New chant - Shoreham St. Magnifique

[gsblade]

Written a new second verse to a forgotten chant from the early 60s- Shoreham Street Magnifique. A great chant that needs bringing back, with a second verse to commemorate the famous day we sent W******** down.



We’ve travelled far and wide!

London to Merseyside!

But there is only one place we want to be.

And that is Shoreham Street!

Where it is Magnifique!

And where the Wednesdayites,

Lay dead at our feet.



We sent the bastards down!

Off to the slaughterhouse!

Chansiri led, Burrows and Bamford finished the job.

Hear the Shoreham roar!

Now that we’ve settled the score!

Wednesday are dead, Sheffield is red,

Wilder the King



(Repeat)



I know the tune, but not sure what song it is. If anyone knows please reply with it. Slaughterhouse obviously a reference to pigs. Settled the score a reference to avenging Boxing Day. The last line being exactly what’s been settled by Relegation Day.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Yay - the first new song of 26/27! It's like the first Cuckoo or the first baby lamb.

Ok, it's nothing like those things.

 

[Russ]

A new old one.

Or an old new one.

Like it.

Obligatory swear word included.

What’s not to like.

 

[Rodley]

Like the idea, with a few minor tweaks it could catch fire.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

There’s nothing like a good chant. And that is nothing like a good chant.

 

[Cassius Kray]

Think this Joy Division track might be closer to the vibe this year:

Wilderness​

Joy Division

I travelled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there?
I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed

[Chorus]
I travelled far and wide through many different times

[Verse 2]
I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins

[Chorus]
I travelled far and wide through many different times

[Verse 3]
I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died
What did you see there?
I saw the one sided trials
What did you see there?
I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes

Well, I’d suggest all the words for a start.
If you can change all the words but reduce the word-count by 75% & find a tune everyone knows, maybe there’s a chant in there. Somewhere.
Apart from that - it’s a winner!

Then you end up singing the same songs as every other club and having no identity. I get that not having the tune doesn’t help but there’s not too much I can do about that because I don’t know what song the tune is based on. I don’t agree the words are way off the mark. We should have a chant to remember sending pigs down. Fair enough it might need a bit of work but even just bringing the first verse back would be ideal in my opinion. Think the original is a belter of a chant and not sung by every other efl club in the country like most of our songs.

Love it!

I am right to sing it to the tune of itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini... yeah?

Mate - I can see you’re relatively new on here so just to bring you up to speed a bit.
Firstly, no chant ever suggested on here gets any traction whatsoever & invariably, people resort to taking the piss. I’m no exception.
Secondly, you know the sort of chants we have. Max 4 lines (with the exception of the GCB) so you’d need song sheets for your suggested masterpiece.
Lastly, I didn’t say the words were off the mark. There’s just way too many of ‘em and they need making simpler. Think about the level of the ‘Shoreham Boys we are here’ chant for reference.
Peace out.

No pig fans in town was suggested on here and is about the same length as the original Shoreham street magnifique chant. Get your point about the whole thing being too long but what about the original? Our songbook nowadays is full of player-specific chants to the same tunes that everyone up and down the country sings week in week out. Makes us look tinpot and like we’ve got nothing worth singing about. We’re a big club with a proud history. Chants like this would add a bit of individuality. Don’t really get the piss taking tbh.

You’re on this forum & don’t get the piss taking?
Okidoke.

We've travelled far and near
Sometimes we drink beer
Not too much though because one of us is driving and that wouldn't be fair
And who knows, the rest of us might need a pee before we get there
We may stop for a bite to eat
At a motorway service station
If it's around Leicester, I'll probably be served by a very polite Asian
Or maybe a rude one as they have bad days too

I wrote that at the funeral service for my neighbours dog, Humper and now I can't stop humming it. Goes to the tune of My Girl Lollipop by Bad Manners and is way better than the OP's withering effort.

Genius

So apt for the times. Utterly 2026, is that.
Probably need to weave in summat to do with selecting the reyt beard oil, too.

 

[Radders]

In case it helps,the Shoreham St, Magnefique tune is from the song 'Milord' by Edith Piaf.
You're welcome.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

FFS…come on Cheeky Blades

Ooh, blades, cheeky blades
Ooh, blades, cheeky blades

Never ever ask
Where do blades go
I never ever ask
What do blades do
I never ever ask
What's in your mind
I never ever ask
If promotion is soon

Come and smile
Don't be shy
Touch my blades
This is life

Ooh


Uno, doy, trei, si


We are the cheeky blades
We are the cheeky blades
Etc, etc…

Video for younger Blades…

Written a new second verse to a forgotten chant from the early 60s- Shoreham Street Magnifique. A great chant that needs bringing back, with a second verse to commemorate the famous day we sent W******** down.



We’ve travelled far and wide!

London to Merseyside!

But there is only one place we want to be.

And that is Shoreham Street!

Where it is Magnifique!

And where the Wednesdayites,

Lay dead at our feet.



We sent the bastards down!

Off to the slaughterhouse!

Chansiri led, Burrows and Bamford finished the job.

Hear the Shoreham roar!

Now that we’ve settled the score!

Wednesday are dead, Sheffield is red,

Wilder the King



(Repeat)



I know the tune, but not sure what song it is. If anyone knows please reply with it. Slaughterhouse obviously a reference to pigs. Settled the score a reference to avenging Boxing Day. The last line being exactly what’s been settled by Relegation Day.

I can just see Micky Testes from t'Arborthorne stood next to Bobby Syphilis from t'Dial, stood on t'Kop:

Micky: The fuck are they singing?

Bobby: No idea mate.

Micky: Is it Greasy Chip Butty?

Bobby: Ney-ow.

Micky: Fuck 'em.

Keep it simple ( just like those cunts)
Soo....
Wexxxxxday shit
Wexxxxxday shit
Wedxxxxday Wedxxxxday Wedxxxxday shit shit shit.

Also

Are you Wedxxxxday in disguise (repeat)
When oppo teams are shite.

Can't make it much easier........

Im glad i now know... but it doesn't help.

Now I just imagine the blades of the 70s in some form of French cabaret act.

Where did you get the idea we’re a big club with a proud history? Sounds like a different club somewhere close.

It's a very old tune - it was already 50 years old in the 1970s!
