Bang Bang
For as long as I can remember, people have been complaining that the Forest fans' take on 'Mull of Kintyre' (or 'City Ground' to give the song it's proper title :hey
is too fast for the record and someone should make a new, faster version for us to sing along too.
Well, don't tell Paul McCartney, but that's exactly what I've done. In a true punk style, I've sped it up and added some dirty great power chords for good measure. Good times :cheers:
Drums, bass, guitar are all done. All I need now is to record the vocals, and rather than croon through it myself, I thought what better than to get the rock 'n' rollers of LTLF to do the job! So, what I'd like to do is get a dozen or so Forest fans into a studio and bash out 'City Ground' in true City Ground fashion - top of the voice and loads of passion!
The version I've recorded includes the 'Far we have travelled...' verse (Soccer AM Fans of the Week should think twice about applying :nowink and a second verse written by my own hand, updating the original theme to modern times. All in all the plan is to turn a dreary dirge by a washed out Beatle into a ballsy football anthem we can be proud of. If it turns out well enough we could stick it on iTunes and raise some money for a good cause. Who knows, one day they might even play it at the City Ground?
So, who's up for getting involved? Like I say, I want about a dozen or more people, no singing ability required, just enthusiasm.
I will book a recording studio somewhere in the city and I thought the best time would be the morning of the 24th, the day of the Plymouth home game. I'm sure you'll all be going along to celebrate our fantastic season and the recording session would only take an hour, leaving plenty of time to get to the Globe (other drinking establishments are available) for a lunchtime pint. Hell, I'll even bring along a few beers to loosen up your vocal chords.
