    Do you want football records that the teams sang or songs that us the
    supporters sing.  Bloody good topic whatever.

    Chelsea will be welcomed to Elland Road this coming Saturday with a
    rendition of Que Sera Sera with different words, the gist of which is
    that Chelsea fans should really be shot (and the one in Grey in
    particular! )

In Dutch it would be:

169.31Name that song....SALES::THILLThu Apr 09 1992 18:2014
    Getting back to the topic here, there is this song that suporters at
    the FA Cup were singing and I never could figure out all the lines... 
    
    Weee're (mumble mumble)
    And we're going to Wem-buh-leeee
    And we really shook them up 
    when we won the FA Cup
    Cause [fill in the blank] are the greatest football team
    
    Everton supporters were singing this when I went to the Charity Shield
    in 1984, but somehow "an' we really shook them up when we won the
    Char'ty Shield" doesn't have the same ring to it...

169.32BLKPUD::WATTERSONPThu Apr 09 1992 18:2423
    
    Tom,
    
    it was originally about Scotland's 'crusade' in the world cup in 1978.
    
    We're on the march with Ally's army,
    we're all go to the Argentine
    and we'll really shake 'em up
    when we win the world cup
    cos Scotland are the greatest footba team
    
    substitute;
    
     Ally for any other manager
     Argentine for Wembley
     World cup for FA/ any other cup
     Scotland for a real football team
    
    Charity shield in 1984 - I was there, it was the day of Bruce's
    brilliant OG.....

    Thanks, I knew it was something like that.
    
    .32 I remember that one too. Seems to me there wasn't a whole lot Bruce
    could have done. He dove to stop one shot and as he was getting up a
    reboud hit him in the foot and deflected in. I say the Everton shooter
    was lucky, but at fault for shooting at him, when he must have had a lot 
    of open net to shoot at

    I went to see Billy Connelly live in Oxford last week. During the
    course of his set he asked the question, "Where do football fans learn
    the words and actions to their songs ?".
    
    Well, any ideas ?

    yeah, but how do they learn them?
    after all, they cant ALL make up the song at the same time,
    so is there one group that thinks it up and starts singing it, and the
    rest of the crowd learns the words and then joins in?
    ?!?!

    You always get one drunk who sings all game on his own.  The crowd just
    follow.  Also the Millwall fanzine The Lion Roars (TLR) got a song
    going for Millwall.  It was taken from the Queen song We will rock you
    but Millwall sing We are we are Millwall.
169.45BLKPUD::WATTERSONPThu Apr 16 1992 16:0719
    
    
    Is it a serious question ?
    
    Anyone that's been to more than a couple of games can soon pick up any
    songs - I suppose it's not that easy if you're just watching games on
    telly.....
    
    Here's the orignal words to 'Those were the days'

    well actually Ian, if you really need to know......
    
    Some hippy looking bloke sits in a darkened room for hours composing
    such classics as 'ere we go ere we go'. Once he's satisfied he then
    legs it down to the copyright office where he registers the song, next
    he types up x thousand song sheets in preparation for the target team's
    next game, then he distributes the sheets to all the other supporters
    and starts singing the new song - AND - here's the good part,because
    everyone has a song-sheet, they can all join in.......... 
    
    
    (x is determined by the number of supporters he's aiming the song at -
    for example, the classic 'Halifax, Halifax Rah Rah Rah' would only be
    aimed at a few hundred, while the equally classic 'we're on the march
    with Fergies army' would have been aimed at approx 10 million Man Utd
    supporters)

    Cantona has a single-cum video clip. He does not sing, there is a clip
    of him after winning the League title, at Leeds town hall balcony,
    saying "I luv you I don't know why but I luv you" (with le accent). The
    rest is fill-in synthesized stuff as always.
    
    Is it N�1 in the charts yet?

169.52Wembley '82 - Another F.A. Cup classic......XSTACY::TROCHEFri Nov 19 1993 13:0023
 I think that it was a duo called Chas and Mike who wrote a song about

 Tottenham's exploits on the road to the F.A. Cup final of '82. It goes

 as follows (everyone clear their throats and join in) -


	Tottenham, Tottenham, 

	no one can stop them, stop them,

	we are going to do it like we did last year.

 
 This is only the chorus and unfortuanately all that I can remember of

 this great hit. But still, it can be used for any occasion because it's

 one of those timeless classics.

169.53CHEFS::HARRISRGoosenargh!Fri Nov 19 1993 13:2339
    Actually, Spurs have had many classics released for their little trips
    to Wembley. Who can forget the classic. Ossies Dream ? The song in the
    lasn note was I believe the single released the year after (1982) when
    we retained the FA cup. The last offering was some turgid crap about
    when the year ends in one, but who cares as we won the FA cup anyway in
    1991.

  resist walking up within a few yards and singing "Ossie's going to Endsleigh".

    	and anything to do with the IRA. Many of the contributors to this

    Is that typo? Did you actually mean to say;
    
    'Being new to noting, I didn't realise the upset my posting of .60 would 
    cause, or that it would contravene so many Digital policies and

I would like to apologise for the songs and the Happy 
now comment but being new to noting, I did't realise the upset my posting 
of .60 would cause, or that it would contravene so many Digital 
policies and procedures.  Now this has been pointed out to me, I've
deleted the note and would like to apologise again to anyone who
found the note offensive.
