What is it?

I just can't work it out.

That other new song, " programmes 3 quid" however is a work of genius!

No it isn t.
The cunt sings the same shit at the DEATH TRAP when we're away.

The Rotterdam one?

Not sure of all the words myself, but it starts 'Six years in division one, Chris Wilder came home' and ends with 'He's one of our one, He's one of our one', if that's the one you mean.

Six years in division one, Chris Wilder came home, he'll take us to the very top, he's one of our own, he's one of our own.
 
The Rotterdam one with an alternative tune? Rather like all our ‘songs’.

It lacks the nuance of the original, certainly.

I must say I'm impressed that most people get the gap between the repeated line at the end right, though.
 
Its completely unoriginal, but the Rotterdam one kind of works, apart from that one line about “taking us to the very top”, which sounds so cringingly out of place. People around me actually adjust their accents and undergo an elocution lesson just for that one line. Its like something a bunch of quite posh 11 year olds in a school music lesson would come up with when asked to write a football song for a project.

“Children; try to think about how our subject, Mr Wilder is impacting us, as a fanbase... yes Crispin?”

“Well Sir, I think he’s taking us to the top...”.

“Good! Yes Ophelia?”

“Not just the top Sir... how about the VERY top?”
 
It's alright.

Just sounds a bit droany, not banging and intimidating, far from an atmosphere setter.

Not our best work, think we would have benefitted from a better song choice.

So for that reason, I'm out.
 
Thanks chaps. The one loosely based on Rotterdam. It's been bugging me for weeks.
 
I was disappointed to learn that the song isn't a United original (so few are these days) as of course one of the original writers is a huge Blade!

I think it originated with Villa last season, listing their European exploits and lamenting "Now we're playing Rotherham at home".

The funny thing is, the pigs have nicked it off us not realising that the writer is a Blade :D
 

Course it's a Blades original, written by a Blade and sung by a Blade, Paul Heaton.

Our words are original, but Villa were the first to use 'Rotterdam' as a football chant I think. Quality to be fair to them..

We've been to Rotterdam and everywhere Liverpool and Rome
And now we're playing Rotherham, Rotherham at home... Rotherham at home
 
Surprised nobody has come up with a wilder song to the tune of cum on feel the noize.
 
There's a more recent addition (unless it's a revival of something before my time) than Rotterdam that I can't make out at all. It doesn't sound very good so it'd need to have some excellent words.

In music that's called a rest, something usually wasted on football fans. Sloop John B songs are very frustrating to listen to.

Fine by me, if it encourages Crispin and Ophelia to become Blades for the rest of their lives. And perhaps while they're at it, they could come up with an acceptable version of Shoreham Boys - it is currently a waste of a potentially great song that just won't work now.

Indeed, I've long said that all chants based on Sloop John B should be banned, cos they just butcher it.
