have been there for Cup clinching goals. I have been there on the 30th central division game of the year, and I have been there for the last two games. I tell you what, our fans are plenty loud and plenty into it when they need to be. The constant I see are those who are truely loyal. The way they act is the way fans acted for Howe to Yzerman. You want to change that, I suggest you just go become a fan of any team that has a mascot or cheerleaders. I know what hockey is, it is class. This isn't college, this isn't a rodeo, this is hockey. Chuck Norris is a bad actor, not hockey... Did you just call me a brother of a ham? Bettman is classy, he dresses nice and speaks well. He wants to take all the physicality out of the game. Everytime you call someone a name makes me question the fact that continuely argue this class stuff. First and foremost do not assume I am any type of fan because I disagree with your class, silly. If I drink a beer at a game or paint my face or try to sneak down to take a leak so I don't have to wait the entire intermission to do so. I understand your underpants are very tight and that cause you to be stuffy and have a jesus complex. Real hockey fans, it is fans like you that are ruining the sport for new fans. Average fans. You would be happier that the Joe is empty then get some average fans into the game. Lets just hope these not real hockey fans keep buying tickets so that the "Hockeytown" can look like hockeytow. I am sorry dude but your views are jaded but that is your view so I will respect your thoughts. Seriously, I think my tickets are very close to yours. Yes, cause I too am a season ticket holder. I drink beer, I yell and scream. I assure you that you know no more about hockey then I do. Possibly less, but keep thinking your better then everyone else. I have never been to college so I am not a frat boy. I will tell you what, game 5 I will be there. I will even wear face paint so you can identify me out of the crowd. I am a pretty big guy if you see me come tell me to shut up because I am classless. Appearantly this "real fan" stuff you speak if is a bunch of uptight Nancies. I guess I will just chose to have fun and be a fake fan. Damn my tool box is missing it is screwdriver, I wonder where the tool went? For the record, your right Chuck is a horrible actor but he is a tough SOB and could beat the crap out of you. Hockey is tough, Hockey does not star in movies. Good god, when did this fan base become such a bunch of tea-sipping nancy's? "I dare say, Nigel; can you believe the audacity of those uncouth Nashville fans?" [sips tea, picks up a crumpet] "Quite right you are, old chap. Why just last game, they dared to infer that our netminder was not up to par.

pavyaz19 1 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 I know for a fact I started a thread about this before, but it still bugs me. At the game today I hear my most hated chant ever. Drunken fools chanting Ellis Ellis, YOU SUCK! I hate this chant so much as it isn't creative and its kinda low brow junk. Classless fans like Trashville do this, we shouldn't. More Let's go Red Wings when we need offense and defense for sure. How about after goals we join many teams such as the Canadian teams and Boston by chanting the very awesome Olay chant. It is a great song by the Bouncing Souls and pumps me up. Next game let's chant that eh! Any other classy chants? please leave that chant to soccer, where it belongs.

Hocketownwest 11 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 Organized chants like those would be great. Unfortunately it seems at least in America you never get a full dedicated hockey fan base in the stands. This is why crowd participation as you see in Europe probably never happen here as many of the seats are season ticket holders, either corporate or people that buy them just for something to do once in awhile. Then there are the dealers scalpers who have season tickets who sell to the guy with lots of money to waste who is looking for something to do one night. Its no big secret why there are always empty seats at the Joe. Last game I went to there were 4 guys sitting behind me, came in late, talked the whole game which they didn't watch and left half way throught the 3rd. Its especially bad in Grand Rapids when a playoff crowd of 3000 can sound louder than 10000 fair weather fans during the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaKineMaui 8 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 i LOVE ole! i've seen the bouncing souls live a few times, and i have to believe that if the chant is cool when you do it w/like 2000 people at a small concert, it would have to be 10 times better to do w/a crowd of 20,000. though, at the same time, it's kinda like the habs thing, isn't it? we should come up w/something more original. though right now i am strapped for ideas, because i have 'ole' stuck in my head and can't seem to think of anything else! i mean...this looks like so much fun: Mahalo for sharing the video. Now I know what 'chant' we're talking about. I just threw my headphones into the wall and left a pretty good dent. Oh well. I've got some mud and I was gonna paint anyway.

