Oldest song you remember sung at the lane

[Rodley]

I'd forgotten about that one- it was one of my faves

What was the tune?

 

[kevreedy]

When an opposition player took a penalty and missed,
he must be fucking pissed followed by the player's name.
another good un.
Wednesday reject Wednesday reject hello hello.
Another song included never had a wank since I don't know when.in the sixties/early seventies.
dint know what it meant until I sang it in the house and got a slap round the head from me mum.

 

[kevreedy]

sorry I meant he shot he missed must be fucking pissed

 

[Radders]

I recall one from possibly the late 70's/early 80's that went....
If I had the wings of a sparrow,
If I had the arse of a cow,
I'd fly over Hillsboro....
And sh!t on the bastards below, below....

I know the tune but can't think what the original song was called.

The tune was 'My bonnie lies over the ocean'

 

[Paisley Blade]

It’s the Tom Hark theme.
You tube it. A real ear worm.

Believe me , it isn't .

 

[Blade-on-Tyne]

Believe me , it isn't .

Scans perfectly with your lyrics

[Grappler]

I seem to remember a song, to the tune of "We're on the march with Wilder's Army", which was "Who's that shit they call the Wednesday, who's that shit they call the Owls", can't remember the rest.

Also.... "Eddie Colquhoun, Eddie Colquhoun, Eddie....Eddie Colquhoun, Eddie Colquhoun, Eddie.....", just repeated for ages.

and

Aye, Aye, Aye Aye
Shoreham Republican Army (we're barmy)
Wherever we go, we fear no foe
For we are the S.R.A.

and the classic

You're gonna get your f**kin head kicked in (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap,clap, clap-clap, clap- clap)

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Mid to late 70s, every home game just after kick off about 10 or so geezers rolled in after a few (probably many) ales, near the back, left hand side of the kop looking towards the pitch and sang:

I like beer
And I like cheese
And I like the smell of the westerly breeze
But most of all I like to see
BARE WOMEN!
(clap, clap clap)
BARE WOMEN!
(clap, clap clap)
etc

 

[Sean Thornton]

To the tune of Land of Hope and Glory.

I recall one from possibly the late 70's/early 80's that went....
If I had the wings of a sparrow,
If I had the arse of a cow,
I'd fly over Hillsboro....
And sh!t on the bastards below, below....

I know the tune but can't think what the original song was called.

Bring back my Bonnie to me?

Edit, already done. My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.

 

[Radders]

When the dirties used to chant Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, we replied with Reece, Reece Reece.

 

[Alf Tuppers Shorts]

What was the tune?

Death of a clown by the Kinks.

 

[bladestrivia]

When blades fans used to go on home teams kop they used wave like demented wind screen wipers and a shout would go up Shoreham s here Shoreham s there Shoreham x every fuckin were na na na na na oi

 

[kevreedy]

He i he i yow tuder is the king this what we sing.i think.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

I distinctly remember us singing Greasy Chip Butty at the league cup replay with Arsenal in 1971.
This is 100% as likely as a bloke writing it on a bog wall while taking a shit in Rotherham, despite Annie's Song not being written until 1973 and me not being born until '77.

Grappler I might be wrong here but I 1st heard this sung by Ipswich fans at their home ground, and we pinched it got to say it sound pathetic when they sung it like their beer at time Tolly Cobbold (YUK)

We haven’t had a goal since lunchtime
And now it’s half past three
So Tudor Tudor Tudor
Score another Goal for me

And of course
Ei, ei ei o
Up the table we wil go
When we win promotion
This is what we’ll sing
We all love you, we all love you
Tudor is the King

We hate Sheffield Wednesday

Leeds United were playing a friendly at Ibrox one pre-season, before I was born, maybe 87/88/89?
Their merry band of songsmiths were belting out a version, replace Shoreham with Yorkshire.
It didn't go down too well, I suppose some folks can mistakenly hear an I instead of a Y?

 

[Yewsman]

In Dublin fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I once came across young Molly Malone
She wheeled a wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Singing
(clappety clap clappety)
The Blades.
1974

Probably already on here already but have not read through it all. Same song but ended with M-I, M-I-C, M-I-C-K, Mick Jones

 

[Yewsman]

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

The version of the Ritchie song I remember is:

Alan Brown, Alan Brown
Is it true what Ritchie says
His iron lung
has broken down

(For younger supporters Alan Brown was then manager of the Oinkers)

 

[Yewsman]

Aye yaj yaj yaj
Hodgey is better than Yashin
Mick Jones is better than Eusebio
and Wednesday are in for a thrashing

[Hodgey = Alan Hodgkinson
Yashin = Lev Yashin famous USSR goal keeper
Eusebio famous Portuguese footballer]

 

[kevreedy]

I think this was in the early seventies.
Alan Clarke superstar walks like a woman and wears a bra.

 

[kevreedy]

I could not stop laughing when coppers were walking towards the kop.and the fans started whistling the laurel and hardy tune
Fuckin brilliant.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Not a song, but:

2-4-6-8
Who do we appreciate?
U-n-i-t-e-d
United, United, United (repeated for ages if we were winning a big away match)
Simple times. And always hard to work out who started it by chanting ‘2’.

 

[Lawrence]

Tudor, Tudor, Tudor
Score another goal for me
Tudor, Tudor, Tudor
We’ve seen him on tv
We haven’t had a goal since lunchtime
And now it’s half past three
So Tudor Tudor Tudor
Score another Goal for me

And of course
Ei, ei ei o

Cheers Eskimo, Definitely remember it now

I remember going up to see United at Carlisle. I specifically remember the weather was terrible all week, deep snow with games being called off all over the country, we felt certain that a game up in the north west would definitely be off! Three of us got the 6am bus from Swinton to Sheffield Bus Station to catch the Sheffield United tours coach to Carlisle. We arrived still expecting the game to be off? the cost of the travel was 4/6d? and we were told that if the game was called off their would be no refunds! to cut a long story short I remember approaching Carlisle the sun was shimmering blindingly off the snow and Bright blue sky! THE GAME WAS ON. United won the game 1-0 with a goal from John Tudor.
A large contingent of Carlisle thugs had surrounded the three or four coaches in the car park, I remember them throwing stones at the coaches and, the only way to get to the coach was to walk straight through them! and on leaving the car park the back window was put through! memorable day - 18th January 1969 (9,717) League Division Two.

 

[Bartleby]

Just remembered this one, from circa 71/72

I hear the sound of distant bums
over there, over there
and do they smell
like f**king hell

to the tune of

 

[Alf Tuppers Shorts]

Not 100% but was Shanks pony a song that was sung .
I don’t envy the rich in their automobiles, the motorcar is phoney I’d rather shanks,s pony. As said not 100% on this .

You’re correct. At last someone else who remembers this (I posted above) so I wasn’t dreaming. What year would you guess at Alf?
My guess is that it dates back to when the floodlights were installed because of the ‘by the light of the silvery moon lyrics.
I don’t remember before 1964 but my grandad used to regale SouthYorkshire with United songs from the seat of his Bedford Van (Drivers sliding door open to help dispersal of fag ash ) before then and this was one of them.

For me probably 1970. Strolling , just Strolling by the light of the silvery moon , I don't envy the rich in their automobiles , the motorcar is phoney I'd rather shanks,s pony. It was sang pretty regularly for a couple of seasons but very early 70s.
