Yorkshire Saint Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 Can anyone remember this song on the Milton Road, why it was sung and can someone remind me of the words...something like "celery, celery ....... With a lump of chewing gum celery celery" Also, why have a lot of songs I loved disappeared is it just no one remembers them, like, " I can't read and I can't write but that don't really matter etc" or "Go down pub have ten pints etc" is it the PC brigade ?

ericb Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 Celery and Ten men went to mow were Chelsea songs, never understood why a few of our fans decide to rehash them now, especially ten men went to mow, since every other club in the country (and i guess most of our fans of a certain age) associate them with Chelsea. Not sure it's got anything to do with the "p.c brigade" as they weren't racist and p.c brigade is a term usually used by people who want to get away with being racist or xenophobic. A lot of it is probably down to us older lot not having the memories we once did though, since i tend to forget the old songs from the Milton. Wasn't there something we used to sing about hating Nottingam Forest? Or have i just made that up in the fog of my memories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecho Lobo Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 Celery was the "hilarious" pastiche of "Wember-lee" because it had the same number of syllables. Same goes for the Nottingham Forest song- it just scanned rather than us hating Forest, since as I recall that chant was sung by a lot of clubs.

ericofarabia Posted 29 September, 2014 Share Posted 29 September, 2014 In the 70's ..... about 2 seconds after the away team had scored .... all heads turned towards the away support and an almighty "You're gonna get your phucking heads kicked in" would ring out.

And I've never heard " Newcastle Brown" before. More stupid 'lyrics' but it did start out as "We only drink brown" as back in the 70s when this was first sung we were sponsored by Watneys, famous for Watneys Brown, and drunk in the bar down the side of the old Milton terrace. Somehow over the years it got changed to "rum", even more bizarre! Got a bit of a runout in our corner at the Emirates last week, the same weirdos were also singing " Come on you reds".

Trumush Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 I think it had more to do with brown rhyming with town rather than what we drunk back in the day.

Wurzel Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 I vaguely a quick chorus of "I'm singing in the rain" which would morph into some weird dance routine always resulted in someone finding themselves dangling at the end of a long arm of the law.

No 2 to Maybush Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 I used to like the Southampton chant, spelling out the name, reminded me of the scene in the Italian Job when Noel Coward came down the steps in Jail.

cambsaint Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 I always used to like "If I had the wings of a sparrow, If I had the a#se of a crow I'd fly over fratton tomorrow and s#it on the bustards below, below, S#it on, S'it on the bustards below. Rather pathetic that I still remember it. Also a nasty one from a QPR mate at Uni: Limp on, Limp on with our boots in your heads, And you'll never walk again Utterly disgraceful but for some reason I remember it and I wasn't a hooli. I can still remember when in the early sixties we were the only team singing Oh When the Saints. Spuds seem to have borrowed it when they had Glory, Glory I trust those going sing something on the lines of your singing our song, or perhaps You've taken our song and our manager too but you can keep the manager The latter could possibly be worked on and made into something decent.

ericb Posted 30 September, 2014 Share Posted 30 September, 2014 The other one i'm not sure why but has changed is We all follow Southampton. In my day (**** i sound old!) it was We all follow Southampton, Over land and sea AND WATER etc. Now the AND WATER seems to have changed to AND PORTSMOUTH. No idea when that changed but it sounds a bit tin pot to me that we mention them in that song (and i'm not adverse to some skate bashing). One of the nastiest i remember from us was about guy whittingham, Whittingham is illegitimate, he ain't got no birth certificate. He's got aids and can't get rid of it, dirty pompey scum.
