GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted March 17 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 ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 😳 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Convento 14 Posted March 18 I think this clarifies it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcc0SypkFGo I particularly enjoy the 'Werewolves of London' interlude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited March 18 by TheGunnShow 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millwall’s famous chant is to the tune of Sailing and they’ve been singing since the late 70s I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

debbie does norwich 24 Posted March 18 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted March 18 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). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serinus canaria 29 Posted March 18 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?).

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.

Mr Angry 2,019 Posted March 18 (edited) My mind has gone completely blank-what tune is the Sainz song-Paella, Estrella?
