At Hartlepool - Nearly, so nearly...

[Titanic]

You'll never get everyone singing all the original words. Just won't happen, has it ever?

If you want to get it slowed down in general you'd be better off singing it how we've always sung it, but slower.

Yes we will... let a small group start... SLOW and LOW... and then people join in gradually until the 'altogether now' moment... then everyone can join in, but SLOW IS THE KEY!!!

I think it's a Salvation Army band.

It was going very nicely indeed thank you, and building up to a cracking, properly paced chorus....when, as usual, all the younger lads over to the right hijacked it completely and sped through to the end in their usual ignorant manner.

The problem starts at the chorus when the clapping starts. The clapping speeds up the singing, so during the chorus clap slowly at the same speed as the verse. It will sound dreadful at first where singers appear to be having a race but gradually the speedy singers might get the idea.

This. Not gunna happen.
