[Tunstall Fred]

Love the Radcliffe

Sorry forgot to say its right at the end, so if you don't want the rest skip to last 10 mins

Yes the Salford choir made a bit of a pig's ear of it. It isn't sung Shef - feeuld United either!

 

[Harry's Game]

Went to see the move "Free Fire" on Friday very violent, very funny, and a major plot point is the playing of Annie's Song.. which I have to say I was not expecting.

 

[anglian blade]

"The perfect chant" - that's two titles in one weekend.

 

[Houso]

Thrill me again.

Maggots.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Maggots.

 

[Rodley]

Quite simply one of the greatest chants of all. But we've plenty others which are our own which should be celebrated and never be allowed to die:-

Barrel of Money
No Pig Fans in Town
Swinging a Pig
I'm a Rambler
Wednesday Bastards, Leeds Scum

 

[Kendal]

Wednesday Bastards, Leeds Scum

Might get a couple of thousand extra voices joining in on that one. Their hatred of leeds if on a par with ours of south Barnsley

 

[Grizzly blade]

I still prefer Gallon of Magnet....who's senses are filled up by a gallon of maggots FFS?

Whereas, your senses would certainly be filled with euphoria after drinking a gallon of quality beer.

Keen anglers

 

[Grizzly blade]

There's a lot of maggots in a gallon....and you warm them up i your mouth allegedly....plus the fuckers turn into flies! I fucking hate flies.

 

[lepton blade]

Packet of woodbines, pinch of snuff (tobacco products traditionally consumed with alcohol), night out in Sheff (more alcohol references), chip butty (sustenance following a night on the booze)
A:Gallon of magnet (strong beer)
B:Gallon of maggots (rediculously large quantity of bait for course fishing)

One of these answers is completely out of kilter with the consistent recurring theme of our anthem.

I rest my case.

 

[Blade56]

Dint know yu cud sound so posh singin!

Only listened to it from 58':30" when he declared it best ever football anthem. Where did pigs band come?

When fishing in Fermanagh, I used to buy maggots directly from the bloke who produced them in his shed. Having seen and smelt the production method.. I sing "Magnet".

 

[northsomersetblade]

No one would drink a gallon of magnet of their own free will, it's revolting stuff.

You need a gallon of maggots over a fishing session because you chuck so much in as groundbait. This was far more common behaviour in the 70's, when the song was created than it is now. I hereby plant my flag in the maggots camp

I'd have thought pinkies would have been better in the groundbait? Good times, before the boredom of carp ponds became fashionable...

 

[shorehamview]

Listening now. Best chant ever, although the choir singing it are fucking useless.

Them that could afford them used real maggots, they were the diehards. I fully agree about carp ponds. I did my time bream bashing but am far more likely to be found somewhere on the Usk system with a fly rod these days, especially now the grannom and hawthorn flies are hatching

Ah, but the pinkies kept them bream hungry.. but yes, there's much fun to be had eeking out the brown trout on the lazy turns of a quite stream.

Fucking useless is being kind. Murdered our song.

That's probably what John Denver thought when he heard our version

Hi Ho Silver lining - highest position number 14. Annie's Song reached number 1. Says it all.

Did they fill up your senses though?

Did they fill up your senses though?

Yes, indirectly

Brighton are a bunch of cheapskates...

They nicked Worcester's theme tune!
