Guest CityFan 06 Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 First of all, I do not take credit for this idea as it may of being mentioned before on this site or another. But, I personally really like this idea so here it is. Does anyone feel that playing a version of When Your Smiling just before kick off at home games would be good? and to make more people sing along to WYS, put the words on the screens? If this idea gets a good reception, I might suggest it to the club via email and see what happens. Can't gurantee the outcome but really hoping this could improve the atmosphere at home games even more and add a bit more tradition to our club with our own anthem being sang.
Larry_LCFC Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 To be honest, I wouldn't mind it. I love the teams with a club anthem that the whole ground sings before kick off. What better way to kick start a half decent atmosphere.
Bayfox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Yes we should play it just before ko but do people really need the words?
PAULCFC Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Dean Martin version on the screen's.......everyones happy!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Yes we should play it just before ko but do people really need the words? They might need the correct spelling.
Bayfox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 They might need the correct spelling. That was nearly a whoosh for me. Then I checked the thread title
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 I think they should play Got that Feelin by the Black Peas feat William always gets me in the mood for hittin the town with the lads
yorkie1999 Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 I think they should play the complete rocky horror picture show audience participation script seeing as its the 40th anniversary.
sylofox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Highway to Hell may be more apt this season. I do wonder why our club can't play our anthem an play hey jude. Liverpool do it Wham do it with a bubble machine yet we get hey fvcking jude. Our owners claim they don't want to change our identity but we don't get our own song.
Unabomber Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 I think we should play mobb deep shook ones pt 2. Like really get some disgusting bass speakers too and go all out to offend.
sylofox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Has anyone got an email addy for someone at the club that could change it. post it here and sure bentleys roof would want it so we can all make the point. WYS is LCFC hey jude is shite.
1972 Fox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Sorry to be pedantic but it's When You're Smiling. Not good if we can't spell the title of our own adopted anthem correctly.
Weller in Tights Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Just NOT the Jersey Budd version please, it's appaling. A nice slow Dean Martin version, so all those folks that have been singing it at 1000mph will get the gist of how its sung.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 Imagine if they put the words on the screen, rival fans would laugh that we don't know our "own" song.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 7 April 2015 Posted 7 April 2015 People don't get in the ground early enough for an anthem pre-match to be played. People still stream in for the first 5 minutes after kick off.
RedSoxUK Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 Lyrics on the screen is a big no no for me, looks pathetic to both sets of fans - if you don't know the words, then it's not exactly hard to pick up. I'd scrap Hey Jude completely, or play it 30 mins before instead; with When You're Smiling coming on about 5-3 minutes before the actual kick off, right after the Post Horn Gallop (the Premier League Anthem's in there somewhere.) The Billie Holiday instrumental would fit the tempo our fans need, Dean Martin's is too slow, Jersey Budd's is too shit. Would like to see a complete overhaul of the pre-match proceedings musically for next season. Bring back Republica's Ready to Go and RWs Let Me Entertain You Scrap Hey Jude and blacklist Uptown Funk. This is football.
wight88 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 It needs a bouncing ball over each word on the screen, night boat to Cairo stylee.
kingcarr21 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 We should all do the fester skank never heard of that song until it came on last night on the music channel. Lethal Bizzle really is bad
Ashley Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 Would be cringey as **** to have it on the screens Man City did it with Blue Moon just shows what a state football is in if you do not know words to your main song.
Ollie93 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 Why don't we print songbooks and put them under the seats? Then the tannoy can announce which page to turn to before a song is sung?
Pukkatrucker Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 They could paint the lyrics in the concourses, you'd soon learn them while you spend 20 minutes each game waiting in line for a pie or a pint
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 8 April 2015 Posted 8 April 2015 So embarrassing putting words to your own song, Chelsea did it in the FA Cup to 'blue is the colour' and everyone around me was taking the piss.
