'Memries' Songs you don’t hear anymore

[pommpey]

The slow 'oh when the Blades go marching in' doesn't get anywhere near enough outings.

It does in our house. Usually in a pub singer manner.

Usually on a Saturday afternoon or at half time when they are on the telly. Drives my missus fucking insane.

pommpey

 

[UnitedBlade]

...closely followed usually by "we'll support you evermore".

You knew things were bleak when we sang that.

Sha la la la Fenoughty.

 

[Ricky]

'You're just a town full of Pakis' (sorry snowflakes)

That certainly doesn't get sung anymore!

 

[UnitedBlade]

On Ilkley Moor baht at

He’s here he’s there, he’s every fucking where

If I had the wings of an angel

Jump down turn around kick him in the bollocks

With a knock chicken and a bow legged hen .... doing the Shoreham boot walk

Dut der der der der United (Satisfaction)

 

[1973Blade]

I haven't heard us chanting We Are Bladesman, to Rod Stewart's Sailing recently. I liked that one.

 

[Ricky]

We are Bladesmen is another one that's underused. Shame because it's a passionate one that gets really loud.

 

[tyke1889]

"10 men went to shit, went to shit on Wednesday"

was heard in that rip-off pub at Villa, not heard it for ages.

 

[Tyler Durden]

As an aside, I wish they'd sing the fucking Boxing Day song properly.

Why make the first bit deafeningly loud if you're just going to mumble the second bit?

 

[highgreenintokyo]

Does "na na na na he's a Blade and he's a Blade" get much of an outing nowadays?

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

the twin chop chant....

'Get into them, fuck them up!'

Is that still around anymore?

 

[bartman]

Does "na na na na he's a Blade and he's a Blade" get much of an outing nowadays?

" cheer up David Pleat..........." was good a reference for Pleat's habit of driving slowly in red light areas.

In the triple assault season there was also
" Wednesday, what yer gonna do, you're going down to division 2. You can take your drum and take your shield' you're next derby is at Chesterfield "

An old fave was to Howard kendal when he played for Blackburn against us" you're just a bald headed bastard"

 

[speedymcgeady]

Bring on the dustbin...when an opposition player went down injured.(and with the hefty tackles they allowed back then,they usually were hurt).
They ought to have the submarine klaxon now.....

 

[Seanshoreham]

Remember quite a few John Ritchie songs
'Ritchie, Ritchie, Ritchie the bush kangarooooo......... (from Skippy)

'What I am supposed to do with a girl like John Ritchie' (song by the Casuals)

and after the foot and mouth outbreak 1967
'Don't go to Hillsboro, you'll get foot and mouth'

 

[Booker4]

No pig fans in town seems to be sung infrequently now, which is a shame. Would much rather us sing songs like that over the viral ones.

Still hear that regularly to be fair .We seem to be singing more player chants of late, but that's probably because we actually have players that we want to chant/sing for, which is a good sign!

Is the Jack O'Connell magic hat song original by the way?

 

[Seanshoreham]

We whistled and we sang til the Shoreham Street rang
And we’ll win the Cup and the Lee e e eague

Do war do wardy do war day
Do war do wardy a a

Repeat

That was always my favourite - from The ballad of Robin Hood

 

[DifferentClass]

The utter giddyosity glee and passion that accompanied -
" JACK E CHARLTON'S F---ED IT UP AGAIN " beats it's modern version into a tin of dolphin.

I love SWFIUA

 

[Jonboy60]

They should put them all on a special album CD collectors edition. My early recollection of songs at the lane back in the late 60's were classics like below.

Hodgy Hodgy ( as he ran towards the kop )
Addy Addy Addy Addy Addison ( Colin Addison )
This is to you Colin Addison, we all love you more than you will know, oh oh oh.. ( Simon & Garfunkles Mrs Robinson ).. Could be adapted for today's players.
His eyes they sparkle like diamonds ( Tony Currie tribute )
Tony Currie walks on water
We've travelled far and wide, we've been to merseyside but there is only one place we wanna be, and that is Shoreham Street, were we are magnifique, and all the Wednesday fans lay dead at our feet.
Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly, have you heard of the North Bank Highbury, he said No, I don't think so but I've heard of the SUFC.

