Songs

When you look at Liverpool, Stoke, sunderland, Birmingham and a few others who have one anthem that they belt out it's always surprised me s bit that we've never tried it with an Elton John song.
I may be doing many a disservice and they'll tell me they have but it would make us stand out a bit. I just had in my head how brilliant it would look and sound to hear and see half of the Vic singing Your Song.
I'll leave it there...

 

Yes, but I wouldn’t want it to get like Palarse and ‘Glad All Over’. Hate that bloody song when they sing it.

 

There's a reason I never mentioned them I really hope Doncaster pull it off this weekend. You just know what's going to happen...

 

You will not get me up onto the roof of the stands to kick off the moss. Just saying!

 

I have always thought that "Dream the impossible dream" should be our song it fits our recent history perfectly

 

Yep - i go with that if you send the words out don't really care what it is but would be great to have one song that stands out from everyone else. And before I get any flack I think the singing section are great - it's not about that but rather having one belting song.

 

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through.

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.

Would that be overdoing it a bit?

I think they tried this a couple of seasons ago when SEJ stand was opened...didn't really take off. Now here is something that I have thought of but never written it down....SEJ is fabled for being able to write a tune to practically any lyric, I remember him once throwing tune together around the instructions for a microwave oven!!! Anyway, do we have any budding lyricists that can put some words down and we can ask the great man if he could put a tune (that would get the Vic rocking) together for them?

 

I know but they all join in so it comes across loud

 

Great idea - and we have to spend the Richarlison money somehow!

 

The words to Dream the impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march
Into hell for a heavenly cause

Sums up everything that has happened to us since I started attending matches in 1968

If we could sing it like the Kop sing you'll never walk alone

 

*DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENED HERE RE SENDER ,BUT ITS FROM oldnickhornet *

A bit of showing off here-you'd have had to have actually SAT on the roof etc
Alternatives:

Saturday Nights Alright For after match drinks (Fighting)-except that theres rarely Sat p.m games anymore
I'm Still Standing- for rebels who dont want to sit at matches
Something About The Way You Look Tonight -when theyre losing 6-0 in an evening game (as if ! )
Tiny Dancer -for Wilf Rostron or for the over 25s ,Tommy Harmer
Goodbye Yellow (Brick) (and black/red), Vic Road, if they ever plan to move elsewhere
Dont Let The SON (of Tottenham FC) Go Down (On Me) in the penalty area
Sacrifice would change to Sac(K) The Board if results poor on the field

There would be more but shouldnt spoil everyone too much...actually my bet is likely this will go down like a lead balloon on here

 

I liked it

 

Thank you,very good of you cos your original post was obviously making a serious point - til i interfered

 

I've been posting on here on and off for nigh on eight years Nick - nobody has ever considered any of my points to be serious!

 

Its been said no one can be serious - and support Watford FC
