Ashley Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 FCM any chance of this being bought up at your next meeting I believe you've had one this past week but WYS needs to be played pre kick off or as the game starts. We have the Jersey Budd version and other versions on there, possibly a poll on the clubs website to decide which version we want as fans then go from there?
foxfanazer Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 100% agree with this. Such a wasted chant. If we could get enough people belting it out at a slow pace it could sound amazing
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The Jersey Budd version got absolutely belted in Club 13 in Bruges just before kick off, it sounded fantastic. The 'traditional' version is getting better gradually but so many people either don't know the words or just can't be arsed.
Voll Blau Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 Keep Right On just sung loud and clear by Birmingham fans now. Not a particularly catchy tune and has more than six words. Embarrassing we don't belt WYS out with that passion.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 WYS has got potential if we sang it right. Although it could take time, with patience I think we'd have our great anthem back again. I get the impression fans would be willing to sing it too. It needs prompting, however, prompting in the right way. No words on the screens or anything like that. A version at a good pace played through the speakers. KRO at Birmingham is one of the best anthems in English football for me, with MOT up there too. It's a form of identity for clubs and it'd be nice if we could regain that.
Bedford Fox Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 Problems always the same.. it's sang at a different pace every time. A lot of people don't like the Jersey Budd version so that wont catch on. A video or decent version needs doing to encourage fans to sing it. If we could get it going before every home game it would be incredible.
Finnegan Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The Jersey Budd version is a ****ing abomination that should be scrubbed from the history of music permanently.
boots60 Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The only fans that can change WYS to its correct tempo would be the Union FS boys at the top of SK1. Any Union FS on here can you have a try?
Leicesterpool Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 Can we change theme, I'm sorry but it's a dirge. You need something strong to get the pulse racing, a chant what makes you proud to be a city fan.

This is the problem. You think it's crap so won't sing it, I think the old version is crap so I won't sing it. Magnify that though all the fans and no one wants to sing either.

It's a catchy tune that epitomises the many ups and downs of our great football club. We own it and we should proudly sing it.
Leicesterpool Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The chant was for the period of the league one campaign and for the sven period. Felt since then the song hasn't been that popular.

The Jersey Budd version is a dirge. Any version of Hey Jude is a dirge, however.
filbertstreet Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 at least make hey jude a bit more leicester, do ey up jude or something
Finnegan Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The other part of the problem is that it's a completely inappropriate (musically) melody, it's not an anthem at any speed, that's always sounded shit. The only reason people cling to it is they think it's some sort of club tradition that'd be awful to let go. In my lifetime (93 Filbo to now) it's literally never sounded impressive. If it wasn't for the fact nobody else sings it, nobody would care. I get wanting something unique and I'm as envious as anyone else of the likes of Lords My Shepherd, YNWA, Sunshine on Leith, but they're all solid, sing-a-long anthems.

Far better that that shite we pinched from palace or whoever. It's ours its unique and we know who sang it first.
Vacamion Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The problem with the Jersey Budd version isn't that it's the wrong tempo (which it is) or that he sounds like he's had seven pints of Stella and is shouting into the night (which it does). The problem is that it's completely the wrong tune. For those of you old enough to remember hymns at school, hearing Jersey Budd sing WYS is like hearing the "other" version of All Things Bright And Beautiful. It's just wrong.
Chico1958 Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 Just watched it on You Tube ......................It's terrible Stick to the original and whats wrong with Hey Jude ? Let it Be, its a Long and Winding Road to get Help! for the Paper Back Writer, Imagine the Bands on the Run with a Ticket to Ride for the Day Tripper Yesterday going to Penny Lane how will they Get Back, We Can Work It Out if we Work Together or Something. All You Need Is Love. I Feel Fine now It's Been a Hard Days Night following Eight Days a Week with Lady Madonna on the Yellow Submarine so Hello Goodbye. I Feel Fine From Me To You. I'm off to see Eleanor Rigby cos She Loves You. Only members of a certain age will understand this

1972 Fox Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 This is more or less our only unique song which has survived (barely) from decades past. Personally I love it and think we really should try to embrace it to make it our anthem once again. We have so many copied chants and tunes which are average at best but WYS is our own. Can't understand those who don't want it. Those who fail to learn from history........

Too right, like it or not it's our unique song & should be sung loud & proud at a more sedate speed as in every other teams anthems. Im all for the new songs that are in the current repotoire, brilliant, keep em coming, but alongside the older songs as a nod to the past.
ScubaBlue Posted 30 October 2016 Posted 30 October 2016 The problem with the Jersey Budd version is that every time I hear it, I want to punch myself in the face! Absolutely horrendous.

Lyrically it's so so relevant and would sound fantastic if it caught on and everyone belted it out. To reach the unreachable star.
