Let's petition a band to record an anthem for the CanMNT prior to the next Gold Cup

[matty]

I made a comment in another thread about how Weezer have recorded a few tracks of support for the USMNT. The tracks are throwaways but fun none the less (I am a massive Weezer fan). I now have the idea in my head that we, the Voyageurs, should ask a band to record a pump up track if sorts for our guys because A) it would be fun and B ) it couls bring them support that they have always struggled to find. Also there are zero negatives to this (unless we petition Nickleback too).

So I ask who would you like to hear record a CanMNT anthem for the next Gold Cup?

Hmmm, inspired by CONCACAF: The Payolas

Well, The Arkells wrote that fantastic song for the Ti-Cats, so I nominate them.

 

[rob.notenboom]

The Northern Pikes already wrote it. 

Hopes Go Astray.

Tragically Hip, or GTFO.

Also, maybe we should invest our time into something that will actually help our national team. This is not that.

OSEG and the Ottawa Fury have made me very skeptical of anthems. This is what they are trying to push on us:

Well it can't be worse than this noise.

Wow. The first little bit had promise but that is soooo bad. It's staggering to think that a bunch of people sat around, watched that and thought "We nailed it!"

[Ivanovski94]

when you listen to the Impact "anthem" first it makes the fury one sound respectable

[Blackdude]

That was the Videotron anthem and nobody liked it. There was a better one done recently.

Alright so everyone is agreed on Death From Above 1979?

To be fair, trying to use "Ottawa" in a song lyric is pretty hard.

There is only one choice.

Wesley Willis.  Lives in a mental institution, has a keyboard and a mic, signed by Sony.

Nope. Someone gave me a tape of this stuff in the 90's.

Yeah, I didn't know he passed away.   Too bad.   Rock on Chicago!

Funny, I mentioned this many years ago on this forum but didn't get much of a response. I thought alexisonfire would have been perfect because they have many shouting chorus bits in their songs and they are every bit Canadian.

I'm not a fan of Mathew Good but I believe he has some soccer skills. 

The Sheepdogs can write some cool tunes but I'm nots sure it would be right for soccer - too slow.

Arkells could be a great thought as pointed out in this forum.

I actually watched the entire clip. Buddy sounds similar to The Killers. 

[rob.notenboom]

Apparently Sam Roberts is a solid soccer player. 

[smiddy]

I vote for Bryan Adams.

[MtlMario]

I say "My Way" (written by Cdn.Paul Anka) with maybe a few words changed to fit the soccer thyme. One of my favorite songs sang by the King (Elvis). Thank-you, thank-you very much.

[MtlMario]

.......and more,much more than this, we did it our waaaaay.

[shermanator]

I will counter with My Way by Limp Bizkit. The official theme song of Mont Vic.
