Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Danlcfc is this the song? This is what it's like to be city This is what it's like to be small You sign Chris burke We sign cambiasso cambiasso
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Its taken nearly 4 years but I'm happy we're now talking of ditching WLY
Bamba's Babes Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Ben Marshall song was awful; in fact most of our songs are awful, repetitive and thoughtless. Why do we sing songs to death?
leicesterseddon Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Hey Jude, WLY and birches 'the teams are gathering in the tunnel' make me cringe. All repeated again yesterday and will no doubt be done again v Everton. I know, it's going to be horrible this season. It really bothers me actually. I know it's an overreaction, slightly irrational, etc. but it's the little things, isn't it? I feel in so many areas I'm more in love with the club compared to 4/5 seasons ago, but the whole setup on matchdays irks me more than it should still. If they got rid of goal music, Hey Jude and all the other crap it would improve my experience of matchdays by a good 10-15%. It sounds really ****ing stupid to say that, but I bet I'm not the only one that feels it.
Voll Blau Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Danlcfc is this the song? This is what it's like to be city This is what it's like to be small You sign Chris burke We sign cambiasso cambiasso Why would we sing about ourselves being small? People really need to put some thought into their lyrics. If you wanna do a song to that tune we should revive the one me and my mate got going at Blackpool a few years back... This is how it feels to be Forest This how it feels to be scum This is how it feels when your dad fingers you up the buuuuuum, you up the buuuuuuuum, you up the buuuum...
Soup Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Ben Marshall song was awful; in fact most of our songs are awful, repetitive and thoughtless. Why do we sing songs to death? Your right about the Ben Marshall chant,but seriously wrong about the rest of your post.Sorry pal.
daddylonglegs Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 we dont make more noise than we do with the 'wooooooahhh' bit of the ben marshall song. Think L1 need to start something against Everton - which is how it started with Marshall. Cambiasso doesnt really go...Albrighton could work tho
David Lowe Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Hey Jude, WLY and birches 'the teams are gathering in the tunnel' make me cringe. All repeated again yesterday and will no doubt be done again v Everton. How can somebody saying 'the teams are in the tunnel' and welcoming the opposition make you cringe?
Vlad the Fox Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 'Those were the days'. A song from our past which can be belted out, sung not chanted.
Finnegan Posted 12 August 2014 Posted 12 August 2014 I wish I could actually shoot every self conscious, overly serious, football fan hipster cvnt that describes any popular chant as cringeworthy. I've been sat in a morgue for about a decade at the KP and finally there's a couple of songs that have gotten the ground involved beyond one tiny block that can't be heard from the opposite side. They might be simple, they might be basic but that's how they get people involved. Unless you're going to get off your ****ing arse, work out how the scourers and the Mancs get their "original" songs to catch on and make like the same then shut the hell up and give it some We Love Yous. At least it raises the decibel level a pinch. The only other thing that gets us a fraction louder is a shit ref. If you turn up to the football to actually give a shit about looking cool or hard to opposition fans more than you do enjoying yourself and making bit of noise then you are the ULTIMATE plastic. That's what plastic should mean. Tragically fake little teenage girls getting their knickers in a twist over looking super awesome for their peers. God I ****ing hate this place sometimes.
knowf***all Posted 12 August 2014 Posted 12 August 2014 If all goes well and we do actually sign Esteban what are your thoughts on ditching we love you song which has ran its course and bring back the ben marshall song ?? Replace ben marshall with cambiasso and we have a simple but effective and above all a loud chant that everyone in the ground will know? Sy-la-blles...... Ben-mar-shall=3Cam-bi-a-so=4 Don't fit Ull-o-ah=3 Fits.......simples
The Year Of The Fox Posted 13 August 2014 Posted 13 August 2014 He's magic you knowwwwww Es-te-ban Cambiasso

It makes me laugh why so many people are bothered by what others think. And these football hipsters need drop kicking to Welford Road.

SO MUCH THIS. If I could give this a million rep points, I would. There are so many ****ing football hipsters in this place, it's embarrassing how much deference they show to the Premier League bigger boys as well, absolutely pathetic. 'But... but... but... we can't possibly sing We Love You when the giants of Crystal Palace come to town! I'll cringe so hard if those Palace boys see us singing that song! And what about the Poznan when Man City come to town? It'll be so embarrassing if they think we've 'stolen' it from them!' (despite them nicking it in the first place - typical Mancs). Whatever happened to just going to the pub, getting battered, having a sing at the football and enjoying the ****ing game? Who cares what we sing as long as there's some noise and some atmosphere?
Finnegan Posted 13 August 2014 Posted 13 August 2014 I tell you who should be embarrassed, any Crystal Palace fan that takes the piss out of our supporters for "stealing" it in the first place. Celtic were doing it before them and they got the idea from St Pauli. And then that's just them picking a cheesy bit of broken English to sing. Christ. They're just a bunch of football fans, this isn't high culture, there's no intellectual property. Half the world's football chants are sung by about every club going.

Wahey... he's back. Missed these rants. It's a bloody tightrope nowadays trying to be a proper Leicester fan. I remember sitting in the double decker with my Dad and hearing the roar from the Spion Kop beneath us. And you know what one of the loudest, most intimidating, most raucous chants was? LEICESTER, LEICESTER, LEICESTER, LEICESTER, LEICESTER, LEICESTERRRR, LEICESTER Whatever you sing just sing it loud. stop giving so much of a shit and the rest will take care of itself.

Soup Posted 13 August 2014 Posted 13 August 2014 I'm just saying if it is as simple as you make out why has it been a morgue for the past few seasons.
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 13 August 2014 Posted 13 August 2014 When we do get the singing going, most people sing about one line or sing it faster and then everyone goes off indifferent directions and one end is singing. The beginning the other end has finished it!

I really don't see why any attempt to try and diverge from the homogenised fan culture we've come to accept in this country is such a bad thing? Chants overlap between sets of fans, I get that. Some tunes are more conducive to being sung by large crowds of mostly tone deaf blokes. But the idea that WLY is now accepted as "our song" and the one that gets people going, after half the Football League already sings it, is quite frankly a little saddening. I completely agree with you that there needs to be more effort to be genuinely original and creative, and hopefully this SK1 project and L/K will be able to bring that to the table more and more. All it requires is a few switched-on heads to persist with a good new song and it'll spread. The likes of Man United and Liverpool are lucky in that their wider fanbase seem to be a lot more clued up about the idea of cherishing a unique culture/heritage/songbook than ours (and most of the rest of the country's) are. I've absolutely no desire to stand around like a plank looking moody all game, and I'll quite happily sing on my own. But blindly belting out the latest youtube fad purely because it's easy is not something we should be striving for in my opinion. We have a great underused traditional songbook as it is, let's revive that and add to it instead of just following the crowd.
Raj Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 !!! Some of you cvnts moan about lack of atmosphere...then when songs are sung you moan about them being cringeworthy!!! Its okay you lot enjoy yourselves in the suites eating your prawn sarnies!!!
LCFC_Nige Posted 14 August 2014 Posted 14 August 2014 I have a theory that the character of the football ground reflects the character of the city in general. And we're a pretty dour, miserable bunch all in all. Just look at this forum! Sadly this means it's very out of character for a large collection of Leicester folk to have a good time, sing, be optimistic... A friend of mine said that if you see the hoardes walking down filbert way after a match you'd have no idea if we'd won or lost. He's absolutely right and I think it says a lot about us. Now to prove my point, the abuse...
