The Best Blue Moon?

[I'm With Stupid]

Which is it?

 

[Metal Biker]

I prefer the Sinatra one, meself.

But not for football reasons... (IYKYK)

 

[BimboBob]

Obviously Billie Holiday is the best version.

 

[jimharri]

So, so far ahead of that godawful Supra version.

 

[BimboBob]

So, so far ahead of that godawful Supra version.

That's fucking dire.

 

[Metal Biker]

So, so far ahead of that godawful Supra version.

I believe, with every drop, of rain that falls, a flower grows...

Oops, sorry, wrong song.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Shit, I thought City fans invented the song.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Forgot this one existed...

 

[BimboBob]

Forgot this one existed...

Jesus. That's embarrassing.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Billie easy

 

[.db.]

I like Frank Sinatra and also The Mavericks versions.

I love these two though, something a bit different:

Kruder & Dorfmeister ‘High Noon’
I think sampling Elvis Presley’s version.




Cowboy Junkies ‘Blue Moon Revisited (a song for Elvis)’
Lovely vocals from Margo Timmins.

 

[jimharri]

That's fucking dire.

It's brilliant. If you're talking dire, listen to the Supra version.

 

[urban genie]

The Marcels


there is nowt better

 

[ctidcarl]

Maybe not the best, but worth an honourable mention

 

[SamTheGuru]

Not going to lie, and you are free to call me a heretic for it but I cannot stand the song and think we have one of the worst club songs going ever. But, it is ingrained so.....the Elvis version is pretty good to put on after everything has gone horribly wrong again:

 

[pudge]

Definitely not the one played before kick-off

 

[Bill Walker]

Definitely not the one played before kick-off

They should play the you tube video of the fans singing it instead, that's the only version that's worth listening to, it has some passion....fucking dour dirge .....like God save The King..

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Ian McUlloch - as featured in the Jimmy Grimble film

 

[jimharri]

How did we come to adopt the song as our "anthem"? I was a regular at Maine Road in the late seventies (season ticket holder in the North Stand), and I honestly don't ever remember hearing it. What's the connection (apart from the "blue")?

A drunk started singing it on the kippax one xmas fixture when Kendall was the manager, proper slurring his words, much to the amusement of everyone else. Then after a while everyone joined in and that was that.
