Everywhere Chant

[Far East Anglian 2]

Heard Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac being chanted at the weekend. Anyone know the lyrics?

If our fans really are going to take this on, lets hope we're more in tune than when Man City fans sing it....which is toe curlingly painful to listen to !

Believe me, our version was awful yesterday, mentioned it on another thread. Worst thing was that they were singing the wrong notes-I know that not everyone can sing, but for everybody to be so out of tune is unbelievable 😳

They were singing the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Let's just rewind...

It's a godawful song to start with from soft rock cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac.

[El Convento 14]

I think this clarifies it:

I particularly enjoy the 'Werewolves of London' interlude.

Was going to type this, thought I'd check the thread before I did, and you beat me to it.

Amusingly, in German they also have a direct translation of the phrase "great minds think alike", but as a counter, they also have a reverse version thrown back in conversation, so if you were to say "Grosse Geister denken gleich" ("great minds think alike" in German), you might get countered with "Zwei Dummen, ein Gedanke!" (Two idiots, one thought).

Wonder if they have that in French?

EDIT: Incidentally, when watching that match in Jena just before Christmas last year, they had a chant before the game started to the tune of "Sailing". That was always one of the odder songs to put a chant to, I thought.

Millwall’s famous chant is to the tune of Sailing and they’ve been singing since the late 70s I think.

I know, that's why I put the word "always" in there - especially when considering Millwall's reputation, a gentle-paced song about longing such as Sailing seems a bit incongruous anyway!

EDIT: Incidentally, Jena's goal music was the instrumental to Chelsea Dagger, by the Fratellis. Foot-stomper, definitely.

They may have been Neanderthal racist thugs but those 70s skinhead hooligans understood the power of irony 🤣

I had the first album by the Clash on yesterday and thought the chorus to Bored with the USA could very easily be made into a chant

[debbie does norwich 13]

The guy next to me mentioned how bad it was but I couldn't remember the F.M. original nor pick out the tune or words so I couldn't really make any comment.

[TheGunnShow 5,940]

If I go back to Germany and this song - particularly the "Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da dam dam dam, da-da dam" bit - hasn't been turned into a chant or goal celebration....

(Gotta be Cologne, really - Miljö is one of their bands).

Why not make one based around the hokey Cokey

We can't even manage "Voulez vous" in tune - we've got no chance with "Everywhere" (as proved Saturday) 🤣

But at least fans are trying 👌

[Nuff Said 5,142]

It would be great to have something original. Sargent’s on fire is embarrassing. Even USA,USA is better.

I took me a long time to realise "Farke on a Horse" had anything to do with "Waterfall"

One of the most erroneous statements I've ever seen on this forum.

[rock bus 852]

I "heard" this at Stoke and couldn't work out what on earth was being sung? Just sounded like an almost  inaudible whisper?!?

I have wondered this recently, apart from OTBC do we have any chants/songs unique to our fanbase? (Genuine interest and not a dig at our creativity!)

I think there have been some great chants this season (Salt n Pepa, Voulez Vous, that Sainz one...) but I've also heard them sung by the away fans and at other games (maybe not Salt n Pepa?).

The English comeback is "fools seldom differ".

(What a great word 'seldom' is. I seldom use it and vow to do so more in future.)

I was at Stoke, this must have been the song that no one knew the words to so most were mumbling along and out of tune

A friend of a friend, on hearing that two people “are of one mind”, invariably responds that it makes them both half-wits

(File under ‘clever-sounding nonsense’ but it gets a laugh)

Wasn’t Sargent’s on fire started as a p*** take as many thought he was a duff signing ?

If I have remembered that correctly, definitely time to change it.

I thought that was On the Ball City.

Yesss. And great album.

Sadly nothing unique unless my Kenny Mclean chant gets off the ground:

To the tune of 'She bangs the drum' by The Stone Roses.....

'Have you seen or have you heard 

The way he plays there are no words 

To describe Kenny McLean 

 

He's the mayor of City Hall

Watch him pointing at the ball

Super Kenny, Kenny McLeeean 

Kenny McLeeean'

 

I'll get my coat.

My favourite one in German is the retort to their version of "new brooms sweep clean". A witty German will say "but the old ones know the corners".

My mind has gone completely blank-what tune is the Sainz song-Paella, Estrella?

(I’m not even going to mention how unlikely it is that someone from the Basque region would drink a beer that’s brewed in Barcelona).
