Which song should ICT run out to?  I thought that "Layla" worked quite well at the Dundee United game but what does everyone else think and what are your suggestions?

Lyrics

Caledonia by frankie miller

The title says it all B-)

Thunderstruck by ACDC

I was going to suggest that too and 100% concur! The intro to the song is absolutely ideal and something fans can easily chant along to in a menacing style. You don't even have to like AC/DC to see that this song would be great.  A lot of sports teams in the US come out to this.

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you

That I think about you all the time

Caledonia you're calling me

And now I'm going home

If I should become a stranger

You know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

Caledonia by frankie miller

The title says it all B-)

Caledonia is by Dougie Maclean who does a much better version of it than Frankie Miller  :003:

Naaaah.....

Ok... Dougie McLean wrote the song - but it didn't do very much until Frankie Miller got a hold of it and turned it into one of the best examples of Scottish Soul you are ever likely to come across....

Incredible performance by an incredible performer....  :clapping03: :clapping03:

I don't think we need go hunting for anything specific...when the right tune comes along we'll all just know it's meant to be.

In the meantime though a bit of creativity wouldn't go amiss.

Oh, but let me tell you that I love you

That I think about you all the time

Caledonia you're calling me

And now I'm going home

If I should become a stranger

You know that it would make me more than sad

Caledonia's been everything

I've ever had

Its a cracker , i like Frankie Millers version , now who's gonna print out at least 4,000 copys of the words so we can all sing it ?

Agree with Caledonia by Frankie Miller :021: :021: :021:

How about the theme from LOST[ :023: :023: :023: :023:

Anybody remember the ad (Tennents?) with the guy in London who chucks his briefcase in the bin and comes back to Scotland? All to the strains of Frankie Miller and 'Caledonia'.

the song "things can only get better" i feel thats the correct song for our current situation

Caledonia is the best suggested so far but how about getting our mate Elton John to it for us,

Frankie Miller aka Grassa Bennett

.... or maybe not

I don't know if it should be played when the players run onto the pitch but certainly at some point before every game to see if it sticks.. we need some sort of anthem and this fits the bill perfectly

If the board were very clever they would get someone from the area to re-record it and sell the single in the shop.. 

The laughing policeman

I know a fat old policeman

He's always on our street

A fat and jolly red-faced man

He really is a treat

He's too kind for a policeman

He's never known to frown

And everybody says

He is the happiest man in town!

He laughs upon point duty

He laughs upon his beat

He laughs at everybody

When he's walking in the street

He never can stop laughing

He says he's never tried

But once he did arrest a man

And laughed until he cried!

His jolly face is wrinkled

And then he shut his eyes

He opened his great big mouth

It was a wonderous size!

He said: "I must arrest you!"

He didn't know what for

And then he started laughing

Until he cracked his jaw!

So if you chance to meet him

While walking 'round the town

Shake him by his fat ol' hand

And give him half a crown

His eyes will beam and sparkle

He'll gurgle with delight

And then you'll start him laughing

With all his blessed might!

that should cheer us up on a cold winters afternoon :003:

Just to set the record straight. Dougie MacLean wrote and performed the song. An advertising company decided to use it and, contrary to the permissions allowed, chose to revamp it and use Frankie Millar to sing it. The resultant court battle was, I believe, eventually settled out of court. For me the only way the song should be sung is the way the writer wanted it.

Good to see the Hampden crowd responding so vociferously to Frankie Miller's Caledonia....

I don't think there would have been much response to the Dougie McLean insipid dirge like version....
