Boys in Blue (Song)

[IanBishopsHaircut]

Think you might be. Out of interest why do you think it's cringeworthy

It was of its time...reminds me of old crappy songs like Tottenham's Chaz & Dave effort...the lyrics are horrible...and the tune itself is garbage

 

[Dunne's own goal]

Love the song! Should deffo be played at every home game just like Blue moon

 

[hihosilva]

It bought it when i was a kid but i must admit when i hear it now it makes me cringe a little. Not for me.

 

[ped]

try telling the guys in the freindship in fallowfield its cringeworthy its timeless only wish more people would learn all the verses

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

I dream of the day when we've just lifted the European Cup and the team are parading it in front of the massed bank of 25,000 delirious City fans when over the stadium PA system Boys In Blue is played. Guess I'll be in tears. :)

Sacrilege.

 

[urban genie]

Great song that is underused, prefer to hear this than bluemoon tbf, I know it plays every game prior and after, but needs to be celebrated more as a classic

 

[Rorz88]

Do you think that we can get this reinstated and played after matches

 

[oakiecokie]

Its shite.Thats the bottom line.Sounds like a fucking 10 year old wrote it.As you can tell I`m not its biggest fan.In fact I hate it with a vengeance.

 

[Phil1]

Loud and proud at the end of the game it should be played. We need to get something going for the last song before kick off, something that might actually continue through to when the ref blows the whistle.
We've stopped Hey Jude as well ive noticed which I thought was ok to KO second half.

 

[Deepest Blue]

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

Why "Even"?

 

[MadchesterCity]

Love this song as well and it's often played at the end of the match

 

[Blue Hefner]

I love The Boys in Blue, but it doesn't really work as a terrace chant. Should always be played at full time though.

My thoughts exactly

does it not have enough swear words in it for you? :(

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.Honestly its just one of those songs that makes me cringe.Bit like that woeful Birdie Song.

Oakie, just get off the fence for once in your life... tell us what you really think!

 

[Nixon_The_Bike_Thief]

Love it, sing it before every game from beginning to end, dont care if it cuts off I still see it through. Id love it if more got onto it pre match and turned it back into the anthem it should be, a few around me in 115 tend to join in at the chorus but never enough to really get it going. Ah well for now I'll remain the lone voice, its almost a superstition with me now. My other superstition is to always shout "Come on City" at the top of my lungs the first glimpse I get of the team emerging from the tunnel so they cant ever play boys in blue while they are coming out as the confusion would likely make my head explode .

Did I ever tell you I don`t like it. ;)

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I fucking love this song!! When I was a very young kid in the early 80s, it'd be played as we got through the Kippax turnstiles. It'd make the hair stand up on my neck..it just stunk of City and I fucking loved it!! And still do. Composed by Godley n Creme from 10cc at Strawberry studios in Stockport if I'm not mistaken. Corny maybe, but nostalgic and ours YES!!!

I know, it's bit Odd isn't it. ;-)
