Chart songs that became United chants

[Blade In Flame]

Used to love this one

Fun fact: The great Sir Richard of Blackmore (Ritchie Blackmore) played the little guitar fills on that track.

 

[Blade In Flame]

When the ball hits the goal
It's not Shearer or Cole
That's Asaba.
When the ball hits the net
Like a fucking rocket
That's Asaba.

Yes,I read that on the Wikipedia page.
Just listened to the Silicon Teens version,like that as well.

And Heinz were in The Tornados, first UK band to have a No. 1 in America, alongside Matt Bellamy's dad.

Knights of Cydonia was based on that song.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

What about all the great suggestions we've had on the forum for new player songs?

Surely loads of them have become big fan favourites

 

[Nick Jansky]

Blaydon Races
Oh mi lads you should have seen us runnin
There we were in red and white, there we were a runnin
There was all the lads and lasses there,all wi smiling faces
Runnin down Shoreham Street, to see John Harris's aces.
(don't know if this borrowed from other clubs)

It’s Newcastle United’s song. We adapted it.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Not a Chart hit but..

Nobody puts the Ball in the net like Edwards , Keith Edwards

Another non chart song but the Robin Hood theme for Ady Littlejohn which was used for Ryan Giggs by Man. United, the point being totally missed by them.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

It's nice to know you're here,
It's nice to know you're here,
It's nice to know you're here,
F*ck off!

(To the tune of On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at, when the otherwise silent opposition fans decide to sing a song.)

Bit of a preview for something available later this week:

Nice one, I'll have to check that out. Always thought Knights of Cydonia had a surreal 1960's sci-fi TV theme vibe about it.

You're not on about Telstar, are you? Or am I way off track?

Yep, Telstar. Reyt choon.

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Production ahead of it's time, by Joe Meek. But that's another story
