The St Pauli / Palace Chant Yesteray

You can say this as many times as you like. It doesn't make you right.

What a sad thread. Add this with the Beach Hut one complaining about the another song on saturday and you begin to wonder what goes on in the minds of some.

From the seats on saturday it sounded good. Couldnt hear any booing and people seemed to join in. If others want to hear or sing something else I dont believe anybody is stopping them.

I'm convinced that half of NSC just sits on its hands ready to froth the minute "stand up if you hate Palace" or that NSK chant starts up.

Don't like it? Just ignore it? Or sing something else?

I'm beginning to conclude what some people have already been saying for years - that NSC is not representative of our support. How else do you explain the well above-average noise created by our fans, both home and away?

I would like to add my vote to the idea of singing the Palace /St Pauli thing at the final whistle on the 31st, IF we've won.

Their precious little heads will EXPLODE with rage.

 

[CHAPPERS]

the simple fact is that palace sing it and palace sing it better than any attempt i've ever heard from our kids who sing it, which quite frankly means that everytime we attempt it, it turns out to be completely embarrassing.

It's not a song i'll join in with for the simple reason palace do it better, if it's attempted at shithurst they will surely just piss themselves laughing at our kids singing it.

It's gash, boo it, end of.

yeah

 

[Bozza]

It's a decent, upbeat chant that is clearly growing as more people 'get it'.

The originality card played by detractors is a load of bollocks. Would we have anything other than 'Sussex by the Sea' if we sought to only belt out originals and ignored cover versions?

I often wonder this. A lot of people on here moan about this song and that song, yet most of the crowd, especially at away games, seem to be singing them. Is it that the people who maon don't go? I don't think so, I think they just like to join in but then come on here afterwards and moan about it. Odd.

It's not that's it's not an original song that gets most people, it's the fact that whether they were first or not, it is Palace who have sung it for years and sing it rather well. If any other club had developed it and made it their own like Palace I'm sure most people would be well up for doing it.

All the while it's associated by many as a Palace song, it just won't ever kick off properly I don't think.

 

[ROSM]

What madness. Where would we be if Hendrix had said 'lets not bother singing All along the watchtower as Dylan's version was really rather good'?

Or if Mike Flowers Pops had said the same with Wonderwall?

Our club identity (seagulls) is only that as a direct result of their nickname and our fans coming back with something that rhymed. And it actually makes it better for this fact.

This reasoning therefore makes no sense in historical context.

And also, our version of this song is original in content, rather than Palace's word-for-word rehash of St Pauli.

Sussex by the SEA, SEA, SEA sounds good.

At the end of the day I guess it comes down to the fact of wheter you buy into the pa*ace bullshit about it being their song. Personally I don't, it isn't and never has been. In the last two weeks I've heard it sung by QPR, Liverpool and Man city, and they all did it better than the surrey nigels.

Not sure I agree. That was a witty response to their nickname and chant, this is a reworded version of a song that they are most known for singing, and do it far better than anyone in the country

Have heard loads of clubs do it recently too, but none have come close to Palace unfortunately

They have done nothing to make it their own though, they sing the same words as EVERYOTHER club, our version however except the woah hasn't a single word the same just words relating to Brighton Hove and Sussex that fit.

Its not the fact that its a Palace sung song. Its the fact that it just reminds me on a bouncing away end at the Amex full of Scum and Mongos in Blue and Red

Because it's not crap and it's not over-sung. But WTF is "mournful" about it?

What's upbeat about it then?

You honestly think 10-15 times a game is not oversung?

Ok, maybe made it their own isn't the best wording, but I have seen no one who sings it better than they do and for as many years as them. Therefore as soon as I heard us try for the first time this season, I (I realise this is where it splits everyone) immediately thought of it as a Palace song

 

[Drumstick]

Yes it is over sung and just the one single loud rendition of it a Peterborough was brilliant, It wasn't done again and it was better for it.

The more people join in the better it will sound.

The supporters who do nothing but moan about this song really need to get a life and get out more.
