Wanderers Song

I recently heard a wanderers song named "When I just just a snotty Kid"

 

Sang to the tune of The Wanderer by Del Shannon

 

Goes something along the lines of;

 

"When I was just a snotty kid my father said to me, I'll take you to the football now what's it gonna be?

Will it be Man united city everton liverpool?

I said f*ck of father don't be a silly fool cos I'm a wanderer! yeah i'm a wanderer, we're going up and up and up and up etc etc.....

 

Anyone know the rest? :pardon:

Dion and the Belmonts.

please don't try and get this song going at the reebok...

 

it will be totally pointless....

 

songs of three syllables please...

 

all sung to the tune of "we are the one and only wanderers"

Christ we need some new songs! Other clubs have got an entire websites devoted to their songs, they're even categorised there's so many of them! How comes we can't think of any between us?

We do, because the good ones we have at the moment (Born to be a Wanderer, Chickens in our back yard etc...) sound embarassing when people bellow them out until a certain point and then stop because they don't know the rest of the words. You hear it alot when we sing born to be a wanderer, everyone seems fine until 'victorious and glorious'...after than its little sections keeping it going, not that many seem to know the ending!

Far be it for me to stick up for Utd supporters but they do have this lot as well!

I like the one about City, sung to the tune of The Inspiral Carpets, 'This Is How It Feels To Be Lonely':

 

'SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE CITY,

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL,

THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR TEAM WINS NOTHING AT ALL.'

I liked the song that City fans used to sing when they were relegated to the old Third Division, sung to the tune of 'We Shall Not Be Moved':

 

'WE ARE NOT,

WE'RE NOT REALLY HERE,

WE ARE NOT,

WE'RE NOT REALLY HERE,

JUST LIKE A FAN OF THE INVISIBLE MAN,

WE'RE NOT REALLY HERE!'

 

Surely we can come up with something as simple as that?

i actually like the passion that these big clubs ala United and Newcastle show.

 

They come and sing and stand for 90 minutes and get behind their team and sing their fookin hearts out.

 

we really need to get some older tunes back like

 

The wanderers are comin up the hill

 

one of my favourites from yester year was ee ii ee ii ee ii o up the football etc etc

 

If we sing these songs on a regular basis people will start catching on.

 

I particulary think the Willie Morgan song will be great for the new winger.

my favourite was always

 

"we are going up, say we are going up"

 

doubt I'll get that one going again

I agree. People say it's down to all-seater stadiums but Utd, City, Newcastle, Pompey, etc, play in all-seater stadiums as well and it doesn't stop them singing! Obviously it helps if you've got more than one flaming song to sing for 90 minutes!

my favourite was always

 

"we are going up, say we are going up"

'Que Sera Sera

Whatever will be will be

We're goin to th'endsleigh league'

 

somehow singing this helped numb the pain of relegation a bit on a bit mind!

Its got nothing to do with the singing but I just wanted to post this photo of Willie.

Which poster used to where a badge that stated "I'm with you Willie, I hate Docherty"

Apparently City fans were singing, 'WHAT THE F**K IS GOING ON', as their team sprayed the passes around at West Ham on Saturday!

eyes right!!!

 

we do have an arsenal of songs at our disposal, we just never seem to use them... the appear to have died out in the last ten years, not because of the stadium, probably because of our attendences soaring so much. its hard to get 26,000 singing if 10,000 fans (and three drummers) dont know the words/rhythm

Utd have a fan who's sole job is to compose new songs. He then burns the tunes onto CD's and distributes them to the various fan clubs so that their members can learn the words. Sounds a bit formal but it's kind of how the various Ultra groups operate abroad.

Surely we can break out, 'YOU'LL NE-VER GET A PASSPORT!', when Al Fayed walks across the pitch at Craven Cottage tomorrow night?!

I will give it a go!

 

Altogether now..... :good:

Satay still do sing that song. It stemmed from their ex chairman saving money back in the old days of cash turnstiles and declaring the crowd to be 10k (for example) under what it really was.

 

The atmosphere at Maine Road was superb, but Eastlands is a morgue.

I will give it a go!

 

Altogether now..... :good:

 

...and if there's any fat b*stards amongst the Fulham support, i want to hear a rousing chorus of, 'HAVE YOU EVER SEEN YOUR COCK?'

do they offer free singing lessons too?

 

how about a fancy costume to wear?

 

does the choir manager get a salary?

 

 

 

ffs!

what was with newcastle fans singing a song about themselves "Toon Toon Toon Toon Toon"

 

then congratulating themselves for singing it? won't knock it, they seemed to enjoy it, just didn't get it

We're not really in any position to take the piss are we?
