If anyone is going down that route, I'd just stick with the original lyrics. Most people already know them and therefore easier to get it going, as it's quite a tricky tune/timing for the terraces to adopt.

That wouldn't fit though would it, it's a song about someone that is pissing about and needs to sort out their life. Not exactly what you'd want to be associated with!

I don't think there is a way to make it work well

I know it can be hard to shift once someone has a song, but surely we’re failing if his isn’t to the tune of A Message to You, Rudy:

Coupla million pounds (aah-aah-ah)
City’s 5 for the future (aah-aah-ah)
Rudoni’s messing about (aah-aah-ah)
Creating goals all around….
(aah-aah-ah)
Rudi!
The City loves you Rudi!

Not quite sure how I’ve managed to miss this for the last 9 months until now.
Exceptional work 👏

I think you're overthinking it a bit. He said the song was played to him as a kid and he likes it, the band are from Cov. I doubt it will happen anyway, but simple is always best.

Nah it's weird to sing a song that's calling some out for wasting their life. If people can remember that bloody Tats song they can remember a few word changes

How about:
Victor Torp and Matt Grimes,
Premier League is our future,
Saka picking Wright out,
You've got problems all round
Ahhahhh…
RUDI!
A message* from Ru-do-ni

*replace with header/screamer/etc as appropriate?

Or maybe not...

Yeah, agreed. Just sing a song that's got his nickname in it already. Don't make work for yourselves!

I get the points people have made but it's a bit different singing something positive that isn't true over singing you are a waster that needs to sort your life out!

I mean even having an imaginary massive head is a net positive for a defender.

Our 'theme' song is about a depressing place filled with wastrels with no prospects or hope for the future. Not exactly the positive vibe we're looking for is it.

Is having a fucking massive head a positive then?

That's not how I read that. I feel like it's about Having hope and something to enjoy despite maybe not the most glamorous surroundings, staying positive.

Rudy is different. Pointless either way as new chants off here never take off.

The standard of chants has tanked for me, would be nice to have something original rather than recycled from an old player or another team but even the ones we've borrowed are not as catchy as a few seasons back.

Interesting.

Personally I see Live and Die In These Towns as a statement saying you can have hope but the reality is you'll almost certainly die living the same existence you are now. Clinging on because all you've got left is hope, but chances are it's not going to actually get any better.

Sorry if that's depressed people!

I get that but the line that changes it for me is:

"It never happens for people like us, you know. Well, nothing ever happened on it's own"

For me it's your life might feel like shit, you might live in a craphole but that's your life and there isn't any point in wallowing. Make the most of what you have. Things can get better but the won't if you let it get on top of you.

I mean it's pretty apt for Covs last decade +

But then the entire chorus negates that by clearly stating numerous times "We'll Live and Die In These Towns".

In doesn't say "We'll Live In These Towns But Die In A Nice Village Because Things Will Get Better"

I meant more make better of your situation. You might live and die in these towns but you can't let that beat you down, there are still nuggets of joy to be had.

I was listening to the Cranberries and thought Zombies . Now I’ve had a few 🍺🍺🍺 probably too many but bear with and finish.

He’s in your head he’s in your head
Rudoni Rudoni Rudoni
With his feet and his head and his head with his runs you are dead
Rudoni Rudoni Rudoni

I’ll get me coat 🧥
