What is that chant I keep hearing?

Post by lucs86 » Sat Sep 01, 2018 7:00 pm

Heard it a few times but can't make out a word. Was being sung back of Cricketfield, 2nd half Thursday. Song is Tom Hark.

On a piece of string
And all I did
Was tw@t him and b_m him......

I preferred the original version of

“And all I did was kick his fu(king head in
Kick his head in - kick his head in
All I did was kick his fu(king head in”

But this version seems to have taken off more haha

Or every bloody goal we scored up until a while back for the tune

There are now social minority groups that go around under the auspices of other people, highly trained professionals with political mandates carefully selecting targets.

Albanian drug gangs or Hari Krishnas? etc etc.

I love how people complain about fans not joining in with chants. Then every new chant includes several swear words that a lot of people, especially those with family at the ground are uncomfortable with. If we had a song like Stokes Delila, we'd change it to shagging her or something. I’m sure these people think it makes them sound hard. Can someone not come up with something in celebration/support of Burnley, rather than concentrating on those down the road?

Bizarre song. They can all laugh about it drinking their coffee in the factory floor canteen every brew time, whilst sharing violent porn videos with each other grunting their very prominent brows off and pretending to read the daily sport to seem intellectual to their peers.

You know the types. The braindead dregs, every town has them in abundance ours sadly is up there.

Understand your point but think Stoke have done that pretty well already. Never heard Tom Jones sing ‘I put my d**k in her hand and she laughed no more’...!

The speed singers hit new heights on Thursday. Not content with 'we are the Longside Burnley' at warp factor 9 they were actually singing the line before the previous one had finished. Most songs with the exception of NNN are almost indecipherable and accompanied with manic speed clapping.

Compare the JM C&B army epic from Derby those years ago with the current SD version.

I’ve never heard the chant, and don’t sit in the Bob Lord Stand, but I doubt very much I’d like a chant about bumming Blackburn fans. Very odd. Perhaps people who sit in the Bob Lord Stand just have better taste.

Imagine swearing at a football game. There'll be people drinking alcohol before you know it.

No issue with the swearing. Thats part and parcel. and always explain to the lads while its not necessarily acceptable to swear in normal scenarios footballs the exception. And they wont be punished for repeating (at the match).

If the CFS purport to be the voice from the stands, they should consider the speed of delivery, so other stands can pick up and join in.

They should also consider the quality of their offering.

Finally, the songs should primarily concentrate of the positive aspects of Burnley.

What I don't understand is that you hear some away fans come to the Turf and sing long, complicated songs all as one voice, but our lot speed everything up so much that the chants barely last 30 seconds before they're too fast to be decipherable and just die out.

Not sure what people bang on in the Cricketfield but it was similar in the JHU before the singers moved, they banged on the boards at the back of stand way too fast killing the rhythm.

With the exception of the ‘Lancashire Home’ song, every song with a clap rarely lasts long enough to reach the other stands.

Coupled with the sound from the Burnley part of the Cricketfield not travelling to the JHU/JHL well, getting something going is difficult.

I remember last year when we played Spurs at home they started their "We've got Alli, Dele Alli" chant. Not to be outdone, the Burnley fans in the Cricketfield stand launched into our Steven Defour equivalent, and managed to complete the whole song before the Spurs fans had got to the end of the first verse. Why our fans have to do everything with a drum and bass tempo I've no idea but I just find it funny now.

I’ve given up trying to sing certain songs as well as a few people I go to matches with - it’s just a futile exercise now.
