Tom Hark: Yes or no?

[Jimmy23]

I love nostalgia, like most probably do on this forum? But being a 8 year old sat at the bottom of the Kop against Forest in a second leg play off semi-final, having just seen Kabba’s leveller for 2-2, and Tom Hark playing and everyone have a good knees up every time we scored is one of my oldest memories I have…and I still remember it like yesterday!

The question is.. should we leave the past where it is..and if so why? Or do we bring the famous goal music back and have it associated with the Blades once and for all?

God no, well not for me anyway, I hated that noise then, still do now

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

TBH I thought that was manufactured dogshit.

I've been to one NFL game in the US, and the biggest thing I hated was the crowd only seemed to cheer or get excited when the scoreboard was telling the crowd to make some noise.

WTF, let's not have a plastic crowd.

It was fun at the time, but cringe as anything looking back now

No it was terrible, let the dinosaurs keep it.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

It wasn't just us who used it loads did. Trying to explain it now is like trying to explain how Wet wet wet were number one for weeks and weeks to someone who wasn't even born when the charts even mattered

 

[Weasel]

No

Was it Burnley who were massively into it as well?

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Norwich wasn’t it?

 

[Houston_Blade]

Sinclair loved it, it reminds me of those inflatable saxophones that they were giving out one game. Awful.

I love nostalgia.

Me too, but it's not as good as it used to be.

The version of Tom Hark that most people recognise and is always used in these situations is the one by the Piranhas from the 1970’s.

I am ancient enough to remember the original version of this when it came out in around 1956 which was by Elias and his Zig Zag Jive Flutes , a band from South Africa which played a type of music known as Kwela .

It caused quite a sensation at the time , being so different from anything we had ever heard before and in my view is much superior to the cover version in terms of both the authenticity and simplicity of its presentation .

It took us about 15 fucking years to get rid of it. Cheers Gary. Let's keep it gone

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I'd like some music,like a loop of Na na Na na na na na na na na Naaaaaaaaa.

No way we were still doing that shit in the Championship with Wilder.

The song that ignited one of the most asked questions of the 90s.

"What's a Tromboleese?".

It's a magical instrument of compensation that makes up for having no money, power or fame

It will evoke great memories from your Childhood that will always flare up whenever you hear that song ...
I'd say leave it that way and it will always be special to you .
It's Amazing how sounds & smells can transport you back to a bygone era

Got a good memory there Isaw. Impressed. I’ll seek that one out.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Every now and again, you'll hear it impromptu from the crowd after a last minute goal, or an important one where we just go into it without the music.

Much better IMO

It was fun for about 8 months, then I detested it.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Absolutely not, and don't give Garyoke ideas.

 

[NuddysGloves]

I used to love it, but i was a child at the time. Remember when we were in League One and played Spurs in the cup? When Adams scored his second they played it and I felt like I was a young kid again, it was great to have that as a one off but I wouldn't want them to bring it back for every goal now, maybe I'm just a miserable adult now though.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

God no. Leave that shite to the sad coked up pricks and their orange women at big boxing events who also like that sweet caroline shite. #Moosicfercunts
