Chants of old...And new (3 Viewers)

[oscillatewildly]

Brief and very much of the 'moment' - Away at Ayresome Park, late 1980's. We were getting dogs load of abuse from the locals. For those not old enough or just don't recall - around this time there was a major investigation into alleged child abuse within families in the area, dubbed 'The Cleveland child abuse scandal'. Kids were being placed into care in large numbers.
Somebody had the bright idea for a song which soon ripped through our little corner terrace - "Where's yer children gone, where's yer children gone"?

I'm sure that would have gone down really well with the lurcals!

It was at this moment our 'tests' revealed the town of M'boro did indeed suffer SOHF - 'sense of humour failure'.

The sky blue song without the repeated anyone when did that became a thing,Tottenham or Chelsea united or anyone (anyone)

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

I seem to recall a period in the 1990s where every away game seemed to produce a great new chant....

"Team of Breens" yellow submarine & the "Chippo, Hadji,... Chippo, Hadji, Hadji, Keano" to the tune of lip-up fatty by bad manners were two of those that proper caught on....

Was certainly in it in the early 80s!

 

[usskyblue]

The East Terrace used to sing ‘Mow-a-Meadow’ (one man and his dog, spot, suckmycock’, went to mowameadow)

East Terrace and West Terrace used to sing ‘give us a song’ to each other...and then both would boo the Main Stand when they tried half heartedly.

Really? East Terrace (or otherwise) used to sing 'One man went to mow'? That's a Chelsea song of yore. Don't ever recall us singing that one.

It was when it was all standing on the East Terrace, away fans to our left.

I completely remember one man went to mow chant during mid 80’s in the west end, I think we sat in WT6 to the left of the goal and when it was quiet a bloke behind me used to sing it on his own very loudly but had his own lyrics!

One man went to mow
Went to mow a meadow
One man and his dog “Spot”
Bottle of pop
Suck my cock!
Went to mow a meadow.......

As a youngster I used to howl with laughter!!

OK. Really don't recall that one. Then again, I was 'out of the loop' for large spells 1983 -1987.

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

The 87 season we sang....."We're going to score in a minute...." and we usually did!

 

[oscillatewildly]

"City score, City score, if you get one you'll get more". Whatever happened to that one? Did its demise coincide during large spells of not even getting one?

I remember that. The main memory of that game that I have was that the police let their dogs run wild in the bottom terrace of the home end to stop their fans running onto the pitch. It was like Beirut.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Did we have an Ndlovu song to the tune of the umbungo advert

Ndlovu Ndlovu Ndlovu scores and we want some more not one not two not three not four Ndlovu scores and we want some more.

I remember the song but I think it was to the tune of the 'Banana Boat Song'. That would make for an interesting remix to the tune of the 'Um Bongo' ad!

You are correct it wasn’t the umbungo tune just been singing it in the shower but I think the words are about right it’s been a long time and unlike teams like Man Utd our fans don’t really sing about past heroes.

My All time favourite is a Man City one sung to 'lord of the dance'

Sven Sven wherever you maybe
You are the boss of Man City
You can shag my wife on my settee
If we win a cup at wemberley

Sven Sven wherever you maybe

Could easily adapt that for Robins

'Sven, Sven wherever you may be,
You are the boss of Man City,
You can shag Mark Robins on my settee,
If we win a cup at Wemberley'.

[oscillatewildly]

And with the correct lyrics, I may add.

You never joined in - You were always destined, weren't you?

Yes - that's why I would regularly sing that song during the pre match warm up.

I recall this... vaguely- remind me of the full song...please?

 

[wingy]

I recall this... vaguely- remind me of the full song...please?

I used to sing "you'll get four"

Remaining lines went " I'll see you assembly when we get to Wembley so score Ci-ity score".

 

[ricohroar]

Haven't heard the long echo from the old west end of Cccccccccccccoooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntttttttttttttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy for years, was the start of the old Mercia Sound football program too.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Away at Brizzle City in 2012:

'He stinks of piss and he's got no mates, Gerken is his name'

 

[Ring Of Steel]

“Who needs Cantona, when we’ve got Wegerle” was one of the more optimistic ones

Bertie mee said to bill shankley
Have you heard of the north bank Highbury
Shank said no I don't think so , but I've heard of the west end aggro!

You’re right, it was West End Aggro, I’ve heard it sang ‘ Matt Busby said to Bill Shankley’
