This could surely be adapted. Also, if you get the chance to go see them live, go. You won't regret it. Just dress for the desert, because it's always a ****ing sweatfest.
i think he was on tour for the rearranged wedding so no one thought any bad of him. (dont tell him about the initiation bit though eh?)
Or this with more of a Hull connection. Can’t beat a Gibson Les Paul in the hands of someone like Mick Ronson or Peter Green.
There’s an old seagoing song called “ roll the old chariot”.. Just listened to it on you tube. Can imagine it on the terraces.. heard a lot worse.
if the decision lands on can't help falling in love, could someone PLEASE make sure burnsey knows it's the andy williams version and NOT the elvis version. thank you.
there's a story about this. city are having a crap season (we're probably talking the yawning abyss of mid-90s) and that effing survivor dirge is being played every match, but everyone thinks of it as the rocky theme. at the time every club in the entire universe played either the rocky theme (american) or tina turner's simply the best (american). every last effing club in the universe. and i was never a fan of either. anyway, mate wonders whether a different song might help, so rings the club and suggests tiger feet. so tiger feet gets played for a few games but the results stay dire. maybe not surprising as most of the players weren't born when it came out and they probably like whatever the crap music of the time was. the following summer a book is found. it's one of those that contains double-page info about each club, including all the usual stuff, like current players, ground, nickname, club records, etc, etc. so far, so good. on the hull city page, it mentions that city play tiger feet for the players to run onto the pitch, despite it only happening a few times. and then it adds a line, with all the biting snidiness it can muster, about someone thinking they were being clever for coming up with a song that had the club's nickname in it. and then, no word of irony, it wonders why we don't play simply the best or the rocky theme like everyone else. yes, the rocky theme, a song with the club's nickname in its actual title. you couldn't make it up. the twat's book didn't sell and we didn't find an edition the following season. mate likes to think the author met a painful end.
Change Hi Hi Hi to Hull Hull Hull .. and Beautiful Sunday to Beautiful City .. and you got your Acun link
As Peter Lee Stirling he wrote these two songs, a couple of my favourites from the Mersey beat (as opposed to Merseybeats) era.
in the car me and my lad are always "singing" the guitar bits to songs like freebird layla and all right now. dir nir nir... so when i say im trying to imagine 20 thousand plus doing it im not being smug or taking the piss as is oft the way on here but i am actually trying to imagine what it would sound like.
what you have to do with those is strip off the backing music and imagine just the crowd singing the lyrics in a football chanty kind of way. and i reckon the second one would sound good. i have some software - audition , that can create a crowd sound but it would take me ages and i bet there is someone on here who could create a 500 plus football crowd sound from likely songs so as to hear them as they would actually sound and not have to imagine.
