Yes, a v tiny minority.
Am I in the minority here, whilst I admire how it’s sung by everyone and been adopted as our ‘anthem’, but I don’t really like it as it’s really quite a depressing song.
To summarise, where we live is shit, you’re stuck here, but try not to let it get to you….
hardly a love song to the city is it?
Or am I missing something?
Get creative then Tommydazzle !Like it now it’s sung loud and unique to us (even though I thought it was a slight ripoff lyrically to the Jam’s That’s Entertainment) - can’t stand Coventry Homes or Twist and Shout. The Torp one makes me want to poke my eardrums out with skewer.

My only problem with WLADITT is that the lyrics are about how bad it is.
My problem is I’ve heard better music coming out my arse after a vindaloo

Just stick some ear muffs on and please, just don't go barging into that mead hall...it'll all end in tears and your mother will be extremly angry.My problem is I’ve heard better music coming out my arse after a vindaloo

I cant pretend to be as well read as Harry, but his emoji was enough to get my curiosity.Le Petomane.
Imagine being paid to break wind up on stage in front of an appreciative audience! Has to be up there with beer taster as a dream job.I cant pretend to be as well read as Harry, but his emoji was enough to get my curiosity.
Google to the rescue!

The lyrics aren't about Cov though, it's just musically and lyrically a generic 00's rewrite of That's Entertainment
rewriting an older more popular song was a trick of theirs, a nation of checkout girls is just a 00's version of common peopleYes, therefore the words 'these towns' rather than 'this town'.

I was all set to defend that as I usually find the derision of young urban music narrow minded and cheap... but that was shit!Wtf is that ?
Some mentioned Enter Sandman earlier as an entrance song (it would be awesome, but without any relevance I can't see it).I just hope we don't get tempted to add goal music, always felt far too artificial.

I don't know, I think it's quite relatable. I've never lived in Cov, but have lot of family who do. I agree the lyrics are a downer, but I don't think the song is. It resonates with me. It's about a feeling. Where you come from, where you're going. It's all transient, but it's all starts with your heritage and your community. And despite never living there I still feel the message is powerful. I live and die on the city results. It part of my family identify. I'm invested in the city, even though I don't live there.Am I in the minority here, whilst I admire how it’s sung by everyone and been adopted as our ‘anthem’, but I don’t really like it as it’s really quite a depressing song.

Honestly I'm not a fan of the song itself, listened to it the other day (haven't really heard the actual song outside the stadium) and was very underwhelmed.My problem is I’ve heard better music coming out my arse after a vindaloo
With a bit of "Going Underground" thrown in for good measure..I like your comparison to That's Entertainment but I think WLADITT is inferior in lyric and melody.
Goal music is generally frowned upon, but if we were to have it, it should be "Guns of Navarone" by the SpecialsSome mentioned Enter Sandman earlier as an entrance song (it would be awesome, but without any relevance I can't see it).
... But as a post goal song
I hate the goal chant. Still sing it tho
Celtic sing it better.As others have said, I personally love WLADITT as an anthem, it's got to be up there as one of the best in the country. You look at Liverpool and "You'll Never Walk Alone" as the benchmark, but you ask yourself, why is it that special? I mean, it's a song from an American musical, which happened to be covered by Gerry and the Pacemakers, the song itself has little to no connection to the city of Liverpool itself (unless someone can point out any ignorance?).
It's seen as special because of the passion of the Liverpool supporters who sing it, and I commend them for that, but the CBS can be close to or maybe even as passionate, whilst singing a song pretty much directly about the city they represent, sung by a, pretty much, Coventry band. It's absolutely brilliant in my view. The song just resonates with the people of Coventry, "yeah, it's a bit of a shithole, but it's our shithole", with the risk of adoption by clubs of cities/towns with similar backgrounds, but it can only truly be claimed by our club.
Do you put extra spunk into the “CITY”?
The clapping needs to stop though. People can’t seem to clap to a beat.I have lots of mates that support various different clubs who all think it’s quality.
A lot of clubs would love to have an ‘anthem’ as good as ours.
