Are there any songs you WON'T sing?

[pork pie]

I refuse to sing any of those camp songs like "you're too ugly to be gay"! Total bollox for a football crowd.

I really enjoy our National Anthem, "no surrender", "in your Croydon/manchester/northern (etc.) slums" and "small town near ....", or any of that type of rousing song.

Having said that, I will probably join in most songs after a couple of pints, especially if we are playing well!

 

[Franks Wild Years]

That dirdgy "Albion, Albion"
Apart from it being a Liverpool rip off and sounding shit it's just never sung in my natural key darlings.

 

[Trigger]

Any of those childish H block things that only they think are funny.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I am really struggling with Kreuzige, kreuzige in the St John's passion by Bach which we are doing at Worth Abbey on the 11th April, so I suppose that is one thing I won't be singing again in a hurry!!

witticism, nil.

parochialism, 1.

 

[The Large One]

'Glad All Over' by Dave Clark Five

 

[Sweeney Todd]

At North Lancing School, in the seventies, we used to sing a hymn called "Over the sea there are little brown children". I doubt that it is sung now, even in so reactionary a place as Lancing.

 

[Icy Gull]

I Will Survive, not only will I not sing it I walk away or turn it off whenever I hear it.

Whatever! I was not trying to be funny - and football is all about being tribal and supporting your team with a passion. Or it used to be before tossers like you took over at Withdean!

 

[aberllefenni]

You're Welsh, and you know you are.

 

[little al]

GOSBTS. Don't even know the tune.

 

[John Bumlick]

Independent woman by Destiny's Child.

Hate that song

yeah, but the Elbow cover version is genius

[cheshunt seagull]

No surrender: can we please move on?
You're not very good: because they usually score at that point
Bright eyes: embarassing dirge

 

[Lady Whistledown]

"Worst support we've ever seen"
"Your support is f***ing shit"
"You're supposed to be at home"
"It's nice to know you're here...etc"
"Small town near......."


(1) Because we sing them at EVERY SINGLE away game no matter who the opponents, thus it probably isn't really the worst support ever, is it?
(2) Because it's shows no sense of irony whatsoever, given the generally pathetic atmosphere at our home games
(3) Because they're so bloody old and boring, and they mean absolutely nothing to the intended recipients.

If we're going to mock other teams' home support (and why not) then PLEASE come up with something vaguely witty or original.

Football may be about being tribal, I have no issue with that, but it doesn't mean we have to wheel out the same old unoriginal crap week in, week out. And the IRA are absolutely sod all to do with my tribe thanks very much, so forgive me for not joining in with that embarrassing 80s relic of a song either.

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

the one that goes to the tune of "my only sunshine" and ends"I never noticed have much
I love you until they take my INSERT NAME OR CLUB(usually Solschar by Man U fans)
until they take my INSERT NAME away".

So gay it must have composed by a closet homosexual

 

[Horsham Gull]

not sure i can ever bring myself to sing that adam el abd song anymore

[doncasterseagull]

the we filled you stadium song! shit!

 

[Deleted member 2719]

for me, "f*** 'em up, get in to them". usually because it means we're playing badly. but i can't say i enjoy gratuitous vulgarity.

I would say this is a great song to sing cos it must be a grreat motivator to all the players.

Vulgarity can be used very effective when not used to often IMO.

We are staying up

So what the f*** has 'No Surrender' got to do with supporting your team?
