What's happened to BLUE MOON before games ?

Obviously it's an age thing then. Blue Moon has been associated with City all my life which is why the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I hear it, I'm not saying it's a work of musical genius or anything but that's not why any of us like it, we like it because it instantly makes us think of MCFC every time we hear it, how can that possibly be a bad thing?

Not a bad thing, but it dies out very quickly, and lacks any passion, with the exception of everyone screaming "Bluemoon" when it comes around. If you listen to the words, they're not very inspirational, either!

Need something that gees people up, gets them clapping and chanting together. Believe it or not, a cold wet night on the Kippax and YNWA worked wonders, as did Hey Jude! But, you're right, I AM an old bastard! ;-)

I don’t miss it.

I can’t stand songs/chants being artificially made into atmosphere by being played over the tannoy.

It’s fake atmosphere.

I don’t even like Blue Moon as a song neither. It’s alright when we’re playing well and 3-0 up when everyone puts a bit of gusto behind it but it’s a very dreary chant with shit words at any other time.

You could try making up new songs.
 
as much i love the times we've sang hey jude after matches, such as that united game a few years ago, its just not our anthem and id rather it was only played after a match not when the players walk out. i think we should start playing the boys in blue again when the players walk out - a song that represents us and shows our tradition. i also liked it when we've played dont look back in anger after the game, like today. just play those before and after the game. hey jude the past couple of games/seasons doesnt work well in my opinion.
 
What happened to any decent tune to walk out to the tunnel to?! Sick of hearing a few shit lines of Hey Jude rushed before KO. Miss hearing Brainbug

i agree. hey jude for a few lines is shit. its just not our anthem either. half time i didnt hear any music either, just adverts and them talking about the match ( you couldn't even hear it anyway where i was). brign back the boys in blue !
 
If they didn't read out the away time line-up for the second time in 10 minutes they would have time to play something to help the build up
 
Didn't they play a bit of the 'Jaws' theme tune as the teams came out after half time, or was I imagining it?
 
Should have a song by a Manchester band. Oasis' "don't look back in anger" is a great sing along tune, but the lyrics are not really there (pun intended).
I'd love to adopt a song by the truly great Manchester band - The Hollies. "He Ain't Heavy" could be our YNWA. The very first line "The road is long, with many a winding turn..." could not be more appropriate and the chorus is easily changed to "They ain't heavy, they're my City'. Noel should throw a version out as a 'B-side'.
"All I need I the air that I breathe to love you" isn't too shabby either and pretty spot on as to how most of us feel about our Blues ;-)
 
'Don't look back in anger' after a wonderful home win? What the hell is that about?
 
always thought one of the bluemoon lyricist's could do something with 'mr blue sky' by ELO.
