Weller in Tights Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 OK, all you forum police, don't bother saying: "why have you started a new thread for this????", If you don't wanna read this go elsewhere, you choose what you click on. I know I have put this elsewhere but I just wanted as many as possible to see the correct way to sing our anthem. AND YES THIS IS OUR ANTHEM. Any books on football chants I've read, have always attributed this to us and no other club. The trouble is it is just being murdered at the moment as it is being sung far too fast, and the famous hand signals at the end has just become a blur. So read carefully, pass on to your friends, L block boys try to influence each other, sing slowly, loud and proud. When you're smiling When you're smiling The whole world smiles with you When you're laughing When you're laughing The sun comes shining through But when you're crying You bring on the rain So stop your sighing Be happy again Cause when you're smiling, when you're smilingThe whole world smiles with you, (La la, la la la - this is sung slowly with slow waving of Max Bygraves style hand waving, also known as Jazz hands - ask someone if not sure) The whole world smiles with you, (La la, la la la - as above) The Whole (slight pause while hands go up then down) World (slight pause while hands go up then down) Smiles (slight pause while hands go up then down) With Yooouuu ( both hands up doing Jazz hands) Oh and one last thing, DON'T LET THAT FAT DRUMMER JOIN IN
Weller in Tights Posted 8 December 2011 Author Posted 8 December 2011 Sorry spelling is appaling I meant Fascist.... sorry
Weller in Tights Posted 8 December 2011 Author Posted 8 December 2011 When I said read carefully and pass on to friends I didn't mean check for typing/spelling errors!!! Keep on Smiling
Houdini Logic Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 don't bother saying: "why have you started a new thread for this????" OK.... Why have you posted this at all?

Kitchandro Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Sorry i just can't understand the end bit with the hand signals, could you do a youtube video where you sing and dance the correct version please? that would be helpful, and also i fricking love our "fat drummer" i had a photo of his back tattoo for me phone wallpaper for years I'm pretty sure we do the hand signals correctly it just looks wrong because we do it too fast and it all just blurs. I don't think we need to just sing this a lot slower, we need to sing it in a completely different way. People don't want to tune into to our fans dreary out of tune version. Sing it in tune (and that's not Jersey bleeding Budd style) and it would sound fantastic. But that's as likely to happen as our stadium being refurbished to look impressive.
Fox92 Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 I thought someone else posted this the other day and said we should do it slow 15 before kick off? Seems alright for me, as long as people in the Kop join in
BrummieFOX Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Bot of a sweeping statement but a lot of the potential singers may not be in their seats 15 minutes before Kick Off.
Corky Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 I prefer "Ohhh, you're shit, arghh". Say it slowly, loud and proud.
city1993 Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Everyone knows the words and actions to 'Oh when you're smiling', don't they? Let's face, the atmosphere at the KPS is appalling, with or without the drum. I'd happily sing this, I see it as my number one City chant in fact.
Nickfosse Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Why don't we do the Dean Martin version from his Rat Pack days at the Sands Hotel Ballroom in Las Vegas? When you're drinking, when you're drinking, the world looks good to you. When you're drinking, you get stinking, it helps your point of view. But when you're sober, those grey skies won't pass, when you're sober, lifes a pain in the....oooooh Keep drinking, that's what I'm thinking, cos it's what I Iike to do
Libertine Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Fair point. It's basically just grunted. Could sound amazing if done properly.
Finnegan Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Wait.. you've read books on football songs? Edit: Wait... there ARE books on football songs!?
Dan Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 I think what you've got to do is not give up if it's not brilliant at the first time of asking. It'll only get better the more times you try, if people are going to start it and a few join in, do it most weeks, it'll take time but it has potential.
DB11 Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Regardless of whether it's song correctly or not, your description is not helpful at all. Record the correct version for us, along with a video of the hand movements?

Corky Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Wait.. you've read books on football songs? Edit: Wait... there ARE books on football songs!? There are. I bought one at the weekend: Shit Ground, No Fans.
PAULCFC Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 When someone has to put the words up on the interweb to When Your Smiling......you know you'r getting old!And if you didn't know it in pen3 20 years ago you soon learned it!(i was only 43 yesterday......bugger!)
NewburyFox Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 There are. I bought one at the weekend: Shit Ground, No Fans. Oh yeh I saw that one. Went for the sequel myself: Do you ever sing a song?
Guest MattP Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 Wait.. you've read books on football songs? Edit: Wait... there ARE books on football songs!? I've got a fairly decent one called "One Ginger Pele", entertaining for a quick read.
Jagdinho Posted 8 December 2011 Posted 8 December 2011 'Oh and one last thing, DON'T LET THAT FAT DRUMMER JOIN IN ' Is there ANY need at all to say that? Its just uncalled for, especially with Weller in tights as your name. Puts me off the idea of helping you create an atmosphere before the game completely. I prefer creating noise during the game to be honest?
