yes, Fulwood
The car transporter thread has raised the point about the old song from the late 60's

It isn't rude, it used to be very loud sung from the kop - it should be reintroduced ready for the next Derby game in November

UTB
 



We've traveled far and wide ,we`ve been to merseyside but there is only one place we want to be and that is Shoreham street, where it is magnifigue , and where the *******ites lay dead at our feet (or on the street) na na na nar na .
 
Sadly we have quite a few songs harking back to the 70's and 80's that allude to physical violence against Wednesday fans. "Magnifique" is one. "Cliffs of Dover" is another. "We had Joy we had Fun". And what about "Slinging a Pig"? "No Pig Fans in Town" has the "Jack Charlton is dead" line.

Perhaps in the current moral climate, these song's aren't socially appropriate, as they could dissuade cultural integration and even worse, encourage violence. Should we stop singing them?

Time for a poll me thinks, but I already know the outcome

No
 



Whatever happened to the grand old tradition of Blades fans infiltrating our opponents' end and starting a punch up? If that were re-introduced we could all sing "Shoreham Aggro, Shoreham Aggro" while pointing to the scuffling fans.

You missed out the crucual 'Hello, hello'.

There was also the unforgetable:

"Shoreham's here
Shoreham's there
Shoreham's every fucking where
Na na na, na na na, na na"

I like to think that it suggests some Elysian Fields type Nirvana. Sadly I think it was more immediate and meant if you were on Bramall Lane, you had a few big blokes with red and white silk scarves around their wrists about to give you a kicking.
 
The below song off Ronnie Sharpe's album is very topical at the moment:

There's a boy, a little boy
Throwing acid everywhere
And his name is Richard someone
but the question isn't where

Is it me, or is it you
its hard to tell until it hits

But when it hits you, you will know it
cos it burns a little bit

here is comes
burning through to the blue

drops of acid for me and for you

Your getting burn't again, getting burnt again

We didn't sing that you lyin' hound.

We* did sing a version to the Scaffold's Lilly the Pink though:

We'll drink drink drink
To Lilly the Pink, the pink the pink
The saviour of, the human race
For she invented
Sulphuric acid
and we'll throw it, in your face.

* The 'we' is a bit of a lie. Heard some scary older Kivo Blades on the top deck of the 219 singing it. Me and my mate giggled but kept our heads down anyway, as you did when you were a young 'un.

For those under 50:-
