New song to the tune of 'Salah...Mane, Mane'

I haven't got a clue what the Liverpool song sounds like, but 'Salah...Mane, Mane' sounds a lot like Middle of the Road's 'Soley, Soley' from a mere 1971.



Our words were:

'Oh Tony, Tony
Tony, Tony
Ton-ey Currey!'

Nowt new under the sun and all that.
 

Lordy....cheers for the welcome ;)

Knew I was probably going in at the deep end here. Can promise you I'm not a troll. Just a rookie to this particular forum!

But alright alright, it's a crap song. Let's forget this ever happened :tumbleweed:

As Brian would have said, not quite as easy as that, young man.

" The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on

Nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line

Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it "

If it's any consolation, I also started with a song suggestion and also got fucked. Welcome aboard.

They're forming a group now FFS :(
 
I think we should make a song to the theme tune of Last of the Summer Wine.
It's a simple, well-recognised tune with a Yorkshire connection.:)
 
some older Blades might remember a song by Mama Cass called 'It's getting better'

The lyrics for the chorus go something like...

And it's getting better,
Growing stronger,
warm and wilder,
Getting better everyday,
better everyday

a simple change of a couple of words, and we have a great homage to our esteemed leader

It's getting better......
Growing stronger
with Chrissy Wilder
Getting better every day (clap clap clap)
better every day (clap clap clap)....ad infinitum




I didn't bring a coat

That’s not a bad suggestion. It’s a classic (and classy) tune. I might compose the verse but nobody would sing it....
 
First-time poster so go easy...

I was at the Norwich game and first heard a Blades version of the Liverpool song. Can anyone confirm the words? I got...

We've got Billy..
du du du du du du
Oh, Lunny Lunny
We've signed Ricky Hoooooolmes!
? Not sure of the last line

Felt a bit derivative since the Liverpool song has only just been created (and got a lot of attention) but then most football chants are!

Top marks to all of the singing at Norwich btw. The invention of the 'take your time' song was genius.

The last line was...."and we sent Hanson on loan"
 
Neil Innes of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band would often open the proceedings by addressing the audience thus:

“I’ve suffered for my art for many years, and now it’s your turn”

There’s nowt new.....
 
Completely agree however, should we go down this route there are a few ground rules....

Song (that would be) unique to us ......well, can't say I've ever heard anyone else use it at football.
Specific lyrics for one player.
Tune we all know (might be stretching it a bit but I believe we're more cultured than we let on).
Easy words to remember.... there's only two.
Tune needs quickening up in tempo from the original (we have form for this).




Leon Leon Leon Clarke
Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke

Leon Leon Leon Clarke
Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke

(key change...although might be pushing it a bit)
Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke

Leon Leon Leon Clarke
Leon Clarke, Leon Clarke

repeat ad nauseam


Love that key change. I reckon we might make it in the major but there's only maybe one or two minor we could go to. Stick to major key change with fortissimo as emphasis unless you want to fuck about with singing lessons

Brings tears to my eyes.
 
"Sammy" would suit better for the first line really ( ... Salah > ... sugar).

But that's all redundant anyway now, given Samir's soon-banishment on loan to the wastes of Rochdale (or wherever).

Excellent :). I once stayed in a flat rented by a mate of mine, I think it was in Muswell Hill (?) that had previously been occupied by Viv Stanshall. The place had acid (lysurgic) bleeding from the walls.
