Great pub song pre match not sure the verse is great for a football song. Then they cut the best bit short. Meh

After Wembley, when the song was played in full and I only knew the words to the chorus, I learned them for next time. It was great to carry on to singing the second verse yesterday - it’s the first time I’d done it. I read the message above about holding scarves up and maybe we should do that too - it looks great when Hibs fans do it singing Sunshine on Leith. I hope to be able to belt out all the while song at Wembley soon 🩵

Its not in the same league as Sunshine on Leith

Not many are to be fair.
If only we had speccy twin song writers in our support who could knock up a terrace classic.

Be careful, people will say it's not about Coventry.

what is wrong with saying a song that is not about coventry is not about coventry?

you have a weird obsession with things having to be "cov", you'll never walk alone is not about liverpool, blue moon is not about manchester and it doesn't really matter. why do you need to pretend it's about coventry? it has no impact on it's value as a football song

I reckon it needs tambourines

My original post was a tongue in check response to someone saying it's 'ours'.

it's ours only because the market for clumsy 00s landfill indie pastiches of that's entertainment isn't that big

like the Scousers do for YNWA.

That's a popular one by the Village People isn't it?

I’m very confused (normal due to my age !) but I both clap and sing . Should I not be doing either ??

You should able to do whatever you want with it haha. Amuses me how annoyed people can get at how other fans choose to celebrate. Personally I think it’s a great song and fantastic to have an anthem associated with the club. I always sing the Eton Boating song, but have never been a fan of the tune itself.

Sky Blue Tambourines, doesn't work as well? Green however.

Talking of the eton boating song/sky blue song - it was another version they played last weekend I think. Not the old school one that had been playing recently, but a more Glenn Miller/bluesy style one?
Unless it’s the same one and it just went on for longer?

Don’t think I noticed a difference?

Thought it was the usual one.

Yeah it might have been and I paid more attention to it?
It’s in the latest city unseen.

Aside from everyone seemingly clapping to their own personal rhythm about 5 seconds in I like it, I particularly like that the lyrics 'toilet smells of desperation' are part of a song used to gee up a team before a match.
