Am I the only one that doesn't put the fan chant together with the song it came from? I'm not. I can't be!
Like, different parts of the brain not connecting? (Or working, but let's leave that to one side, ya?)
It's like a musical version of Idiot Eureka.
Like Gallen's 'Magic Hat' is 'My Old Man's a Dustman'. Sang it for years before I made the connection.
The latest one, and I really hate this one, is "We've Got Varane....." which I know every club has a version of. It was in my head this weekend, and then! Fan Chant Idiot Eureka!
I'm singing 'Achy Breaky Heart'. I hated that song. It was the enemy. It's the song that the lad with the scythe would sing when he'd come calling for me.
And now I'm singing it?
So what songs/tunes do our chants come from?
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
Slightly related but on an LSA or one of Mels coaches we were heading up North and most of the coach were singing the usual Rangers songs when all of a sudden they started singing about Marc Bolan getting killed on Barnes Common I can't remember the words but 90% of the coach were singing It, I looked bemused at my lad and he looked bemused back. Most of the coach were singing It.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

They'd probably been in the White Swan beforehand.
The only chant i am jealous of Brian, sung by other clubs that wish we had it as a tune for a song for ourselves, is the "Feeling glad all over" chant sung by Palace fans.
Its a real buzzy upbeat song that sounds brilliant when a great majority of their fans sing it, after scoring goals..
Pigbag is good but would not mind another one for celebrations now...

Chicory Tip is the one that springs to my mind because I bet most football fans of today have no memory of it as an actual record. Maybe "Go West" is heading the same way?
(As of yesterday I owe Paul Gambaccini - I know, look it was a 3-hour drive home - for the fact that it was written by Giorgio Moroder, as in "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer, which seems weird.)

The Beach Boys Sloop Jon B get used a lot.
"You have to live here/ We get to go home" is my favourite.
Or maybe "He's got a dry scalp" sung at Joe Hart when he'd just started the Head and Shoulders ad :-)
Ha I remember the head and sholders one..... My new favourite is " Paul Smyth from the six yard ljne" quick stuff A win away a win awy sung to a lion sleeps tonight can't remember who sung the original

My favourite ever chant is unfortunately a 'pool original but I'm sure a number of suitable targets have played for us but not the supporting cast whilst they were here.
Don’t blame it on the Biscan, Don’t blame it on the Hamann, Don’t blame it on the Finnan, Blame it on Traore, He just can’t, he just can’t, he just can’t control his feet...
The old "Give us a Q... give us a U etc. what have you got? Sore throats " always gave me a smile but no tune I am afraid.
The grass is always greener.

Where’s your Mama gone (chirpy chirpy tweet tweet) by Middle of the Road became “Where’s your Parrot gone” when David Seaman, playing for Arsenal brought his pony tail to Loftus Road
Strong and stable my arse.

Someone on one here started the Dry Scalp one.
IIRC there were three chants in total that day.
The second one being "He's got perfect hair" for Julio Cesar.
A mate has postulated this theory. The songs are born on away trips on coaches and trains. Given their first airings at away grounds. And if they catch on will soon be sung at home.
Here’s one I heard 100 years or so ago, sung by Arsenal about us - it made me laugh. Can’t think of any other uses for it so could be a one-off. Haven’t heard it for a while.
