Yeah, I noticed this yesterday morning so messaged Jake. He didn’t know they’d been taken down, Spotify hadn’t notified him. He thinks it might be a copyright violation so nothing he can I do I guess. @Anonymous F.O.X.has them on his SoundCloud so at least we can still listen to them on there. 

Thank you so much for this 👍
 

Don’t want to ask too much but did you have a link by any chance? 
 

Thanks again.

Spoke to Jake about this. Not sure why they have been taken down as some of them are originals (different lyrics and different backing song). Only thing I can think is someone reported them (the club/KPFC). 
 

I'll going to try and upload them to Spotify and YouTube music from SoundCloud once a few more are played on the Pod. Would have done it earlier but I have to have a paid subscription.

You can also download the songs for free on the browser desktop version of SoundCloud (not the app). You can do this on your phone if you "Request desktop site". A download button should appear

Guardian article below says Spotify has some sort of automated removal for things it judges to be "spam" tracks, so that's another possibility I suppose, if that got triggered somehow. The songs show up on the pods feed on Antennapod, which is the Android app I use to listen, so the underlying podcast feed might be ok.

I thought that to myself too, about the club and/or KPFC. They could make their own cult versions if they want, no one’s stopping them.

Might be wrong, and totally not my area, but could there be some defamatory concerns? Or copyright concerns?
 

I’m sure those producing know the boundaries, just curious?

copyright is a bit wooly on this tbf. Parody is protected as fair dealing, and artists have made entire careers off it, but it's generally don't use more than you actively need to to make the parody point, and even then if it can be considered harmful to their image it can be disapplied.

[orangecity23]

Could just be as simple as multiple short (<5 minutes) uploads to a podcast feed (where Spotify is expecting long form content) getting spam flagged.

[21st Century Fox]

All the songs are still available on the Apple Podcast feed.

Anyone else got that sad feeling that listening to the Pod has now taken over from watching/ going to the games as the thing you look forward to most weeks?

It’s no longer who’s that new signing or academy graduate in the squad? It’s now what new song, who’s that first time caller or ca I guess the who are you before Ric?

 

Ive gone from going to work excited to talk about games, to the highlight of my week can I get one of Rics rants or sayings into a professional conversation. 
Im still working on it’s like choosing between a bag of shit or a mug of sick… I’ll keep you updated. 
Anyway, thanks for the Pod Lads and doing something to keep us all smiling.

It's therapy for me mate.........Went down to Filbo and the KP for 40 odd years.Live away from Leicester now and i'm glad that the lads on the pod feel exactly as i do!

[teblin]

Agree, Looking forward to me weekly or bi-weekly therapy session. Always makes me smile despite the crap that is happening!

[adam]

When's the next one then lads?

Its incredible how it works exactly like that. Therapy. Over the last two seasons, without it, I am not sure how I wouldve coped. I have never met the three hosts. But I'll refer to them by first name as if they are all my mates for years!

Might as well save the next one till after Pompey have battered us and have a 5 hour directors cut edition dissecting our relegation  

[Oncle Bob]

It’s class that Jake has put Anonymous F.O.X.’s finest work on separate podcasts to make for easy access.
 

I am visualising cruising down the picturesque part of the A34 freeway, sunglasses on, arm out of the window, Free Chang For You blasting out, singing along (“but we’re starting Aa-yew” 😀).
 

There’s got to be something to look forward to this weekend.

WAGE ODDITY by CITY AREBUST

 

Wage control’s a failure, Jon

Wage control’s a failure, Jon

Check your first team bills and whack a bonus on

Wage control’s a failure, Jon (Ten, nine, eight, seven, six)

Commencing countdown to League One (Five, four, three, two, one)

Exec position, and may Top’s love be with you

 

This is Wage Control to Failure Jon 
You've really made a waste
And the papers they all know the purse is bare 
Now it's time to solve the cashflow if you dare 
This is Failure Jon to Wage Control 
I’ve blessings from the board 
And I'm gloating in a most peculiar way 
And the squad looks very deficient today

 

For here 
Am I sitting in the West Stand 
Far above the turds 
City fans are blue 
And there's nothing I can do

 

Though I'm past one hundred thousand pounds 
I'm feeling very chill 
And I think my wage slip knows which way to go 
Tell my boss I love him very much, he knows 
Wage Control to Failure Jon 
Your club is dead, it’s all gone wrong 
Can you hear me, Failure Jon? 
Can you hear me, Failure Jon? 
Can you hear me, Failure Jon? Can you-

 

