Song for Dwight McNeil

About time we had a bit of variety in our songs from the terraces.

To the tune of Park life by blur

Dwight McNeil oh Dwight McNeil
Running down the wing
He makes the Longside sing
McNeil

I'm either forgetting the lyrics to the song or this doesn't fit in with the chorus at all.

It definitely fits the chorus

Much like the OP I'm lost for words.

I've read it again and can now confirm I've made it match up to the chorus. Good going.

. thinks the ‘running down the wing’ line needs an extra word somewhere to make it fit the song?

Dwiiiiiiight McNeiiiil,
Ooow Dwiiiiight McNeiiiiil,
When he’s,Runnnnnning down the wing,
He makes the longside sing....

Dum dum dum dum

Repeat until half time, for those who can’t fit the tune quite.

Hows about I recommend a scheme where by you just leave him alone to get on with his game.

How about,

Oh what a feeliiing,
When we've got Dwight McNeil in.

Dancing on the ceiling.

"All Dwight now, baby it's-a all Dwight now" to Free's All right now. You could maybe even break into the unmistakable guitar riff after a couple of renditions of the chorus, "Daaaa, da da daaa! etc"

"It's all Dwight, it's all Dwight, it's all Dwight, it's really all Dwight" to East 17, It's alright. Or use the other bit, "All Dwight! All Dwight! Everything's gonna be all Dwight"

This was posted on Facey earlier this week which I thought was good. When Johnny comes marching home...

He should have his own song. Something a little different than we’ve used this century for other players or managers.

How about the end of E, Johns "Saturday Nights all right for fighting"....

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday Dwiight's alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday Dwiight's alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday Dwight's alright,

Would be good tomorrow if we win as its an Elton Hercules John song, plus its even more apt as EJ's real surname is Dwight

Now I’ve had a listen to the song again it makes sense, providing there’s another word with 2 syllables in it there. Decent that.

Just listen to the current popular chants from other clubs and copy that fitting his name in!

thelaughingclaret · Post by **thelaughingclaret** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 6:33 pm

The last couple of games some morons have been singing ‘he’s one of your own’ when he certainly is not one of our own. He’s about as one of our own as any other Burnley player in the side. It was embarrassing. Anything is better then people singing that.

Nessun Dorma

Dwight McNeil Dwight Mc Neil
Tu pure, oh Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
Il silenzio che ti fa mia
(ll nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)
Dilegua, oh notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
Vincerà!
Vincerò!

Bit less coke and the Cricketfield will pick it up in no time.

Couple of good games and we're giving him his own song. What a joke, the lad needs to earn it first so come back next season when he's helped us stay up

ArmchairDetective · Post by **ArmchairDetective** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:22 am

I like it.

Simple enough but more creative than the usual crap. Based on a decent song for once as well.

Thumbs up.

I agree it's much too early. I would say we need to wait 2 seasons at least. Isn't there some sort of procedure to follow, the leader of the singing section has to approve an application for a new song proposed and seconded? It's based on assessment of recent games ( min. qualification 30 games or something). I think Cricketfield claret will be able to furnish us with the details.

We could always do what loads of fans seem to do now, rob a song from a club in Europe and change the words.

Something like this: https://youtu.be/63ar03dMkI8" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Oh, Dwight McNeil
Watch him running, off down the wing
Turns you inside out and then he puts you on your ass
Lets go with his left foot now you know that lad is class

Or leave out the rhyming and have the same but:

Turns you inside out and then he puts you on your arse
Lets go with his left foot and he sends the Clarets mad

Does anyone know Achilles Heel by Toploader?

Surely someone can make something of that!?
