Viva LEIF DAVIS! 10:30 - Oct 9 with 1641 viewsNthQldITFC

Edit:

ITFC Matchday MC - Get this on the PA just before (or after?) EEJB just before kick off! It's high tempo, uplifting and energy giving and could really ramp the atmosphere up for kick off.

I agree that the lyrics below are too complex/fast to sing, but the rhythm and tempo leading into the crowd belting out "Viva LEIF DAVIS!" would be perfect.



Hotshot left back gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of talent and pace to burn
And legs that just never tire

There's a thousand scared right backs waiting out there
And they're all crying that it just isn't fair
Cos Leif's coming at them like a blue nightmare
So VIVA Leif Davis!
VIVA Leif Davis!

Viva, viva, LEIF DAVIIIIIIS!

I think it just needs the chorus. That will catch on. It's three words. It just needs singing!

Word to ArnoldMoorhen!

Leif really does need a song by ArnoldMoorhen 26 Sep 16:30
I uppied this because I assumed it was to Viva Las Vegas.

But it isn't!

But it should be.

Viva Leif Davis (optional der-doo-der-doo-der trumpet)
Viva Leif Davis (optional der-doo-der-doo-der trumpet)
Viva, oh viva Leif Davis!

So simple. Nobody can mess it up. It's a no brainer!



..and as jasondozzell says, Leif is an Elvis fan

Leif really does need a song by jasondozzell 26 Sep 15:51
That fits nicely as Leif is clearly an Elvis fan. Remember this?

Maybe, but the verses kind of build up to the chorus, and I quite like chants that start off a bit fast and chaotic, then the crowd gets synchronised, then the denouement comes as a crescendo.

If enough of Blue Action learn the words it will catch on at Away matches, and everyone will join in the chorus at Home matches.

(One small plea: can you change "tekkers". A word from the most Tim Lovejoy of Sky Sports eras!)

We spent most of last season singing “Liam Delano Olé Olé” on repeat (and loving it).

Football songs aren’t great because of intricate, articulate wording. They’re great because EVERYONE can join in, belt it out, get a huge noise and momentum going, singing it spontaneously and over and over and over again, in support of their favourite players.

And for a player who has shown such genuine and rare loyalty, the three words “Viva Leif Davis” have such meaning too.

Could maybe intro into it with a small group chanting...

"Leif's coming at them like a blue nightmare, so..."

Then gives the timing for others to join in with...

"VIVA, LEIF DAVIS,
VIVA, LEIF DAVIS,
VIVA... VIVA... LEIF DAVIIIIIIS!"

Yeah I was only thinking of the chrous to be honest, the rest is not going to happen - I think even we as a collective can manage VIVA LEIF DAVIS.

OK, I've been thinking about this whilst Zenning on my mountain bike, and I'm persuaded - it's just the chorus...

🎶 Viva-, Leif Davis,
Viva-, Leif Davis,
Viva-, Viva-, Leif Davi--s 🎶

Drawn out a bit on the '-'s and a bit more on the '--'s

Repeated works OK.

Which is a shame as the 1st verse + chorus would be better, and should be doable. There are longer chants out there but given how much trouble we have with EEJB sadly I suspect you’re right that it would be too much.

....we should just nick the Man Utd Ronaldo song:

Viva Leif Davis,
Viva Leif Davis,
Running down the wing,
It's an Ipswich thing,
Viva Leif Davis.

Simple, sorted, even us divs couldn't get it wrong.

Shamelessly bumping this again, but I remembered hearing that the people who sort out the pre-match playlist read stuff on here and elsewhere and drop those tunes in. Well I reckon this would sound great played a few minutes before KO, with the crowd getting in the habit of joining in with the chorus bit.
