Surprised no one mentioned one of my favorite dance floor stomping chants:
(man, in retrospect this was some angry ass sh*t![:I])

Nitzer Ebb - 'Join in the Chant'

[i]Lies, lies, lies, lies
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Guns, guns, guns, guns
Fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire![}:)]
Oh!
Gold, gold, gold, gold
Judge, judge, judge, judge
Guns, guns, guns, guns
Fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire![}:)]
Oh!
Oh!
MUSCLE AND HATE!
MUSCLE!
MUSCLE!
MUSCLE!
MUSCLE!
Lies, lies, lies, lies
Books, books, books, books
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire[}:)], fire![}:)]
Oh!
Uh!
MUSCLE AND HATE!
MUSCLE AND HATE!
JOIN IN THE CHANT!
JOIN IN THE CHANT!
JOIN IN THE CHANT!
JOIN IN THE CHANT!</I>


Oh yeah, and who can forget this other early 80's hip hop club chant?

Grandmaster Flash - 'The Roof Is On Fire'

<I>The Roof!.. The Roof!.. The Roof is on Fire! We don't need no water let the mutha f**cka Buurn! Burn mutha f**cka Buuurn!![/i]

The biggest "fire" song of them all:

Doors - Light My Fire


The Leroi Brothers - Fight Fire With Fire (sounding more like the Doors than Morrison, Krieger, Manzarek and Densmore themselves).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hey! Somebody post this song! I havent heard it in ages!

Oh No!!! No one has mentioned the Godfather of fire!!![:0]

...ARTHUR BROWN (AKA 'The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown): 'FIRE'!

What an awesome performer and singer!

"I Am The God Of HellFire...and I bring you...FIRE...!!!" (well, ok, it WAS in the sixties!)

http://www.godofhellfire.co.uk/

...and just to show that his celebrity lives on...

Duran Duran [i]Save A Prayer[/i]

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into the well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his [i]fire[/i]
Take a chance
(Like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Come to think of it, "fire" is a regular theme for Duran Duran:

[i]A View To A Kill[/i]
Until we dance into the [i]fire[/i]...

[i]Union Of The Snake[/i]
The wild boys are calling
on their way back from the [i]fire[/i]...

[i]Hungry Like The Wolf[/i]
Darken the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a a[i]fire[/i]...

[i]New Moon On Monday[/i]
And a [i]fire[/i]dance through the night...
