I am guessing that most of you on here will have seen the old film "Zulu", if you haven't you must it's an all time classic. Anyway, for those of you who have, you must remember the scene when the Zulus are singing a war chant that involved a lone warrior leading it and the rest of the warriors responding by chanting and banging their shields? Just imagine what that would sound like at a football ground!!! I don't no the words, but I am sure we could come up with some based on the same rhythm used by the Zulus. It was the scene in the movie when the Welsh guards responded by singing "Men of Harlech"
the PC brigade would call it racist chanting and you'd get arrested and locked up for 5 years... why a seperate fred for every thing about a singing - welld done fred, zulu fred - there already is a fred on this utterly boring subject.. Now when is the new pitch being layed? and should football fans be allowed to smoke cannabis in the ground so they become all smiley and giggley and heymanish ( sounds like an irishman)? Should debt collectors be big titted women who offer you a bj for repayment of debt. Once watched a movie called 'Balling for dollars', on the very same theme. It seemed to work - maybe Jimbob should have sent round to Essex birds to Lordy ashy and GS to get the investments they were asking for.
The British garrison at Rourke's Drift was not 'The Welsh Guards', it was 24th Regiment of Foot - 2nd Warwickshires At the absolute most, 19 men of the 80 man unit were Welsh and the unit's regimental march was 'The Warwickshire Lads', not 'Men of Harlech' FACTS
Good idea! The best football chants IMO are the ones where you follow someone.. a lot of european teams do it with a chant leader, usually with a megaphone or something. If we replicated a chant based on that clip that would be class!
wouldn't it be disrespctful to the Warwickies and the Welshies who perished in the battle, certainly their families now may find it disturbing. Not very family orientated chanting some African war cry. Why can't the yellow odour have a theme song like the one from Bambi or the Jungle book or or or errr yellow army yellow army......
na they probably would let you in, but the uckin green team wouldn't let you stand up to chant with them...:dismay:
Micheal Cain was bloody brillant as Lt.Chard or was it the other bloke. As for the chanting the players should line up against the opp and do the Hacka, followed by an encore from the Rockery.
Thing is, Birmingham have a hooligan firm called the Zulu's and you don't want to be associated with them.
I'd think I may get funny looks if I went to a game all blacked up, with my spear and shield and chanted Zulu war chants
Yes, the chocolate bars - hence the capital 'P' I don't like penguins, because they're black Penguins do not fall over if they look up - FACT My name isn't Guy
I just saw this thread and would like to comment that Zulu is one of my most favourite films ever, despite the historical inaccuracies.
Unfortunately most films that are supposedly recreations of history are inaccurate to varying degrees and no one can ever faithfully replicate historical situations. The worst offenders are the Hollywood studios who take enormous liberties with history. And more unfortunately many people seem to rely on these and series like 'The Tudors' for their understanding of it.
Zulu is so going to be remade It'll have Jude Law or Mel Gibson or some such fu.cktard and be worse than death by rusty harpoons
its gonna be the next Bollywood hit. bud bud bud zubud zubud zubud - gingly gangly ginggg ginnng gang gongi goni hingi gingi 2 poppedoms and a shag gingi gingi gonga...