Willie Carlin, “The mighty Quinn”

 

[Jonboy60]

Jump down, turn around kick em in the bollox, jump down turn around kick em in the head.
Oh Lordy kick em in the bollox, oh Lordy kick em in the head. Repeat.......

 

[Grappler]

Aye,aye aye aye
Shoreham Republican Army (we're barmy)
Wherever we go
We fear no foe
Cos we are the SRA

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Still sang by anyone when they play either team from Liverpool

Yes. The original song is " In my Liverpool home" by the Spinners from 1966, a song which extols the virtues of that city but Man U fans turned it on it's head and made it sound like a right shithole, quite cleverly in my view.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

He's fat
He's round
He's taking Wednesday down
Atkinson
Atkinson

 

[United Aren't Back.]

'You're just a town full of Pakis' (sorry snowflakes)

That certainly doesn't get sung anymore!

Apart from when 'our' intelligentsia visit Bradford City.

 

[N20 Blade]

Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, etc.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

Bastard, bastard, bastard, bastard, etc.

I always forget the words after the first line.

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

Wednesday shit
Wednesday shit
Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday
Shit shit shit.
Shit Wednesday
Shit Wednesday
Shit shit shit
Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday
Shit shit shit.

 

[JJ Sefton]

"Its all gone quiet over there" Always preferred to that to "You're not singing anymore".

 

[JJ Sefton]

Paul Jewell,
Whatever will you do?
You're going down to Division Two,
You won't win a match, a cup or a shield,
Your only derbys Chesterfield,

 

[cahill]

"We'll see you all outside
We'll see you all outside
We'll see you all
We'll see you all outside ..."

Nice ditty. Straight to the point and no messing about. Obviously the several hundred singing it at the time want to see the paltry tens in the opposition end 'outside' somewhere.

"I was walking down Shoreham Street, singin' a song
I met a Wednedayite walking along
So I kicked him in the bollocks
And I kicked him in the head
Now that Wednesdayite
Is dead."

Apart from the unprovoked assault and possible manslaughter/murder rap in this story, it clearly shows the cross city rivalry at it's zenith, particularly when unknowing opposition supporters stray into native territory and the singularly brutal treatment meted out for transgressors, thus.

"Oooh! Stick the boot in!
Oooh! Stick the boot in!"

A long forgotten tribal mantra chanted as fellow supporters crowd round a balled up opposition supporter as he desperately protects his vitals against a myriad of violent volleys and goal kicks to the back, buttocks and head. The 'Ohhh!' component suggests a slight psychosexual pleasure from issuing these punitive blows.

Cahill's:

"Hello! hello!
Shoreham aggro!"

Is another wonderful rallying cry shouted up after some hapless opposition supporter group have been thoroughly routed. It was seen (by me) to be used after an affray outside the corner of Shoreham Street and John Street when some quite young opposition fans were chased and battered. Good work hoolies, eh?

pommpey

The “ Ohhh! component suggests a slightly psychosexual pleasure ....” pissing my sen here !

 

[rosy red]

To the tune of death of a clown by the kinks.

Your score boards no good and your stands made of tin
We'll drown all you bstds in bottles and tins
Ten thousand wednesdayites dead on the floor
They won't come on shorham street kop any more.

 

[cahill]

Hi hi hi hi hodgy is better than Yashin, John Tudor is better than Eusebio and the Fukin filth from s6 are in for a thrashing. Bit of licence used there, sounds better.

I’m from Barnsley we used to sing “ aye aye aye aye Odgy is better.........” didn’t it finish “ and Mallender’s dirtier than Rattin (dirty Argie player) ...I know, “ artistic licence...” an all that.
