Your Song

Love it before the game, but it should also be played when we win at the end….

 

Is anyone singing it at the start? That’s clearly the idea and it seems more and more teams have a song they belt out just before kick off. I’m also a fan and would love it to catch on.

But still love a bit of Depeche Mode with a victory!

 

Give it time in my opinion. The song works, and now the fan base feel more connected with the team it will help

 

I understand why they use it, but I don't think it works. It's not really a hype song or one that gets the blood pumping at least a little. I'd rather Z Cars.

 

It's about time we had a real club song, and in the absence of anything better, I think "Your Song" is a decent choice!!!

 

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Joy Division belting out shortly after the final whistle yesterday.

The club should play the entire Closer album before the game next week.

 

Step.

Re Z Cars: both clubs have used that tune for several decades so I don’t see why it would suddenly become an issue now.

 

The big sign it's not taken root or really working was the Coventry game. PA system down completely and the fans didn't sing it spontaneously, despite nearly a year of the club piping it out pre-kick off. I agree it had potential but I think it's a lame duck.

 

They need to cut it before the last line so the crowd can finish it without the music. Should end after Put down in words & let the fans sing How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.

 

Dreary shyte that needs fcking off pronto.

None of Elton's songs are suitable. We all know this. We've known it for decades.

 

It doesn’t work. Never has and never will. If SEJ wasn’t bonded with the club the way he is we wouldn’t have thought twice about using it.

Time to move folks.

 

What about cold-play by yellow?
Edit: forgot about the autocorrect

 

Should go with A-rse-hole by Snuff, tongue in cheek and ultimately self-deprecating. Probably a bit for rude for a family club though.

 

IMHO it could be simply a song where the intro gets the crowd bouncing just before kick off rather than a slushy ballad which is just copy catting other clubs .

 

I think Elton has a few songs that should work on paper, but in reality the lyrics are a bit too wordy and complicated and nobody will bother to sing them.

 

Ready To Go by Republica would be better. If that don't gee them up nothing will.

 

5,6,7,8

 

I'm Still Standing would work. Fade it in at the guitar solo 1:54 gives everybody a cue to join in; then everybody will join the yeah yeah yeahs.

Sorted.

 

I like Z Cars, but would prefer if there were some lyrics the fans could sing along with the tune.

Any ideas?

 

The 1881 could all learn Arlene Philips' choreography from the video. That would be amazing.

 

You know PNE have "Gentry day" where they wear bowler hats? We could have Elton day where we all wear straw boaters and round glasses. 25th March EJ's birthday. Playing Plymouth at home on 29th.

 

I once created z cars on my Siemens C35 back in the early noughties. This was before the days of downloading tunes to your phone.

I painstakingly did it 1 beep sound at a time and then played it to see if it was right. Then the next beep and played it. And this continued for each beep. Then if I got a beep wrong, I'd have to start again until I got all the beep sounds in the correct order.

I think it took me about 2 hours.

True story.

 

I thought this was well known. It's originally a Liverpudlian sea shanty (hence the Everton connection):

 

The fans should just buzz like hornets instead, we can also wriggle our bums at the away fans to intimidate them.

 

What's wrong with the existing lyrics that all fans know and love;
"Ner-ner-ner, ner-ner-ner-ner-ner,
Ner ner-ner, ner-ner-ner-ner,
Etc ?

 

Isn't that a song by The Police?

(works on two levels, that one ).

 

How about ‘Barbie Girl’ by Aqua? Topical theme from one of the highest grossing movies of all time wouldn’t go amiss. We can all sing and dance and clap and then cheer on the boys!

And if we lose a few games we can blame the curse of the song again rather than identify the early stages of a disastrous relegation season and then focus all our attention on getting a road renamed as the club goes down the pan.

 

...if you move the commas around a bit !
And sung Softly Softly.

 

Wasn't that by The Equals?

 

Equals did Hotel California, m8.
