Oldest song you remember sung at the lane

[Charlieblade]

Something about hanging Dick Wragg on a shithouse door .......

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

An old favourite. but not sung for YEARS! Bring it back Blades (if they ever let us in the fuckin' place again)

1 man went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
1 man and his dog, (Spot),
went to mow a meadow.

2 men went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
2 men,
1 man,
and his dog (Spot),
went to mow a meadow

(Carry on up to 10, with the 10th verse being sang especially loud!).

I have been known to song this on trains but "10 men went to shit (SHIT) went to shit on Wednesday"

His supersonic sausage dog also has a Blades tattoo on its nob.

Another away day favourite is 'Derek Dooley's wooden leg is floating down the Don' sing to the tune of 'saints go marching in'

 

[BobblesBlade]

“You fat bastard!”
“You fat bastard!”
“You fat bastard!”
Or
“Where’s your caravan, Where’s your caravan”

 

[Blade56]

Read through and two I don’t think have been mentioned......

We used to sing I’m forever blowing bubbles before w.ham with the last line..
Then like Wednesday they fade and die

and

Berttie Mee said to Bill Shankly
have you heard of the North Bank at Highbury
He said no, I don’t think so
But I’ve heard of the SUFC

 

[The Crab]

"You're gonna get fucking head kicked in" was always an old favourite.

Quite true Bert But went down less well when you tried it in your club during the Vintage Port tasting......

 

[Heffernans tache]

He's fat, he's round,
He weighs 400 pound
Fatty Foulkes
Fatty Foulkes.

He loved this song did William, he used to doff his cap and eat a ham in front of the Kop, to huge cheers and rattle waving.

 

[Kop sufferer]

A couple from back in the day - late 60's/early - mid 70's.
I love to go a-wandering, if wandering's the thing
I love to go to Hillsboro' just to hear (insert relevant manager's name here- Danny Williams or Derek Dooley) sing
...Oh Ive got a lovely bunch o' dozy cnuts....

In their Liverpool slums ,
In their Liverpool slums
They look in the dustbin for something to eat
They find a dead rat & they think its a treat
In their Liverpool slums

And a particularly harsh one for John Ritchie, who played for the pigs from 1966-1969 & sung to the tune of Grocer Jack (Excerpt from a Teenage Opera) by Keith West 1967 - youngsters you'll have to Google it
John Ritchie, John Ritchie is it true what Wednesday says
Your iron luuuung
Has broken down

Dont ask why



I

Wasn't Ritchie the bush kangaroo?
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate, I can recall Villa fans singing it late 50s, they had cardboard cutout numbers in claret and blue, very classy at the time I remember.
Nowadays I always smile inwardly when we play Forest, scabs, scabs scabs.

 

[S64 Blade]

Not the oldest song, but the first song I remember hearing at my first game, was the good old 'United, United, United'. I don't recall GCB being sung at kick off (this was 97, so not sure if this was a 'thing' then?).

I do remember being a bit taken aback by the chanting. My dad hadn't really prepared me for it, but I soon got used to it and enjoyed singing along.

 

[Paisley Blade]

Immediately after scoring in the mid 70's the Kop would always 'sing'

Der de der
Der de der
Der de der de der de der
Der de der der de der der de der

I can sing it in my head , it's to the tune of a popular refrain, but I'm buggered if I know which one.

I've got earworm with it now.

Cheers.

 

[benn5712]

Whip crack away. Dead wood stage Doris bleedin' Day.
Made some appearances at away games

We love to see United win away...
repeat
Blades win away, oh Blades win away... etc so on, such like.

Might have been in 80's during doldrums years.
Even a point would have been welcomed.

Kraftwerk?

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Wonderful, wonderful Jimmy Hagan (to the tune of 'Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen').

It carried on,
Wonderful star of the Lane
What a merry sight when he's inside right on a Saturday afternoon.

 

[Bayingblade]

"Georgie Best superstar,,,,,,,carries a handbag and wears a bra".

