You are BOTH wrong. 😄 Please bear with me .... For a song played at almost every home game, it amazes me that fans consistently get it wrong when singing it a cappella. What's more, given the demise of 'Rangers' and their re-incarnation as 'The Rangers', the original (and best) as sung by the late, great Hector Nicol is arguably prescient given that he sings, "Though some say The Rangers and Celtic are grand" ... not "Though some say that Rangers and Celtic are grand", and certainly not "Though some say that Celtic and Rangers are grand". So, the proper lyric is:- "Though some say The Rangers and Celtic are grand, the-e boys in maroon are the best in the land." Sing along, folks ... 🎶🎵🎶 H-E-A ... R-T-S, If you cannae spell it then here's what it says: Hearts, Hearts, glorious Hearts, It's down at Tynecastle they bide, The talk o' the toon are the boys in maroon, And Auld Reekie supports them wi' pride. This is my story, this is my song, Follow the Hearts and You can't go wrong Though some say The Rangers and Celtic are grand, The-e boys in maroon are the best in the land." 🎶🎵🎶 I prefer Chisholms version ……………… : - ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that the folks at the end of the queue didn't miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 @Sooks The h1b5 hoards can sing that dirge 'Sunshine on Leith' all they want, but Colin Chisholm's version of the Hearts song got to #92 in the charts, so they can suck it up. Nevertheless, Colin gets the words wrong. Great voice, for sure, but get the lyrics right, for heaven's sake! Must dash as there's a match oan so, with a nod to Monty Python's Flying Circus, you dear Sooks, are an unorthodox Zindiq; a dissident dissenter; a non-comformist apostate; a schismatic agnostic pagan heathen; and a recreant recusant nullifidient to boot. 😆 I'll say it in Íslandic ... "Villutúmađur". 😉 ... but all the more loveable for being so. ❤️ Which version (there are others) is best? Hearts Song Let the battle commence. 🎶🎵🎶 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly we need a song about that . . . (be awfully nice to end the story with a cup win TBH) Not on topic but what assets were pumped?
