We need a song

Re: We need a song

Loads of club’s fans sang You’ll Never Walk Alone in the 60s/early 70s. We did, even the Stretford End sang it, it wasn’t always uniquely Liverpool’s (or Celtic’s). In fact Man Utd fans adopted it after Munich ‘58.

Presumably it stuck with L'pool because it was sung by a Mersey band - at least that is some connection. i would much prefer I'll be there to Hey Jude.

We should adopt a Shirely Bassey song as she is a local girl. Diamonds are forever or Bluebirds are forver?

That maxim didn't work for Rushden.

My choice. Still a classic as it was when first played at Ninian Park in the late 1960's.

Not as good as the original by Left Banke.

Anyone remember Leicester away at Filbert St, first game of the season 1970? 1-0 win for us and we sang ‘The Wonder of You ‘ before the kick off, it would have made Elvis proud.

Everton ... 'There she Goes.'

Well, it's better than 'Z Cars.'

Peter Hooton of the farm wrote that song and he is a massive Liverpool fan (a real one).
Another band member was a big Everton fan and when they reached a cup final he asked Peter if they could use it to do the Everton cup final song and Peter agreed.
I heard Peter in later life tell the story that his father gave him a bollocking on his death bed because he allowed it to happen 😂

Re: We need a song

Just watching the Sunderland players listening to the fans sing Wise Men Say at the end of the game yesterday. Beautiful

Palace have Glad All Over

Forest have whatever it is

We could do with a song. Not sure it matters what it is. Just something everyone knows

Steps or something

Simply the Best was arguably the most inspirational 'walk-out' song of the Ninian Park era, although Men of Harlech can have few to match it.

If the Cardiff fans can wean themselves off using the usual non-inspirational & abusive chants towards Swansea & England and the pathetic Sheep Sh@gging B@stards ... in a match then that might have a positive influence on those contemplating Cardiff City as the next step in their career.

‘Simply the Best’??????? The City are the reason why I hate that song. The useless team of the time coming out to that was a total embarrassment and trades description should have got involved. As someone once suggested on here many moons ago, ‘A hooded man ringing a bell should have led the team out bellowing ‘Bring Out Your Dead’

Where are the clowns

Lyrics
isn't it rich?
Our form's in the bin,
Dalman's in Monaco
Vincent won’t fly in…
Ken is in London
Selling second hand cars
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
Tan's watching golf swings,
While we fail to move.
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when we hoped
That we’d play the youth,
We sell them off cheap,
And ignore the truth.
One’s sold to Leeds,
And others gone too
Academy dreams?
What did they do?

Isn't it fun?
Dropping like stones,
No real direction,
Just boardroom woes
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns...
Don’t bother we have them here

Re: Send in the Clowns ...

Well done. Now could you imagine it if fans actually sang that first verse at games?

Re: We need a song

Design For Life wouldn't be too bad

Swap out "her" for "his" and there's a ready made chant about Vincent


Probably better off not singing the actual chorus of that one mind...

Everybody Hurts by REM would get the crowd ready for the game.
