dune Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 so who sings it? a few idiots tried to get it going near me at reading. thankfully no-one else joined in. without doubt the most cringeworthy song ever.
CB Fry Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I confidently predict that in a few years from now, NC will be held in much higher esteem than anyone previously involved with the club. More than Ted Bates, or Ron Davies, or Matthew Le Tissier, or anyone. Unfortunately we have some significant divs in our fanbase at present who have decided that they support their football club because of the chief executive. Wooo-hooo go that man in a suit.
saintchris23 Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Is this another attempt at trolling Dune? In reply to your question, sure I sing it. It's another song that breaks up the monotony of OWTSGMI and with a bit of 'thumping/clapping' it's actually quite a good song. I'm neither an idiot or a spotty teenager for the record. Having to sit in the executive boxes meant I got a full on experience of our away support for the first time (without being involved of course) and it was awesome.
paulwantsapint Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 It's not the greatest song but until we can do a Celtic & have atleast 1 song per player it stops us singing anti skate songs for a couple of mins
Wes Tender Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 It really is the most cringeworthy song. Does Cortese come from Italy, or is he an Italian Swiss, who actually comes from Switzerland? I couldn't find very much at all about where he was born, or anything much about his personal details. Has he ever voiced any hatred at all towards Pompey? I don't recall any public spat like the one between Lowe and Mandaric for example, so in the absence of anything at all to suggest any animosity towards the Skates, that line looks puerile and infantile.
Mowgli Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 We must be doing something right if that's all there is to moan about!!
Ken Tone Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 We must be doing something right if that's all there is to moan about!! It's a Dune thread ..started by a man who's posted over 13,000 times in a little over 2 years .. almost 500 times a month, ie 16 or 17 times a day, every day. Presumably sooner or later it will get round to slagging off ' loony lefties' and praising UKIP. Don't expect to take these threads too seriously. Think of it as being like Care in the Community.
JRM Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 so who sings it? a few idiots tried to get it going near me at reading. thankfully no-one else joined in. without doubt the most cringeworthy song ever. some blokes on my row at Palace tried starting it a couple of times but luckily no one joined in, all mid to late 20s wearing their saints shirts on top of their jumpers / hoodies, their inability to even dress themselves with an ounce of style tells you all you need to know

Does Lallana make Messi look sh1te? IS Lee Barnard wanted by Scotland yard? Is he small or hard for that matter? Are Southampton indeed 'by far the greatest team the world has ever seen' When you were just a little boy, did you ask your mother 'What shall I be...." Chants are very rarely factually correct. Get over it
shurlock Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Dune-too right.I think you should phone the boys at talksport about this.

Are Southampton indeed 'by far the greatest team the world has ever seen' When you were just a little boy, did you ask your mother 'What shall I be...." Chants are very rarely factually correct. Get over it Actually, this is the one which of course is not factually correct, but if sung by the true supporter is actually believd by him/her, and hence to him/her is true. So it is fact. In the eyes and mind of the true supporter, even when lodged near the bottom of division 3. Pretty much like religion then.
This Charming Man Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 The Saints Range, Matchday Edition - brought to you by fashion expert JRM... You don't need to be a fashion expert to know that wearing a t-shirt on top of a jumper makes you look like a spanner. You wouldn't go to work with your shirt over your suit jacket, you wouldn't go down the boozer with your boxers over your jeans (though you may leave that way). So why turn up at a football match with a replica shirt over a jumper? Oh and the song is easily one of the most cringeworthy songs we've come up with and that's saying something. Still doesn't stop Sour Mash trying to get it started at every game though...
Griffo Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Still doesn't stop Sour Mash trying to get it started at every game though... That and 'red and white barmy army'
Prince Jazzbo Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Does Lallana make Messi look sh1te? IS Lee Barnard wanted by Scotland yard? Is he small or hard for that matter?

Get over it Do the Saints actually go marching in. I've yet to be convinced.
Dig Dig Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 he deserves a song due to his introduction of ticket taxes and car parking fee's alone. This keeps away porpers like Dune
hypochondriac Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 It really is the worst chant we do and that is saying something considering some of the awful ones we have.
hypochondriac Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Write a better song then. Or song one of the multitude of songs that are less cringeworthy and that don't reference a chief executive hating another football team.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Can we also stop the morons in the high-vis who constantly, regardless of tens of people telling them to "shut the **** up", persist on shouting "PORK!"
shurlock Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 (edited) Redeeming feature is that Cortese probably hates it - has gone on record as saying that he doesn't bring his kids to the football because of the language. The chant is nice an crude insofar as it brings his highness down to earth for a bit and is set on the fans own terms. Don't like it but way better than the ridiculous Jose Fonte chant. Edited 28 October, 2011 by shurlock
Sour Mash Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 That and 'red and white barmy army' Good thing about both those songs is it make it easy to identify any bell ends standing around you that sing/clap along. Two s**t songs though, not sure which I hate more.
This Charming Man Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Can we also stop the morons in the high-vis who constantly, regardless of tens of people telling them to "shut the **** up", persist on shouting "PORK!" They are morons of the highest order. I've often seen them shouting 'pork' then all giggling like mongs. People like that should be put down.
dune Posted 28 October, 2011 Author Posted 28 October, 2011 some blokes on my row at Palace tried starting it a couple of times but luckily no one joined in, all mid to late 20s wearing their saints shirts on top of their jumpers / hoodies, their inability to even dress themselves with an ounce of style tells you all you need to know You think that's bad. I was in KFC before the Reading game and on the next table I saw a chubby bald bloke dressed up in stone Island Jeans/cream stone island jumper (wondered if it was Stu ha) and when he stood up to leave he proceeded tuck tuck his replica shirt in under his jumper. The mind boggles about some of our fans.
Turkish Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 They are morons of the highest order. I've often seen them shouting 'pork' then all giggling like mongs. People like that should be put down. I disagree. These people are funny, proper characters. The sort of people who cant walk past a pair of glasses without trying them on and looking round at everyone.
mynameisthehulk Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Is this thread a joke or sutin? Cortese is made from Gods sperm, whereas you are made from **** sperm

