Pop songs in the supporters' section?

HOU_030616_supporterssection

Ever wonder where the inspiration for the songs you hear in the supporters' section come from? Sometimes, it comes from something you may have heard on the radio.


MLSsoccer.com talked to a few supporters from around the league about the influence of pop music in their songs and chants, including El Batallón's Manny Gutierrez. For example, did you know the tune for "Forever We Are Orange" comes from a Bonnie Tyler song? Or that legendary Houston rap artist DJ Screw's work has made it into their chants?


You can find out more about El Battalón, Texian Army and the rest of the Dynamo supporters at a free kickoff party this Saturday at Lucky's Lodge. We'll paint tifo, hear from Brian Ching and Eddie Robinson, and drink beer as we get ready for the season opener on March 4.
