New version of Blue Moon?

[Mike Mannion]

Sounds like another fuck up by marketing people paid too much, with too much time on their hands!

Couldn't agree more. It's an abomination and reflects the disconnect we've been banging on about for too long. They're completely out of touch now. I'm not sure if they even read the forums anymore. I know Cook's team used to.

They've gentrified the match day experience and stifled the atmosphere we were famous for. Such a shame, because we're embarking on the most successful period in our history.

I'm not the biggest fan of it, but it's better then the supra version.

Hey i was part of the fans who took part in this recording myself and several other fans and mike joyce all agreed that the supra version wasnt good enough to get the fans going as it gets alll rocky the new version has been designed to lift the crowd and get everyone signing along like a terrace version

I've not heard it but it's shit

You've got to be kidding there surely?

I think I heard this being played too and hated it immediately, it had unsettling vibes of *puke* "Glory Glory ManUrenited" not at all fitting with our great club. I think the supra version(which is actually decent and has an oasis era vibe and totally manchester) shits on it from a great height.

Best version was Ian McCulloch's on the Jimmy Grimble Soundtrack

It is also my favorite version.

 

[Oyster28catcher]

I liked the version by Doves a while back but it wasn't that sing-a-long... McCulloch's version is class

 

[Dunne's own goal]

Is this new version somewhere online?

 

[Dunne's own goal]

This is my fave version, love it.

 

[wolfie1988]

What a crock of shit this version is. The club are arseholes for playing this atmosphere killer at the final whistle last night

 

[Neville Kneville]

Can't we just have Bing Crosby or some **** singing it ?

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Don't think it is that bad to be honest.

 

[Phil1]

Sounds like one of those songs clubs used to do when they got to the FA Cup final.

We don't need manufactured crap to get us singing along terrace version style. Give us a break from this embarrassing artificial bollox.

 

[west didsblue]

It's appalling. Can't we have "Boys in Blue" back after the match?

They should not be belting out ridiculously loud music so much at all at matches. It generally kills an atmosphere when it is done before and after matches IMO. Absolutely kills trophy presentations/celebrations for me, totally drowns out the crowd, whether it be this version, the Supra version, Rocking All Over the Fucking World or anything else. Just leave the crowd to it, and on big occasions they will make noise. That said, I certainly don't think this version of Blue Moon is any worse than the Supra version if they are going to insist on playing songs.

I presume this is that stupid cheesy thing they played at full time to kill the atmosphere that was already there? Which imbecile cannot get it into their thick heads that singing along to a cheesy disco on a blaring PA is for ice hockey, not football? The only song they just about get away with is Hey Jude, but even then it doesn't compare to a spontaneous football song.

It's just karaoke. That Europe Lg karaoke at Dortmund last week was so cringeworthy I felt sorry for both sets of fans but then I realised they are probably both sad enough to love that kind of shit.

 

[Claytop]

Heard it for the first time last night, its bad.

I can just about take the version that speeds up just after the start for before games but why not just the play the original straight after the game?

Would have been perfect as everyone was in the mood.

Then Hey Jude afterwards
