Teddy Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Personally, I like the version of 'oh when the hearts...' when we sing it slowly for the first verse then start clapping and it gets faster for the second verse onwards. It was sung in G like this at least a couple of times on Sunday. If enough people sing it like this then it would sound pretty good, it did on Sunday IMO. Thoughts? Should we make it a more regular occurrence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 I agree to am extent about it being cringey to 'lift' it from Spurs but fans take things from other teams' fans alot. If it could be sung with everyone at the same speed/tone/pitch, whatever, it would sound good. We have been singing the same songs for a while, with a few added in over the years. Recently we've had the Paulo Sergio one and 'let's all do the Wonga', bit disappointed the We are HMFC and 'let's all do the Hartley' haven't taken off yet. Just need to freshen up our song sheet a bit more IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't mind it, only when you've played the team though. If you see them do something that you think looks good or sounds good, I say go for it. If Spurs fans were watching the Derby on Sunday and heard us singing that version, I think they would like it. For example, if you were watching a Tottenham game and seen them do the twirly, how good would it make you feel that fans of another team have seen us do something that they thought was so good that they have adopted it. It's a sort of mutual respect between fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkjambos Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 All for new stuff, but there's no point in messing with a classic. 'Oh when the Hearts' is one song that really gets most of the stadium going but on Sunday people were singing it at three different paces it seemed.

Jambo Ell Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I HATE the all slow version but like the version we sang in G on Sunday where the tempo gets quicker as the song is sung. It may well have been sung on Thursday but despite having a ticket I was ill and had to miss out! Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it! Although the reason I hate the slow version could well be that it reminds me of missing out on White Hart Lane!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Our version is a bit different from Spurs whose slow bit goes on and on for ages.

JP1874 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The reason why we started doing the slower version is the spurs fans tried it once & we totally "stole" it from them & some of their fans weren't happy we could do it better. So it was just a pee take that the only song spurs sing was hijacked and sung better. Personally don't care, will always remember WHL if we sing it normal or slowly.

peni hearts Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Sounded great in London but wasn't great on Sunday! If enough hearts fans sing it I think it can create a great atmosphere.

Pants Shaton Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hearts should stick to our own, self-penned, original songs like the fast version of 'Oh when the Hearts...', which was written by Ronnie Corbett (lyrics) and Willie Bauld (tune), in the Tynie Arms, in 1961. The slow spurs version, which builds in volume and tempo, sounds great at WHL - when their fans are up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
