Boys in Blue (Song)

[ninjamonkey]

Doesn't work as a song to sing during the game, save it for pre/post match and title celebrations. It's actually played fairly often after games, it's clear who the early leavers are...

I don't mind it but the lyric "Even if we're playing down at Maine Road" rankles.

Why "Even"?

Even if we're playing down at Maine Road,
Or if we play a million miles away,
There'll always be our loyal fans behind us
To cheer us on our way.

Puts it into context, doesn't it?

Whats not to love

 

[Muffin or barm?]

It got an airing in one of the games this year for quite a while during the game but can't remember which one. It kept going on and on though, which was good.

 

[grandsolo]

We play it after most matches at the Mad Hatter

 

[BlumerMooner]

With Funky City on the B-side? Tune!

Funky city.... Love you city....
Now thats one funky song!!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Apparently some disturbing news came out about the lead singer of the band that performed the version of bluemoon we'd become used to. One of his victims, who's a regular match goer, complained and threatened legal action if they didn't stop playing that version.

No idea about the incident you refer to, but the only way someone could threaten legal action unless they stopped playing it, is if the person threatening legal action was not receiving performing rights to the song from the person / organisation playing it or other financial issues / ownership of the song.

 

[Scully]

Class record by England's finest, see snippet at 1:25.....

 

[Deepest Blue]

Even if we're playing down at Maine Road,
Or if we play a million miles away,
There'll always be our loyal fans behind us
To cheer us on our way.

Puts it into context, doesn't it?

Still think that "even" is superfluous and is there only to balance the verse but if you disagree then fine.

Love it and so do my kids

It's our song
