The Housemartins

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I noticed after the Chelsea game, the first track on the tannoy was One Step Beyond by Madness. Appropriate since Suggs is a Chelsea fan. It got me thinking though, why do we never play The Housemartins at the Lane? Paul Heaton is probably our most prominent "musician" fan, and with tunes like Happy Hour and Caravan of Love they have tunes that could really stir the crowd. Come on Gary - stick some on!

 

[metalblade]

Because they are shit.

 

[BushBlade]

Agree. Not a big fan but we really should be playing Happy Hour.

 

[BigBed]

And we play Def Leopard who are far better!

 

[metalblade]

Banish Paul Heaton to Hull

 

[FTPE]

Def Leppard for me.
Rocket yeeeeeeeer

 

[sothall blade]

surprised he still turns up after berating the club over you know who

 

[bornablade]

Was Norman Cook (fat boy Slim) in the Housemartins? Think he's a Brighton fan.

On the Paul Heaton link we could always go for the Beautiful South and when we've won the next 9 games Gary Sinclair could play 'Perfect 10'.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

I like a bit of Def Leppard - "Pour some sugar on me" would go down well. Still it's not really a case of one or the other is it.

Apologies, can only give the one like

 

[TJB.]

Def Leppard are utter garbage and a stain on an otherwise impressive musical legacy for the city of Sheffield.

Agree about getting a bit of Housemartins played on the tannoy.

Also, we need a new tannoy.

Yep, played bass for them.

Didn't the drummer of The Housemartins murder someone?

Tannoy system needs an upgrade at some point, speaker near where we sit used to cut out a lot, not as much this season though

 

[Tyler Durden]

If were going to play a Sheffield band at Bramall Lane then play the greatest one of all, Cabaret Voltaire.

That'll freak a few out.

We do need a new tannoy - it's been sounding pretty weak on the Kop the last few years - used to sound great but it's had some hammer.

Also Beautiful South - Old Red Eyes is Back

They could never be blue...

 

[Rodley]

Think Heaton aside they are far more affiliated with Hull. They play their stuff at 'Ull all the time.

 

[cahill]

Housemartins a bit too tinny and poppy for me.

Although Happy Hour would be preferable to another "famous" singer's song from the 1960s, Blades fan Dave Berry and "The Crying Game"

I'll start

" I KNOW ALL THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CRYING GAME"

So do we Dave

Will be forever tainted by the flounce .......

I believe the Housemartin who wore glasses, was a season ticket holder at the Lane years ago

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

I like em, I remember sitting a couple of seats away from paul Heaton away at west brom, he talked to fans on the concourse at half time and seemed a nice bloke.

They look a right set of daisy mays in that dance sequence in Happy Hour

No just the music

Intake Blade - Just want you to know that you nicked my username! This was my username on all Blades sites between 1998 - 2012! I'm happy for the legend to live on though as I create a new one

 

[vorpal blade]

Just took a 'phone call from Flea of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers - he's desperate to play a half-time set at Bramall Lane with Paul Heaton.

FACT


(got to say we should send him a comp ticket for any promotion clincher type game we might play this season it would be would be a nice gesture and good P.R.)

'Nag, Nag, Nag' I guess?

I feel honoured

 

[Highbury_Blade]

I'd rather have Sheffield's 3rd best band*, the Longpigs played before matches than the housemartins.

When the heat was on over Ched, Heaton dropped this club faster than a tart's knickers.
