The Netherlands suffers from the same problem as 'the' Ukraine in that it is a geographical term too, similar to the island nations mentioned. Ukraine means border lands, which is part of the basis for Putin's dismissive attitude to their claim to nationhood. I think it is widely accepted by places such as most English language foreign offices that only two countries should be preceded with the definite article: The Gambia and The Bahamas.

Ah a common one, fair enough. I'm still sore that my 'Magno Vieira drinks are free' effort didn't catch on. If its any consolation, I still sing it to this day when George michael comes on the radio! Really very significant consolation 😎

Who did the Richard Money/Champs Elysees song? That still gets sung in my house whenever Money is mentioned

Sully Seychelles? Reunion is a French DOM is it? Oveeas department. Lib Dem councilor for Queen Edith's ward, Daniel Lee, who occasionally used to come to CUFC matches, used to have a girlfriend from Réunion. He caught her cheating on him in their flat on the Wirral. I like Saikou Janneh qu'est-ce que c'est. We're going to call it The Gambia generally or just Gambia? Technically it is The Gambia, apparently to avoid confusion with Zambia. One of only two countries with the definite article and the other one definitely isn't Ukraine!! The Arsenal. 'scuse me while I vomit.

When I’m watching Janneh, I go out of my head, I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough… We slip and slide as we fall in love and we just can’t seem to get enough of… du du du du du du Saikou Janneh etc etc Good to have this one wrapped up. Why does every team have to have the same 6 chants? Every team ended up with She's Electric and/or Rockin All Over by the end of the year. There's millions of songs out there. The Talking Heads one is ace. Beats me, guess we’re all creatures of habit. Genuinely missed the Talking Heads suggestion in the thread. Original and enjoyable. Has my vote.

I believe credit goes to soulhalshall To this day I still work up the old organ to this splendid composition when the church is empty.

Another song option would be the classic Iko Iko by The Belle Stars (and others).
The actual lyrics are:
See that guy all dressed in green Iko, Iko a nae He's not a man He's a lovin' machine Jock-a mo fee na-nee"
Saikou Janneh fits perfectly into line two and I'm sure that someone who is better than this than me could come up with some choice alternative lyrics for the remaining lines. Just a thought...
