Walk On Song.

Recommended Posts

Following on from Been Here Before's Old Trafford before Anfield point regarding YNWA, the Scouse stole the name Spion Kop too.

 

It was originally Arsenal who had it and had links to the Boer War battle.

Im not quite sure thats 100% correct. Loads of grounds had a 'kop' to describe a steep terracing, its just Liverpools became the most famous.

 

Infact...

 

Famous football kops

It was mate. Started at Arsenal, Liverpool's very own Mark Lawrenson narrated the short docu on it.

 

Liverpool adopted it not long after.

Aye, aye so it was. Arsenal 1904 and the Scouse robbers in 1906.

 

Everyday a schoolday and all that.

 

How did you sit through something narrated by Mark Lawrenson though?

The Rangers fans used to sing it about dead popes 

 

Did they? It doesnt surprise me. I dint recall it though.

 

The Boney M thing was a bit more 'generic'- and just used the chorus, a bit like Spot The Loony or something, if you see what I mean.

 

Like I say though I could just be imagining it.

I think you're right - (insert line) na na na na na.

There was also a sectarian song to their "Holiday" song.

How about the Shed songs to the female police officers and to the girls selling raffle tickets/scratchcards? :facepalm: 

Are you referring to the totally non PC chant. Get it up you while you're young?

You know, I never realised until reading this thread that You'll Never Walk Alone was from the musical Carousel (which I've never seen). I actually thought it was written by Gerry and the Pacemakers...

I didn’t know that either.  

 

Ridiculous, considering I was in a presentation of Carousel in the Churchill Theatre about 300 years ago! :facepalm:

IIRC did all the bigot teams (us included then) not stop singing you'll never walk alone after Carousel was first shown on telly and people saw it was sung by a nun.

A bit odd in a way this thread should pop up. I was listening to a spot of Boney M the other day (dont ask) and Brown Girl In The Ring came on. I found myself thinking there used to be a football chant/song to the tune but couldnt think of what it was.

 

So anyone know or am I imagining it?

Brown boy on the wing  tra la la la la , sung at Paul Wilson ,(Celtic) in the 70's

Hibs are no strangers for pinching songs done it all there days

 

No doubt they will be singing ''The  Hibs are having a party'' the morra, as they have no shame in the song department  and stealing them from others 

Watching STV News/Sposrt and as predicted there they were singing the song , that shower have no shame..FTH

Sure did, and we also added some words after "and it's enough to make your heart go" Words I would never sing these days

No Surrender, we don't care what the Hibees say. I remember all these old songs who remembers the hit him on the head, hit him on the head, hit him on the head with a baseball bat. chant
