Funny chants

pavb2

And such a limited repertoire of songs most of which have been around for some time:

Sloop John B - Beach Boys

Go West - PSB or Village People

Guantanamero - ?

Oh my darling Clementine - ?


You can easily get a full 90 minutes + time added on for those 4 alone

Outrageous, Ted.

Wouldn't it be nice to commemorate those people - by keeping their music alive?
Suppose we were to borrow that tune for our chant. It would help us out and commemorate their memory at the same time.

Not really the point I was making whatsoever, but if you felt clever typing this then fair play to you :pac:

Who's to say that x fans didn't actually copy y fans, but instead just reworded the original song in isolation?

I think its a trivial enough thing to be giving out about, imo, when all chants are just changing the words around to actual songs.

Unless you're simply giving out about chants such as "players name, he scores when he wants, ____, he scores when he wants", etc, which are heard in most grounds around the UK.

I wonder do people know that most of the chants they're posting are just nicked off other clubs with the player/club name swapped in. Something English clubs are awful for I've found.

No, we never realized that.

When you're completely copying patter off someone else it becomes less good. Diminishing returns and all that.

Take that Maxi Rodriguez one above for example. It's been done before, Brighton fans with Elliot Bennet for exampe, They've just put Maxi's name there.

Not saying you can't put a fresh spin on chants, just grates me a bit when I see fans patting themselves on the back over the 1000th cookie cutter chant that plagues English football. Originality is always better IMO, and just because you're taking the tune from a pop song or something doesn't mean it's not original in this context.

Tbh, that Maxi chant was one of my favourites. I don't think too many Liverpool fans are bothered, or perhaps even knew, that Brighton did it before.

I get your point, though.

One I remember that makes me laugh to this is the time LFC played Newcastle and the Liverpool fans starting singing to Alan shearer that he should have stayed on the Telly.

"Stayed on the Telly , you should have stayed on the Telly"

Now that is good, funny, imaginative and original.

I remember hearing about a funny chant where the fans where singing to the opposition team. Lets use this as an example

Aston Villa fans chanting to QPR fans

"you're going down, you're going down, you're going down"

QPR fans sing back

"so are we, so are we, so are we"


Cant remember what two teams where involved but you get the drift....

When Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 9-0 in the 80s, the Palace fans chanted...

'Oh lucky, lucky,
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky Liverpool.'

Best bunch of fans i ever came across, tbh. Hope they stay up.

In similar self-deprecating vein, Man City fans when City were losing & about to be relegated to League 1 (those were the days...):

"Are you watching
Are you watching
Are you watching, Macclesfield
Are you watching, Macclesfield"

Newcastle - Liverpool game well after Bellamys alledged texts to Shearer ...

Newcastle fans everytime bellamy got near the ball....

"Shearer says you're ****!"
