Wheeeen the.....

[sully]

The problem the original Zamora song has is that nobody ever knew enough verses to prevent it from dying on its arse after a single line. If people actually picked up several lines of it, then it would be worth doing.

Some bloke was trying hard at Southend earlier in the season:

When the ball hits the net like a ****ing rocket
That's Zamora

When the ball hits the goal, it's not Shearer or Cole
That's Zamora

Only one hunded grand for the best in the land
That's Zamora


...then some other verse that I can't remember (somebody remind me...). Which would be enough to finish the song.

The bit you've missed is

When the ball flashes in its not Phillips or Quinn it's Zamora.

It went before

It's a goal it's a goal it's not Shearer or Cole it's Zamora

The one hundred grand is also now out of date. It just needs a complete re-write!

 

[Soulman]

We need a famous current prolific goal scorer whose name rhymes with "goal". I think that's the problem.

Been racking my brains, which did not take long.....maybe as it was Shearer and Cole, leave out the double names and replace with Sergio Agüero......best i can do.

The problem is, today's Premier League top scorers aren't quite such impressive names, are they?

When the ball hits the net, it's not Vardy or er...Callum Wilson, that's Zamora...

 

[Morvangull]

How about 'it's not Rooney or Kane' it seems to scan ok.

 

[nwgull]

We still sing about seeing the Brighton aces down the Old Shoreham Road, so why not just stick with the original, even if it is out of date?

Bizarrely, I heard the Zamora songs - the 7 nation army and Dean Martin versions - being sung as I was walking across Manchester city centre tonight!

Doesn't need a rewrite, it's fine as it is. Don't understand the need to change. Some of the finest football anthems are old songs.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

When the balls in the goal,
It's not Frazier Campbell,
It's Zamora!

 

[sully]

OK, I've had a go at an update. The last bit might need some work, so please don't shoot me for trying:

When the ball hits the net like a flying* rocket, it's Zamora
When the ball flashes in its not Sturridge or Ings, it's Zamora
It's a goal it's a goal it's not Kane or Defoe, it's Zamora
He came back on a free just to fill us with glee, that's Zamora


* we have to think of the children!

Just doesn't rhyme

Keep it as it was...before you know it, somebody will be trying to re-write Sussex, Sussex by the sea.

Agree, nothing wrong with original lyrics.

 

[Megazone]

Just doesn't rhyme

How about:

It's a goal it's a goal it's not Alireza Jahanbakhsh it's Zamora

 

[tommyseagull]

When the ball hits the goalski, its not ronney or lewendovski..its zamoooraaa

Just flows off the toungue

 

[tommyseagull]

My spellings terrible...

When the ball hits the goal, it's not Andy Carroll
That's Zamora

Only no hunded grand for the best in the land
That's Zamora

 

[Guy Fawkes]

How about 'it's not Rooney or Kane' it seems to scan ok.

That could be the second verse

When the ball hits the net like a ****ing rocket
That's Zamora

When it flies in again, it's not Rooney or Kane
That's (it's) Zamora

 

[Postman Pat]

When the ball hits the goal it's not Ronaldo it's Zamora.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

When the goals start to rain, it's not Costa or Kane.......it's Zamora!

That works. We MUST have the original Zamora song or variation of back at the next home game.

 

[martin tyler]

When the ball hits the net like a ****ing rocket
Its Zamora

When it flies in again its not rooney or kane
Its Zamora

He joined on a Free, much to the fans Glee
Its Zamora

He's come back to the club where we all love
Zamora

 

[W.C.]

Who's that man from Barking, London
Who's that man we all adore
That's Amore was his song
And when he got that pass from Bong
We don't sing it properly anymore
