richie 0 Posted January 2, 2010 Is there any way we can come up with a better song for Grant than ''we f*cking love Grant Holt''. As you have all probably noticed he does not even acknowledge this chant, however at Southend we chanted ''we really love Grant Holt''......and he responded to us each time we did it. It really does sound low rent, and makes us sound thick, which I know we are not. Can we come up with a better song and I am sure you will see a response from Grant. I mean I can swear with the best of you but when we are praising a player this is NOT the way to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 3, 2010 Single syllable first and surnames are tricky. Has he got a middle name?Granty Holt is too naff and Grant Holty is a no no.Gary Holt presented a similar problem although Ga....ry is splittable so he was here there and everywhere da de dah!Pity he hasn''t yet scored for Norwich against the scum.I sussest the answer is to use Grantholt as a two syllable single word and fit it into a song that way.He has been a leader on the pitch all season so why not a bit of retro with ''Grant Holt is our leader'' or ''Born is the king of Carrow Road?'' It will go well with his 70''s haircut! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted January 3, 2010 Personally I don''t see what ius wrong with the current chnat and he does acknowledge it as I have seen him do so at both Southend and Wycombe.If people are offended by the use of the word f**k then they should stay at home and not attend football matches. Having said that if anyone puts forward a better alternative then I am sure it will take off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Binky 0 Posted January 3, 2010 [quote user="Mister Chops"]Must be some kind of "Go West"/"Grant Holt" possibilities.[/quote]Good shout Mr Chops. Think most want a "chant" rather than a song but this could provide both. There are 2 intro verses before the "Go West" anthem (you probably only need one of them) with each line beginning "Together" - that could be retained or "Canaries!" substituted for all or some of the "Together"s. Then the main verse to "Go West". The chanters could sing the "Together" (or "Canaries!") and "Grant Holt" while those who can, could sing the rest. (Together) We can Fly So High(Together) City ''til we die(Together) Grant Holt is our man(Together) We''re his greatest fan(Grant Holt!) He can run and run(Grant Holt!) And he scores for fun(Grant Holt!) Captain of our team(Grant Holt!) He''s a goal machineToo complicated? (btw - on You Tube there''s simple hand-clapping intro to it...)

Binky 0 Posted January 3, 2010 [quote user="Nexus_Canary"]just my 5 pence on the song , hope you dont mind Swapped some two lines and changed 2 Nice though Blinky[/quote]hope you dont mind - Not at all - Mr Chops was the inspiration and the words have neither copyright nor literary merit.Swapped some two lines - that is how I had it originally! changed 2 - Hmm. Not sure about the lungs/hung lines - if that''s an improvement? - maybe someone can ask the man himself. (Anyway you are a few syllables short of a scan!)Try it with "Canaries!" instead of "Together". Your "Yellow" works well with that too.
