It's pretty poor tbh, but I suppose I haven't come up with anything better.

Koleosho
Koleosho
He drinks Moretti
Eats Spaghetti
Hates ******* rovers.

Wow no wonder there are variations, it is poor as you say.

There was an interview with him on clarets+ last week that said it’s accurate

Seen something similar
Loves spaghetti
Partial to a moretti

And now hates rovers

[burnmark]

It’s been stolen from Newcastle who sing it to their Italian midfielder who is partial to a flutter.

[what_no_pies]

Should sing his name to Loco in Acupulco by the Four Tops. I honestly see this oversight as the greatest missed opportunity of our season thus far.

[jrgbfc]

There's not many imaginative chants these days, most are just generic songs that are sung by every club with the words changed slightly.

Going Loco with Luca Koleoshoooo if you stay too longgggg

Class

[Darthlaw]

You’ll be goin loco, Luka Koleosho, when he takes you on!

[claretburns]

Who in turn stole it from Arsenal who sang it to Dani Ceballos and Arsenal probably stole it from some other club.

The vast majority of football chants are recycled.

[Kilson810]

On that theme, what is the Foster song?

[IanMcL]

On that theme, what is the Foster song?

It ought to include Lyle Foster is Amber Nectar!

Disco!

[Stalbansclaret]

How about a gentler one based on Suzanne Vega’s song Luka
My name is Luca
I run down the wing for you
I set up goals for us
And I score the odd one too

I can just hear the CFS singing this in an appropriate “sensitive balladeer” type tone

[AlargeClaret]

I’m wondering why Koleosho would be eating spaghetti and drinking Moretti ? He’s American through and through though I know his mum is part Italian hence why he’s played in their youth teams . Often wonder why he’s not in the USA set up , missed a chance their the yanks imo

[Hibsclaret]

Perhaps we should change it to ‘eats a hot dog drinks a draft bud, hates b Roverrs’

[TheFamilyCat]

Maybe sing something to the tune of La Bamba. Sounds bloody stupid as it is.

[Conroy92]

Cotton eye Joe.

if it wasnt for luka koleosho, we'd have been relegated a long time ago,
Where did you come from where did you go, where did you come from koleosho.

And then the longside to erupt with line dancing .

I cant get that out of my head now, been singing it to myself all morning

Love it

Although Going Loco is also a missed opportunity

While we are on the subject of songs what's the one about 'we won the league at Ewood?' My advancing years & distance from the CFS mean I can only make out that bit - and something about 1987?

[Burnley1989]

Something along the lines of

staying down for ever, is what those bastards said,
in 1987 they said our club was dead,
we won the league at Ewood,
now everywhere we go,
we'll sing this song forever,
to let those bastards know,
ole ole ole ole

Something like that anyway

It's so dreary
But the only song sung at a slow speed

I don't get some posters' fascination for slow speed. As an elderly rocker I like my tunes fast, minimum 7/8 time but 16/16 time is even better

Only song that isn't sung at 100mph, but it's yet another one that's just ripped off from other clubs.

[Cirrus_Minor]

The 'no one likes us' song makes me cringe. Ending with... 'we are Burnley, super Burnley from the North'. North!?? Not very specific is it.

[BigGaz]

That Cotton eye joe one is a belter

For me it’d fit the tune better if you did away with Luca and elongated Koleosho, then changed relegated with down. Got me singing it along to it on Spotify to make it fit like a lemon

if it wasnt for kol-e-osho, we'd have been down a long time ago,

[gsyclaret]

Was thinking about this one, how about ladt ga ga's song alejandro, obviously using koleosho instead

I'm just bumping this again because it's amazing

[what_no_pies]

With two very good suggestions hopefully we've heard the last of the dreadful Moretti / Spaghetti one.

I’ve long thought ‘from the Turf’ would be better. And I mean 25 years, so I can’t see it changing.

[Darnhill Claret]

It's a Northerners versus Southerners thing. Exact geography not required. We are Northern Monkeys.

It’s funny is t it but I love that one.

Also love the cotton eyed Joe one though, great suggestion

I love that one though.

Think we’ve got a good mix of different songs/chants that are unique to Burnley and ripped off common ones. NNN, in our Lancashire home, etc, etc.

Was even better last year when we also had Nathan Tella Baby and the Anass son was sung more often.

[Darthlaw]

Appreciate I've got skin in the game but the syllables alone scare me in the Cotton Eye Joe chant, as awesome as it is.

First line needs a simpler re-work.

Like BigGaz says, drop the “Luca” and it scans better

First part works, its the second that doesn't. Trying to fit 12 syllables into the original 9 is where it falls down. That's before the speed chanters massacre it.

If it hadnt been for Cotton-Eyed-Joe, I'd be married a long time ago
1--1---2-----1-----1---------3--------II-------1--1---2-------1---1----1----2

if it wasnt for koleosho, we'd have been relegated a long time ago,
1--1---2-----1------4----II----1-----1------1--------4------1---1-----1----2

How about

'If it hadn't been for Koleosho, we'd be beaten a long time ago.'

Where did you come from where did you go
Running with the ball Koleosho

Just need a few with the stones to start it

5 pints+ I think to attempt that

Possibly the best ever post on this forum.
