Oh we're going up, AND WE'LL win the Cup...

[Gilliver's Travels]

Tonight? And Saturday? Please?


Start LOW* and sing SLOW...


*Anyone got a Vuvuzela? That's the spot-on starting note for your derr-derr-de derrs!!

What the f*** does it matter.

Good old Sussex by the sea!!!

Will fall on (tone) deaf ears I'm afraid. The one good thing about singing it so fast is at least that nonsensical 'to win the cup' couplet can't be heard.

I think we should sing AND we're going up to win the cup myself. As it's the words.

the song is in the D Major key, so its quite bright and airy!

Its actually starts on a D so not too deep for all you young baritones out there.

A thread like this is done for literally every game - it's safe to say it will be sung quickly tonight and saturday.

Don't be ridiculous man! Most young men cannot sing top F#'s (only castrati and those freaky tenor types )... it needs to be in a much more profound key... I would go for Bb major myself!

Maybe because having Albion fans unable sing their own club song - to the point of not knowing the words, having to change key twice along the way because they started it off way too high - and trying to get shot of it at 100mph - makes it all sound a bit crap?

Maybe.

Maybe just letting the vast vast majority show there support by singing the club song (albeit incorrectly) without about 1 in 100 singing like they're in a church choir and waving some printed of lyrics around in a strop, would be better?

We don't sing it like we used to. It's not going to change so deal with it.

I'll add that doesn't mean I wouldn't love us to sing it traditionally. I just don't think it'll ever happen nowadays.

The original score is in C, Dave. But no matter, the [ B flat ] vuvuzela starting note still makes the whole thing perfectly singable in one key - even for testosterone-fuelled, eager young South-Standers!

Here's the link - start practising now!!

Or, see how the Army deals with it - no church choir here. Pity we need Lancashire Lads to show us how it's done!

Nothing wrong with being a freaky Tenor
