[Football] Original tunes of notable chants

[Perry Milkins]

The 'We are the Brighton Boys' thread got me a thinking.

Can any football historian or plain know-all tell us/me what the underlying melody or tune is for these chants?

"[name of team] boys we are here, whoa, whoa, [name of team] boys we are here, whoa, whoa...shag your wimmin an drink your beer, whooaooa"

"Oh Gary Hart, Gary, Gary, Gary Hart"

"hit him on the head with a baseball bat"

The wiggle one about the North stand finishing "We are the Brighton North Stand"

yes but was the name of the tune?

 

[PFJ]

Number five is a variation of the Ramones 'Beat On The Brat' . Remember hearing it on the terraces shortly after it came out. Arsenal sang it at the Goldstone, and then we sang it.

 

[Titanic]

Knees up Mother Brown

The ‘Oh Gary Hart’ bit is to the tune of Elton John’s Crocodile Rock; the ‘Posh Spice is a Slapper’ etc bit is from John Lennon’s Imagine.

The Posh Spice one is "My Old Man's a Dustman" Shirley?

‘Posh Spice is a Slapper’ etc bit is from John Lennon’s Imagine.

it's certainly not, but I will now always sing it to that tune.

Posh spice is a slapper (der der der)
She really is a tart (der der der)
And when she's shagging Beckham (der der der)
She thinks of Gary Hart (der der der)
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace....you ohhh ohh ohh

You may say she's a slapper
But she's not the only one
I hope someday our Gary
Will put his finger in her.....mouth.
