Chart songs that became United chants

[de g.]

Lonnie Donegan took the song that became 'Magic Hat' to number one in 1960.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

John Denver - Annie's song.

(apologies if posted, I've got as far as end of page 1 and didn't see it. Most obvious one).

Righteous Brothers - we've lost that loving feeling. Apparently sung towards Terry Phelan (though I never heard it personally). First off it was 'we've got that Terry Phelan', but after he left it was changed to 'we've lost that Terry Phelan'.


Very short-lived was a Lady Marmalade rendition towards Jean-Lescinel Francois. 'Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, Francois'. Sang on a pre-season tour of Malta.

 

[1973Blade]

One of the worst chants ever. He deserves far far better.

He deserves the ultimate accolade of, 'There's Only One Billy Sharp'!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Well done man. Not long got rid of that Chirpy cheep earworm from Jonnie Walker show of a Sunday.

It's back now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't mention it. I'm always glad to be of service!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

And Pans People.

True. But weren't some of the dances crazy? In bathtubs and stuff!

Annie's Song was in the OP!

So it is!! That's what skim reading can do. And 3 hours kip. (I did apologise in advance though)

Was there one, "Just Like Eddie".
Whenever your sad , whenever your blue, whenever United are playing. Again unsure of artist but think song was a tribute to Eddie Cochrane ?.

 

[HVR]

Where's yer caravan?

To any opponent, away fan, programme seller, referee and anybody with long hair in the 70's.

Every bugger had long hair in the 70's.

Wasn’t at the Lane in the 1970s but, now you have quoted it, I do remember that song at school!

When Phelan and Nuddy left SISU, Villa fans were singing "you've lost Ndlovu and Phelan"...

 

[BushBlade]

Lots of chants but perhaps never bettered by ‘he’s got a lampshade, on his head’.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Hardly charts, but very popular opera. From Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi (Joe Green in English) is this piece. Tracksuit from Matalan was my favourite

 

[Goodpinchofclough]

You'll never get past simmo....

 

[Weasel]

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.

Loved this chant at the Lane when I was a pup.

The rest went something like...
We'll win the cup, we'll fight like fuck to keep the red flag flying.

Not Chants but songs related to the Blades



And for the oldies

Don't think Rose Garden was ever a song/chant that was actually sung by the fans, just played (start of 2nd half I think) by the DJ.

 

[DifferentClass]

New one tonight- Rhian Brewster to the tune of Don't You Want Me.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

In times of desperation..." All we are saying, is give us a goal..."

 

[DifferentClass]

How on earth did we miss the obvious Seven Nation Army, or as I will forever refer to it, Ohhhh David McGoldrick?

What's happen to music, i am so glad a grew up in the 70 s and the best years for music the 80's , proper music and bands , music has died now, it all died with pop idol , and x factor !
Wasn't this a song they played for TC and the team too at the ground i seem to remember it when i was a lad.

 

[Alan Birchenall's hair]

'Singing Aye Aye Hockey, Hockey Aye' to tune of 'She'll be coming round the Mountain'.....

When TC did do magic.
Rose garden when not.

Not exactly a chart hit, at least I don't think it was, but this one. It had wit, humour, pathos and a point for Adrian Littlejohn. Then the brain dead from across the great divide missed all that and started singing it for Ryan Giggs

Not very PC by today's standards though! "He's black as coal"...

Very true, never liked the line, but the wit behind using Robin Hood for Littlejohn should have made it unique.

"Jakey Wright Wright Wright" to the tune of Hot Hot Hot by Buster Poindexter.

Fun fact: Buster Poindexter was none other than David Johansen, lead singer of the New York Dolls