Hands up if you were there and sung that song to Georgie,god bless him.

I thought it was "wears frilly knickers and a playtex bra"?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I thought it was "wears frilly knickers and a playtex bra"?

Nope.

 

[43.nm]

"Come over here,
Come over here,
Have a go o oh
Have a go"

&

"Come & av a go if you think your hard enough"

&

"You're going home in a fu##in ambulance"

Those were the days

they don't write em like that anymore

 

[chapelblade]

Aye, aye, aye-aye
Hodgy is better than Yashin
Mick Jones is better than Eusabio
And Wednesday are in for a thrashing

 

[Igor]

Sung in the early 80’s at away games.

To the tune of “Food, glorious food”

“Ale, wonderful ale,
Wards, Stone‘s and Tetleys,
night after night,
I‘m taking back empties.
When I go to the pub again,
I feel a quiver,
when I go to the lavatory,
ITS LIKE A RIVER” (loud)

I think there are 3 verses. Not quite sure of the rest.

 

[HillStreet Blade]

We've got Alan Alan Alan Woodward on the wing on the wing.
We've got Alan Alan Alan Woodward on the wing on the wing.
Alan Alan Woodward,
Alan Woodward on the wing
Alan Alan Woodward,
Alan Woodward on the wing

What a wonderful player, my second favorite after TC. Would be worth £50 million+ in todays values.

 

[Pedro Verde]

And a particularly harsh one for John Ritchie, who played for the pigs from 1966-1969 & sung to the tune of Grocer Jack (Excerpt from a Teenage Opera) by Keith West 1967 - youngsters you'll have to Google it
John Ritchie, John Ritchie is it true what Wednesday says
Your iron luuuung
Has broken down

Wrong lyrics (Ritchie was never on an iron lung)

Alan Brown Alan Brown is it true what Ricthie says your Iron Lung has broken down

 

[Alf Tuppers Shorts]

Sure there was one to the Banana Splits theme tune, only remember part, something like tra la laa, la la la laa,one with a hammer one with a rock one with a crowbar fastened to his cxxk. Deffo other parts to it?

 

[McDonagh Blade]

A very old one that an auntie taught me about Jimmy Dunne being a fine Irish lad, the best centre forward that United ever had.

And if he doesn't score a goal, we will put him on the dole and send him back to Ireland in the morning.

Seems a bit harsh, i have no idea what they would have done with Connor Salmon or Craig Beattie

Utb

 

[Cassius Kray]

If this was ever sung at matches it was before my time, but another one I was taught as a youth:

We are the pride of all Yorkshire
The cock of the North
The toast of the Midlands and London of course
We only drink Ward's beer and bottles of brown
Sheffield United's in town nah nah nah

 

[N20 Blade]

Oh Sheffield is wonderful
Oh it is for United
Sheffield is wonderful

 

[N20 Blade]

Bastard, Bastard, Bastard, Bastard...

 

[N20 Blade]

Oh we are the Sheffield United, we play in the Red, White and black. Oh we are so proud, we sing out aloud, Division One we will be back '.

Loved this under DB back in the day, wish it had been sung under Wilder to the 'Premier League we will be back'.
Always reminds me of that day in Leicester 5th May 1990.

One I remember went,
Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the great Pele
He said no I dont think so
But I've heard of Tony Currie.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

My grandad used to sing that to me when I was a little lad! Not thought about that for years

I taught my daughter from a very young age the "if I had the wings of a sparrow ..." Song, obviously swear words were replaced.

 

[Grecian2000]

Na Na,
Na Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na Na,
Na Na Na Na Na Na Reece!

 

[kevreedy]

ziga zaga ziga zaga oi oi oi.
up down turn around kick em in the head..up down turn around kick em in the bollocks.
Does your mother know your here.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

Singing at the Lane
we're singing at the Lane
what a glorious feeling
we're winning again,
Wilder is appy
and we're appy too
we're laughing and singing at the Lane.........
