Classic Football Chants

[Pevenseagull]

Sheff Utd's take on John Denver's 'Annie's Song' is pretty good:

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Magnet
Like a packet of Woodbines
Like a good bit of stuff
Like a night out in Sheffield
Like a greasy chip butty
Like Sheffield United
Come thrill me again
Lala La La Uuurgh

 

[Pevenseagull]

'Gauntanamera' is the source tune for loads of standards

e.g.

sing when you're winning
one F in Fulham
and 'thank you for coming' from Fans United day

 

[John Boy]

'And they called it Brighton,
Brighton and Hove Albion FC'

to the tune of The Wild Rover.

And

'Albion,
Oh Albion,
Brighton and Hove Albion'

to the tune of Red Flag.

 

[SussexSpur]

Chicory Tip's legendary "Son Of My Father" gave birth to "Oh Teddy Teddy, Teddy Teddy Teddy Teddy Sheringham"... and many more less worthy versions, I'm sure...!

Christmas is always enjoyable but I always especially like hearing Christmas songs or carols during which my brain replays familiar football lyrics...
Eg
"Hoddle, Hoddle, Hoddle, Hoddle, born is the kind of White Hart Lane"...
Or: "Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little lord Jesus sat up and 'e said: Georgie Graham - is a wanker - is a wanker..."
Or: "Hark now hear the Tottenham sing, the Arsenal run away, and we will fight for evermore, because of Boxing Day..."
Or: "There's only one Jurgen Klinsmann, only one Jurgen Klinsmann, walking along, singing a song, scoring in a Klpinsmann wonderland".
Actually, that one's a bit shit. I prefer the version referring to Arsene Wenger's happy disposition while carrying confectionery...

 

[Icy Gull]

One that made me chuckle and appeared somewhere on NSC earlier week was the West Ham fan with the signature along the lines of

When the ball hits the head of the bloke in row Z that's Zamora


I assume that's also sung to the tune of That's Amore

 

[Horses Arse]

you look in the dustbin for something to eat
you find a dead rat and you think its a treat
in your northern slums, in your northern slums!

you piss in the shower
you shit in the bath
you finger your gran and you think its a laugh
in your northern slums, in your northern slums!

your dads in the nick
your mums on the game
in your northern slums, in your northern slums!

you look at your dog in a frisky way
you give it a f*** and you throw it away
in your northern slums, in your northern slums!

 

[Horses Arse]

we are brighton, we are brighton
we are brighton from the south

and your wife is on the game

we drink campari, we drive ferraris

[geoffreyp]

Tiny Tim's classic
Tiptoe, thru the north stand
with your boots on

so tiptoe thru the north stand with me

or something along those lines

 

[Kev the Ape]

My garden shed is bigger then this it has a door and a window, my garden shed is bigger then this, my garden shed is bigger then this my garden shed is bigger then this.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

We sing a song about going down the Shoreham Road - and we sing it to the Geordie National Anthem, which will forever belong to Newcastle United.

I wonder if there could EVER be another club's chant set to the tune of OUR national anthem - GOSBTS.

 

[smudge]

Never forget being in the White Horse End at Selhurst in the late 70's & hearing WE HATE PALACE booming around the ground.

Happy days

 

[The Timekeeper]

To any Northern Club...

You go out you drink 12 pints
and get completely plastered
You then go home and beat your wives
You Fuckin' Northern Bastards

 

[Thimble Keegan]

Other than the Brighton bits I believe that to be a Wimbledon song.

Norwich have to be top of the charts for this as they have come out with 3 quality songs:

1) "Worst Support We've Ever Seen" - Obviously we have now adopted this and sing it at every away game despite that at Withdean it is the worst support anyone has ever seen.

2) "Health & Safety, Health & Safety, Woah, Woah" - An excellent response to when the Withdean stewards tried to make then sit down in the away end.

3) "We Shoot Burgulars" - To the "Oops Upside Your Head" tune. This is a brilliant reference to loony farmer Tony Martin defending his property against a Chav attack.

I do not think we should overlook ourselves in this as the way we have turned the gay chants around is bloody funny.

Albion & England forever.

[Mr Fridge]

programme on BBC 2 tonight about old films someone claimed that the chant, "Who ate all the pies", comes from a chant made to a Sheffield United GK who was 6'2" (big for 1902) and 24 stone big by any standard.

Apparently when he joined SU he was around 12 stone.

 

[chip]

I was born in the north stand,
Now boots are made for kicking, thats what there going to do,
If you come in the north stand then we'll kick shit out of you ...

Other than the Brighton bits I believe that to be a Wimbledon song.

RUMBLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Got the shit ground no fans book of fotball songs for Xmas and the wimbledon one made me chuckle - never heard the latter verses of the northern slums one before, made me feel quite ill!!

 

[the wanderbus]

the old " go left go left go left right left
go left go right go pick up the step
go left go right go left
whereever we go
people wanna know
who we are
so we tell em
who we are
we are the famous
the famous Brighton
so f*** off palace
or you will die"
had about 3 variations including he shot he scored it must be Peter Ward .Now that was real poetry!

 

[Gully]

Was the goalkeeper the famous "fatty foulke"?

One of my favourites, not an Albion tune but one sung by Dunfermline to Cowdenbeath fans to the tune of the Adams Family:

They're dirty and they're smelly,
they come from near Lochgelly,
they have'nae got a telly,
the Cowden family.

Any Albion tune sung loudly and with passion is fine by me, I didn't get my voice back until Wednesday this week following on from our efforts at Sheff Utd, mind you the culprit was screaming abuse at the ref about rugby tackles...

 

[Yorkie]

I was born in the north stand,
Now boots are made for kicking, thats what there going to do,
If you come in the north stand then we'll kick shit out of you ...

I have to say that Wolves have the best version of that

I was born under a Wanderers scarf
I was born under a Wanderers scarf
Do I know where hell is
Hell is in West Brom
Heaven is at Molineux and that's where I am from
I was born under a Wanderers scarf
