Sweet Caroline - Victory Song

[Postman Pat]

Albion’s band of brothers want to sing their way to the Premier League.

The Championship high flyers have adopted a Neil Diamond classic as their post-match victory song They will hope to belt it out again after Friday’s likely sell-out against resurgent Aston Villa at the Amex.

In The Argus today, former assistant boss Bob Booker describes Albion’s team spirit as the best since the early “us against the world” days at Withdean.

Sweet Caroline has become the Seagulls’ singalong in the changing room when the current tight-knit squad enjoy wins.

Winger Jamie Murphy revealed: “We have the same song every time we win. It has turned into a tradition.

“It just came on one day. I think it was halfway through last season when we were on a good run.

“It has turned into the first song that comes on when we win and everyone sings along.

“It’s just a little bit of fun so, if we win, you will normally hear us singing away in the changing room.”

A challenge for the North Stand??

 

[bhanutz]

That's my victory song when I have pulled some old granny in somewhere like Benidorm!

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Proper karaoke belter. Sing that in a packed pub and you are guaranteed everyone on their feet joining in.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

We have to sing it? Shirley?

 

[ManOfSussex]

Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would
But now I

Look at the night and it don't seem so lonely
We filled it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm holding you

One, touching one
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would
Oh no, no

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good

Oh Jamie Murphy... what HAVE you done?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Sing that in a packed pub and you are guaranteed everyone on their feet joining in.

Sounds a great idea, but if you've heard some karaoke that makes your ears bleed, I'll bet you'll have people on their feet joining in a mass exodus from the pub

Oxford United have been playing Sweet Caroline after home victories for a couple of seasons now.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

We don't need to put it on the PA, just sing it, the players would love it I'm sure?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

A big NO from me.

Is correct. Unless we get a drum like Reading's too.

 

[Return of the Rev]

What about playing it prematch with the words on the screens!

 

[dazzer6666]

Was the half time singalong song at Twickenham on Saturday too..........zero points for originality, and a fat 9/10 for cheesiness. GUARANTEED that nearly everyone will join in.

You wouldnt be in the ground to see it though...Unless they play it at Mile Oak or wherever....

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Everybody now........................... .

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Pinched from the Boston Red Sox who've been doing it for years and years.

Just let the players enjoy it, not have a binfest about what should / shouldn't be sung.
