sassermaet Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Please not the Trowie Song. How about something that truly reflects our culture, like...Never On a Sunday (On the Piss)? After all, Yell adopted it for their national anthem years ago. Let's spread it island (archipelago?) wide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 A modernised rework of this, its badly showing its age as it stands, and with a better singer. Dis een sounds like she walking barefoot on a floor of drawing pins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqea_rVC93A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinner72 Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 No Sweat's version of the Hen's March would be a great anthem for the team to come out to.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassermaet Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 ^^^ Ahhh, I'd forgotten about that Love that version. Wonder if it's on YouTube or if anyone has an MP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njugle Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 How about "Blowin' in the wind"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 How many roads must the man build nowBefore you can drive through the peat?Yes, n how many lochs must the peat run-off fillBefore the water is no longer sweet?Yes, n how many times must the big cranes liftBefore the damage is done and complete?The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,The answer is blowin in the wind. How many times must a man look upBefore he can no longer see the sky?Yes, n how many ears must one man haveBefore he can hear the blades cry?Yes, n how many deaths will it take till he knowsThat too many merlins have died?The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,The answer is blowin in the wind. How many years can a mountain existBefore its washed to the sea?Yes, n how many years can some funding existBefore theyre taken from you and me?Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,Pretending he just doesnt see?The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind,The answer is blowin in the wind. I just cant resist a bit of satire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tirvaluk Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Must admit, I always liked the Norsemans Home, but according to Sandy, some sportsmen at Aland had suggested another song should be used.I think it must have been some of the Up Helly Aa commitee, pissed aff at their song being used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
