Song for Osvaldo!?

Simply

Ohhhhhh Ossie Ossie

Ossie Ossie Ossie Ossie

Osvaldo

to this tune

daniel osvaldooooooo

...

Taken from this article: http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/6474?cc=4716 (Read it all, as you'll see why this song means something to him).

 

Wild horses - couldn't drag us away

Daniel Osvaldo, we love watching you play

If people are worried about complexity or length, that in isolation could do the trick. It's slow, but then so is 'When the Saints Go Marching In' done properly. Most of the 'Another Brick in the Wall' efforts are pretty worthy too.

to this tune

 

daniel osvaldooooooo

 

What would the last bit be?

How about Billy Sharps song? We probably won't be used again....

Ole ole ole, ole ole ole,

Ole ole ole, ole ole ole,

Daniel Os-val-do

Who needs Ronaldo, we've got Osvaldo!

to this tune

 

daniel osvaldooooooo

 

I was going to suggest the same one. The end would need work, but as I'm no lyricist I thought one of the more talented posters may be able to come up with something

Love the idea of using Brick in the Wall - even if it's way too complicated for a football chant.

My 2p's worth: Shouldn't the last line be "All in all, it's just another Osvaldo goal"

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane

I can see the red tail lights heading for Saints

Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

God it looks like Daniel, is a Saint in our eyes

They say Hampshire is pretty though I've never been

Well Daniel says it's the best place he's ever seen

Oh except for London and all of Italy

Oh we signed Daniel, oh Daniel Osvaldo

Ohhh, Daniel Osvaldo haircut like a gypsy

But now you are a Saint, you look like Johnny Depp,

but we all know, that you'll score all the goals

Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky

Or maybe just the chrous in bold, but I think you need the verse to set the scene

Some of those songs sound great as ideas but tbh they're not going to catch on. I think our fans are pretty hopeless when it comes to creativity on songs.

Gimme a P, P

Gimme a D, D

Gimme an O, O!

What do you get? PDO!

(Chant probably won't catch on.)

I think ant's right, keep it short and simple, though I would just use Osvaldo for the second line:

Wild horses - couldn't drag us away

Osvaldo, we love watching you play

When the ball hits the goal it's not Rooney or Hulk it's Osvaldo.

possible fix

possible fix

Cole rhymes with goal though. Rooney is better though I'll give you that.

What would the last bit be?

For the goal's he brings, he's Southampton's King...... I tried.

What would the last bit be?

Number 17, our new Goal Machine.

Osvaldo, ohohoh, Osvaldo, ohohoh, He looks like Johnny Depp, He's got a bit of a rep

To the tune of 'Brown Sugar' by The Stones:

Clap - clap, clap, clap, clap, clap,

Osvaldo, how come you play so good?

Clap - clap, clap, clap, clap, clap

Osvaldo, just like we knew you would.

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

That would sound awesome, and unique. And one you can really belt out, half sing the Osvaldo bit, the other the rest.

And once he has scored, it just changes to "he's gonna score again, he's gonna score again"

I would like us to do alan partridge and be like "Dan! Dan! Dan!... DAN!" but I spose it would be quite difficult to co-ordinate.

Osvaldo, wooahh, Osvaldo, wooaahh, he shined in Italy, and Pirates of the Caribbean Three.

I'm joking

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

New favourite for me here ^

My favourite. Perhaps have one guy with a megaphone leading this chant and we all follow their lead.

The famous Osvaldo went to Rome to see the pope and this is what he said .....

Slightly off-topic, but check out Spurs fans rendition of the immortal Blue classic 'One Love':

The fella singing sounds like a sh1t version of Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip. Shocking craic.

Can this be added to?

So you think you can tell

Johnny Depp from Daniel

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

We have our winner.

Sticking with the Jack Sparrow theme...

'This is the tale, of Daniel Osvaldo.. The striker to fire Saints to the Champions League..."

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

Forget everything else....this this this this this

He don't need no education

He has got great ball control

He had enough of AS Roma

His name is Pablo Osvaldooooo....

 

Hey keeper ! You can't stop Pablo

 

All in all Osvaldo, has scored another great goal

Like it!

Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane

I can see the red tail lights heading for Saints

Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye

God it looks like Daniel, is a Saint in our eyes

 

They say Hampshire is pretty though I've never been

Seriously why do people bother with things like this (no offence mate)

Rule 1 football chants are short and catch, not full length songs!!

When the balls in the goal it's not shearer or Cole it's osvaldo.

When the balls in the goal it's not nolan or cole it's osvaldo,

When he runs down the wing who needs Stuart downing he's osvaldo,

Great control of the ball as he nutmegs noble he's osvaldo,

When their chairman says hey where's financial fair play, there's osvaldo!

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

If it is to be kept as simple as this suggestion, how about changing the oi oi oi to something like this;

Ossie Ossie Ossie

Os Val Do!

Ossie Ossie Ossie, Oi Oi Oi, Ossie, Oi, Ossie, Oi, Ossie Ossie Ossie, Oi Oi Oi.

 

I ask for royalties to the tune of £10 every time it gets sung.

Osvaldo and Fernando of Abba fame popped into my head, but being tone deaf it's gone flat from there:(

But referring to the Johnny Depp likeness there must be something in the Sweeney Todd song book.

I'd love to hear a bit more rock and roll coming from the terraces.

We know that he likes Pink Floyd but I find their tunes aren't so chant-worthy. He also likes The Rolling Stones and I've had a couple of ideas based on their songs.

To the tune of Miss You:

Na na na na, nananah, Na na na na, nananah, Osvaldo! and repeat.

And (my favourite) to the tune of It's Only Rock and Roll:

[video=youtube_share;JGaBlygm0UY]

I know, Osvaldo scored a goal, and I like it! and repeat.

I see a red shirt, but what's painted on the back?

It's number seventeen, and he's on the attack.

Rounding the defender, he shoots and scores a goal.

The Saint's Captain Jack Sparrow, Daniel Osvaldo.

Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Osvaldo

(Stones - Paint it black)

You can't get near, to Osvaldo

You are ****ed now, cos here's Osvaldo

You can try

You can try

you can try

you can tryyyyy

But yOu can't get near, oh no no no.

(satisfaction, the stones )

love it, but reckon it would be better with the ending bit not mentioning jack sparrow, maybe something like...

he looks like johnny deep, but its daniel Osvaldo

Yeah, I struggled with that line. Originally had 'The Saints swashbuckling pirate, Daniel Osvaldo'

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

This.

Osvaldo, He's gonna score today, it's just a shot away.

 

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!

1st prize, different, but easy enough

(Stones Gimme Shelter)

This is excellent.. A unique tune, fits perfectly and can be repeated.

I genuinely think he'll love the effort with the Stones reference too!

Who's going to try and get this going on Saturday!?

THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!

Quick (and very poor) youtube ing and he its ready to be sung

yes!!!

Gimme Shelter is spot on! Great idea and original. Get it going Saturday.

He was wearing a John and Yoko t-shirt today, which was probably a reference to the first line of the Ballad of John and Yoko, 'standing at the docks in Southampton'. If we were as effortlessly cool as Dani himself, we would come up with a song based on this to show we got the reference.

Perhaps we should all take a book to the game and read it too much.
