E-I-O-U-A or whatever is the world's shittest song, not far ahead of other shit songs like "We're coming for you," and that fucking wank one from last season about Sammon and Sharpy, Che and McNulty. Addy-Addy-Addy Addison wasn't brilliant either.

There, a nice slagging of songs old AND new.

The reason those songs continue to be sung is the lack of anything coming through for the last twenty years. People complain about them yet are quite happy singing generic ephemeral shite that lots of other clubs do whilst dreaming of being Palace Ultras in red and white.

General lack of imagination in coming up with something new so let's slate the old stuff to cover up any deficiency of new ideas these days.

You only have to look at the new song threads on here to see that.

I don't mind some older style songs, except the one about not having a barrel of money and having a team of 70 year old men

I cringe when I hear it,

I would much prefer the raucous "United" clap clap clap
"United" clap clap clap

Than the moronic and more modern " Yerrrnniitted" "Yerrrniitted" Yerrrrnnitted"

Well I'm glad we don't sing them then, most football songs are honestly trash. We need to be creative with our songs, I've know said that before I know on here.
End of the day I'm not singing generic trash songs, since my football club is not generic.
 
My favourite chant was Tony Tony Currie. Three words and six syllables. Creative? No. Brilliant? Fucking yes!

EIEIO is the song of Hull, Swindon, Blackpool, Doncaster and all that wank. Let's not.

Personally find it synonymous with Forest. That was my first away game and boy did I find it intimidating!!
 
I used to like 'We all follow United' to the tune of Land Of Hope And Glory and also 'We Are Bladesmen' to the tune of Sailing, both of which we don't seem to sing anymore.

"Eieieio, up the football league we go"???

Might as well do a sodding morris dance while we're at it.

Those of you that know Tyler, did you ever believe he was a Morris Dancero_O. Next time you see him just imagine him as that:eek:.

I remember when i worked with a lad from Handsworth, He came in one morning raving about a song some blades in the Crown were singing . He spent the rest of the day singing many different combinations of it . This was 1984 so I'd say its at least 34 years old.

Much better than stupid songs about not having a barrel of money which make us look pathetically small time and delighted about it

You are denying your own history.

It was a song from the 70s when we had a great team which fostered a great spirit under Harris. It is nothing to do with 'small time'.

If you want to see a Sheffield team spunk multi millions on not-quite-good-enough Premier League 'stars' why not have a trip down to S6. They are most definitely not 'small time' and are probably the third biggest team in Europe behind Real and Barca, in their own minds.

Me? Well I'm happy to be a delighted small time tinpot Blade.

Interesting, because I love that old song. It's a nod to the heroes of the past - it's endearing and enduring.

But I don't know why a lot of people sing "We aint got Woodward and Currie", but somehow, in the next line, miraculously, we manage to retain the gainful employment of Eddie Colquhoun.:confused:

Bothers me too, that. The song is probably due a few alterations; all we need is a player whose name roughly rhymes with 'money' and another who has a four-syllable name rhyming with 'soon'. Either that or we go for a total re-write, starting with the line, "We ain't got a game-changing investment..."

Shouldn't this be in "cover versions that won't be as good as the original"?

Bloody kids.......

The 'we ain't got Woodward and Currie' bit is alright because we haven't any more, it's the Eddie Colquhoun bit that annoys me. It just makes no sense. All we need is a player that rhymes with soon. Is it really too much to ask, CW?
