Soccer fans chanting Horto Magiko version:



Learning version with new Sporting KC lyrics: (admittedly uninspiring with one person chanting, but this is to teach the lyrics)


Chant Origins:
The chant is well known among soccer fans to belong to Panathinaikos Soccer team in Greece.  The song essentially compares the undying support and love of the team to the love of drugs.  Obviously we have changed the lyrics a little bit.  Other MLS supporter groups have done this with varied success, probably secondary to the complex lyrics, song structure.  This is obviously not one to pick up while you are at the game, but one that needs practice and a little memorization before the game.  But after seeing the version above at a BASEKTBALL game, there should be no reason with a little effort this couldn't be done at LiveSTRONG Sporting Park!

Heard at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park: Section 102 June, July, August 2011, reportedly tried in the Cauldron with alternate lyrics in past
Heard from other MLS supporters groups: Houston Dynamo Texian Army, Seattle Sounders Emerald City Supporters, Toronto U-sector

Why it works: original lyrics, already popular soccer chant, strong support for the team, incorporated arm movements, fast beat, call and response for those who don't get the majority of the lyrics
Why it might not: Not well know to any American fan, multiple verses with subtle changes, used by other MLS clubs, arm movements
