Surely time to honour ‘Der Kaiser’ with this classic Proclaimers and Hibs song. Just the chorus part:

Whiiiiile the chief
Puts sunshiiiiine on Sheaf
I thank him
For his work
And your birth
And my biiiiirth
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhhhhhh

Tweak or ignore as suitable

Can’t outdo the originals, heard it at Easter Road a number of times. Still a classic though and easy to do even for the coked up contingent

When Hibs sung that at Hampden Park after a cup final win over Rangers in 2016 it makes you shudder, great anthem!
Edit
Sorry CBS16 didn't see you'd posted the actual clip, yes one of the best definitely!

That’s brilliant. I’m no song writer but just to join in the fun:

To the tune of Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

We all said Ben-Sheaf was shite,
Now he’s fucking dynamite.

Got the boy from Arsenal,
Now he lives in Willenhall!

Funny story. When I was little, I only ever heard the Eric Burden and the Animals version and I thought it was actually THEIR song, as did my brothers. We all loved it. Then, suddenly, on the radio one day, we heard this other version, the Johnny Cash original version and we all burst out laughing. We thought it was the funniest, most ridiculous thing ever and a send-up.

The Animals version is a lot heavier, rockier and intense.

Like the Sunshine on Leith.

To: my old man's a dustman

'Ben Sheaf in the middle
Ben Sheaf in attack
Ben Sheaf winning headers
And Ben Sheaf at the back
He never takes a shot, 'cos we all know that he'll miss
But when it comes to football
He takes the f*cking piss.

What about a minor tweak....

He never goes for shooting, 'cos we fear that he will miss

I like that Proclaimers song and always thought it could make a good signature type song like Twist and Shout has but songs about individual players for tend to be bloody corny we seem to have three currently do we need another ? Not for me.

Excellent tune, and he really deserves a song.

The Proclaimers released it when Hibs and Hearts were subject to a merger to make a Edinburgh "Super Club" to challenge the big Clubs like Rangers and Rangers.
I believe all sales of the single went into a Save the Hibs fund.

Wow! I’d not heard about the merger before…or if I had I’d forgotten about it. People have some really shit ideas in football some times.

If you go to Edinburgh and look down at Leath. As a footy fan there's something quite spiritual about looking down at Easter Road
