    Never liked z-cars. Realise there is a tradition thing going on but it just irritates me, has done for over 40 years. If you’re going to go for an old tune we should cough up some royalty readies and use the Match of the Day theme. Now there’s an old tune I could get behind.

    As for I’m Still Standing? It’s the best of a bunch of songs by Elton, none of which fit a team coming out to play a football match. Suspect he probably thought, “well at least it’s uplifting I guess”. Not sure what I’d go with if MotD theme is out. Certainly not something like what wolves do so their supporters can sing along like some sort of performing seals.

    Oh and I also hate You’ll Never Walk Alone and all this sing along traditional tosh. I guess it’s the one thing about z-cars that’s ok as you can’t sing along to it.

    PS. DO NOT POST THAT BLOODY YOUTUBE VID.

    Let's wait and see what our cup final single sounds like. If it's any good perhaps we can adopt that going forward. Does anyone know when the squad is going in to the studio to record it?

    I sing along every week, at the top of my lungs:

    Do, do, doo, do, do, do, do, do, do, doo, do, do, do, doo, do, doo, doo, do, do, do, do, do, doo, doo, do, do, doo, do.

    I hope they don't change it. It took me long enough to learn the words to Z Cars :oops:o_O

    I heard that this time we had plumped for Back Home, covering the 1970 WC classic.

    It works on 2 levels.

    Watford are the second best team in the tournament.

    And, owing to Wembley's exorbitant pricing, much of our fanbase will be following proceedings from the laptop in the back bedroom.

    Hmm, don't mind the switch so long as we don't have to sing along...

    We could try 'crocodile rock' if it doesn't work out, and maybe switch Harry for a croc. Could 'comedy eat' Zaha next time Palace visit.

    The elephant in the thread is that Elton is a mumbler.

    I was 42 before I got even half the words to Yellow Brick Road.

    Waiting until I’m 84 for the other half.

    The GT stand apply this attitude to all songs. The opening two lines of Red Dwarf theme would be a fitting song for them.

    I gave Elton’s greatest hits a spin on the car turntable today.

    Nothing which is remotely right for the walkout song unless he can overdub Benny & The Jets as Deeney & The Gits, the latter being the visitors.

    My mate chose z cars as his intro and outro music for his funeral last year, as crap as it is,it still means something to some of us, yet..he would have been one of the first suggest some upbeat Elton as a replacement.

    Sandstorm by Darude would have been an option for the outro.

    I'm trying to picture how I'd feel in your situation. Did it make match days a bit awkward for you afterwards? There are two songs I still can't listen to because I associate them with the funerals of two friends.

    Either way, sorry for your loss.

    Great call, we have a winner here people. I think most will agree that we need a choon that everybody knows the words to.

    Just imagine:

    I guess you could say it's the ultimate "outro"! I'm having I'm Still Standing at mine.

    I would definitely say i'm old school (see i even spell "old school" in an old skool way) but i to would be happy to see a permanent replacement for Z Cars. It's run it's course if you ask me.

    R Dean Taylor's "There's a ghost in my house" must be the best song for a funeral.

    I'm not sure that is definitively known to be a fact.

    There's a track on Yellow Brick Road called Funeral for a friend.. though perhaps it's a bit too literal for a funeral and it's a bit average (the second part, Love Lies Bleeding, isnt bad) We could play it after home defeats though.

    We also took it at a time that we were unlikely to play Everton, we were leagues apart. Now they are genuine rivals, albeit a six point banker for us. We should have something new.

    I am not 100% sure about this - I remember when this was discussed years ago, the view was that EFC played it from time to time at home games before us, but we were first to use it every match as the tune the players ran out to.
