Lets end this embarrassing ultras song ?!

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I can picture a group of fellas in a Brighton pub in the early 1920's discussing how to turn "Sussex By The Sea" into a football song and being told "nah , that's a shit song they sang in the war."

I'm proper lost now, one is the anthem of our county, the other is some shit 50's song sung by some old crone (who's name escapes me) that has had it's words changed so they make no sense from Hamburg to Addis fuckin Abbaba via Blackpool, the comparison is poor at best

 

[Simster]

for me this would sound better and like you said the other stands can join in , at the moment its only a north stand chant

This.

As I say, I like the song but it has been f***ed up for us by the fact that it has exclusively north stand lyrics.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I do think in a town full of songwriters we could be doing a whole lot better.
Someone start a 'Song for Albion'. Anyone know Norman Fat Boy or Simon of the Levellers. It can't be that difficult to get our own unique catchy song going.

Terry Garraghan's yer man, 'Seagulls on our shirts' is a classic!

 

[chucky1973]

My own opinion of this song is that its sounds great when you get to the "SEA SEA SEA ...WHOOOOA ETC" the rest of it sounds awful and mixed up with fans singing differnet words and its just a disaster, only once in the 8 home games so far has it sounded very good all the way through, the rest of the time, not good. Just my opinion.

This.

not if the first line is changed to "WE ARE BRIGHTON , BRIGHTON , BRIGHTON"

This!

Copying us like this should make you cringe tbh.

Erm, but we are not copying you, you sing the same words every other club in the country (bar the team name) does don't you. We have used a tune and developed our own words to it.

 

[slinky]

f*** sake.... you don't need to make a new post every f***ing day about it, if you don't like it don't sing.

"Sussex By The Sea" was a WW1 marching song which was no doubt sung at The Goldstone before Sir Norman Wisdom adapted the lyrics to a version we now know as "Good Old Sussex By The Sea". AFAIK there are only 2 clubs in the whole Football League with unique songs and we are one of them.

this is shit, shit, shit,
the song is shit, shit, shit,
f***ing shit, shit, shit,
still shit shit shit,
WHOA WHOA WO WHOA WHOA WO..

This is an interesting version. Although can it be changed to incorporate all of the stands, something about Annie Nightingale and the fact that the beach isn't sandy?

Also If you can get THE SEA, THE SEA, THE SEA into that would be cool as that's my favourite bit.

 

[Richard Hebberd's Syrup]

The people who are so against this song are doing it from an anti left wing, ultra, (and dare I say Irish/Celtic) point of view, and have suddenly found an excuse after Tuesday Night.

No, they are against it because it sounds f***ing shit

 

[Brovion]

A lot of our songs and chants are shit - and the ones that aren't (GOSBTS) we MAKE them shit. People moan about the tune, the words, the fact it's not unique, the fact that Palace (among other clubs) sing it, well so what? I hope the NSK keep on singing it just to piss off all the chant Nazis on here

For me the single drawback isn't so much that Palace sing it, it's that they sing it so much BETTER than we do. That's the embarrassment.

 

[supaseagull]

Can we stop singing "Oh the lads" as it's a man united song?

Can we stop singing "Seagulls" because we nicked it off palace?

Can we stop singing "Albion" because liverpool started it?

Can we stop singing "Sussex by the sea" because Brighton and Hove is it's own unitary authority?

Can we stop singing "seasiders" because we're not Blackpool?

Seriously this is the most laughable thread ever. I bet we must be the only club with supporters that constantly moan about everything and it's no wonder other clubs fans take the piss out of us in here - some of you deserve it.

"And the shit goes in THE SEA , THE SEA , THE SEA"

 

[c0lz]

yes because its impossible to turn the word north into west or into east

singing different versions hmm , god knows how it would sound to the away fans, the idea i thought is to get all stands singing together

Who are the others? Norwich City with "On the ball City"?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Yeah , its us and Norwich who have totally unique songs out of the 92

My post was a bit tongue in cheek, but if the west is so upset about it, with their massive numbers they could easily drown out the north

I thought O the Lads was a ripoff of Newcastle's Blaydon Races?

Personally I don't like the We're the North Stand.... song so I just join in with the WOAH bit. That said, if it stands the test of time it will surely join the ones you've mentioned in the song book.

I'll repeat my appeals for the following to reappear:

The Celery song

My eyes have seent he coming (Glory, Glory Bright'n'ove Albion)

She wore, she wore, she wore a yellow ribbon (maybe only for cup games or the play off semis)

That one where we used to jump around in the North Stand: Da da, da da, da da da da, da da da da da, da da da, da da da, da da daaaa (someone said a few weeks ago that we did it at Pompey but I wasn't there)

Also grateful if we could avoid that one Man City (and seemingly Leicester) do - it looks like they're all muching out each otehrs' bums.
