The Parkhead factor

[Divine Wright]

Bit quite really.

It makes me think of how long “Eddie May’s barmy army” used to go on for….probably a good 10 minutes on occasions.

This led me to think that if a managers name doesn’t fit into this chant , maybe it’s a bad omen …or something

Re: The Parkhead factor

I have previously suggested "Super Stevo's Barmy Army", which fits really well, even if it's not particularly accurate.

Angel muffin.

Don’t think I could sing that … to much of a deviation and saying “Steve-oh” sounds a bit wanky.

Nathan Jones barmy army ….. that works

It's 4 syllables. As in "Frankie Burrows's blue and white army, we're not mad we're ****ing barmy". It frequently went on for longer than 10 minutes.

3 or 4 works….. Sentence stress also plays a role……Steve Morison has 4 syllables but would sound stupid sung “Steve-mo Ri-son’s”

You need 2 x 1 or 2 x 2 syllables

Re: The Parkhead factor

I have often thought 'Bluebirds' inserted in the Barmy Army chant would work in much the same way Toon Toon works.

At least it is ours then. Barmy Army times 200, while raising the volume and adding atmosphere isn't really City specific is it.

Not necessarily. You're looking for three OR four. 'Eddie May's barmy army' worked, as did 'Neil Warnock's' (3), but so did 'Frankie Burrows' (4).

From a call and response song writing perspective 3-4 (2+2) is optimal, so 1-2-3, 1-2-1-2, as opposed to 1-2-3-4, 1-2-1-2. The former has more energy allowing for prolonged repetition.

I guess you might also have to factor in the added syllable in surnames ending in the s, sh and ch sounds…..

Lizzy Truss’ (trussis) Blue n white army …..for example

Nathan Jones

Jordan Mutch

Etc

Very complicated
