I always sit behind the goal and to your point the group that chants “Fuck Seattle” every game even when we aren’t playing Seattle drives me crazy! I wish they would just stop. When we ARE playing Seattle I love the chant.
Circa 2014 when we were in the prime of the Porter Era and had just signed Urruti, I was convinced after this corner kick goal against LA (iirc) that he would be my favorite player, spaghetti arm celebration and all. At the time I sat in the front of 108 with a handful of friends (We called ourselves the 108 Drunk Crew and it was a jolly ol' time while it lasted) and one day, in the Commodore pregaming as a group, the song "Apache" came on the jukebox (great tune!) which reminded me of the classic Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire episode where Will and Carlton do a ridiculous dance to the same tune. HAMMERED on Whiskey, I stood up and did the same dance from that episode replacing the "Jump on it" chorus with "Urruti" and it instantly caught on with my drunk friend and a few onlookers as well. Come gametime, we were up front in 108 and as a section we fought HARD to get that going, much to the chagrin of an angry drum corp (shouts to Frankie and Ben) that could see we were trying some shit had no idea what the fuck it was we were doing. It took the entire match, but eventually we got them to work out a drumbreat for it and the "BOMP BOMP BOMP-Bomp Bomp Urruti, Urruti Urruti!" started to ring around the stadium and became a fixture during his glorious tenure with the team. Point is, it IS POSSIBLE, just not easy. It helps to have a decent mass of people already on board and something simple that drunk assholes can easily learn and do. I miss those days sometimes... With Angry Rob as our capo, and Davey Rojo, his future wife Sarah, Chuckles and the crew annoying everyone around us... The new TA is not a fraction of a fraction of just that section, and it is sad, but we will always have Apache...
Mental and Green is way better than You Are My Sunshine. The people around me also agree that Wise Men is poorly timed at the end of the match when the tempo of the chant does not match the energy needed on the field. How Sunshine and Wise Men are supposed to help or support the players on the pitch at the end of a match make no sense to me.
Sometimes when Jim is around for You Are My Sunshine he follows it with "everywhere we go / people wanna know / who we are" chant which is great. Reminds me of summer camp as a kid.
Great points above. There are some fun non-official chants in lower 103/104. We do 'sweet dreams are made of this / who am i to disagree' on top of 'take over the world'. And it's "When we do, you'll know that noise, came from the 1 - 0 - 3 ballistic army boys".
Player chants... Hm "blanco, blanco goals - i want to see a blanco goal" to the tune of macho man. "cristhian paredes / he doesn't fuck around / christhian paredes / he's gonna chop you down / christhian paredes/ he's a timber all right" to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "Can't take my eyes off you".
I know this article was written over a year ago but I wanted to come back to it. I have some good player chants. Like “ HE’S HERE, HE’S THERE, HE’S EVERYFUCKINGWHERE! CHARA, CHARA.” For deigo chara.

there's just so little of that now. it's such a follow the rules and adhere to the capos culture now. Love that story though

sunshine is special purely for Timber Jim, I do think wise men has a place but not at the 85th
Halftime Wise Men during the Valeri match was awesome.
