Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Just been listening to that great song by Paul Simon. What lovely happy music it is. It beats most contemporary atonal crap into a cocked hat. Why can''t anybody write decent melodies these days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted December 3, 2008 [quote user="AndyJR"]What song do people associate with successful times at Norwich City?[/quote]There was that jolly tune we used to sing "Going up, up, up" to during the Worthy Championship-winning promotion season. Those were the days when almost the whole ground were singing. Happy memories! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted December 3, 2008 I''m no expert on the guitar, but doesn''t Paul Simon have an excellent technique on the acoustic guitar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seat124 0 Posted December 3, 2008 "Two little boys" used to be sung (god knows why)when part of the barclay used to swap ends at half time, if we kicked towards river end in second half in the late 60''s early 70''s. Yes, it could be done!"we hate nottingham forest etc" was also a tune sung with gusto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy 728 Posted December 3, 2008 I was just thinking yesterday that I couldnt remember the last time I sang ''Que sera sera. Whatever will be will be.We''re going to Wemberley. Que sera sera''. And even less so ''Tell me Ma me Ma. To put the champagne on ice. We''re going to Wembley twice. Que sera sera''. What I would give to go back to these times. They seemed normality at the time. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
