Arshavin needs a song?

How difficult is 'Ra-Ra Arshavin, Russia's greatest goal machine' to remember?

A fairly simplified version would suit all...

Followed by what?

You can't leave it at that can you, or are you suggesting repeating it, or la la la's to accompany the rest of the melody?

Plus, the fast tempo of the song would make it difficult for many to sing along with in time and wouldn't sound good.

A somewhat simplified version (of another song altogether) just for IHH

... to the "Adebayor... give him the ball

" song:

The cat sat on the mat
The cat sat on the maaaaat
Arshaviiiiin
Doesnâ€™t rhyme with that

I like idea of Rasputin tune, it's original and it really is made for Andrei...so this is my shot, I tried to keep it as simple as possible...something like...

Ra-Ra Arshavin
Russia's greatest goal machine
First time at Anfield and he gets four

Ra-Ra Arshavin
Arsenal's number 23
He'll keep us singing at Ashburton Grove (when we're at home)

or

He'll keep you quiet wherever we go (when we're away)

He's my words to the Rasputin song:

Ar-Ar Arshavin, Russia's greatest goal machine
He's the lad from St Petersburg
Ar-Ar Arshavin, Goals, he's gonna knock 'em in (note the ryhme here)
He is Gooner. He hates the Spurs. (and here)

Another one. Tune animals 2 by 2.

A Superstar but he's a titch, Andrey, Andrey
And Pavylechenko is his bitch, Andrey, Andrey
He scored four goals on Merseyside
And waved his tongue from side to side
Andrey Arshavin, King of Ashburton Grove

Although I think we should keep this tune for the Eduardo song though.

I think the Ra-Ra song is good, it's unique to him and simple! Seems to be a lot of agreement about that.

So I have mixed a bit of everyone's in here and think we're nearly there...but can't finish of the lines...HELP!

Arsh-Arsh-Arshavin
Russia's greatest goal machine
He scores the goals like we've never seen (sure this bit could be better!!)

Arsh-Arsh-Arshavin
When he scores we're gonna win
(Can't think of last line!!)

Must say that's the best of the bunch, er..bunch!!

Lyrics that are simple to learn and rhyming to boot.

However, my worries about the pace of it and how it would sound when sung in numbers still exists.

am i the only one who thinks it sounds a bit gay?

i suppose i'll have to hear 10000 gooners singing it to pass judgement seeing as though ive not come up with an alternative.

i have to say, this one posted earlier is my personal fav (to the tune of the adams family:

We should have got him sooner,
He told us "I am Gooner",
He'll make your bottom smoother,
He's Andrey Arshavin

Ok Don't be to critical but to an original tune.... By The Skids... Into the Valley......... (but require a line to finish first verse....) (Errr if it's worth it that is) (to the younger people who don't know The Skids please Youtube it as it's a great tune from the late 70's)

Andrei Arshavin
Arsenal's goal machine
Signed from Russia on deadline day
-------------------- ay....??????

Andrei Arshavin
Arsenal's twenty Three
Scored four goals on Merseyside
Wiggled his tongue from side to side

Andrei, Andrei!! 5 Foot high!
Andrei, Andrei!! Looks like a boy!!
Andrei, Andrei!! Tongue like a viper!!!
Andrei, Andrei!! A Gooner till he diessssss!!!!!

I have admit I have also nicked bits of other suggestions...

Well the Russian Wizard has said he likes to be called 'Sharva' (Shavva!)

So to the tune of karma Chameleon: (every time he scores!)

SHAVVA ! SHAVVA! SHAVVA ! SHAVVA !

HE'S SCORED AGAIN! HE'S SCORED AGAAAAAAAIN!

HE'S SCORED AGAIN! HE'S SCORED AGAAAAAIN

Simple, easy to remember and catchy(ish)

I like this one the best.

Ar-Ar Arshavin, Russia's greatest goal machine
He's the lad from St Petersburg
Ar-Ar Arshavin, Goals, he's gonna knock 'em in
He is Gooner. He hates the Spurs.

Arshavin needs a song?
