****The Official 'Let's keep the We Love You/Ultras Song' Thread****

[Shooting Star]

Whilst I have two hours to kill before my next seminar and it's pissing down outside in the Midlands, thought I'd start this thread I'd been thinking about for a couple of days.

I personally really like the Ultras/North Stand/We Love You song. The backlash against it after the Palace game has been misconstrued by people. Is it because we realised it's a horrible song, or simply that Palace sung their version better than us? It is the latter. Therefore, why cave in and admit that Palace can sing a song better than us? If EVERYONE in the Amex sung it, it would not only have drowned out Palace's, but it would have even put their home version of it to shame as I believe the Holmesdale sing it (yet very well). There is no reason why we can't make it sound good. Hell, even in it's current capacity, it sounds half good on the radio/highlights.

But obviously, there needs to be changes made to it.

NSK needs to realise that the only way to make it successful is to change the lyrics to preferably;

We are Brighton, Brighton, Brighton,
Brighton and Hove Albion, Hove Albion, Hove Albion,
Hove Albion from Sussex, Sussex, Sussex,
Sussex By-the-Sea, Sea Sea
etc

There is nothing wrong with the song. It creates an atmosphere and the newly proposed Magicko song basically includes 'woahs'. These are undoubtedly more original lyrics than Palace's, which I think are limp to be honest. The song would then include, Brighton, Albion and Sussex by-the-sea, all elements of every other Brighton song we have.

NSK has to lead the way though in changing this if they want to keep it alive. This way the whole stadium can join in, and frankly, put Palace to shame when we rock up to Selhurst.

I wish there was a LIKE button. Totally agree with the whole post.

I believe many in the NSK are singing it with Brighton at the beginning now, I know I certainly am. This song will not be dropped entirely as enough people do like it.

I hate to admit it, but the palace version sounds brilliant because they all start simultaneously. it has impact. they do that 'woooaaaaahhh' thing before to get everybody going.

it just doesnt sound as good 'faded in', doesn't have the instant impact that song has.

.... it's pissing down outside in the Midlands....

Glorious sunshine from what i can see. Agree keep but alter this song.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Those words sound even worse to me! Time to let the song die in my opinion, people only join in with the woah bits and then it all goes silent before starting up again. Agree with giving new songs a go but we have embarrassed ourselves enough with this one. Move on

New words, brilliant. When NSK first came up with the song, the intention wasn't to copy Phallus, it just so happened that the mockneys up there sang it too. But with our new, all-inclusive words, it's a winner

Funny how opinions differ!

Not so lucky here in Coventry.

It's the Hove Albion line that sounds odd to me, might work when sung aloud but it just doesn't read well to me

Still sunny in my part of Coventry! Whereabouts are you?

Warwick Uni (South Cov, I think). Huge black cloud right above us! Hopefully it'll pass.

I'm in Westwood Business Park, just up the road! I can now see the black cloud, looks like it is heading your way!!

Saved me typing it!

 

[Max Paper]

Makes me cringe, sorry, it's a no from me

 

[Captain Sensible]

Since Palace game, its dead for me now. I just associate it with that game. Cant sing it anymore. Please just embrace the new Magiko song as its way better and wont be associated with Palace. Palace do it better because they do the oooohhh at the begining so they get as many as poss to start it straight away.
That needs to be done with the Magiko song too.

Looks like it's beginning to clear now thankfully, I can see blue sky!

And to those who think the 'oooo' is needed - do we do this for 'Aaaaalbiiiooooon' or 'We are Brighton from the South'? I wouldn't mind doing it at all, but it'd probably just cause unneeded confusion in the North Stand.

 

[Keyser Söze]

we have embarrassed ourselves enough with this one.

1000.2% FACT.

The dropping of the song and a group suicide pact by all the NSK and their supporters would do the rest of us a massive favor as well.

No need to slag off NSK, they're trying to get new songs going which should only be applauded. The fact that one song has worked out shouldn't discourage them, or anyone, from keeping trying new songs

first - agree, it's good and can be better - so keep it

second - NSC don't determine what is kept or not. people in the ground do, people need to get a reality check on that. lots of people like this but don't sing the words.

third - even fewer words, make this better and clearer

We are Brighton, Brighton, Brighton
Brighton and Hove Albion, Albion, Albion
Al-bi-on from Sussex, Sussex, Sussex
Sussex by the SEA, SEA, SEA
