Turkish Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 It’s good. But I feel these lyrics might resonate more with our fans. Plus it’s too slow to us. So How about wish Pompey would leave hampshire wish the dirty skates would go away they’ve got nothing to live for hate Pompey til my dying day So I’m just sitting on the dock of the bay hating Pompey every day sitting on the dock of the bay wasting time clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Bates Statue Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Again, I think it's been floated before, but I'd like to put in a word for the chorus to Sailing. We don't necessarily even need to change the words. Great anthem, which incidentally, I recently found out was not originally by Rod Stewart. However, for the benefit of those who are capable of only vocalising along to the Rickie Lambert song instead of singing the actual words, I have taken the trouble to devise some alternative lyrics that are slightly easier to grasp. It goes like this: Southampton, Southampton, Southampton, Southampton. Southampton, Southampton, Southampton, Southampton. I strongly recommend that you all absorb this and do your utmost to commit these lyrics to memory so it can be belted out at the weekend.

Saint Marky Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Yeah, suppose we don’t sing it cause it’s shit, a bit like ‘we’re the itchen over here…’but we really need to up our game, I did here a quiet rendition of the great Stuart Armstrong song, guess it’s a bit long and tricky for most to pick up, but his hair truly is fricking fine, but the belters are a bit less frequent now.

NewYorkSaint Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Given that we've been relegated but may well be about to go back up, I can't think of a better anthem than Chumbawumba Tubthumping. It's actually a drinking song, which may help for later, but we can literally just coopt the anthem part. "Oh, Southampton... Southampton... Southampton............. I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN. YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN. I GET KNOCKED DOWN, BUT I GET UP AGAIN. YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN." I know from personal experience this is one of the best, most addictive, most singable, most inspiring anthems. If another club as used it, I don't know of it, but that might just be me. Would also be great for those moments one of our players gets savagely hacked at. A great way to cheer them back to their feet! If you guys can get this going, I WILL COME BACK FROM AMERICA TO JOIN IN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Said it so many times in the past, but slow songs, and/or one with a sustained long note at some stage are the only ones that ever spread around a ground, simply because they can. As you say, it gives other blocks a chance to latch onto to the tune as well as understanmd the words to know where they are in the song when it first reaches them. OWTSGMI (slow) and We're by far the greatest team and the only two (plus COYR and Yellows which are hardly songs but they're slow) that ever seem to spread round the ground at SMS for that very reason. Off the top of my head, just a few from random songs from other clubs, YNWA, Allez Allez, Bubbles, Delilah, Blaydon Races, too many to mention by ManUre away support, Marching on together, PUP (sorry), Don't take me home. All seem to spread around whatever grounds they are sung at because they are at a speed where all parts of the ground can work out what is beein sung once they hear it and join in at the correct speed. Ultra fast clappy songs are fine for a small section but they're never going to spread around the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
