[Albion] Freed From Desire - vote here

[Superphil]

I think Wigan made it famous but weren't first. I can't remember who was though (and is no doubt up for debate)

Alan Shearer at newcaslte perhaps?

Bohemians, apparently

Bissouma song?

Sung by other teams. In fact sung in non league in 2018 https://www.expressandstar.com/spor...utton-coldfield-town-fans-unique-viral-chant/

Perhaps it should be Ferguson's on fire, since he came from Bohemians

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I think it should be Fergie.

Enciso should get a variation of the Caicedo song, as that won't be needed.

Enciso (aha)
He came from Paraguay (aha)
His goals will multiply
His name is Julio Enciso

Needs (a lot) of work

Got me thinking. I had an online discussion with someone on here about PRS payments to song writers & artisist.
For a song that was a hit way back in 1996 but died a death afterwards, thus probably removed from any payments. Would the writers still be making money on a song we all hear every week on TV & radio, despite not being an official played version. I'd be really miffed if it was my song and I heard it everywhere I went but got ziltch for it.

It's been such a team thing this year, I'd vote Brighton's on fire rather than 1 player.

In other news, it's a shame BDB didn't hang around a bit longer, so one day we could be singing

Burn, Burn, Burn
Odel Offiah
Odel Offiah

Oh well.

WTF? It's a WIGAN song - for Will Griggs.

Nicked by NI when he played internationally.

I believe the absolute original football version was created by those faraway Geordies for Mitrovich - as in ‘Mitro’s on fire’.

Yep, as mentioned above.

Being stabbed with a garden fork is better than Sweet Caroline.

If you say so.

I say we use it anyway. That's a perfect song for Odel alone.

If the club play it over the tannoy, the writer will get royalties, as it’s a public broadcast.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Too late. RDZ loves it, the team love it, and the fans love it.
It’s 100% better than Sweet Caroline.

Albion on fire!!!

All businesses that play music pay a set fee to the PRS for a license. The club will pay the standard £332 a year I would imagine. This covers all music played in public (except royalty free compositions of course). You can play one song a 1000 times and it wouldn’t effect the cost. For an extra £11 you can have live music too!

Interesting fact of the day, which I expect you knew. Tannoy is a trade name of the speakers used in public address systems. Looking it up I see they were used in WW2 and Butlins used their speakers in the huts of guests. Similar to the word Hoover which covers all Vacuum Cleaners. I doubt if any stadium uses Tannoy speakers but any anouncement or music is played, as you said, 'over the Tannoy'.

It’s like saying hoovering the living room. Force of habit for a long time.
I’ll go and sit in the corner.

Never heard of it. Is it an age thing?

You have.
