What has that got to do with our version of the song sung (mainly) by the north stand at home games ? especially as it has very different lyrics to those used by St Pauli and any one else who sings it and it happens to be based on a on a song by Rosemary Clooney that dates back over 60 years
How old is Blaydon races, it that tune far too old to sing if I will follow him is too old a song to use. Who else sings a version of Blaydon races? shouldn't we stop singing that too just in case we suddenly get associated with those other undesirable clubs even though we sing it as Brighton Aces?
Our words are very different so what does it matter who sang there own version of it first? or has everyone suddenly become too self conscious and worried about people seeing them singing and enjoying themselves?
You're missing the point. Brighton fans like to moan. I really understand that now, it's in many peoples blood, terminal in some instances it seems. We've a good team, stadium, manager, food etc. So some now have to moan about something else. Even if had the best of everything, someone would start an official it's crap being the envy of the Planet because e.g. we're not the envy of the galaxy.
If you are referring to me then you are wrong, I've said on here that your Joy Division song sounds good. This is because the original song is song is good, the original "I love you" song is an abomination.
sensitive? You be pot and I'll be kettle. What a funny guy!
been off line for a while would this joy division song be love will tear us apart? in a " craig, craig will tear you apart... again!" if so this would be friggin awesome, obviously insert any name you wish

St Pauli/Celtic/Palace/IRA scumbag song.
I wasn't specifically referring to you, I think there's a lot of it in this thread. Although this excellent quote from another thread might beg to differ!
touché. That was palarse-baiting though.
Do you like the original version of the song then?

Erm, I don't think it's amazing, but I don't mind it. Personally I first heard it at a Republic of Ireland away game, so it holds good memories. Think me and John Boy tried to get it going a few years ago at an Albion game somewhere (possibly after a few beers). People are entitled to their opinions but its a stolen song like many others - lots of people clearly enjoy singing it or it wouldn't keep going. The Palace thing is absolute rubbish.
afcb fan here in peace
have only read the first post about the Ultras song, no others. I was shocked to hear this song from your fans at the Leeds game. As a complete neutral really thought it was a Palace thing having heard them adopt it in the early days (a year or so ago)
shocking really ..hope you get it sorted
best wishes
