The Will Buckley song.

(Heartbeat)

That was a great day out! Nothing to be embarrassed about with that song.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Surely it should have been "Buckley, William Buckley"? It was the wrong way round with Bennett as well.. Just an observation

Does anyone remember singing the Benno version at Brentford away for about 15 minutes solid...

That was a little bit much!

 

[SeagullSongs]

We Sing Ole Ole Ole Ole Harley, Harley, when he comes on, although thats generally because we are a little bit drunk.

Are you in WSU around block F by any chance?

This song was fantastic at Brentford (?) away the season before last, for Elliott Bennett, we must have been going for at least 5 minutes

 

[Gritt23]

That one makes me cringe. Can't we do better?

Just a hunch, but .... you weren't at Peterborough were you?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Nor Brentford when we sung it for Elliot pretty much non-stop

What are you on about? Our fans trying to create an atmosphere and having a bit of fun is EMBARASSING.

The main problem with that song is the simple fact that William has three syllables (like Elliott before him), whereas Heartbeat is just two.
It really doesn't work and sounds musically awful.

The Liverpool fans, who it was copied from, sung it for Maxi (two syllables) and though the vowel sounds are different to the word heartbeat, the latter part of the chorus Maxi Rodriguez, fits almost perfectly with "Why do you miss".

The Bennett and Buckley versions do neither and therefore will always sound naff, no matter how many join in.

yep, this is the only thing I don't like about it. Fitting the extra syllable in just sounds strange. It's a good song though.

I reckon you might be right!

I think it works purely because the majority of Brighton fans seem to have problems dealing with the timing of gaps between words!

I did like the CMS song from last Friday, to the chorus of 'Can't take my eyes off you'

Oh Craig Mackail-Smith you are the love of my life
Oh Craig Mackail-Smith I'll let you shag my wife

 

[Bean]

This song sounds AMAZING when everyone sings it

 

[Albion Robster]

The Buckley song has to sung loud and proud tonight...just to annoy the Watford fans!

 

[Mackenzie]

I think the 'Ryan Harley football genius' song could be a goer.

 

[Diego Napier]

What's embarrassing or cringe worthy is that we have about 2 players with regular songs at the moment, not criticisms of an existing song, christ on a bike just get on with it. I suspect people like yourselves barely join in anyway, like the grumpy old fuckers in the muppets!

Good post.

"grumpy old fuckers", you've hit the nail right on the head!

We've only got a couple of songs for individual players and they want to get rid of those - that's small time/tinpot.
