You see that’s the problem with City youth nowadays. Spending all their cash on Stone Island instead of tickets for West End musicals like the old school chant writers did…
To be ‘sticky’ you’d have to just edit this first post by adding any actual newer songs. Same as OLM does with the transfer threads, so your first post is the place to go for bemused chanters. So far I think you have… Woke up this morning feeling fine Thoughts of Hull City on my mind Rosey's got us playing the way that I know we should Oh yeah Something tells me I'm into something good Fabio Carvalho Fabio Fantastico Ole ole Ole ole Don’t think it’s been mentioned, but feel free to have Hey Hey baby I wanna know o o o o Alfie Jones
Remember Kev very well, lived further up Park Avenue from us and was a year above me at school. Good rugby player as well. Didn’t he join the army? Didn’t actually know the Woodhouses but knew them by sight and reputation. Am I right in thinking that your sister went to Bridlington school then?
I went to meet em off the train Loop de loop de loop I hit em with a ball n chain Loop de loop de loop He had a knife I had a gun Loop de loop de loop You should have seen the b'stard run Yep we actually sang that ****!!!
Mid-80's Hum...ma...ma Hum...ma...ma (to Double Dutch, Malcolm McClaren) That one took a bit of learning
Another classic has sprung to mind! we hate Nottingham forest, We hate Liverpool too, and Leicester We hate Man Utd But City we love you. The tigers The tigers The tigers
We had joy we had fun We had (name of whoever we were playing) on the run But the joy did not last As the bastards ran too fast.
I think maybe the problem is lots of modern songs are too **** to turn into chants like that. No wonder the most recently sung one at City is to a tune from nearly 60’s years ago!!! {walks away slowly looking for his glasses and trying to remember what he came in here for anyway}
Songs with drum machines, synthesisers and auto tuning do not have the same sort of rhythms. And fans in the 1960s and 1970s were a lot more creative in adapting the songs of the time.
Only us oldies remember that song was a Cookies original, written by the great Goffin and King. They also did the original of another Goffin and King number which was one of my favourite tracks of the Beatles first album.
And the chant that doesn't even scan: Give us a H (followed by u-l-l C(often extended to cccccc), i-t-y) put them together and what have you got? 'The Tigers'
