I'm shocked and appalled that the correct answer only has 75.0% of the vote.
 

I'm shocked and appalled that only 8% on here are old enough to remember the original :)
 
I'm absolutely shocked that there are 164 people who have got it wrong

And appalled

It's maggots

Worms are good too, but it doesn't scan well in the song

Maggots then
 
And it making sense - brings me on to another of our well known songs. How can Jack Charlton be dead if the year is 1889? - he's not been born :confused:

Because the correct words are 'EVERY year is 1889' - it's a song about a perfect existence for Blades fans.
 
Must admit when I first heard it I thought it was thrill. Have long since subscribed to the orthodox view of fill. Frankly, anyone expecting this shower to thrill them anytime soon will almost certainly be disappointed

Because singing "Jack Charlton hasn't been born yet" doesn't rhyme.

The song is about a perfect life where Wednesday and their then manager - Jack Charlton don't exist..

To elaborate:
"no pig fans in town" - SWFC no longer occupy BDTBL
"No Hillsborough to sadden my eyes" - not built yet.
"Jack Charlton is dead" - its 1889 so he doesn't exist yet.
"The pig fans have fled" - see point 1
"And the year is 1889" - best year ever for SUFC.

The final sentence I've heard people say "and every year is 1889" and also "and the year is".. Either works

I once went on a night out with a die-hard Blade mate, determined to complete the whole song in one night. We drank 8 pints of Magnet, and had a good pinch (or several) of snuff. The night out in Sheffield was obvious, and we ended proceedings with a chip butty (Dev Chippy is pretty greasy at 2am). The only bit we failed on was the packet of woodbines. We ordered a pack online, but given my mate was (is) a non-smoker, and I only smoke modern, filtered cigs, we just could not stomach more than 2 or 3 each.

I've always sung it as "Magnet" and to me that makes more sense, but hey, each to their own. As long as everyone sings it at the top of their lungs, and it continues to be the most original, creative and frankly spine-tingling football chant in the world, I don't really care if people sing one word differently to me. It's the volume and the atmosphere that counts.

Cheers Matt. I can take the best year ever or every year but "is dead" can't mean doesn't exist yet so still doesn't make sense - unlike a gallon of Maggots;)
 
Plenty of people remember the original as being Magnet. And let's be fair, it makes more sense. Who the hell takes maggots on a night out?
Surely it's a number of things that make us feel good. Nothing suggests that they all happen together. Fags, snuff, night out, chips, and ...........maggots :).
 

But they can all happen on a night out except the fishing business which only happens in purgatory.
Dont people take snuff instead smoking though?

What about........go fishing with too many maggots, take snuff but run out, go to town for some beer cos you've caught nowt, get some fags cos snuff shop is shut, and grab a chip butty cos you're hungry?

Our lass says I'm a real pain in the arse when I'm on a wind up so I'll stop now. Sorry all :(