Are Southampton indeed 'by far the greatest team the world has ever seen' When you were just a little boy, did you ask your mother 'What shall I be...." Chants are very rarely factually correct. Get over it The other chants have some element of irony or wit about them. The Cortese chant doesn't have either of those things as far as I can see, unless you'll beg to differ and see something I don't. I don't need to get over it, beyond cringing when some of our fans chant it. But then I accept that our fan base includes all types, some a bit brighter than average, some a bit less bright. And as a clue, IMO it isn't the brighter ones who sing it.
DJ_TOAST Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 What I find cringeworthy is people still singing "we're coming for you, we're coming for you etc" when we're now coming for them by fckin coach.
Fan The Flames Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Its by far the sh*test song the world has ever heard
Fan The Flames Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 That and 'red and white barmy army' No actually sings barmy army, its a mixture of Nigles Army and Southampton Army.
Turkish Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 What I find cringeworthy is people still singing "we're coming for you, we're coming for you etc" when we're now coming for them by fckin coach. This could be the ideal opporunity to get the much requested "wheels on the bus" song going. Are we will be both on Niges bus and literally on a bus. I'll lead the singing at Fratton park with my "i heart Cortese" vest over my hooded top and Saints shirt.
alehouseboys Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 That and 'red and white barmy army' Combine the 2...our beloved Saints and Italian supremo..."Red and White Pepperami"...
The9 Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 What I find cringeworthy is people still singing "we're coming for you, we're coming for you etc" when we're now coming for them by fckin coach. My only issue with that song is that we already got back in the same league, bypassed them in August and are now coming for the Premier League, with them distantly in our rear view mirrors, already the mildly irritating buzzing gnat that lives in our shadow again. There is the little matter of the last two results to sort out though, I suppose. The method of transport to Fratton is neither here nor there.
Barry the Badger Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I sing it. I really don't understand what people are getting so worked up about.
The9 Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 No actually sings barmy army, its a mixture of Nigles Army and Southampton Army. Everyone around me sings Barmy Army. I just leave that bit silent.
Fan The Flames Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I supposed our nadir was singing "Chelsea" against Manchester United on relegation day.
Saint_clark Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I sing it. I really don't understand what people are getting so worked up about. This. He's done more for our club than any of the current players, and most of them have chants.
Barry the Badger Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Everyone around me sings Barmy Army. I just leave that bit silent. Why?
Sour Mash Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Everyone around me sings Barmy Army. I just leave that bit silent. As do most people around me unfortunately, although what most people seem to enjoy doing is clapping along frantically like a demented seal.
The9 Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Why? Because it's excrutiatingly lame and I'm very choosy about which songs I sing. The Cortese song is a total no-no because it is utterly for gimps in every way shape and form, plus I won't sing the last line of the Jose Fonte song because it's not faithful to the original and that mildly irritates me, and in addition, I don't sing "Southampton til I die" because I used to sing the same song when I was a Newport County fan before their bankruptcy and I try my best not to be hypocritical about these things. I also didn't have a problem with us singing the "shoe-bomber" song at Mido, for what it's worth. I readily accept that few others put anywhere near this amount of thought into these things, but I do. Somewhere between everyone singing absolutely anything and the club playing Amarillo before every home game there's someone's line being crossed.
The9 Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 As do most people around me unfortunately, although what most people seem to enjoy doing is clapping along frantically like a demented seal. I don't think you can argue with the strength of "RED AND WHITE" as a chant on it's own, really. It's a much stronger unified chant of Saints' identity than some cobblers about a sometimes-liked authority figure. Clapping like a demented seal is entertaining though.
Appy Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 I remember some fans in 08/09 when we played United in the Cup, singing "Liverpool, top of the league", now that was cringeworthy.
Gemmel Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Who remembers the celery song? 25 years on and I still have no idea where that came from, who it was directed at (If anyone) or for what reason (If any)
Fan The Flames Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 As do most people around me unfortunately, although what most people seem to enjoy doing is clapping along frantically like a demented seal. Is because you have weak wrists and **** timing and the song makes you look like a retard.
JRM Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 Who remembers the celery song? 25 years on and I still have no idea where that came from, who it was directed at (If anyone) or for what reason (If any) should do that one game this year and throw a load of celery on the pitch for old times sake
This Charming Man Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 should do that one game this year and throw a load of celery on the pitch for old times sake I saw someone at Brighton at home last year being chucked out as he launched a stick of celery. He probably got sent down for 6 months and is currently on a 6 year banning order.
JRM Posted 28 October, 2011 Posted 28 October, 2011 One of my most hated songs has got to me "i've got a shed, that's bigger than this" it is f*cking abysmal rubbish song that makes me want to lash out at anyone within reach who is singing it
