It appears that Everton have a catchy chant for Dwight McNeil after just one friendly. Unless i missed something we didnt manage that over 3 years and McNeil ought to be more valued at BFC than somewhere like Everton.

Ben Mee never really had a song stick despite being arguably the most influential player over the decade where we've had the sort of success most of us thought we could only dream about. Even Barton and the reat if the lads tried to help us out with a good suggestion and it did nothing.

We have an influx of new players and we really need to get behind them and show them all our support.

Let's get the creative juices flowing and come up with some songs...

I think its unfair to compare us with the fans of a club like Everton who are one of the biggest clubs in the history of English football and have one of the biggest and best fanbase around

How can you forget the Ben Mee chant?

Ben Mee, Ben Mee, Ben Mee Ben Mee Ben Mee, Ben Mee Ben Mee, Ben Mee Ben Mee, Ben Mee, Ben Mee Ben Mee Ben Mee.

Some of the fans forgot the words to that one too.

The second verse was catchy though.

What's this catchy song they have for McNeil, then?

As for why ours don't seem to stick, see the negatives from Friday night thread.

Wondered how long…

So we have the Vitinho one, and the Twine one - any more?

Earth Wind and Fire - September:

Woaah
Super Joshy Cullen
Woaah
Midfield strings a’pullin
Woaah
Never gives the ball away


Pilot - Magic

Woah Woah Woah it’s Maatsen
You know
You’ll never get past him at all


Adam’s Family

It’s Jacob Harwood-Bellis
We know you’re very jealous
He’s going to propel us
Back to the Premier League

Taylor harwood bellis not Jacob

Best one I e heard for Cullen is….

Follow follow follow
Josh Cullen the Burnley Pirlo
With his left and his right he makes the bastards look shite
Josh Cullen the Burnley Pirlo.

You make me feel
Dwiiiight McNeil

It’s the Jimmy Somerville song from the late 80’s.

(1st draft, ok. Cue abuse lol)

Kompany's side
Vitinho and Twine
Ashley Barnes shithousing all the time
With Brownhill always running
Muric in the nets
Were going up, so all place your bets

I have said for a long while now that our fan base is amongst the worst in the country for chants. We have no ‘anthem’, and every single player that comes in, no matter how good he is, if he doesn’t fit the generic chants that have been rolled out down the years (eg stevie stevie Davis and Andy Andy Payton) or if it doesn’t fit a chant other clubs have made up (see Vitinho and Defour songs) then forget about it.

I will take a while to get to know their names where they play and what they look like. So what about 'Who are you?' from the Who.

Jolene - Dolly Parton

Scott Twine, Scott Twine, Scott Twine, Scott Twiiiiiiine,
I’m begging you to please take this free-kick.
Scott Twine, Scott Twine, Scott Twine, Scott Twiiiiiiine,
He’s going to make your keeper look like ****.

Thank you for the Music - Abba

(Saw this suggested on the forum but think the lyrics can be improved.)

Thank you Ani Muric,
is the song I’m singing.
Thanks for all the joy you’re bringing.

Who could live without him?
I ask in all honesty,
where would we be,
without our number one (49) in our team?

So I say, thank you Ani Muric,
For joining Burn-er-ley.

Gina G - Ooh ah just a little bit

Ooh ah, Ian Maatsen
Ooh ah, a little bit more
Ooh ah, Ian Mattesen
Our Full back's gonna score more goals

Everton fans are probably the quietest in the EPL. They woke up for the first time in years at the end of last season but the idea we should take lessons from them is laughable.

Everton fans are different in they sing quite a lot in pubs but not in stadiums, unless winning.

I fully intend to start a ‘negatives from Saturday’ after we win and the song selection & speed of singing will be top of the list followed by Cricket field coke heads, public address system being quiet, no hot water in the toilet, price of a twix, the difficulty in finding the correct turnstile, season cards not working, people standing up and also the clarets legends boards.

that is very clever

Ed Sheeran - Shape of You

I’m in love with this style of play
We pass and move like ballers

Since Vinny Kompany came to stay
Cullen ain’t put a foot wrong

And it’s hard to believe my eyes
Watching Maatsen and Scott Twine

Burn-er-ley discovering tactics brand new
I’m in love with style oh

Come on Burnley come on come on
I’m in love with you Burnley

Come on Burnley come on come on
I’m in love with you Burnley

Green green grass
Blue blue sky
We don't know all the new names
And we're always on Sky.

Almost to Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s off to work we go.

Ian Maatsen, he ran, he ran, he ran
He ran, he ran, he ran, he ran,
He shot, he scored
Repeat ad infinitum.

To cricket fielders, that means repeat indefinitely. You don’t sing Repeat ad infinitum

We've got a gaffer,
A Belgian gaffer,
Called Vincent Kom-pany
He's our gaffer,
Our Belgian gaffer,
We're Vincent's Burnerly
Aweeeeeeeeeaaa we win home n away
Aweeeeeeeeeaaa you've come to watch us play

To the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight

This was the original Muric effort.

So I say
Thank you for the Muric, the boys are singing
Thanks for all the shots he’s saving
Who can live without him, I ask in all honesty
What would the score be?
Without a catch or Egan Riley?
So I say thank you for the Muric
And Vincent Kompany.

Maybe change to this.

So I say
Thank you for the Muric, the boys are singing
Thanks for all the shots he’s saving
Who can live without him, I ask in all honesty
What would the score be?
Passing it out, he’s taller than me.
So I say thank you for the Muric
And Vincent Kompany.

With the legend Kompany


Nice and simple for the kids and no sweary words

One Foot in the Grave theme tune, might even get the Bob Lord singing

Maybe one for the under 40s to the tune of Blink 182 all the small things

All the small things
That Kompany brings
I'll take Muric
And Harwood-Bellis
Cullen, Maatsen
and Samuel Bastien
Dara Costello
and Vi-tinho
Say it aint so
I will not go
Kompany's here
To carry us home

na-na na-na na-na na-na na na

Surely it’s got to be…….


Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching yoooouuuuuu,
Sweet Scotty Twine (Bur-ner-ley)
Football’s never seemed so good (so good, so good, so good)

Can anyone add a second bit to finish it off?

There was something at the Turf that night
The lights were bright
Vitinho
You were signed by Vincent Kompany
For Burnley
Vitinho

I'm a couple of decades late with this one

Road to Gnohere

OASIS - and yes it’s a lot

Some might say that we play anti-football
Go and tell it to Josh Cullen and Scott Twine
Some might say that we are Brexit Burnley
Have you seen our keeper, number forty nine….

Some might say we’ve got Vincent Kompany
Some might say we’ve got Vincent Kompany

Cus we’ve been standing at the turnstiles
In need of entertainment in the rain
You gave us Ian Maatsen
we’ve got cork and Barnsey once again
The turf is full of clarets
We’ve got jay Rodriguez on the brain
Roberts, Taylor, Brownhill,
And Taylor harwood-Bellis my friend

Nice work. That’s very nearly there.

Some great efforts on here, the Addams family and Abba ones are brilliant, love the Cullen making bastards look shite one too.

I think the one most likely to catch on could be the sweet Caroline one for Scotty twine and it would be fantastic if it did. could be a real anthem.
I think the ‘here we go again’ for VK fits perfectly too.
