Haven’t posted all that much for a while but on the eve of the season I feel it’s the right time to unleash a new terrace classic I’ve been working on for a while.
Now, ok, it’s based on a crummy kids’ song. Your imagination will be required to convert it from the gay little ditty mimed by the felt idiots in the video into a rousing concourse anthem, but I am convinced it can be done.
The (only slightly altered) words are:
It was a sunny day when I went to play
Down at the Stoke
I looked up to the Boothen End and the Boothen Enders spoke
“We’re going this way, that way
Forwards
Backwards
Up and down up and down
Following the Stoke”
Ever since I heard my infant children sputter it out a few weeks ago I thought it had everything - simple and catchy words, the opportunity to change one little bit for each round to keep it interesting (rainy, windy, stormy etc), a deliberately slow start bit (iiiiit waaas aaaaaaa...... possibly accompanied by a half-bowed, arms outstretched, palms down, hand waggling motion - beer everywhere!), and an anthemic middle bit (WE’RE GOING) that everyone can belt out with their heads back and arms spread while plastered. An octave or two lower than the video obviously.
I’m thinking something akin to the “Roooobert Huth Huth Huth” song for our times. Listen to the video a couple of times and then try and stop yourself singing it with my lyrics, I dare you.
I have every conviction my idea will be received warmly and positively, and I look forward to hearing it drowning out the commentary on my stream on Saturday. Enjoy!

You should probably change “forwards and backwards” to “sideways and backwards”

Why bother? It'll be far too noisy for Waggy and Trevor as they sit sipping green tea and nibbling at their prawn sandwiches, with blanket keeping their legs warm. A nice little Mozart inspired ditty would be far more enjoyable, surely.

This is the one Potterlog. A nod towards any furries sitting in the stands, simple melody, needs the lyrics reworking although the final line of the chorus " I wanna try to be nice to everyone" should do just fine for the Oatcake  |

Not sure about this one but we’ve got to find some new songs.
All of ours are rooted in the 1960’s/70’s.
Apart from the ones based on religious songs from the 1860’s!

Maybe in the best tradition of Rainbow we could all get our twangers out when we score.

It's a long long way from Led Zeppelin's "Whole lotta love" belting out in the Logmobile on the journey from Leeds to Stoke matches. Frankly I'm shocked!  |
