Old North Stand Songs you don't hear any more

[Barnham Seagull]

One man went to burn, BURN, went to burn the selhurst,

One man and his petrol bomb went to burn the selhurst,

Two men went to burn etc, etc

[Brovion]

Yeah your right cos we've never had any longer songs than that

Number 1 was Peter Ward
Number 2 was Peter Ward
Number 3 was Peter Ward
Number 4 was Peter Ward
Number 5 was Peter Ward
Number 6 was Peter Ward
Number 7 was Peter Ward
Number 8 was Peter Ward
Number 9 was Peter Ward
Number 10 was Peter Ward
Number 11 was Peter Ward
Number 12 was Peter Ward

We all live in a Wardy wonderland
A Wardy wonderland, a Wardy wonderland
etc...

Ok, look I'll try and make it simple for you. The problem with remembering long songs is that involves remembering lots of words. this problem is compounded (that means 'made worse') if there are lots of verses. This is because firstly people might struggle to learn all the words, and secondly they may get the verses in the wrong order. This will result in some people singing verse 3 whilst others do verse 5 and the whole thing will sound a mess.

The song you've quoted above has a total of ELEVEN words, plus the first twelve numbers. It only appears to be long because it pretty much repeats the same thing again and again and again. I think everyone can learn eleven words and also everyone knows the sequence of numbers, i.e. after having sung 'number 3 is Peter Ward' everybody knows the next line will be 'number 4 is Peter Ward.'

It is why the songs sung on terraces are always only fragments of songs (often with the words altered) and long, wordy attempts will not catch on.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

We ain't got very good - manners,
We fight wiv bottles and - spanners,
But we're rolling along,
Singing a song,
Al-bi-on.

 

[Wilko]

Oh Wilko is a tosser
wilko is a twat
so come on you f***ing hypocrite
what do you think of that!

I think this was an old north stand chant and if it wasn`t it should have been.I don`t pretend either.

Salty is hard man
fighting by the sea
the only problem is
his gay fetish fantasy

I used to love the sound of that ringing out around the Goldstone

 

[Madness]

If your all going to selhurst clap your hands

 

[Horsham Gull]

Sack the board sack the board (you know the rest)

 

[Storer68]

Can't believe no-on'es remembered.......

Build A Bonfire
Build A Bonfire
Put Bellotti on top.
Put Bill Archer in the middle
And we'll burn the f@@king lot

 

[salty seagull]

Salty is hard man

[seagullsovergrimsby]

kill kill kill the bill

Even better when a copper or two had his helmet knocked off when a dozen OB waded in to pull some poor sod out of the crowd after a chant of "Knees Up Brighton Town"

 

[sod1]

oh my what a rotten song... shit !

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

sammy...oh sammy

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

I'm a KNOCK KNEED CHICKEN AND A BOW LEGGED HEN
We ain't losta fight since we don't know when
we dont give a wiggle and we dont give a wank
We are the Brighton North stand
lalalalalalalalaaaaa etc

When I was an itty bitty boy
My Grandma gave me an itty bitty toy
TWO Palace fans hanging on a string
She told me to kick their f***ing heads in

Tiptoe through the North Stand,
WITH YOUR BOOTS ON
Get ya head kicked
So Tiptoe through the North Stand with me



That ends todays lesson

Slight correction. I believe it went something like this:

Knock Knock
Whose there?
Iza
Iza who?
Iza knock kneed chicken and a bow legged hen................

Alternatively:

Oh we ate Andy Pandy and we hate Bill and Ben
We hate Ken Dodd and his Diddymen
We dont give a wiggle and we dont give a wank
We are the Brighton...North Stand

But I am getting on a bit.
Worthing boys we are ere!

south stand southstand do your job southstand do your job.

a great thread this
many funny ones but i dont know how to quote more than one item at a time
so i chose this one! it didnt appear that often in a season but was a classic

other favs that are already mentioned and i remember well (and often)include ... "tiptoe through the northstand"... "B.R.A"... and "molly malone"

one of the songs i liked the least came from the Blackburn Rvrs fans in the NE singing "thank you very much for Kenny Beamish, thank you very much, thank you very very much" ... we had no reply!

for those who need to know ... Ken Beamish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the spurs fans singing "hit em on the head with a baseball bat" probably doesnt belong to this thread either but at least it was in the North Stand!

and i dont think it counts as a chant but "Get that f...... Board out of the way" is a favourite that i was pleased to hear at Withdean

 

[loco61]

"tiptoe through the North Stand" "

and

Knock Knock
Whose there?
Iza
Iza who?
Iza knock kneed chicken and a bow legged hen................
We ain't losta fight since we don't know when
we dont give a wiggle and we dont give a wank
We are the Brighton North stand
lalalalalalalalaaaaa etc

should definitely be resurrected and regular at Falmer

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Think this was a one off, however:

Half a dozen blokes donned KKK hoods in the middle of the South Stand:

One of the bosun started singing:

Have you seen the Klu Klux Klan
They are in the South Stand
They are built like tanks
And they are a bunch of wanks

Anyone else at that game circa 1980 I reckon.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

One of the only times I heard this dreadful song:

We were playing Tottenham one evening game and a load of Arsenal skins came down and sung:

Spurs are on their way to auschwitz
Hitler's gonna gas em again

...and people in the North stand were singing along..

I think people were still smarting after the battering Spurs handed out to Brighton fans in the late 70's


Thank goodness this sort of thing isnt heard often at Brighton ( although someone behind me at the FCUM game started singing the "whose that lying on the tarmac" song)

 

[bristolseagull]

In your Walsall slums
In your Walsall slums
You look in the dustbin for something to eat,
You find a dead cat and think its a treat.
In your Walsall slums

you piss on the carpet you shit in the bath
you finger your granny you think its a laugh....
