For about 30 years, most songs and chants are sung pretty much everywhere, so I really like hearing stuff that's particular to a club. Our own GOSBTS is a good example of this of course, but I kind of wish we had a second unique one.

I can think of a few - Delilah at Stoke, Goodnight Irene at Bristol Rovers, No-one Likes Us at Millwall. Personally my favourites are the the chip butty song at Sheff Utd:


And even better, The Lord's My Shepherd at West Brom:




Any other good ones?

Oh and Leeds - MOT is shit. On the other hand, "ITV is f***ing shit" is a work of genius:

I'm always a little bit saddened to hear a tune that I think might be original to us being sung somewhere else. Happened yesterday with one of the telly matches having a "She's Electric" tune chant....

Noting that claims of originality are usually mistaken, either willfully or just down to imperfect knowledge, how many original songs/chants have we actually had over the years?

SBTS is the obvious and massive stand out.

Had anyone else used "That's Amore" before we did...?
Was Bissouma the first "Tequila" player or did someone else get there first?

The other question I wonder about is how much is known about which teams fans have actually originated the use of now widespread chant tunes..??? My guess would be the big teams that used to be on the telly most often..? Which of our favourite chant tunes are most and least used elsewhere?

I reckon we we first to use That's Amore and Tequila, but could be wrong. Reminds me of Newcastle fans being pissed off because Wigan got the recognition for using "Will Grigg's on fire" when they had been singing "Mitro's on fire" for about a year beforehand.

I remember being in the North Stand when YNWA, with claps started. One group in the North were singing something else with claps in it, I can’t remember what, another group were doing YNWA. The 2 songs kind of merged and the hybrid YNWA was born.

“ Walk on, clap clap, Walk on clap clap, With hope, clap clap, in your heart, clap clap” etc, etc, etc.
I think it became quite widespread for a while.

On Saturday it struck me again what a great song we have. I mean, other clubs also have great songs, including Anfield. But GOSBTS is one to be proud of.

I don't think you were the only one experiencing an extra frisson of pride during SBTS on Saturday...

I took a moment to notice that I was stood next to my three brothers and we were all belting it out. Having moved to Hove in 1970 we have clocked up over 200 years of going to Albion matches between us.

It's a great song. I do wish everyone belted it out in full knowledge of the lyrics, but because we don't, there isn't enough confidence in the singing yet. This is because the club sort of forced the proper lyrics on the fans about 10 years ago rather than letting us sing it as we used to.

If our fans all learnt the words properly, it would be epic.

We’re getting there. I saw a video from Saturday and everyone is singing Stand or Fall.
