Was a popular chant before the Forest match.

Agreed, and I liked the You're Fucking Shit/We're Fucking Good masterpiece too.

Are we too late for this year's Ivor Novello?

I blamed this chant for the Reading 'fight back'. They seemed so upset that they finally went for it. Don't try it again.;)

Agreed. Both songs are already up there with my all time favourites.

They show great originality, are deeply amusing and tuneful and as for the lyrics I detect a strong Hoaghy Carmichael influence with perhaps a hint of Noel Coward.

Any Joy Division-derived chant is alright by me!

Unless someone attempts a version of 'Atmosphere'... now that would be a durge.

Something originally, rather than stolen from another club, would make a refreshing change.
 
Personally I don’t like swearing in a song. 20k plus bouncing pigs chanting fucking every week really is awful. It’s not like I don’t like a fucking or cunt myself but I don’t think there’s a place for it in a chant

'Walk in silence' reminds me of the Adkins era. The players didn't run much and we didn't cheer much.

We have a number of original songs in our repertoire. More than many other clubs I daresay.

I think some people get a bit too precious about things being 'original'. Some were moaning about Brooksys song because Man U had it for Giggs. How long has be been retired? Younger fans might not have even seen him play, nevermind heard his song.

If all clubs tried to outdo each other in the originality department, we'd have H block of the Kop reeling off a version of some mediocre Shania Twain album track to praise Carruthers or summet daft.

Don't see many moaning about the Couttsy song even though I've heard a few other clubs sing their own versions. In reality, it really doesn't matter that much. Long as fans are having fun.

If younger fans didn’t see Giggs it’s highly unlikely they’ve heard Joy Division either so the chant has even less relevance.
Just copying other teams songs is boring, do something original, as you said we’ve already many others so follow that example.

I never saw Elvis. Does that mean 'Take my hand...' is irrelevant? Shall we scrap that one?

It was your point around not knowing Giggs or heard it being sung as being relevant. I don’t think it is. It’s a chant strongly linked with a particular player, that’s the point.

I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of Elvis or “I can’t help falling in love with you”, my comment was around originality, but , rather ironically, you chose to ignore that and make up your own.

Reading fans were singing it too yesterday. I got a bit confused as I thought at first it was coming from Bramall Lane upper and then realised it was the Reading fans.

Who cares? We need more atmosphere, not worrying about song originality

Not that there's anything stopping those who do care from cracking on.....:)
 
I think we’ve probably got the balance right on original songs vs oversaturated versions sung everywhere. I suspect the Coutts song will become progressively less enjoyable the more every other club gets their own version, but till then we may as well just enjoy it – “free from Derby” and all.

We can be proud of the fact that we’ve continued to enjoy goal-music-free celebrations at the Lane under Wilder. That for me is a really important thing that we ensure we protect for the sake of the Lane atmosphere.
 
I'm as big a wanker as anyone but I've never spanked the monkey at BDTBL

Has anyone else ?
