Chip Butty Song

[Mad Mick]

The thread about Woodbine's, Magnet and Snuff got me thinking.
None of the things mentioned are imho peculiar to Sheffield, or am I wrong?
What would you say is peculiar to Sheffield?
Could be a new logo or fit them in the song.
I'd say:
Henderson's Relish
Wards or Stones
Barley Wine
Sheffield Fish Cakes
Owt Else?

 

[Wards]

a good dash of Hendo's is workable into the song.

im honestly not taking the piss here mad mick but if they were peculiar to sheffield wouldnt that mean we had never heard of them ?

Perculiar... particular

We can lay claim to the first football team... oldest football ground (Sandygate) and oldest professional ground (Bramall Lane).

More trees per person than any other city in Europe.

We're the "ugliest town in the Old World" according to a certain Eric Blair (George Orwell).

We made the Nazis look silly... when a little bit of rain meant they thought the tram tracks on Woodseats were the river Don and dropped all their bombs no where near their intended target of the steels works in the Don Valley. Silly Nazis.

We use words like "nesh", "mardy" and "breadcake".

Grandmothers are "Nannans".

We gave the world crucible steel, stainless steel, liquorice allsorts, jelly babies.

Over half the world's surgical blades are made in Sheffield.

And we have the world some stunning examples of how architecture shouldn't be done.

However, try working that lot into a song and you might be at it a while

.......And we have the world some stunning examples of how architecture shouldn't be done..............

The Town Hall "eggbox", the Hole In The Road, Kelvin/Broomhall/Park Hill flats, and more. Most sadly/thankfully gone.

still got the ugliest building in the world in the electricity sub station. Though have to say I grow more fond of it the older I get, I can't decide whether it's genius or utter madness.

Snuff mills weren't exclusive (if that's what you mean ) to Sheffield, but the Sharrow Mills were known for snuff the world over.

Magnet has never been brewed in Sheffield, and is probably why the original lyrics are "a gallon of maggots", relating to the large community who fish in Sheffield.

Maggots are traditionally sold in pints, and so a gallon would be eight of them. Zip onto the Trent or into certain parts of Lincolnshire, and the the only anglers you'll see are Sheffielders.

Woodbines were once popular as an unfiltered cigarette, much like a Capstan or Park Drive. I must admit though, why the hell they'd be incorporated into a song which would have been born in the mid-70's, I'm not sure.

Just testing yer.

 

[Mad Mick]

Yeh forgot about Liquorice Allsorts Linz.
Also should have mentioned Park Hill flats as that's where I was brought up. I remember when they were first built TV camera's used to film from all over the world, just to see streets in the sky. Not many years later they were seeing tellys in the sky, hitting the ground at a rate of knots.

This rhymes, instead of "like sheffield united come thrill again"
what about "we've got to wembley and will let you down again" ? na na na na na na na booooo

He Hit one he scored one
we got little jamie ward on
he scored against the piggies
and made them all sneeze.

And the only City where men call each other love without having to shag each other:
:thumbup:

I absolutely love calling southerners "love" and "duck". Makes them all uneasy!


Also, Rambo wouldn't have been half the unit without his Sheffield-made Bowie knife! (I do hope I've got that right )

Well the original Bowie knife, as wielded by Jim Bowie, was made in Sheffield I'm fairly certain.

Bugger....I must be going into the wrong pubs

 

[boo radley]

you fill up my sences,your always there for me,
I will always be with you, your the one i'll defend,
when the storm clouds are gathering and people are moaning
It's Sheffield United I'll scream to the end
