US Army March

“Over hill over dale ( we will wreck the British Rail as the Shoreham goes marching along)

Still dead wood?

Two house bricks.

I really do think good songs are wasted on players, and as it’s turns out...managers. We only need half a dozen departures and most of our repertoire turns to dust. I much prefer songs about the club or the city. Like it or loathe it, the GCB song has lasted the test of time.

 

[Knackered Blade]

1968 Quinn the Eskimo by Manfred Mann.

Replace Quinn with Flynn.

 

[Cheets]

Joy Division - Love will tear us apart (Brooks will tear you apart)

And "Leeds are falling apart again"!

 

[Cheets]

"Singing The Blues" has been a hit several times, originally by Guy Mitchell in the 1950s. Blades fans enhanced it by changing the lyrics to "Swinging A Pig".

 

[Cheets]

The pre-fame Beatles had a No 5 hit in West Germany with a version of the traditional song "My Bonnie". SUFC fans use the tune for "If I had the wings of a sparrow..", most notably sung by a 'tired and emotional' Chris Wilder from the town hall balcony in 2017.

You’re right. My memory’s shot or maybe I was singing the wrong name all the time.

 

[borg elite]

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…..

Flo, Flo, Jostein Flo, Flo, Jostein Flo, Flo...who needs Deano?

 

[borg elite]

Probably the most ubiquitous football chant and not unique to SUFC.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Old Nat King Cole song ‘ A Bicycle Made For Two’ for Peter Swan at the time of the Wendy match fixing scandal

“ Swanny , Swanny , the coppers are after you
Etc ... “

Funny and clever .

 

[I should coco]

Cozy Powell - Na na na ("We are the SU, SUFC...")



Sham69 - Hersham Boys ("Shoreham Boys, laced up boots....." - a real lyrical twist that one)



Bad Manners - Can can ("Na na na na, he's a Blade and he's a Blade..." proper Blade classic)

 

[borg elite]

Jacques Offenbach ........ probably better recognised in the Bad Manners version of Can Can.
