That is absolutely, bloody awful!

[northstandfan]

Don't think anyone will be singing this any time soon

[Kingsmills]

Credit for making the effort but that really is excruciatingly bad and the accompanying graphics are almost as bad as the lyric.

 

Thanks but no thanks.

[Govan Jaggie]

Nice to see someone give it a go. What have the 3 others posters come up with? Well done.

[+old caley girl]

Totally agree with GJ. Even if not your cup of tea surely 10 out of 10 for effort due!

[CaleyNairn]

Oh  Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, 

Oh  Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, Caley, 

 

 

Bit to many words for my liking 

 

Great effort, but not my fav

I did credit the effort, just not the result of all that effort.

[caleydawson]

good effort but it was absolutely dire 

[ictrmd]

I think it's quite catchy.

 

Caleeeee, Caleeeee

That'll do (apart from musical break). It would make my ICT songs collection! Get it taped (cd'd, ipodded or whatever the latest fancy device for playing music is) and played on repeat on the buses and trains to a captive audience for 3hrs. Thats 1500 folk :-D

[ForzaCaley]

Its not to bad tbh. The actual words in the verses are class imho!! However the calee calee calee bit is horrific and the backing music is dire.

Get a better recording and change the words to the chorus and tbh might be on to a winner. And like govan jaggie says, fair feckin play for giving it a shot!

[CaleyNairn]

I think it's quite catchy.

 

Caleeeee, Caleeeee

 

I am starting to think the same,

 

We're Caley thistle, Caley Thistle, from inverness

[12th Man]

It grows on you. I would say its better to listen to it a few times over the day then give an opinion.

Good lyrics and a catchy tune. The caley bit may drag on a bit sung at a match though.

For we are caley thistle, Caley Thistle

From Inverness

 

Caley x5

My totally honest opinion as a lover of folk music. I like the tune very much, though maybe the tempo could be upped a little. The lyrics are good as well but the chorus just spoils it. The song needs to be made a little more rousing. I think it needs a bit of a drum or bodhran beat and some base guitar added and the pipes toned down just a little. It also needs a chorus that stands out on its own with lyrics that are simple but stick in the head. Think of some of the classic folk songs. Kishorn Commando's, Northern Lights of Aberdeen, etc. Nobody knows the verses but everyone knows the chorus.

Wynthang15 dont be downheartened by some of the comments. Not everyone is a lover of our traditional music but with a little more work your song could maybe win them over. Its a very good attempt but needs a bit of a tweek.

I like some of the catchiness of it , good drum beat and base as mr macleod mentioned will get the tempo up. Not too sure of the many Calee, s though. Good rousing tune. Not to be knocked as it is a good effort.

[ubern]

Some of the responses to this are really, really harsh. I'm not that keen on the twee backing track and I don't like the 'Caley, Caley Caley..' bit but the other lyrics are great and really catchy I think and when sped up a bit I could easily hear us belting it out.

[RiG]

This is a joke right?

[Alex MacLeod]

This is a joke right?

Come on then. Lets see actions where mouth is. Can you do better?

[RiG]

I'm not saying I can do better.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Oh dear.

[dougiedanger]

For folk's sake.

Looks like we've got a Val Doonican wannabe amongst us
