I do it at work. Any women hearing say I'm spoiling a lovely song. Blokes who like football think it's brilliant (I wonder why supporters of other clubs like it so much, excepting the snortbeasts and Liverpool? )
 
I do it all the time. Daughter had it at her wedding, did it. A bit embarrassing at funerals, but it has to be done. It helps if there's more than one singing. At family dos when six of us sing it, it's quite impressive. Still get weird looks though from the uninformed.
Funniest time was recently in Barbados, funny little guitar player in the restaurant was playing it as we walked in. Obviously we had to sing the proper words, much to the consternation of the upmarket cricket fans in the place :) Love it!
 
Too right, boys. Loud and proud!

I was actually mid-conversation with someone in the office. Needless to say I cut the conversation short and belted it out as if I was on t'kop...okay, maybe not that loud!
 
sung it at karaoke night in the emarald isle irish bar la florida orihuela costa 2 days ago
went down a storm , most had heard it , and hummed along
We're off to visit our daughter in five weeks. You start it and we'll join in ;)

Why have Liverpool got an issue with Annie's song ? As for the pigs, fuck em.

There was some poll done a good few years ago amongst supporters of loads of clubs as to the best football anthem ( no voting for your own) and the scousers assumed it was a foregone conclusion that there's would top the poll. It didn't and gcb did!

I remember arguing about this with some scouser once. He swore blind that Gerry and the Pacemakers had recorded a song written by Liverpool fans. I pointed out that it was actually from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical Carousel, but he said I was making that up. This was in the days before smart phones so the argument went unresolved.
 
As a kid growing up Annie's song was something I loved , the song brings me to tears whenever I hear it, fast forward to us creating the gcb and it's a nice touch, great double meanings now, it's an emotive song the original, and ours is just plain funny..

When they've burned me, my surviving relatives will walk out the place to that song... How do you fly a plane into a fucking mountain though..ffs..

It is quite amazing how if you hear it mid conversation, you just stop talking and start singing no matter how serious the coversation is.

You're right, he's wrong.

That's normally enough for a Gerry Marsden benefit gig hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck in Liverpool.
 
I think the reason it resonates with us older blades so much is exactly because so many of us have had it played at the funerals of someone close.

It brings a lump to my throat when it is belted out, yes because it is the blades anthem but also because I remember.

UTB
 
It still needs a second verse though.
You piss off my senses
like Nottingham Forest
like wolves at Cardiff
and the dirty Leeds scum
like Sheffield Wednesday
and the cheating Hans Segers
like Sheffield United
come fill me again..ooh

there you go..
 
About a year or so ago, TalkTalk used Annie's Song as the background music to their TV ad campaign. Remember the one with the 3D animated figures?

I would like it more what we are about than what pisses us off.
