Thanks the first answer makes sense now (d'oh) and now I think of it the second one is Camptown Races...

That's called 'Marching Through Georgia' which I posted on the other thread. (It's not a pop song).

So its not Camptown races then?

Isn't that... Hello, hello, we are the Brighton boys, etc... ?

 

[Titanic]

No, that's... Two World Wars and one World Cup, doo dah... etc...

 

[Perry Milkins]

Isn't that... Hello, hello, we are the Brighton boys, etc... ?

For if you are Palarse fan surrender or you'll die...We all follow the Albion.

 

[Perry Milkins]

No, that's... Two World Wars and one World Cup, doo dah... etc...

I may be getting the tunes confused but it still fits the syllables and lyrics

 

[Titanic]

No, that's... Two World Wars and one World Cup, doo dah... etc...

actually you can sing that to 'Brighton bo-oys, we are here, woah-oh etc.." as well, which may well have morphed into the current popular rendition that we get.

[name of team] boys we are here woah woah
[name of team] boys we are here woah woah.

This is to the same tune as:
"Can you here the <name of team> sing? no no"
"Can you here the <name of team> sing?"
"I can't hear a f***ing thing"

?

That's the one, I'm surprised that nobody else seemed to know that. It's not heard these days but was a very popular in the 70s as was London Bridge is Falling down. The lyrics were 'Harry Roberts is our mate, is out mate, Harry Roberts is our mate, He kills coppers'.

Thankfully not heard now !

Yes, actually it is.

Oh yes, been puzzling over 'Shit Ground, No fans' and realised it was The Pompey Chimes. For the life of me I have no idea where that originated. Doubt that a Pompey fan wrote it.

 

[Perry Milkins]

The chant 'Here we go' is that not from a Royal Marines Marching tune...

They are commonly known as the Westminster Chimes, as produced by the 4 quarter bells on the Houses of Parliament clock... Big Ben being the bell that strikes the hours.

The notes used for the so-called Pompey chimes are the third and fourth quarters.

That's 'Hooray for the Red, White and Blue' AKA 'Stars and Stripes Forever'.
