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?

2-1 you only beat us 2-1, everyone else scores 3 as probably one of the best off the cuff so his have heard, up at Man City sung to “blue moon” after a long run of conceding 3 goals a game. |  |

Two more recent ones coming to mind are “Win away” = Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) and “Oh Bobby Zamora” = Seven Nation Army which is unusual as it only uses the guitar riff and not the song melody. |  | | |

Few youngsters in the corner start the chants. No one else is brave enough. As I said before if you don't like them the floor is all yours. |  | | |

An interesting one is to think of song tunes which were once popular, but have now disappeared as the song itself disappeared from popular culture.
Like, football chants based around The Automatic's "Monster" was quite popular for a few years in the late 2000s, but as the band and song disappeared into obscurity so has football fans coming up with chants to it. |  | | |