Booster313 138 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) I was one of the people at the Joe Chanting. I chanted "Lets Go Red Wings" I chanted "Bulls***" I chanted "Ellis" and I chanted "Ellis, you suck". I cheered loudly for every goal and hit, I high fived those around me. The Joe Louis Arena was LOUD. I was proud to be there with all the fellow fans and to share in the victory, and I can tell you that the team absolutly knew they had the fans support and that means something to them. If you don't believe me check some quotes from Hasek, Lidstrom, Chelios, and Babcock earlier in the year when they mentioned the empty seats, quiet fans, and the fact that often their away fans are louder than their home fans. For those who want class I will offer you this. I've been to games in Nashville and Columbus. Their fans are as loud as we were yesterday during the regular season. They cheer on their team even when they're down a goal or two, they jeer the visiting team and fans. I applaud them! Hockey is not a gentlemens sport. (Have you seen Slapshot????) It's not golf, it's not polo. I wear a suit to work every single day, and drive a lincoln but when I am at the game I am there to make sure the team knows I am behind them. Face it, the view is better from our HD television's with X-Mo replay. We go for the atmosphere. I will offer one final logical reason why the "___ You Suck!" chant is a good one. When you are heckling the goalie and meerly droaning on with "Ellis, Ellis, Ellis, Ellis" No one knows when to stop and it's not very organized, the 3 times and a you suck seems like the perfect length for a chant. Nice and neat. Edited April 13, 2008 by Booster313 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 The whole idea is to get in the head of whoever you're cheering for/against. Yesterday, the Habs fans were yelling "Thomas, Thomas, Thomas", and the results of the game were Montreal on top so it worked. No different then our 2-0 series advantage with us yelling "Ellis, Ellis, YOU SUCK"... If it does or doesn't work, we still seem to lead the series and fans seem to thing it works, so why try to fix what isn't broken, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swede40 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 The ___ Sucks chants are typically done by the fan bases of loser teams. There are exceptions, but it usually reflects a general bitterness and lack of anything to cheer about their own team. They amuse themselves with it, kind of like Beavis and Butthead. "You said hard. Heh heh heh." I've heard it in Nashville....so you are correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Good god, when did this fan base become such a bunch of tea-sipping nancy's?

Why just last game, they dared to infer that our netminder was not up to par. Why can't they be more like us stuffy Wings fans, sitting on our hands all in an effort to be classy." LOL! I definitly agree. This class thing is such a bunch of bulls***. In hockey, classy spells boring and lame in my book. It also spells weak, which is what the OP of this thread is. I could care less if I'm not considered "classy". When I go to hockey games, I get all over the opposing players. Some people here seem to forget that when the "____ YOU SUCK!" chants are done, it can throw the opposing teams players off their game. I mean, the Wings 4th goal yesterday came during on of the "Ellllllllllis YOU SUCK!" chants, so it could have played a part. Stop being a bunch of pansies, and trying to take all the fun out of going to a hockey game. This isn't a golf match; it shouldn't be quiet. I want the Joe to be a loud, intimidating building, not a small crowd of stuffed shirts watching a chess match. I could care less if I'm considered classless; it's fun to do that stuff, and if I go to a playoff game this year (I'm trying to get tickets), I'm going to be as loud and rowdy as I want. Again: I could care less if these chants are considered "classy"; their fun, and if I'm spending the money on tickets to go, I should be having fun, shouldn't I? It's the way hockey should be, so leave it alone and shut up. I loved the atmosphere at the Joe yesterday, and hopefully, that carries over through the rest of the playoffs. I hope nobody actually listens to the OP in this thread. Don't be a stuffy loser like him; go to the games, be loud, chant whatever you want, and have fun. That's what hockey is all about.
