Match Day Thread Vs Burnley (H)

The whole song? Well yeah.
I spent my childhood, adolescence and a large part of my adulthood singing it.
Of course, I'm ancient enough to remember Gerry's record, which probably helps. Though not the original Carousel version (before anyone starts)

 

Apparently I used to sing 'And don't be afraid of the dog' when I was a kid, so my sister tells me.

 

Wise words to be fair.

 

I do.... just saying.

 

As long as you didn't sing about the sweet silver song of the shark.

 

Then your a better man than me saint.

Helps your old of course me I'm 21

 

As do I. But I've always liked oldies so would have known them from that if not watching pool.

 

Fair enough.

But I'm sure some/most think they know all the words but don't.

 

I also see no issue with having them written down. Bit snobbish to think everyone should know everything off by heart. I don't really know words to most of the songs sung, especially some of the older classics, but I'd rather someone bring words to help sing along than stand there silently all game.

Its not a problem of people not knowing the songs it's the problem of people who go there sit silently for 90 minutes with perhaps the only noise a tut or groan when we do something bad.

 

I think most would know YNWA but see my above post, I don't know any of the others really but don't see it as huge issue not knowing words.

 

I was brought up on classical music and never heard any old songs unless it was queen who my step dad loved.

Oh and dire straits.

That was my musical up bringing lol.

 

I like classical music as well. I've got Khachaturian on atm.
No words to remember.

 

Is that some kind of clothing for old people?

 

Must admit. I was bevvied in Dublin about a decade ago on an MBA residential and there was this Blue ****e police inspector from Woolton on it (sound bloke, tbh), and I THOUGHT I knew all the words, so for a bet of a pint he asked me to sing it all (this was after I did Poor Scouser Tommy word perfect). **** me, I got to 'At the end of the storm, there's a..., an er, golden, er...' . Of course I knew it, but I just couldn't think under pressure!

It was probably @saintKlopp himself in that article ... senility plays havoc with the memory once you get to around 90. So I've heard, can't remember where though

 

Either learn it before hand or don't bother singing it all, taking a hymn sheet is ****ing cringe.

It's like a Catheeeedral

 

I was at Oktoberfest a few years ago with my daughter and a disparate group of mates. In one of the halls where they have an all day sing-song she and I started singing YNWA - essentially to piss off one of our Manc mates. A Hong Kong member of our group picked it up, and an Aussie - then little pockets of the 5000 or so people around the hall (of god knows how many nationalities) started up until the hall rang with it.
The Manc was livid.

 

I did Poor Scouser Tommy at some Maori place in NZ where they signed that treaty (Waitangeri? can't remember, I'll google it later). They thought I was a ****ing nut!

 

So's your place - like Coventry cathedral when it got bombed.
