What is the song that the Coutts chant is sung to?

 

[Grappler]

Fanks.

 

[Jon Bon II]

I think it's taken from the sound that they used to play when the TV stations closed down for the evening...

'C-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-utts'...etc

 

[Cassius Kray]

I'd never heard this song before last season, and I'm still not entirely convinced it ever existed, regardless of the video 'evidence' - which is, after all, almost unbelievably cheesy.

What really threw me was going to a gig last week and hearing hundreds of kids singing it at the front of the stage while waiting for the gig to start. Who'd have thought there'd be so many United fans in Camden?

In the defence of the song, as shit as it was, I've found that people born pre 1970 only really listen to Elvis, The Beatles or Northern Soul, I'm probably wrong, but that's been my experience over the past few years.

I was born pre 1970. I've found that most of the songs sang by Blades are based on songs from the 1970's and earlier!

Greasy Chip Buttie - (Annie's song) original John Denver, 1974
I wanna go home - (Sloop John B) original (Kingston Trio 1958) Beach Boys 1966
Oh we ain't got a barrel of money - (Side by Side) - Harry M Woods 1927
Jack O' Connell's magic - (My old man's a dustman) original Lonnie Donegan 1960
Oh when the Blades go marching in - (The Saints) Louis Armstrong 1938

Is this because people born post 1970 really only listen to Elvis, The Beatles or Northern Soul?

Because I wanted to know. Happen to quite like the sound of it if that's ok verbs.

That's a very good reason then. I didn't even realise it was a song. I just heard a loud bellowing noise, like the mating call of a Moose during rutting season. You should go to Canada you know - you would like it there.

That's fine and we are a broad church. Football fans are so much more cosmopolitan these days and we are happy to have all types in our midst.

What's the last line of the "Down the right, down the right, Kieron Freeman" song?

 

[TonyAgana]

...These three words mean you're gettin' busy: Whoomp, there it is!..."

That's four words, Steve.

Pretty amazed about this - thought it was just a random, made up thing. Wish we did the rap bits in between now...

It was from the early nineties. I recognised it straight away but I can't get my head round how a song almost twenty five years old and quite obscure became a football chant. I wonder if it's been used on a soundtrack for something modern, a TV programme or film?

I thought it was about time to pin my colours to the mast, so to say.

Is it original to us or did we pinch it from another team?

Don't know. I'm not aware of anyone else before us but if I said 'no' I'm sure someone will appear saying that Falkirk or Cowdenbeath or whomever started it. Or the pigs, they've started loads of songs.

I've told you FFS

Wot u on abaht?

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Knew the song straight away, early 90s dance tracks. Similar time to KLF, Black Box etc..

Actually thought the originally was ok, remember speedskating to it at the silver blades many moons ago.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I also think we'll need to keep footage of the chants as evidence. We know how our porcine neighbours love to steal and then call their own.

Look out for " 'Hoops' there it is " next season.

I didn't realise I was in a relationship with North Yorks Blade! I shall have to find a way to break this gently to my wife. I do hope North Yorks Blade is a woman though, otherwise I might just have to pack him early.
