[Albion] Adopting another song/anthem

[The Grockle]

For obvious reasons GOSBTS will always be our song when the team comes out but watching Forest last night and how they belt out mull of kintyre and clubs like Hibs with sunshine on leigh it got me thinking whether there was another song we could adopt perhaps at final whistle or as well as GOSBT

Fatboy slim's praise you always feels a good fit for us with his links to the club city. The lyrics seems to echo our journey.

 

[Bakero]

Praise You would be a good one to bang out in unison, simply changing Baby to Brighton.

No idea but it sounds pretty decent when they blast it out.

I'm not really one for organised songs but I think if GOSBT was proceeded by something easy to sing, like praise you it might encourage more to join in, also might wake the crowd up before the team comes out

Would have to be by a Brighton band and Tom Hark is the obvious one but everyone uses that. So I would nominate anything by Peter and the Test Tube Babies. Elvis is Dead is catchy

 

[The Grockle]

I always feel that simple chants/songs create the best atmosphere.

I took my Arsenal and Swindon mates to that 1 nil home defeat to Burnley back in the championship days when the whole stadium sang the Great escape. They both said it sounded incredible and asked of it was always sang when we went a goal down.....for some reason it never caught on.

There was people that I sat around who barely whispered Albion at games who joined in for ages

Must have been something around their golden years. It was number 1 at the end of 1977.

I'm not a fan of unoriginal songs, they are so DULL. Even too dull for me.

GOSBTS, l love hearing that belted out. It's about Sussex, it's ours.

I love belting out Freed From Desire, absolutely no meaning or context to anything Albion related, but just love it...

 

[The Grockle]

I always imagine bananarama's Robert deniro when I think of RDZ but that song might be step too far

Sussex by the Sea is perfectly sufficient thanks.

Everton play awful songs for about 10 minutes before the team come out. Sound like a scouse Chas and Dave.

The John Peel session version, obviously.

(Look it up, kids; it's a fine homage to the great American warbler)

I do too, however I am unsure about my feelings about the song, do I simply love it as it is associated with our success?

Southend used to play a genuinely shocking burst of what sounded like 'knees up, mother Brown' every time they scored a goal. Which, on one occasion I went to Roots Hall, was several times. My will to live actually started writing me a farewell letter. Was that when I drove there with @Papa Lazarou in one of the clapped out cars I owned before I paid of my debts? Can't even have been in this century. Crikey.

Back to the main theme of the thread, what better than this from local band The Last Cry. This is absolutely epic. And the singer is an albion supporter and is on NSC. And there is no complicated series of notes to baffle the tone deaf, who struggle even with the n n-n-n n n-n-n-n-n in the Billy G chant.

I sing whoever has scored - eg Fergi's on fire , your defence is terrified..

Good question, you're probably right. The thread is a good one. GOSBTS will never be replaced as the game opener, but at the end...who knows where we go!!

They’re not the only ones who sing it though. Charlton have been singing it for decades “mist rolling in from the Thames..” obvs in their version.

It's a peninsula not an island and co written with Denny Laine who was from Birmingham but other than that factually correct
