Wilder Bunch - Bouncing Day

[JohnDenver]

TonyAgana is all over this.

 

[mattbianco1]

Don't let the Owls see. I can't bear the embarrassment.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

I wanted to like it. But I can’t. It’s shite.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

I Love it

 

[SteveBlade]

Fucking horrific.

 

[blackydog]

Am I supposed to remember all that? I'm all on with "Shoreham Boys".

 

[DifferentClass]

Is it as bad as that Reading song from a couple of years back?

 

[Rodley]

Preferred “A Blade Supreme” but nothing tops “I don’t like Monday but I can’t stand Wednesday”

 

[Pinchy]

Let’s just pandar to the Pigs then and keep singing about a defeat from the last century rather then celebrating the match that eclipsed it this year.

Surely even our fans could change one word in a song without that much difficulty? Probably not because they were still singing “Boxing Day” last time they strangled the well-known Carol.

Clarke now H-E-A-R.... ffs..

There's never anything to be gained by taking a literalist approach to football songs. We won't fight forever more because of Boxing Day or Bouncing Day. We were fighting long before either of those games so to attribute our hatred of one another to a single event in 1979 or 2017 is just factually incorrect.

And we're not the greatest team the world has ever seen.

We haven't got a barrel of money. No of course we haven't because in the western world we keep our money in the bank. No one would keep a barrel full of money, it just isn't secure.

It's not possible to swing a pig from Hyde Park flats to Wadsley Bridge. Not manually and I don't think anything has been invented that could do it. You just couldn't generate sufficient force to propel an object that far simply by swinging it.

There's always pig fans in town, Hillsborough is still there, saddening my eyes, and it's 2017.

Yes we are.

Mate, I commend the effort, I really do - but football songs should remain on the terraces. There hasn't been a good one recorded.

FOTH

If the year is 1889, then it's actually true, Hillsbrough wasn't there to sadden my eyes (well not my eyes as I obviously wasn't born then, but certainly someone's eyes were spared the sadness).

There were probably no pig fans in town in 1889 either, as that was a term not popularised until the 70s and in any case, it is probably a reference to "The Wednesday" being chased out of town and out to the sticks and to Owlerton, and the mighty taking over Olive Grove in the actual town...

Now what is too exestentialist for my weak brain to comprehend is how Jack Charlton could have been dead in 1889 as, like me, he hadn't even been born yet, unless you consider pre-conception and the non-existence of ones being as being the same as dead. You're dead, then you're alive, then you're dead again. I need a lie down.

 

[speedymcgeady]

...and hat.

Don't forget the towel to get dried on..

 

[mattbianco1]

It's the kind of shit Wednesday fans usually do. It's definitely the most embarrassing thing associated with the club since Dean Hammond.

Quite right. What saddens my ears is simply that our thick fans are unable to do the bleeding obvious and convert ‘Boxing’ to ‘Bouncing’.

Perhaps it’s that Bladey Inferiority Complex or just limited intelligence?

 

[Steve Mackan]

Besides that, Russ played at my engagement do a few years ago, he's is a top guy and a brilliant guitarist who I've a lot of respect for on several levels. Good on 'em, I say.

Might be a top guy and a top guitarist and he might have played your wedding, but the song is not just cringe, but very, very crap.

 

[Roygbiv]

Ah Jesus

Or even Montgomery? And that’s a huge chunk of embarrassment.

Why do Blades so frequently concern ourselves with what Pig fans think or do? Personally I find that more embarrassing than a Pro-Blades song; however crap it might be.

We’re massive.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Ah Jesus

How can I help you, father?

[GaryHamsonsLeftBootLace]

The grinding guitar bit that repeats for the last 4,000 minutes (it seems) gives me a headache.

To the tune of Buffalo Soldiers
The Bouncing Day Massacre
24th of September
Bouncing Day Massacre
We will all remember
And we sing
Lal lal la Lal lal lal la Lal lal la Lal lal lal la.
