  Well I was at the tigers game, and the chant above us was "Pass it to Semi"

    And they passed and kicked it to him. The box changed the course of the game!

  Any Fijian song sung after Semi scores would be brilliant. I recogn it would bring tears to his eyes. We will all need to be wearing grass skirts though.

  What about the hymn the national team sing before a match? It's called Noqu masu
  
  
  I Jiova
  Uuuu........... uuuuuu
  Oqo na noqu masu , noqu masu
  Na noqu masu, ka niu sa gadreva (gadreva dina sara)
  Meu sere taka rawa na yacai Jiova
  I Jiova , I Jiova
  Ni vukei au , ni vukei au mada
  Veika au vaqara,meu sere ga ( Gagadre ni yaloqu)
  Au mai tagicaka
  Uuuuu

  It's not a hymn but a Party song is called "Waidebala" by Fijian Group, Black Rose. Although it's Fijian, All other islanders (Samoans, Tongans, etc) love it even though they don't understand a word of it. My Fijian Mate told me it's a song about having a Good Time with Family & Friends and the laid back Fijian Islander Lifestyle.
  Here's a link to the YouTube Clip which actually has Fijian Lyrics on it: http://youtu.be/HBhxUwPgQnU - Enjoy & Good Luck learning the words, killer song though :)

    Found the lyrics too:
    
    Waidebala bala o waidebala bala
    Au dau au dau digia nomui yabe ena vei mataka
    Isa o vuni moli, moli lei o vuni moli, moli
    Au dau, au dau digia nomui yabe ena vei vei bogi
    
    Isa o vuni moli, moli lei o vuni moli, moli
    Au dau, au dau digia nomui yabe ena vei vei bogi
    Nomui loloma, loma I na tamavua river
    River ni sole sole sole sole
    Na rua au dau kamica
    
    Waidebala bala o waidebala bala
    Au dau au dau digia nomui yabe ena vei mataka
    Nomui loloma, loma I na tamavua river
    River ni sole sole sole sole
    Na rua au dau kamica

  Yeh, after trying to pronounce the first line I think I'm just going to stick to the Semi, Semi chant which last game I might add stretched beyond the Swarm and into the stand above...

    Practice makes perfect! Me and my brother are definitely gonna give learning it a go. Gonna have to listen to the song a fair bit (lucky it isn't that bad a song IMO) and hopefully others will catch on when we sing it out at the games!
