I love
coming up with new Crew SC songs, but it’s super hard to figure out ones that truly work.
IMO they need to be:
- dog-simple,
- fun,
- catchy,
- even more simple,
- widely recognizable,
- a cappella-friendly (very important), and
- with as few lyrics as possible.
Bonus round awesomeness would be to include all of Mapfre in the singalong and/or to have a local connection with a tune.
For instance, when it first came out "7 Nation Army" was great b/c it’s only 7
notes and zero lyrics. It has since been co-opted by every "Jock Jams" DJ on the planet. That said, here are some ideas.
Can’t Get Crew Outta
My Head
I just can’t get Crew outta my head
No your goals are all I think about
I just can’t get Crew outta my head
No your goals are all I think about
La la, la la la la, la la (x4)
The tune is super catchy, and I like the idea of Nordecke singing the la la las. Lyrics are easy; folks are already used to singing "...just can't get" when they sing "I Just Can't Get Enough". Side note: I'd watch Kylie Minogue do my taxes.
Kamara, Kamara
Kamara, Kamara,
We love ya, Kamara,
He'll score us a goal today (repeat a bunch)
Like Kei, this has legs. We need an AWESOME song for Kamara, who is a legit MVP candidate and generally is fabulous.
UPDATE: Fixed the last line, thanks to Jerry Legend.

I Hate Myself for
Loving Crew
I hate myself for loving Crew
Can’t break free from the things that they do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving Crew
I thought of this when Alex Stanek went to The Who show and saw
Joan Jett, who is undeniably a bad ass. In hockey, they play certain songs when the home team is scored on. Kinda weird. It makes me not like the song most of the
time, b/c I’m associating it with something poopy. On the other hand, if we sang
this song after the Crew were scored on, it would be 1) original, 2) a re-commitment
of our undying love, 3) a way to quickly get our heads back in the game.
Praise Crew
TUNE: Praise You – Fatboy Slim
We’ve come a long long way together
Through the hard times and the good
I have to celebrate Crew baby
I have to praise Crew like I should (repeat)
I love the message on this one. Thinking that along with some soul claps, this could take flight.
Tchani B. Goode
Go Go.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go. Tchani B. Goode. (repeat)
Very simple, and 'Tchani' is a dead ringer for 'Johnny'. Dishonorable mention: "Who's Tchani?", a take off the El DeBarge song.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go.
Go Tchani go, go. Tchani B. Goode. (repeat)

Crew Ya Think I'm Sexy?
IF u like Mawbati AND u think he’s sexy COME on Mapfre let me KNOW.
IF u really need it JUST reach out & shoot it COME on Cedrick score a GOAL.
Na na na na na... Nana nana nana na, nana nana nana na
Hopefully Cedrick is great and causes us to sing this song often.
