That Chant From Chesterfield

[Kukev31]

I thought the chant was great. It was fun and original, and got everyone singing.

Absolutley amazing, sung non stop over and over again for 10 minutes at a time. It got all 500 singing like we have never sung before. It will never be sung like that at withdean unfortunatley

but singing like that is what being a fan is all about, get behind the team by creating a racket


also good to sing some of the old goldstone north stand songs again

well done to all that sung their hearts out

if anyone had doubts about following the club, yesterday would have returned your faith

here here!

The atmosphere was great yesterday and this song (although not to everyone’s taste!) certainly helped.

Anyone know why this particular chant was sung, it would be good if it hasn't come from the TV (i.e. soccer am) and we are the only ones who sing it, to other teams amusement / annoyance! Although it might not be to ones taste, at least its original (I hope (to the extent that I’ve never heard another teams fans singing it)) and not just a song/chant that everyone copies, a la “easy easy”.

Standing at Chesterfield station getting the train north to Manchester it was still being sung on the opposite side of the platform at 6.30.

Marvellous scenes!

when frutos goes marching down the wing
carole, carole

 

[Beach Hut]

Good song and really great atmospere as well - good day all round

 

[Mendoza]

How about trying to change the words to suit ourselves, something like:

When Brighton come marching home again,
hurrah, hurrah,
we'll cheer them at Falmer stadium then,
hurrah, hurrah,
the east will cheer and the west will shout
with sussex pride our hearts sing out,
and we'll all feel xxxxx
when Brighton come marching home.

I am struggling with the bit where the the x's are, could leave the word gay in as a sort of tongue in cheek gesture, but I did manage to get the word pride in.

its all well and good changing the words,

but the only reason it took off and was sung by everyone was that there were no words and it was easy to sing

if we put words to it, no one will really know them and less people would sing it, meaning less noise, meaning less of wilkins telling us we are fantastico

 

[Biscuit]

The Seagulls flew in two by two, Brighton! Brighton!

 

[Dandyman]

No, that's "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord" etc.

Quite right - this is what I was thinking of...

As Senor Mendoze says it's best without any geeky words being added. The fact that is sung bass also helps of course...

 

[butchy]

wernt the original lyrics:

'the palace came in one by one,
and one by one they all got done,
tra la laaa laaa laaa laaa'

The chant was started by the "left side" before the "right side" joined in. More people participated as all you had to do was hum or la la and add Brighton & Hove Albion at the end , sounded better with the clapping as well. Heard a rendition of Tiptoe through the North Stand which my son said "I dont know the words to that one" which made me laugh.

So we've ruined an already existing classic, "Frutos running down the wing, Carole, Carole"....

wernt the original lyrics:

'the palace came in one by one,
and one by one they all got done,
tra la laaa laaa laaa laaa'

THAT is class!

 

[ac gull]

Brighton and Hove Albion
laaaa laaaa
laaaa laaaa
Brighton and Hove Albion
laaaa laaaa
laaaa laaaa

was far superior to the usual "albion, albion etc"

 

[Turkey]

Whats the song that goes..

La La La La, La La La La, Wheeeeey Ayyyyye, Brighton Hove Albion

(on repeat).

Remember everyone singing it at west ham in the league game there. And this one sounds similar but too a different a tune.

Thats the one. I think thats good too. Everyone can get involved on that and unlike Alllllllllllllllbion you dont lose your voice after one chorus.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Alllllllllbion is RUBBISH.

Yet for some reason, it's by far our loudest song, which EVERYONE joins in with. And everyone says they hate it...

 

[Yorkie]

isn't it a GARY GLITTER song originally?

Bananarama did it.

 

[ali jenkins]

I think everyone joins in with Allllllllllllllbion because everyone knows the words and if you dont know them there pretty easy to pick up for the second verse.

Same as seagulls, seagulls, seagulls
