Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 What club or country in the world has the best football song ? For quality lyrics and musical accompaniment which is great to sing and be heard in the heat of a match which makes hair stand up on the back of your neck that adds to the special atmosphere .

For quality lyrics and musical accompaniment which is great to sing and be heard in the heat of a match which makes hair stand up on the back of your neck that adds to the special atmosphere . We do. There's nothing better than the Hearts song when it's sung at a packed out Tynecastle when we're gubbing the Hibs once again. Nothing better at all.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Got to say, on a European night when Liverpool sing YNWA it makes the hairs stand up. Hearts song is great although I prefer the Europe song. Absolute genius. One of many things that annoy me about the Hobos is that they have to have the worst songs of any football club in the land. Ooo to be a Hibee? Pffft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting half a beer tent at Glastonbury singing it a few years back and was very proud of myself. Everyone just thought it was a great song. Everyone was right.

willyjjg Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Never mind the best, how many other clubs actually have their own official, original song thats not just some made up words sung to another tune? Not many i'd say, always thought it was one of many things that make the jt's unique?! One thing better than the hearts song at tyne, thats the hearts song at a half full hampden, whilst humping the hobs 4-0 in the cup semi, when they could'nt even be botherd to turn up, moan the white stripes!

magicTs Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Having had the opportunity to attend Old Trafford a number of times over the last two seasons there is no doubt they have the most songs (by far) of any club side I know but that probably comes from having the biggest crowds by far. Most of the current squad (yes even Darren Fletcher !) have a song in their honour nevermind all the longer term songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If you ask jo brand she says Hearts song is the worst song. Though I think it is great song, though it has to be the 86 verson, it has pace and sung really well. Gives me a great feeling when fans sing it. Think this season has been lacking in atmosphere but from previous seasons the European song is amazing when it is sung at a match. Would agree with YNWA on a european night at anfield.

Buffalo Bill Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think every fan of every club would say their own, so I would proclaim that we have the first and the second best songs in football. But even songs we hate sang by fans we despise are pretty powerful if listened to objectively. My current favourite is the ?Do the Ayatollah? thing by Cardiff fans. Quality. Buffalo Bill .

topcat Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I don't care much for West Ham but the following seems to be a perfect metaphor for the experience of following a not particularly successfull football club. I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. They fly so high, They reach the sky, And like my dreams, They fade and die. Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere, I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. It's happily whimisical and fatalistically melancholy all at the same time.

Hagar the Horrible Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 There was a book written by someone (sorry don't know who) who had a list of those songs by all the top sides in Scotland and England I read it in the Gyle Bargain book store a couple of years back. Hearts had the biggest section by far, but it did include loads from the 70's Hit em on the head Pogo Your goint to get your ******* kicked in etc Kille fans had "Paper Roses" to this day god knows why? Rangers and Celtic were pretty much on one page as it did not include songs stolen for other clubs (YNWA) or so called traditional folk songs with connotations:rolleyes: HIbs only had one song: Hibbies, clap calp clap Hibbies, clap calp clap Hibbies, clap calp clap But most Hibs fans have forgotten the words?

Therapist Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 My favourites: 1. Clubs * Hearts song - Hector Nicol version, not the pathetic 1986 chunky chicken version. * Blue is the Colour - Chelsea FC. Belter. * FC Barcelona song that's played prior to their home matches with the words coming up on the electronic scoreboards. * Follow follow - Rangers FC's football classic 2. Countries * Ally's Tartan Army - from the time when we had a great team and our supporters weren't diddies. * Three Lions. Top tune, great lyrics. Everything a football song should be.

willyjjg Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 if hearts song is not an original tune but an old hymn or folk song(i'm not an avid viewer of songs of praise) then what a piece of lyrical genius by old hector nicol! did he write the words or just belt them out at the top of his lungs? the fact our song has many different verses and has been around long enough to have been printed on vinyl twice makes it a clear winner for me even if its not an original score! have to say though watching 90,000 Barca fans singing their anthem in the nou camp even though i didn't understand a single word was pretty special even for a neutral!
