My good friend, Lars Svensson, and I, partnered up to bring you this very special Saab song! I got the idea in my head last night when I climbed into bed (it seems my best Saab ideas all happen here lately!), and then asked Lars to help me write the lyrics this morning. Well, he took hold of this one, and did an unbelieveable job! We would love to see this song produced and used! See for yourself below!
(in tune to The Eagles Heartache Tonight song)
There’s Gonna Be a Rally Tonight
The Saabs are gonna hit the road
Like we’ve been telling you.
All Saabs are gonna come along
To show what we can do
Every driver wants to make a statement
In support of Saab
Everybody wants to give our brand a chance,
bring it back again
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
A rally tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight, I know.
Lord I know.
Some people people tend to give up hope
Some folks can’t hold out this long
But nobody should stay home now.
There’s too much going on.
All Saabs are gonna send a message
That our faith is real
Some time before it’s all too late
The factory will come to life again
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
A rally tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight, I know.
Lord I know.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
We must win this fight.
So turn on the light, and Saab’ll be allright.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight, a
Rally tonight I know.
The Saabs are gonna hit the road
Like we’ve been telling you.
All Saabs are gonna come along
To show what we can do
Every driver wants to make a statement
In support of Saab
Everybody wants to give our brand a chance,
bring it back again.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
A rally tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
A rally tonight, I know.
Let’s go
If we can stand up strong together;
We can show them we are right
We can rally in the parkin’ lot,
thats what we say, there’s gonna be a
rally tonight, a rally tonight, I know.
There’s gonna be a rally tonight,
A rally tonight, I know.
Let’s rally together, everyone! Together we can make a difference! Go Saab, GO!
thumbs up! 🙂
Nice song, Anne.
Can someone put this on music so we can sing this with the help of that music on the 14th and 15th?
We have contacted a guy who should be able to do that but haven’t got an answer from him yet.
As Lars said, we’re actively seeking someone to make that happen!
Look forward to it.
Maybe you could get in contact with “Mr Griffin up”.
Talks are ongoing between us and one or more other parties. We can’t tell you more right now. 😉
Great! Look forward to hear more about it…
Ah, so it indeed is a support-convoy! Not a regular meeting, this is a support and protest text. Hmm, the Dutch organizers told us personally otherwise.
It is to show support for the Saab brand and get people to keep on doing Saab! This song is in support of the rally, to get people excited and go join the their local rallies, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘protest’?
I totally agree that this song is NOT a protest song; so it can well be used at the Dutch meeting without putting the organizers in a difficult position.
Just hope it will sound loud and clear everywhere that weekend where there is a Saab Meeting; and long time thereafter as well.
One of the main things I had in mind while writing this was to keep it positive and avoid putting the blame for what has happened on anyone. Tasks I personally think I have accomplished. But I guess you just can’t please everyone, simple as that.
It is a good text and does not have any negative content to it.
I have been told by a french dealership named Saab Tadek (Salon de Provence, France) to tell you that this idea is really great. They envoyed the music (Eagles) as well as the lyrics very much. And they now want to make a video with the 130 people in front of the 95 Saabs that will attend their “little” meeting.
Registered french Saab supporters are now more than 300 people with 246 Saabs in Paris, Salon de Provence, Mulhouse and Bordeaux!
We are Saab
I am so glad to hear this! I would love to see your video! Let me know if Lars and I can be of any help!
Hello,
first, sorry for my english ;-(
It’s true I really like your song but I’m not sure we can make a video because we have not the right on the music. and I don’t play music so it’s a good idea but too short for a flashmob. and the 150 people who come to my “”little”” meeting are almost all men so…. ;-)))
We are Many, We are SAAB
Great; I love listening to The Eagles..
