HELP!! An Age Old Chant

[FOXYDAVE123]

Hello all,

 

Its been bugging me for a while, but theres a old chant I uses to sing when O went to watch Leicester as a young lad.

 

The chant spelled out the name Leicester by reading each letter individually , e.g. " L" - "E" - "I" - "C" - "E" .. etc

But i cant remember the tune behind the chant, can anybody help? It was a classic in its day.

 

Thanks , Dave

Don't forget to include the claps. The claps are important.

 

In much the same way that jazz hands at the appropriate moment are vital in When you're smiling.

History shows that the clap and jazz go hand in hand.

Don’t that one I’m afraid, not that in to Deep Purple. I know Murray Head sang Judas and I think Yvonne Elliman Mary?

Impressive - it was Child in Time. I recommend listening to it, either the original or off Made in Japan.

First gig I ever went to, Machine Head tour at DeMont in about '72-73ish(?). Couldn't hear a thing for the next couple of days 

 

Highway Star my fave (sorry, off topic).

I was born in 1970, so my debut was 1987....I'm rather jealous! I saw them at the De Mont in 1996.

Loudest gig I ever went to was at Loughborough town hall somewhere around the late seventies . Colosseum 2 (Gary Moore of thin Lizzy and others fame) were playing. I think nobody remembered to tell them that it was only a small venue so they just set up their usual PA system. Ears were ringing for the next three days.
