Does your favored team have a special chant ? If not , here are seven examples that might inspire you to write one of your own .
1. “Two World Wars and One World Cup!“
You might have hear English fans reviving this previous sunshine if you watched the recent England - Germany World Cup match . The two countries have a long - fend competition — England bring home the bacon its only World Cup in 1966 in a final against West Germany — and it ’s laborious to comment on their association football battles without bringing up their military chronicle . Another English sunniness pop off , " If you bring home the bacon the state of war , support up!“ In 1966 , their contention revolutionize this gem of sportswriting :
2. “Pericles, Sophocles, Peloponnesian War; “¨X-Squared, Y-Squared, H2SO4; “¨Cosine, Tangent, Secant, Line; “¨Three point one four one five nine!“
I call this one The Great Nerd Chant .
A number of very geeky school take to have come up with it ; some school - specific magnetic declination on the last two line include : " Three detail one four one five nine/ Come on Williams , bind that line!“ and " Cosine , Tangent , Secant , Ray/ Swarthmore , Swarthmore , all the way!“ I ’ve also hear it attribute to University of Chicago . Or essay these last verses :
" Two , Four , Six , Eight / God is dead and Nietzsche ’s great!“"Kant , Hegel , Marx , Spinoza / " ¨Come on squad , hit ‘em in the nosa . “
3. “He’s got a pineapple on his head!“ (x4)
Sung to the tune of " He ’s get the whole world in his hands" ( manifestly ) . Another British footie chant , this one was used to make fun of Jason Lee of Nottingham Forest and his dreads .
4. “Oh ORUOh ORUOh OR UniversityOrdained for holy destinyMay your torch still burnAt the Lord’s returnAnd count for eternity"
Oral Roberts University ’s " liveliness song" is sung at sporting events to instill college superbia . It has the pace and verve of a football game fight song , but morphs from sport sunniness to hymn moderately quickly , on the face of it more interested with eternal salvation than the Golden Eagles ' win - loss record .
5. “Drink Blood, Smoke Crack, Worship Satan, Go Mac!“
Macalester College , on the other handwriting , takes a slightly more cavalier coming to its ultimate destiny .
6. “Fight, Fight, Inner Light!Kill, Quakers, Kill!Knock ‘em Down, Beat ‘em Senseless!Do It ‘til We Reach Consensus!“
The origins of this one are strange , but just about every Quaker college in the area uses this classical chant - Earlham , Goshen , Guilford , Haverford , and Swarthmore all claim it as their own . " Blood makes the grass grow ! Kill , Quakers , Kill!“ is another variation that attract to the pacifist sensibilities of the Society of Friends , and then there ’s the older chestnut , " Stop transnational pot from raping third - mankind countries . Go team . “
7. “Fight exuberantly!Fight exuberantly!Compel them to relinquish the ball!“
This chant used by Earlham football cheerleaders in the 1970s might be my personal favorite . Persuasive , elegant , to - the - point — this cheer has it all . Interestingly enough , Earlham ’s mascot has changed from the Fightin ' Quakers to the Hustlin ' Quakers to simply the Quakers . The earlier two names were view as too violent . * * * * * Did your high school day or college have any amusing cheers , Sung , or chants?What are some of your favorites ?
