Hmmmm - not sure about that one!

 

Was joking with the friends I was with - bet Rickie takes the p*ss out of everyone else in the changing room. You can't really compare Rickie's chant with Lallana's, Antonio's or Jose's.... Barnard's is catching on and got a few laughs from folks around me when they first heard it today (where have they been? :) ) but Rickie must be grinning ear to ear each time he hears his chant!

I bet when he hears the Liverpool fans sing the Torres version he thinks .... typical scousers .. always nicking things :p

 

PS ... YES I know their version came before ours AND yes I know Rickie is a scouser, but rather than face a barrage of abuse on here I thought it better to explain the punch line :cool:

Oh that's what you were singing about... us old codgers in the Chapel (I am actually 18) couldn't hear you! Good stuff though - nice to get a few new chants out there, especially when there is some wit thrown in.

Good to hear Jose Fonte's song coming from the Northam today.

 

Always nice when there are some new chants reaching the terraces!

 

Wonder if Jose realised people were singing about him today!?

 

I expect he did. Palace had the same song for him i think/

I always wonder if Papa Waigo is happy when people sing his song. He probably hasn't got a firm grasp of English yet - he's probably just happy people are singing his name :)

 

He was warming up, I think at the Orient game, and the Itchen called for him to "give us a wave" and he applauded instead. I wonder if refs realise they're wasting their time when they give him a talking to.

It took a while before the coach's realised that he didn't understand English at all, but now they have hired a translator to explain the offside rule, things are looking a bit better :p

Thought it was an embarrassing chant, but then if I was that bothered I could always try and start something else off.

 

No need to copy his chant from Palace though, can't we be more original?

 

To be fair compared to most of our songs about players it's pretty good.

Sorry to be slow but, what Barnard song are you referring to? The only one i've heard is the same as the old Marian Pahars song.

Heard someone outside at Wembley singing this to the tune of Lady Gaga's Paparazzi:

 

I'm your biggest fan,

I'll follow you until you love me,

Papa - Papa Waigo.

 

Thought it was excellent. Has it taken off yet?

 

More importantly, have you made it back to your chalky haven in Wiltshire yet, or did you suffer/achieve 'loss of innocence' and are now planning trips further afield to - say Shropshire or even Northumberland?

Heard the chant for years now -and its vibe makes its one of my fav- but don't know the words. Its the ferry one, the one about it not going very fast but not mattering because it was built to last. Anyone got the full words? cheers.

Class chant at today's game, nice and simple, but one of the best I've heard for one of our players for a while!

 

Good going chaps!

 

Rubbish "going" from a bunch of people who don't know the cadence of the original song, and after doing it right a couple of weeks ago got it completely wrong over and over again on Saturday.

 

Pretty difficult to explain here, but the gist of it is that there's a different beat to the first "Jose Fonte" to the second one, and the Northam Mongs were singing both lines the same, thereby starting the second line too early.

 

It absolutely annoyed the shiiit out of me, I have to say. Like having some spud who can't clap in time putting everyone around them off joining in with songs with there lack of rhythm, but 100 times worse.

 

Oh, and I've sung Woolston Ferry with others at at least 6 different away matches this season, but it's just too hard for people to hold it together in any bigger group at home games. Also, I suspect if the Northam lot got hold of it the Ferry would be going bloody fast.

I'm not a very good song writer, but just listening to the original Human League, first line could be:

 

"You were playing in defence at Selhurst Park when we signed you"

 

Anyone want to have a go at the rest?

 

I'd quite like the first line to fit the tune first. Unless you're suggesting we stick a pause in the middle of the line and drag Sel-huuuuu-uuuurst Paaaaa-ark out for that long ? It's 3 syllables, not 5 !

You're not alone with that, I noticed it too. The first line starts on the first beat of the bar, whereas the second line has a half-beat pause before it starts.

 

It annoyed me a few times and I tried to keep doing it 'properly' but then I just gave up and sang it their way, if you can't beat them....

You're right...it didn't sound right somehow

Well phrased. I was sat there at half 1 this morning trying to work out where the pauses and words running on were, then decided that as I can't read music and can't post it on here anyway I probably wouldn't be able to clarify.

 

I didn't concede to the Mong version, I just stopped joining in after the first line and did the "ohhhhhhhhh" at the end, just like I don't sing "we hate Pompey" during "Alan Pardew's Renwhidarmy" or the extra repetition of whatever bloody words the idiots add in to whatever other song they can't sing. (As you may notice, annoyed enough to notice, not annoyed enough to remember which song it is). :D.

 

Oh yeah, and he's NEARLY 6ft 3.

Wow, you are a stickler for accuracy. It must REALLY **** you off when we sing that Southampton are by far the greatest team the world has ever seen :D

 

Bizarrely I can rationalise that, not sure "all Southampton" is either what the song is about or an accurate measure of those singing it though. And the "old Southampton" people just need to bring themselves up to date.

 

And come to think of it, what are we even saying about, er, Jose Fonte's baby ? Wouldn't "Jose Fonte's missus" be better, at least the "ohhhhhhh" would be in context then ? :D

 

@Mike, yeah (though mostly stand, just behind the yo-yo seats, sat down twice on Saturday for about 30 seconds), I'm towards the front, the Mongtards are mostly at the back of 41 and 42, as we all know. Though there's a bloke just behind me who knows absolutely nothing about anything all game long every game.

Would have been a sight to see, the Floaty travelling at 'Northam' speed!

 

Funnily enough i stand in block 42 and there's a few of us that sing that most games. And despite the usual prejudice it never speeds up (though most people don't know the verses)

I haven't heard it yet down in Row S. Maybe if you could figure out when to bang the back panels it would carry better ?

Been trying for weeks to get it going. Was a happy man when we did. Then (as has been pointed out) started clapping and it doesn't work!

 

STOP THE CLAPPING!

 

Time to get Viva Lallana going!!

 

I couldn't hear the clapping, but I was very aware that the beat wasn't right.

 

And you may as well give it up with Viva Lallana, I used to have a Coldplay-based username and even I think that song barely has anything resembling a memorable hook in it, never mind anything worth repeating. I heard a bloke singing it on his own in the pub at Wembley and if it hadn't been for this Forum I wouldn't even have known what song it was.

 

I'm more of a fan of the reworked Dexy's-based Reuben Agboola song for "Adam Lallana... la-la-la-la-laaah".

I thought it was Viva Lallana, as in Viva Las Vegas, not some poxy Coldplay drivel.

You were playing up at Selhurst under Neil Warnock

That much is true

But even then you knew you'd find a much better place

When we found you

 

Now five months later on you've got the World at your feet

Success has been so easy for you

But don't forget it's US that put you where you are now

And we can put you back there too

 

Jose Fonte Baby

Jose Fonte Whooaaahhh

Jose Fonte Baby

Jose Fonte Whoooaahhhh
