Tigers tigers into eye if the tiger for intro does for me.
Why not play rocky theme tune again instead of status quo when we win?

I like McBurnie a lot. He’s the sort of player you hate to play against. Always in the ref’s ear, winding the defence up, gets the crowd to react and even when 3-0 up, is pissed we concede
That higher or lower game is awful. Bring back the zorb race at half time when two fans ran across the pitch in zorbs to score.Yeah - and the clown on duty made a right Horlicks of the "Higher or Lower" game at HT
And yeah not a fan of the stand-in either.

It's Chumbawamba.
It's still wierd to me how they are defined by Tubthumping. I used to love dancing to them in Spiders in their previous music style; Enough is enough, Timebomb etc. they were a great alternative band.
Then they go quiet for a few years, and re-emerge with a "classic" chav song.
Caravan of Love should return because the lyrics are perfect, it's unique to us and it's pretty much a Hull band.
Tiger feet at the end if we win, I assume the stands immediately empty because of the Quo
I agree with your song choice but the fans stay for Quo , it ain’t about personal preference it’s about what works , have you seen Rangers fans do Penny Arcade , lyrics not discernible but bouncy rhythm .
I’d try Slade ‘My oh my’ maybe, got a good chorus but as they were Wolves fans I recall maybe we dont want it ? Black and Old Gold , pah! ‘ Amber undercoat !’ If you ask me .
Would you change it to Caravan of Hull? Or leave it? In which case, wouldn't that sound a little...soft (which, I'm fine with don't get me wrong, but telling everyone to join a big love in might not float the boats of some people or come across as intimidating)? I agree it's got a good "chant" vibe, just feels a bit too "Lighthouse Family" as Super Hans would put it
My choice would still be Happy Hour, especially after we win. It comes from the album London 0-4 Hull, it couldn't be more perfect. I do like Tiger Feet as a song, easy to sing.
I mean anything from the Spiders from Mars album would be fine if you're looking for a Hull connection but really we're limiting ourselves to the Housemartins, anything with Mick Ronson, or the other usual suspects.
Some of the music I'd like to hear before the game (if you haven't heard any of these, give them a try, you might surprise yourself):

lack of respect for the quo on here is shocking...
Caravan of love is absolutely the shout, a unique anthem to sing before we kick off that the people from Hull are proud of.
after having another listen
i do think caravan of love could be it
it has parts that would be really good for chanting, (far better than wise men say ) its unique
if given time, it could easily become our anthem
wise men say is just awful

Caravan of Love is great, I'd be happy with that added to the lineup, but in general I don't understand the clamour to change it all the time. Wise Men Say before kick off gets absolutely belted out every week, it's easily the loudest part of every match and it sounds brilliant. We shouldn't touch that at all. I don't care that Sunderland also sing it; we've sang it for decades, and there are other examples of a song being meaningful to more than one club.
The obsession with creating an "our" anthem seems desperate to me. You can't force that to exist. Yes, some clubs have a Blowing Bubbles or a Marching on Together, so what? Doesn't mean every club has to, the majority don't in fact, and desperately trying to be one of those clubs is much more small time than just being what we are and doing the things that have organically developed over the years for us.

Jean Genie. Great Hull connection especially when you hear Bowie explain where the entro to the track comes from.
The Spiders sat on the bus repeating “ bus bus bus we’re on the bus bus bus..

Caravan of Love after wins has to be the way
Yeah I don't think Wise Men Say is a bad choice, it's been around for generations and even if other clubs sing it, we drown them out anyway. Definitely keep it.
I agree it needs to be organic, anything forced is just naff. Like when Leicester started doing the Poznan because Man City did the Poznan because Lech Poznan did the Poznan. Be great if we had something like Iceland's Viking Thunderclap, but it would look **** if we just started doing it one day.
Livin' easy
Lovin' free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin' nothin'
Leave me be
Takin' everythin' in my stride
Don't need reason
Don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin' that I'd rather do
Goin' down
Party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hull
On the highway to hull
Highway to hull
I'm on the highway to hull

The intro to Thunderstruck would be fantastic as a chant during the game.
