I really miss the Viking Film chant...
Not the fact that we we don't sing it - we do - but it's just not what it was.
We used to sing it slightly slower than we do now for 10-20 mins at a stretch. In fact I remember one away game in the 70's - I think it was a Villa game. where we sang it for the whole second half. We used to start it by bashing any corrugated iron or wood that came to hand with a continuous slow beat, and bringing it in with (and mixing it up with) "Da Daaaa-Dah" verses.
"Da Daaaa-Dah, Da Daaaa-Dah, Da-Dah Da-Dah Da-Dah Da-Dah Da Dahhhhhh!
"City, Man City, The best team in the land in all the the world."
It brought a shiver to the spine. And I really miss it.
I suppose you could call it an "Ultra" type chant in this day and age.
