Chart songs that became United chants

[1973Blade]

RIP Paul Johnson, whose 1999 hit 'Get Get Down had the ultimate honour of becoming a United chant for Kieran Dowell.
Other chart songs I can think of that became a United chant are:
John Denver, Annie's Song (obviously)
Boney M, Mary's Boy Child
Elvis Presley, Can't Help Falling In Love
Rod Stewart, Sailing
Beautiful South, Rotterdam
George Ezra, Shotgun
Ramblers, I'm Only A Poor Little Sparrow

Chicory Tip - Son of my Father.

Adam and the Ants - Prince Charming

I've had a mental block on who the Prince Charming chant was about?
Also

He’s a Blade, he’s a Blade. Sheffield Wednesday are nothing to be scared of.
Don’t you ever, don’t you ever, lower yourself supporting Sheffield Wednesday.

If we keep Jayden Bogle and we don't sing "We love Jay Bogle on a Saturday night" (I Love to Boogie), I'll have reyt face on.

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

Not really a chart hit, but Scott Joplin- The Entertainer from 1902.

My favourite ever terrace chant purely down to the fact that 'Diego De Girolamo' was the final line and fit perfectly

 

[Bath Blade]

I can vaguely recall No Limits by 2 Unlimited (one of their many hits) being sung, with the complicated lyrics of Flo,Flo…Flo, Flo, Flo, Flo…..

You'll have to count Silent out on this one.

Bert does indeed remember it and the reference to Wednesdayites.

 

[Argentinemanager]

10,000 wednesday ites dead on the floor, they wont come on shoreham street kop anymore. I seem to remember that bit of the song

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Boney M, Mary's Boy Child

I think you'll find that we were singing this chant long before Boney M got it in the charts.

It was previously in the charts when Harry Belafonte sang it. Got to No 1 in 1957. It's also a traditional Christmas carol

Was it

"10,000 Wednesdayites dead on the floor.
They won't come on Shoreham Street Kop any more"?

Its 'Home on the range'

 

[Cheets]

I can vaguely recall No Limits by 2 Unlimited (one of their many hits) being sung, with the complicated lyrics of Flo,Flo…Flo, Flo, Flo, Flo…..

I can only remember that being sung at Anfield on that famous day in 1994. The last line went "Who needs Deano?"

The song was Death of a clown - Dave Davies (Ray Davies of the Kinks brother) Sorry didn't see this had already been posted above - Doh!
