martoon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 An embarrassing one, in lots of ways, but I thought it was "No chapels kick sand in my eyes" back in the day. I'd long stopped singing it when I discovered otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I've always wished I'd misheard references to Celtic and Rangers in our famous Hearts song, but unfortunately not. The OF have no place in a song about the mighty Jambos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There was a match against Rangers in the 90s where a Ally McCoist shags wee Burnie song started and I was singing Ally McCoist shitty bummy. I thought because it was soaking and his shorts were brown with mud. I'm sure it ended 2-2 and we equalised quite late. Greame Hogg was playing.

Marvin Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 For years I used to get the Drew Busby song wrong.

niblick1874 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 When I was very young I would hear the roars from Tynecastle park (1960 ish) from my home in Leamington terrace and I knew that it came from down the road somewhere past the canal. When I was taken to watch Hearts by my brother for the first time, and for years later, we went down the road to watch Hearts. It's not that I thought that the words were A way down in Gorgie, however, I have always sung it that way because, for me, it just sounds right🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
