"Oh When The Saints" - Worldwide Renditions

I came across this video posted onto the Southampton Australian Supporters Group on Facebook.

It shows the army of Papua New Guinea singing OWTS - (starts at 0:55) - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=682736345114358&set=o.188516634508187&type=2&theater


I wanted to ask, who else around the world sings the song - and who has the best/most unique versions of the song when they perform it?

I'm talking international football clubs, armies or anything else!

Spuds obviously...it's their song after all.

 

I just emailed you about this.

 

"Oh Farnborough town, is wonderful"

Yes. Yes it is.

Also

"Oh Roland Rat, is wonderful"

I don't get that one.

 

I don't understand the question. It's gospel hymn and a (maybe THE) jazz standard.

The New Orleans Saints. Providence College. Saint Joe's. Every musician in New Orleans. Every high school marching band in America. Church choirs and chorus groups everywhere. Thousands of jazz bands. All sorts of people and groups everywhere sing it, you could never list them all.

 

I've got a video somewhere of kids in Kenya singing oh when the saints from when I went with the foundation

I've seen a few videos of this team signing it, better than anything Ive heard at Stmarys!

 

What we really need is a superstar called Owen.....

 

"Knock knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Owen"

"Owen who?"

"O - wen the.." etc. etc.

 

That's great. I think someone posted some of Ugandans and Zambians singing it.

 

There's one from Gambia which has been posted a couple of times before.

 

I must've meant Gambia, and said Zambia. Whoops.