Here am I gloating 'round my West Stand 
Far above the turds 
City fans are blue 
And there's nothing I can do

League One again, Naturally by Peter Gilbert O'Sullivan

 

[Verse 1]
Oh, in a few months from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself
To treat myself
And visit a Mansfield Town

 

And sitting in the kop
hearing a pin drop
We make no effort to
Avoid League 2
When we play Bromley and get battered

 

Left watching Jannick lurch, like a birch
Tree that is swaying
"My God, why did you
Let them run straight through?
3 down with 10 remaining

We may as well go home"
As I did on my own
League 1 again, naturally

 

[Verse 2]
Feels like only yesterday
European football we could play
against Seville
Or a semi final
We travelled to Rome away

 

But our incompetence knows no bounds
Reality came around
Rudkin showed so much
Reverse Midus touch
Left a squad that was pure faeces

 

Waiting to descend
The U-Bend, of English football
In the drop zone flushed away
into total freefall

 

A useless bunch of clowns
Who always let you down
League 1 again, naturally

 

[Bridge]
It seems to me that there are so many tickets not renewed
That can't be mended
Ground unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?

[Classical Guitar Break]

 

[Pre-Verse]
League 1 again, naturally

[Verse 3]
Now looking back over this year
There's been very little for us to cheer
We hit the bricks
Got a minus six
And some half price training gear

 

And in a King Power sweater
An angry pair of Ginetta's
Couldn't understand
Why the other fans
About Top rude words had spoken

 

It was clear from the start
With a club so badly broken
Despite promising changes to us
No actions were ever taken

 

And with no lessons learned
We obliviously returned
League 1 again, naturally
League 1 again, naturally

 

 

[SemperEadem]

Sat here clucking for my next fix.

Are Leicesterfantv still blaming UFS for everything bar the Iran war?

Like he isn't there (like a prayer) - Maddersonna

 

[Intro]
Lowest point in history 
All of the moneys gone
You call our chairman's name
But he's still at home 

[Chorus]
When you look for Top
Its like he isn't there
There's just an empty seat 
Because he doesn't care
In our darkest hour

You won't see King Power
It's like he isn't there 
They simply do not care

[Verse 1]
A bounced invoice
Its like the penny's dropping 

They've made their choice

A beached porpoise 

Feels like drowning 

Just close your eyes

Oh good, can't see us losing 

Turn off your sky

Don't question why

Just applaud me

[Chorus]
When you look for Top
Its like he isn't there
There's just an empty seat 
Because he doesn't care
In our darkest hour
You won't see King Power
It's like he isn't there 
They simply do not care

[Verse 2]

Weak like a child

Players softly folding

No ball control 

Just meek and mild
Now I'm booing 
That's not a team
Just prima Donna's squabbling 
Wage bill's obscene 
That's not my team 

Blame Jon Rudkin

 

[Chorus]

When you look for Top
Its like he isn't there
There's just an empty seat 
Because he doesn't care
In our darkest hour

You won't see King Power
It's like he isn't there 
They simply do not care

When you look for Top
Its like he isn't there
There's just an empty seat 
Because he doesn't care
In our darkest hour

You won't see King Power
It's like he isn't there 
They simply do not care

[Refrain]

Financial dysentry

All the good players gone

I look at tops blank face

It's like no ones at home 

[Chorus]
Don't have a prayer
Your choices took us there

You are annoying me

You are an absentee 

An awful team 

Less than it's parts it seems 

Not got a prayer, bad choice

No noise no hope and going nowhere

 

[Bridge]
Top isn't there, he doesn't care
He's at the polo field (Mm, mm-mm)
Top isn't there, he doesn't care (he doesn't care)
Failed PSR appeal (Oh, oh-oh-oh yeah)
Top isn't there, he doesn't care (league one I'll take you there)
Boat's on uneven keel(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Top isn't there, he doesn't care(Oh, yeah)
See you in Huddersfield (Oh, oh)

[Chorus]

Don't have a prayer
Your choices took us there

You are annoying me

You are an absentee 

An awful team 

Less than it's parts it seems 

Not got a prayer, bad choice

No noise no hope and going nowhere

When you look for Top
Its like he isn't there
There's just an empty seat 
Because he doesn't care
In our darkest hour
You won't see King Power
It's like he isn't there 
They simply do not care

Like he isn't there

[Outro]
It's like despair, your choices took us there
It's like despair
It's like despair, your choices took us there
It's like despair

It's like despair, your choices took us there
It's like despair

It's like despair, your choices took us there
It's like despair
