Amar Shonar Moyna Pakhi for sure - why? coz I love that song.

I know I'm going to sound like an old fogey here, but if you want to adopt Nazrul's "Chol-chol-chol", I don't see why you have to swoon over these newer remixed versions where you can hardly make out the lyrics. It is at its core a marching song, and sung best, IMO, with a marching/parade band accompaniment, as in this version.

Remember also that what you want for a sports anthem is a song can be sung by essentially everyone (even tone-deaf people, not just trained singers) without requiring complex instruments or synthesizers. I think that criterion works against some of the other songs already suggested -- I suspect most of you would have trouble singing them by yourself without any cues or accompaniment.

As for co-opting "Chol-chol-chol" as a sports anthem, I believe our armed forces already have dibs on it.

Not at all, Chol chol chol never gets old.

I second that. Much better than some of the sappy new mixes.

orun prater torun dol cholre cholre chol...
more appropriate for Bangladesh A team.

Most definitely this one for me.

The team already picked a song for themselves- "Amra Korbo Joy"

I am a nostalgic person, so my fav is "Hothat kore Bangladesh", although that song is only relevant to WC'99.

Here is "Amra Korbo Joy" -

An appropiate song for our young and inexperienced team

OK, I concede...this one beats the rest by at least 100 runs.

habfreak · #36 July 27, 2009, 10:26 PM

"Urbe bole tomar amar lal shobujet potaka" is definitely my new favourite! The chol chol chol remixed version would be good too if they could make a nice cricket related video to complement it.

I like the 2007 WC song. That song puts a "funny" feeling in me.. its a great song..I LOVE IT xD

Mahir · #38 July 28, 2009, 03:43 AM

I have TWO choices:

1. Nazrul's Chol Chol Chol (truly awe-inspiring as ever... always gets the adrenalines rushing)
2. GrameenPhone's Charidike Baaje Madol - Bangladesh's WC '07 Official Song (THE best music video i've ever seen... the lyrics and the melody put a smile on my heart)

Ehesen, I respect their wishes, but while Tindley's We Shall Overcome (mp3) is a wonderful and much-storied song, I would have preferred something home-grown and original, not derivative.

In my opinion, Cryptic fates Cholo Bangladesh pawns everything else. I can imagine the whole crowd whisteling that.....

that actulaly a perfect song for lstadium matche.
