Bored, and need to drag Wire back to the present day…. hows about - (To ‘Mumford & Sons’ Little Lion Man)

Weep Little Saints fan, you’re slow singings come to nought;
Weep Little Saints fan, your just not as good as you thought;
It was all your fault, not mine;
It was Wire who crossed the line;
You really 'messed' (*) it up this time;
You gotta buy the beer….. because It’s gonna be our year!


* - we know what word will get sung here, but mods wont allow it!

(never even took me coat off, let alone go and get it)

he wears a skull cap! a skull cap a skull cap
he is number 20, 20, 20
we signed him from leigh leigh leigh
he is chrissy hill hill hill
ohwoah ohwoah ohwoahhhhhhhhhhhh...you know the rest

du, du, du du du, du du du du, Chris Hill...

That's the best I've got...

I'm sure there was a Fletcher Enders song to this tune, but can't remember the words.

Worst I've ever seen on here, someone posted a version of 'Campione' but with the lyric:

'They say our days are numbered we're not famous any more,
but Cheshire rules the country like it's always done before'.

Brilliant thread this!

Do you have one to the tune of 'just can't get enough'?

I go the match with the lad who wrote "Campione" after the You Tube video from PAOK that spawned it was first posted on RAOTL. He now stands silently in embarrassment every time it gets sung.

True story that.

Songwriting competitions on the internet can go wrong.

Cheshire does rule the country mind. No denying that!

There's one thing for sure, i wont sing anything that encourages hate towards another team, or calling their town a sh8thole, anything banterish, any mickey take yes, but out and out hatred has no place in Rugby league, if they want to do it, let them.
I saw a dad joyfully singing along with his 10 year old son, words of hatred and similar and waving two fingers to the Widnes lot, pretty distasteful to witness.
Id go for Sunday's game.

Jamie Foster went on the Hull FC roster to get out of the Sintellins rain.
He said to Paul Wellins I cant stand St Helins
They're going to lose the Grand Final again !
Bum bum !

Gets to you that chant I take It.

is that a question for me ? if so, which chant you assume gets to me are you talking about ?.

no need to be so nasty i did say I'm no lyrical genious, and it does fit! in my head...

I think there can be doubt about 'bragging rights' for the composers of various chants.

For the record, there are two United versions of "Bertie Mee". The one currently 'sung' which is distasteful as it has Sir Matt swearing and the original early 70's version (predating your Kop claim) which referred to Bertie Mee said to Don Revie

Not a big fan of the song, although would like to hear the 'Cheshire rules the country' version at the HJ just for the comedy value.

Here's my effort for the worst song competition, to the tune of Oasis' 'Lyla'...

Hey Myler, about to play the ball
So what do you say, Myler
The players around you make you look so small, Myler
If you hear Briers call don't turn away, Myler
Look out Richie's bout to ground the ball

RAOTL went into overdrive with that PAOK tune in early 2007 and various versions were written before the one that became Campione was settled on.

It's universally regarded as rubbish on the same forum now.

In all honesty I can't think of a single song I read on the internet initially and still think is good, and there's been a few.
