What songs do I teach my son?

[tweenster]

I will be taking my son to the Amex for the first time on 14 Feb for the Millwall game, we shall be seated in the Lower West Stand. What songs do I need to teach him to become an integrated Seagull?

"We're the West Stand, we're the West Stand, we're the West Stand Brighton Boys!"

Yep, got that one!

"If you hate Palace stand up". Yep, got that one, too, along with the actions!

"Seagulls!"

Al - bee - on!" etc That one too!

Anything else I need for a first time Amex attendee?

We're blooming brilliant, we're blooming brilliant

 

[Jonno]

whoever needed teaching any songs for the football? just listen, learn and repeat.
I must say I think the songs we mostly sing are pretty crappy, so many good old ones seem to have been lost.

Which is how we've ended up with a 5 year old that signs:-

'sit down shut up'

at the drop of a hat!

 

[Lord Bamber]

You cant go wrong with Sussex-By-The-Sea, my 5 year old loves it, at games and at home.

She also loves driving down Old Shoreham Road so she can sing "going down old Shoreham Road......to see the Brighton Aces"

Think that will do nicely for a start!! I'll be in WSL with my little girl and I'm sure she will be singing away too!!! Let's hope the ref is decent as at the Burnley game I had the very embarrassing question asked 'Mummy, what's a wanker?' I in true good mummy style ignored her and watched the game - feeling a little hand tap my arm - she was not going to give up!!! 'Mummy, mummy, what's a wanker?'

So then I had to explain that wanker is not a word that we would normally use in everyday language, however, the majority of the crowd deem it fit to use it and it's probably justified on certain occasions but not for a 7 year old -!!!! That seemed to pacify her for the rest of the game! She came home and greeted my husband with the words 'hi daddy, it was noisy at the footie today and guess what? Mummy and I saw a real proper wanker'!!! Oh my days!!!!

We're blooming brilliant, we're blooming brilliant

i HATE it when people take OLD songs and change the words.....
I have made it clear to my son that the words are "We're f***ing brilliant"...

He'll get a thick ear if I hear him singing your new fangled bastardisation.

As well as those our kids like
"We are Brighton, Super Brighton"
The hey jude one
Great escape theme
The Adam El Abd song

However they LOVE "Sit down shut up" and "You don't know what you're doing"

Should have said its something daddy does when mummy isn't in.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I would say the "Knick knack Paddywhack" song needs to wait a few year years yet.

I never thought of that!!!! Brilliant I'll use it next time he asks!!! Thanks xxx

Teach him them all, it's part of growing up a football fan, a proper fan that actually goes to matches, rather than all the pretend football fans that only ever watch a match on the TV?
I stood on the north terrace at the Goldstone from the age of five and it didn't do me any harm, besides kids are allowed to swear at a football match aren't they, just as long as they don't go home and call their mother a wanker ! What goes on at football stays at football !

 

[Black Dalek]

Brighton March. G x 4. A x 4. (chords) We're on our way and we're seeking our revenge, dead man's footsteps ...... Good Luck.

Yep i would agree with Sussex-By-The-Sea my 5year old lad has been singing it ever since his first Amex game (Burnley).......mind you he has also been singing the referees a w....................ally!

like many palace fans on here,deluded.read the thread,he is taking his 5 year old son for the first time,its a simple question,why dont you run along to your 50 ultras and get on that megaphone and drum and pretend to make a atmosphere.

if you don't like their keeper you can always do 'do-dgy keeper, do-dgy keeper' instead of 'you're SHIT ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH'
