RedAndWhite91 Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 There were a bunch of us sang your song it for quite a while after he scored BUT we tried telling the lads to slow it down a bit - people were turning round and listening but couldn't get the words as it was sung too quickly. It sounded brilliant and I'm sure it will catch on - great song R&W :-) Gonna take loads of printed copies of words to Swindon - hope you don't mind. Sounds brill - have to make it catch on :-) Excellent, pleased to hear that it got sung a bit, well happy with that!!! That's a pretty sound idea too, if it will make it catch on then go for it, don't mind at all (You should put 'by RedAndWhite91 and Um Bongo' at the bottom though ). I just got my tickets for Swindon so I will be there singing it proudly tomorrow night... Can't wait Thanks Corrrr I am well excited something I have helped do is going to be sung by Saints fans! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to agree with you but I can't see people picking up the words, especially knowing how fast our fans insist on singing every song. OWTS is almost unrecognisable nowadays because of the speed so a new song with more than 10 words is unlikely to catch on without a little help imo. Sad but true perhaps.

Griffo darling we're not gonna force them on anyone - if you don't wanna play then that's fine. All I know is if it was me it would take ages to 'catch on' - things are sung so quickly these days. If you had heard those of us that sang at Huddersfield you would know how good it sounded and we're all getting a bit fed up with the same old same old. There were people looking at us with puzzled looks but big grins - they liked it too but couldn't join in. If you feel we're sad then we're sorry we're just trying to embody the new feelings of optimism and this is a little bit we can do ;-) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Um Bongo and RedAndWhite91 I managed to pick up the words on Saturday without having read the words on here beforehand, and I've been singing it ever since! Love the song and it will sound so good with thousands singing it. Just out of interest, was the second bit predecided or did it just sort of happen at the game? It went like this: 'la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la' All the way through until the end line of 'ricke lambert, he's southampton's goal machine.' It sounded amazing and gradually got a bit faster, then the first verse started again slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a true artist, you should let your art go. The other two will suffer the fate of growing fat on the royalties and live lives of excess and wanton hedonism, dying at a ripe old age in the style of Oliver Reed. You, however, will gain the true, spiritual kudos reserved only for the greatest of artists, and die penniless, drunk, heartbroken and forgotten in a gutter on a cold wet night in Barnsley. In 50 years time the truth will finally out and films and books will be made in your honour, allowing another group of charlatans to grow fat on the etc etc etc....

Um Bongo suggested it I think... Sounds like it sounds good though, can't wait for tomorrow. As the writing credits seem to be nailed down for the first verse, I wondered if I could get in on the action by suggesting the following for the second and subsequent run-throughs: la-la la-la la-la la-la Rickie, Rickie, la-la la-la la-la la-la Rickie, Rickie, He gets the ball he takes the **** He wears the shirt of Matt le Tiss Rickie Lambert, Southampton's Goal Machine Repeat 'till bored! I think the first two lines of the original are the not as good as the rest, and replacing them with the above after the first run through has the added bonus of there being less words to remember! I expect a credit on all songsheets and royalty cheques on the 1st day of each month or you will be hearing from my solicitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
