Rubbish Bluemoon.

[CatMan]

The Beady Eye version if fucking horrific, id rather pour acid into my ears!!

HEY JUDE!! I always think what idiot decides its a good idea to play this before the game. Then i read this thread and realise its the same idiots who read bluemoon. Nearly every team had a Hey Jude, we did it against Leeds, and Sheff Wed a couple of season ago and due to the nature of away support it instantly get hijacked!! NEVER EVER PLAY IT.

I also cant believe people are slagging off blue moon. Some songs become Anthems and stay with the club regardless of what happens. They are part of what makes us City fans, and in a song instantly make poeple think of city, regardless of who you support (Crewe excluded). So we are definatly singing it.

I like the Ella Fitzgerald, there is something nice about a slow song, YNWA does it well, so does the Spurs version of 'Oh when the Spurs'. the supra version is good as it goes from slow to fast, i personally like the clapping and then jumping up and down bit.

the only other option is turn it off and let the big boys in ASBO corner and the SS step up to the plate!

Agree

Any attempt to drop it would be lunacy.

Like it or not, that song has become our trademark and will soon surround the ground in little steel, glass and brass circles.

The problem is most people know the first verse and that's it!

The whole Ella Fitzgerald version should be played as the team comes out with the whole ground joining in. It could if people wanted, and committed to it, be as good as Anfield on a European night.

Our problem is people think it's shit because several idiots have done numerous fucked up versions and even the club don't seem that arsed!

Of course the alternative is to have 95% of the ground sitting there like mutes or have Fat Boy Slim spin Right here Right Now for 90 minutes!

I'll take an orchestrated version of Ella's Bluemoon any day of the week.

Hey Jude as always been city fans song, never liked bluemoon even the away fans are taking the piss out of it now,waving there arms from side to side : (

The Ella Fitzgerald version should be played for the last 2-3 minutes before the team come out.

All 4 verses as such and the words, for those who don't know the unsung verses, should be put on the screens.

With the soon to launch City circle, we need to get a proper grip of this song and turn the Fitzgerald version into our anthem!

Believe me, if this was sung properly by the whole ground then, it would put Liverpool's walk alone to shame.

Believe me it is emotional and brings a tear.

Please no lyrics on the screen. It would make the ground look like a massive karaoke bar.

It's shit, try hey jude.

That's almost as bad and probably as slow.

we want slow

It's just shit.
Playing the same tune (any tune) every week to get a mass karaoke going is contrived bollox. It presumes the fans are too shit to sing or clap or shout. It shows no original thought or ideas from the club and is designed to get the mums swinging their babies aloft.
Unless the club is being very sneaky and intentionally playing the biggest dirge they could find in order to keep supporters in the bars a bit longer...
It sounds shit at the ground and even shitter on telly. I always miss kick off.

Elkie Brooks does a lovely version ( on iTunes) and she's a Manc too!

 

[Wonky Vonky]

They need to get Brainbug Nightmare back on before the kickoff, was a top tune for the build up.

I agree. I have Nightmare by Brainbug as my ring tone. Love it. Bring it back.

Totally agree. Think whatever we play before the game (and yes I prefer Blue Moon) we need to find more time to do it properly. At the moment it's a stupid race from playing meaningless music as teams come out & shake hands, reading out teamsheets and then squeezing in 30 secs of blue moon before kick off. This just makes us look so shit, if we have a club song then let's play it before the teams come out instead of the usual bag of shit that we play. That way we can actually give our song (whichever version we pick) the respect it deserves. Not being funny but imaging the dippers only playing the first 30 secs of you'll never walk alone or Zcars!

maybe just play the first part so the crowd gets going and then turn it off.

they do that at upton park for that bubbles song and it sounds fantastic.

No version beats the maverick's.

Agree mate. That's what was played at my Dad's funeral. Just brilliant.

 

[bobmcfc]

Agree but there isnt a good version of bluemoon that is the same speed as we sing it.

They should play hey jude instead imo and just leave bluemoon to the fans.

I agree with Hey Jude, much more upbeat. Bluemoon is a bit rubbish in any case.

Then we will have someone starting a thread telling us how shit that is too lol
