Songs We No Longer Sing (1 Viewer)

[Cov kid 55]

Some of the older lads recall this one:
Dougan on the West End front, parlez vous,
Dougan on the West End front, parlez vous,
Dougan on the West End front, give us a gun we'll shoot the c**t,
Inky pinky parlez vous.

Yep, a good mid sixties song when Wolves were the real enemy, not Leicester or Villa. I don’t remember this being sung at the City, but my Grandad used to sing…

aye aye aye aye, Glazier is better than Yashin,
and Gibson is better than Eusebio,
and Wolves are in for a thrashing.

Almost right, gibbo is better than eusebio was the ditty

 

[Nick]

No it's not, it was nicked from Blackpool, they sang it about the Oysten's.

Yeah. Point proven.

 

[AndreasB]

One thing that I had an irrational hatred of was the ‘slow hand clap’ if the ref had made a shit decision.

Even typing that it sounds utterly bizarre and pisses me off.

THE REFEREES A WANKER is sung to the tune of “Remember You’re a Womble”

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Not ours but I like ‘we are Brummies’ by Birmingham fans:

We are Brummies, yes we are, we are Brummies
You are wankers, yes you are, you are wankers, yes you are

 

[ricohroar]

Not sure if its been mentioned as not gone through all 11 pages but Cccccccooooooovvvvvvvveeennnnnttttrryyyyyyyyyyyy in a long echo like call fro the old west terrace even used to be used at the start of the then Mercia Sound football coverage show.

 

[Evo1883]

Drink a drink a drink to lily the pink probably mentioned already

 

[Wiseoldfool]

I don't recall anybody mentioning to the tune of she'll be coming round the mountain.


We've got the best centre forward in the land,(repeated)
Singing Aye Aye Huddy Huddy Hud.

Wolves had a centre forward called Hughie McAmoyle which fitted a lot better.

You're the third to mention it, and the spelling keeps getting longer and longer
It was a haunting chant that rang around the whole ground.

 

[Tripehound]

There’s only one Peter Ndlovu…
…Walking in a winter wonderland

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

He is here he is there / he is every fxxxxxing where is Andy Blair Andy Blair

 

[SBT]

We've got the best centre forward in the land,(repeated)
Singing Aye Aye Huddy Huddy Hud.

Think I’ve heard someone singing this about Kyle Hudlin at the CBS for what it’s worth

 

[Calista]

We all come from Coventry doo-dah, doo-dah

 

[slowpoke]

‘Score in a minute, we’re gonna score in a minute’,
And it seemed we like we usually did.

We’d be singing that most of the game at the moment.

 

[Nuskyblue]

Any song referencing us winning.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Thank god the Doug King song seems to have now joined this list.

 

[ricohroar]

Ole Ole Ole Ole Sky Blues Sky Blues

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Coventry la la la

 

[AOM]

Thank god the Doug King song seems to have now joined this list.

I reckon it could still make a comeback next time we're winning at home

 

[rob9872]

I reckon it could still make a comeback next time we're winning at home

How shit must you be, we're winning at home ...

 

[Matt smith]

E I E I E I E O up the football league we go

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be will be
We’re going to Shrewsbury
Que sera, sera

 

[Theonlywayisskyblue]

I had a wheel barrow and the wheel fell off, a strange one from the Spion Kop.

Why did we sing this one ? First time I heard it I thought I’d been abducted by aliens and taken to a foreign land. Was it just me who didn’t get it ?

 

[AJB1983]

Only really worked once he left us (and I can’t remember singing it while he was with us), but to Huckerby:
“Same old Darren, always offside”

and first season at Ricoh, when we went on a great home run (probably would only work that first season when teams played there the first time, and we went ahead)
“Welcome to the Ricoh, welcome to the Ricoh, a la la la”

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Tiswas/Swapshop, (in the West End) when there weren't many away fans to have banter with (or when the game was deadly dull)! Edit: if I scroll back through the thread, I've probably already mentioned this

 

[Gleneagles65]

‘You’re going to get your fcuking heads kicked in’ sang at every away fans, at any ground in the 70’s if the away team took the lead.

 

[Calista]

I had a wheel barrow and the wheel fell off,
a strange one from the Spion Kop.

The second line is even wierder than the first, but rhyming 'off' with 'Kop' is quite creative chanting tbf

 

[wingy]

You're going home in a f**king ambulance.

 

[Calista]

You're going home in a f**king ambulance.

I didn't think my post would upset anyone that much

 

[Happy_Martian]

aye aye aye aye, Glazier is better than Yashin,
and Gibson is better than Eusebio,
and Wolves are in for a thrashing.

Not heard those versions but after our pounding of Blackburn 5-2 in their back yard, the Cov fans exited Ewood Park singing "We all agree Quinny is better than Shearer" to the same tune

 

[Covkid1968#]

One of the most stressful 5 seconds going is when you bellow out the start of a song and there is that slight pause and silence when nobody joins in!! I haven’t started one for years and if I tried it in block one I’d be frowned at for disturbing people.

 

[WestEndAgro]

Why did we sing this one ? First time I heard it I thought I’d been abducted by aliens and taken to a foreign land. Was it just me who didn’t get it ?

Absolutely no idea, very random to say the least.
It would be sang for quite a while aswell.

 

[Joy Division]

Between 2015 - 2017 Tony Mowbray to League 1 relegation season Three Little Birds was a regular. I used to like that but just seemed to stop by the time the League 2 campaign started.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

The wheelbarrow song is still sung by Notts County fans, but at a lot slower tempo than how I remember our lot singing it.

I don't remember that, but I do remember Rangers/ Celtic for the same reasons as you mention for your chant.
