"Those were the days my friend" song

[Vic]

The original song was a hit for Mary Hopkins back in either '68 or '69. Something like that. It was produced by Paul McCartney.

That would be Mary Hopkin, look you. No s. 1968.

might be time time for the oldies to teach the young'uns some of the old favourites before they're forgotten forever ;)

Absolutely! the atmosphere and song back catalogue that City regularly sing is gash/wank/shite/none existent!! why these songs aren't all known by all fans and sang on a regular basis is beyond me! even away from home now we only ever sing the 'big 5': "Blue Moon" "Invisible Man/We're Not Really Here" "My Father Said/Ark Now Here" "We Love You City" and "The Best Team In The Land And All The World" and that's almost it - regularly! there are the odd times when we throw in some different or new ones!

but the old ones need to be known! Why have they vanished! (horrible to say this but United fans know all their old songs - shit as they are!!)

Come on oldies, remind us of the oldies........

"we'll see you all outside, we'll see you all outside, we'll see you all, we'll see you all outside..."

Heard this one too. A few of the older boys singing along, no one else knew it.

Be good to hear the South Stand get this one going.

"Your gonna get your fcukin head kicked in"!
Used to love that one when I was about 6!

"You'll never reach the station, you'll never reach the station..."

"Pardoe, Pardoe,it's off to Mexico, with Bell and Lee and Summerbee, Pardoe, Pardoe..."

"I'm dreaming of a Blue Wembley, just like the ones I used to know, with the blue flags flying and scousers crying, to see City win the cup... win the cup!"

I'll think of more...
