Other teams songs once sung at City

[Number13]

YNWA was a regular song on the Kippax in the late 70's. I remember our version having some pauses. "you'll ne......ver.....walk.......alone" with the words being sung very quickly. Anyone else remember that?

I always thought the song was more associated with Liverpool but at least we were doing our own take on it. Even then I remember "hello, hello, dirty scouse song being chanted right after we had all sung it!

As usual the media played their part in concentrating the song into a "Famous Liverpool Anthem" to the point where no other fans would even think of singing it.

Loads of fans used to sing YNWA as a victory song in the 70s. At the end of the 1976 FL Cup final City fans were singing it (have a look back at the videos). Also remember it being sung in the 5-1 against United, at a time when we didn't sing Blue Moon. Obviously then Liverpool used to win everything so I suppose it stuck as their song (it may also have originally started with them in the 60s).

Blue Moon actually was Crewe's song before we started with it.

I always remember Ark Now Hear being sung by United originally.

Did they sing it to the tune of "little miss Muffet" or "ring-a-ring a roses"

 

[M35 Blue]

Them lot sing "nick nack paddy whack give the dog a bone, why don't City F**k off home."

Heard a version from older blues about "Alison he played 3, Bell and Lee and Summerbee, with a nick nack....etc"

 

[Stretford Born Blue]

You'll Never Walk Alone was sung by a lot of different fans, us included in the 60's. Also remember our version of Blaydon Races with the last line being 'going down the Claremont Rd, to see Joe Mercer's aces'.

You will find that was "walking down the Maine Road"...!

I remember us singing “always look on the bright side of life” when we were 6 ~ 0 down at Derby. Long before I heard the rags singing it.

We took the piss out of ourselves. They used it to take the possible out of others.

"We all agree Gary Owen is magic" was copied from Evertons song about Duncan Mackenzie as i recall

Football songs today are far more original
