Impossible Dream
 
well despite the Ultras taking a casualty in the form of losing the vote on 'the sing' to Thin Lizzy, I will still be singing The Impossible Dream.

Oh yeah, article in todays Star: Alex Ferguson has stated the Old Trafford faithfull need an anthem to sing as Liverpools' You'll Never Walk Alone can intimidate opponents, and, to a lesser extent West Ham and Bubble Blowing. He has, out of his own pocket, commissioned some mate of his to record a footbally version of the Andy Williams classic and expects 70 000 Mancs to turning this into their new song.

I for one hope that it goes off really well and becomes a modern day classic that football fans the world over know all the words too. Just so we can say that we were there first and got out voted. ;)

Maybe if the Andy Williams version was in the vote instead of that wimpy Carter effort it would have gathered more votes!
Impossible Dream would be immense for an anthem if only we could get everyone singing it!
There's 10-15 people in the Clayton end who sing in the first half at most, it's a real poor do. Me & my brother started a song in the main stand against Forest and got the strangest looks imaginable! ...like we were singing for the opposition...in swahili.

Yeah sitting at footie matches has killed the atmosphere for years.When I left Old Trafford to go watching F.C.United I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere that could be created in lower league football:) :)

Re: Impossible Dream
 
as most of you know, I will sing a song on my own whether Clayton End, Millenium Stadium or our moaning old main stand if you give me enough lager. Let me at em.

The only reason for this post really is that it is my 1000th and I need a post connected to footy,.

And you know I'll always sing it with you! Balls to Thin feckin' Lizzy!!

Although, if a few people start joining in with Cart on Stanley, I'd have no complaints with that becoming 'our anthem'

Dumbest post ever? Arguably...

Carter USM's version of Impossible Dream is supposed to sound very Karaoke, thats the whole point of it. I love Carter USM's version of it, and I've heard quite a few versions of it.

Also, the point that a lot of people seem to of missed, despite the fact I've pointed it out numerous times, is it's not the song itself, but the meaning thats the reason I wanted it to be played as the team ran out.

maccawozzagod 02-09-2006 14:23
Re: Impossible Dream
 
as well as the fact that the people who voted Thin Lizzy are mostly sitters whilst the majority of the singers voted for Impossible Dream. You sing yours and we'll sing ours. But it would be better if we had a working, loud tannoy behind us. Lets show the prawn sandwich munchers that we had the song first! http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/i...ons/icon14.gif

Personally I prefer the Andy Williams version of Impossible Dream, just has more uumph, the Carter version, to be honest reminds me of Joe Pasquale attempting to sing it :)

If the tannoy man can REALLY turn it up on the Clayton End, we'll get that going, no problem. By really turn it up, I mean full bloody blast, can never hear it behind the goals.

I've no problem with your opinion, don't get me wrong. But what I'm saying, is people are slating it for the god-awful singing, when that is the Bands aim.

It's supposed to be a pub anthem, something you sing when drunk. Just like Hurry Up harry was, by Sham 69.

We'd have a much easier time getting an 'anthem' going on the terraces, rather than a 'crooner' version.

At the end of the day, the idea isn't for people to listen, it's for 'em to sing along, and try to make the FES a little more intimidating for opposition. Lets face it, Andy Williams is about as intimidating as Frank Spencer.

AccyMad 02-09-2006 15:23
Re: Impossible Dream
 
Fair enough - I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. Andy Williams may not be intimidating but to me neither is the Joe Pasquale/Kermit sound alike :)

Never seen all the words for Cart On Stanley before.

I love it, especially the last verse, hopefully bringing the whole town together.

Cart On Stanley is the new rock 'n' roll!

My friend took his daughter and nephew and where told to shut up as they where making too much noise, I ask you what is their problem. Maybe for one game some of the more vocal fans should go in the stand, could be interesting.:)

Depends on what sort of noise they were making. If they were chanting racist rhetoric and crying "Sieg Heil" in conjunction with goose-stepping up and down the stand, then I'm not surprised they were told to be quiet. :mad:

Do I detect a troubling trend here? Everyone who goes to the Stanley must do the same thing i.e. sing. Next thing you know we'll all be wearing blue uniforms and carrying a little red book.

Willie Miller 03-09-2006 21:00
Re: Impossible Dream
 
TM's right Main Stand dwellers ain't gonna want to sing, fair enough

I'd just like to see them react to what happens on the pitch sometimes. The bottom corner near the changing rooms never moved when Toddy skinned the full back. I watched them motionless

Watched the same at Aberdeen v Hibs & when that happened you saw life in the home support. Some raised fists, some shouts of "go on"

It really IMHO would make the place a harder place to get a result. I know JC has noticed it. A miss placed pass gets noise (groans) & a piece of skill gets nothing

However, they pay their money its up to them I suppose

Don't worry I will not be taking up the ticket offer, the Clayton End is where I watch my football and I'm not one of the Songmasters just a singer. The fact does remain TM that one of your own feels the need to make a point with the ticket offer because in his words, "I am sick of people constantly slagging off our players why don't they occasionaly offer encouragement in the way of some vocal support, I saw those two kids being told to shut up last week and I was disgusted they are the clubs future". There is a lot more written in the e-mail but I think the point has been made.

Eh? I don't sit in the stand and never have. I always stand on the Whinney Hill terrace and more than once I've got into an 'argument' with people when they've been shouting abuse at players. One day I'll get myself in trouble. ;)

The one of your own refers to the non-singers.

Anyone who was there knows that the Lincoln drummer was crap:)

I know there is not enough noise from the Main Stand most of the time but it's certainly not quiet around the area we sit (just ask Dan :))

I thought the drumming at Lincoln was very good, it got the crowd going. The Aldershot drumming was better though.

Re: Impossible Dream
 
I still think that the drum added an amazing atmosphere on the terrace, one that can't be replaced just by purley singing and clapping.

Might take a bit of learning ... so an easy option ...

"Cart On Stanley" fits the Pompey Chimes very well - as below.

That would be a good one for the terraces, but not as good as Jerusalam ... a catchy and uplifting song, would really bring the atmosphere up and get the lads going

I once had words to Jerusalem - but Hacker, Jamo and Lutel left, the words hardly needed altering to fit Stanley

Bring me my bow James of flaming gold goals
Bring me my arrows hacker of desire
Bring me my spear Speare oh clouds unfurled his arms unfurled
Bring me my chariot Cavanaagh of fire


ya de ya de dah - can't remember exact words now.
