"Sussex By The Sea". Sing fast or slow?

[Yorkie]

Or, heaven forbid, a conductor.

Dave do you want to go for it?

 

[Jack Straw]

OK, 15 secondsish, as opposed to the current 7 ish!

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Very good point Jack Straw. I tried to keep up with everyone else against Luton but was always a line or so behind, as were a few other people around me. Lets take it slow and enjoy the terrace anthem that is Good Old Sussex by the Sea against Swindon.

Also on the subject of chants, can we please bring back “We are Brighton, Super Brighton” and the also excellent Brighton adaptation from the end of Hey Jude.

 

[Turkey]

I will make sure WE ARE BRIGHTON returns

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Did anyone hear the dance/europop version of GOSBTS that was played at last night's reserves game. Hilarious

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

Maybe Moped might like to do a remix.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

You want a remix? Why not a complete re-write?

This is from the Songs of the Imperial Klingon Marine Corps

Lyrics by
Qatlh sutai reS'Qa'


Ueber uns die Sterne,
so ziehen wir hinaus.
Zu streiten in der Ferne,
fuer die Ehre, Ruhm und Haus!
Was immer kommen moege,
Wir trotzen der Gefahr!
Treu und kuehn,
in der Schlacht,
bis der Sieg uns lacht,
Wir Krieger von reS'Qa'!

Schon in den alten Tagen,
stuermten wir voran!
Die Feinde zu erschlagen,
ohne Gnade, Mann fuer Mann!
Zu Kahless Ruhm und Ehren,
streitet unsere Schar!
Mit dem Schwert,
unverwandt,
siegen wir, Hand in Hand,
wir Krieger von reS'Qa'!

So lasst uns zu den Sternen ziehen!
Neue, fremde Welten sehen!
Unser Schlachtruf ertoene,
hell und klar!
Lang lebe Haus reS'Qa'!

 

[Turkey]

Hmm.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

There's also the official School Song of Matraville High School, Chifley, New South Wales:-

There's a school at Chifley
Our Matraville High School
Where we're taught and trained to think and work
And respect the law and rule

And when one day we leave thee
Where ever we may be
We will will tell them all
That we stand or fall
For our High School
By the sea

Oh Matra, Matra by the sea
my best days were spent with thee
Please be proud of me
As I'm proud of thee
My High School by the sea

 

[Turkey]

 

[Lord Bracknell]

And there's also the version sung in New Zealand by Kingz FC:-

Now is the time for marching
Now let your hearts be gay
Hark to the merry bugles
Sounding along our way
So let your voices ring my boys
And take the time from me
And I'll sing you a song as we march along
Of Football Kingz FC, For…

We're the men from Football, Football Kingz FC
We sing and chant and clap and dance
And support endlessly
And when you go to Colditz
Whoever you may be
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Football Kingz FC

Oh Football, Football Kingz FC
Good old Football Kingz FC
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Football Kingz FC


"Colditz" appears to be what they call their ground - in Auckland, I think.
