The Armada

Personally, I still prefer Cirque du Soleil👍

Look, Aida isn't some exclusive property belonging to either Torcida or Armada. I mean, people sing that song in hundreds of stadiums all over the world—it’s a global anthem! The real question is who owns the rights to it, but let's be real: Torcida is the reason it blew up again back home and made its way back under the stadium lights. Honestly, these debates about who did it first or who "owns" the originality are just stupid. Total waste of time. ☕Anyway, all things considered, Armada put out a solid set yesterday. 👍

I guess we should all just raise our voices and put our hands up together—singing at the top of our lungs, shouting "alelu!" because honestly, life feels a bit empty without some good bourbon... hahaha! I wonder where the old guard was when we were busy writing all those hits about whiskey...

The old crowd used to sing that back in the days of the old union...☕
By the way, we're celebrating my birthday by rooting against you guys...

B52 said:What is the point of this argument? People have been singing those songs at San Francisco for at least seventeen years now. If we really want to dig through the past using forensic investigation methods to figure out "who did what to whom," we'll be stuck in an endless loop. And what about Aida? Who owns that exclusivity? They've been singing under those cliffs for ages too.

Exactly. The Rangers have been singing that for twenty years, and you can't exactly claim moral high ground just because you don't, even though it doesn't stop us from joining in on the singing.

The navy really pulled off an incredible choreography—it’s just a shame we don't see this kind of turnout except for the massive games. But man, visually and thematically, that display was absolute fire.

Who on earth could pull this off:

Great navy.
Just one question: why isn't the mast on both "ships" all the way up to the shark?

The navy was singing it way back in the old days too🙂

We didn't sing Aida yesterday (honestly, haven't sung it in years)

It's just you I love... I suspect the Rangers were the first ones to "sing it," but
we've been singing this song for far too long now—I don't see any reason why we should stop...

Holy hell, look at that choreography..🙏🙏

Kudos to the navy🙏

Just one question—why isn't there a mast on both "ships" before we hit shark territory?

Just some technical stuff...

Man, we were beltin' that out way back when this place was its own little territory—honestly, some of the younger guys tell me they heard it for the first time back when Christ was actually walking the earth...😍

You guys were incredible. The choreography was so clever and well-executed, plus all those flags looked amazing—but honestly, what really blew me away was that spectacular flare display.

@cohort-retfala
Look, you’d honestly be better off just keeping your mouth shut. It’s people like you, barking away on internet forums, that make half the American sports scene wait for the perfect moment to jump a bunch of guys from the cohort. Then, once you finally get what's coming to you, you'll be whining and crying like a bunch of broken telescopes about how unfair everything is...

Someone’s certainly puffed up their chest a bit too much while leaning on the left side of the boat...

@provokatori...
That song you keep calling "AIDA" wasn't actually sung against Dinamo, even though we've heard it at our end of the stands a few times before—if I remember right, during the 2005 cup final against Varteks. And as for our own anthems? Let's be real, out of the last ten songs we've put out, eight of them use melodies that nobody in America or all over Europe is singing.

The wind shifted a bit more toward the port side....

Thanks for the reply. I figured there was some deeper reason behind it.

drug24/7 said:Which one? Honestly, I don't see it that way at all... 🤷

Why didn't you guys put a sail on the third pole and maybe a little boat underneath it?

Look, for the third pole, it doesn't matter. We just didn't want to put anything there. Is that really such a big deal?...

Here’s a list of the "original" songs and melodies we've been milking for the last five years. Just a bunch of recycled junk.
- Because of her, I'm unhappy... (Kim Wilde)
- Blue and white colors... (Tuta Mostar)
- Standing in the West... (Some melody from an old cartoon)
- We were proud guardians all those years... (God knows where this came from, some song they make you learn in music class in school, but nobody actually sings it)

And then there are the "brand new" ones, straight from the minds of our own members:
- And how lovely it is to love you...
- And he sings for hours...

Does anyone happen to have a recording of "Tuta Mostar" lying around?? 👍

Here’s a list of the original songs and melodies we've burned through over the last five years.
- Because of her, I'm unhappy... (Kim Wilde)
- Blue and white colors... (Tuta Mostar)
- Standing in the West... (A melody from some cartoon)
- We were proud guardians all those years... (Not sure where it came from, but it's an American song taught in music class that nobody actually sings)

Completely new ones, straight from our members' heads:
- And how beautiful it is to love you...
- And singing for hours...

"And singing for hours"—those are great lyrics. Is there any video of people actually singing that, besides during our pre-game warmups? Also, do people still sing it in the stands? Personally, I think the remix by Colonia Cleveland is the best version out there.

I couldn't find anything better than this. I did stumble upon some footage of us singing on a Greyhound bus once, but honestly, it’s garbage—only a handful of us are actually singing. Anyway, here's what we've got:

BLUE AND WHITE COLORS,
MOM IS IN MY HEART
AND MY BIGGEST WISH
CLEVELAND CHAMPIONS

CLEVELAND IS MY LIFE,
CLEVELAND IS EVERYTHING,
CLEVELAND IS MY SUN,
I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER!!

@urbanhawk10/">@@urbanhawk10
As far as I can tell, that’s the only recording out there. You don't really see those videos from the stadium where the whole crowd is beltng it out together...
There's a track by Colonia called "Cleveland is the Best of All," but they don't really sing along to it, even though if you ask me, it's a killer tune... I totally forgot to mention that one earlier...

Heh, that’s exactly why I said "from some cartoon"... just so I wouldn't get flagged for this stuff...

Anyway, whatever. Personally, I think our cover version is killer...
