I think its an ace song, even if a tad harsh.

I heard they sung about Davis, so pot kettle and all that

No, Spence don't start this again

It's just if Pox were singing aboutg Jimmy Davis you'd be fucking livid

Probably


Title: who's that wrapped around the lampost
Post by: Spencer_White on Monday, November 14, 2005, 21:50:17
Yeah I would. I loved little Jimmy Davis.

But I hope Oxford get livid when we sing it. I dont sing it cos Im sick, we sing it to wind them up.

Plus it sticks two fingers up to all the hypocrites who say we shouldnt sing it. Which makes me laugh. Il sing whatever I want!

And its a good tune.

Why am I a hypocrite for saying you shouldn't sing it?  I've never joined in.

I used to work with someone who was friends with Martin Aldridge and as such think it is beyond wrong.  There's much better ways to wind Oxford fans up mate.

Sort of. The 'your shit' and 'so are you' banter doesnt cut much ice. MA draws outrage and perhaps rightly so.

Like I said, its a sick song.

To be honest what it really does is remind me of the Town End 02-03 time. It used to below out in a drunken haze. So unpolitically correct and totally distasteful. Just to say, we are a bit loopy over here.

I like the song/miss the tune. I tried to think up some better Stfc lyrics for it before but failed.

Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, November 14, 2005, 22:30:50
It's a fantastic tune, no doubt, but revelling in his death is not on (I know it's not really doing that but to an outsider...).  It is sick as you say.

We should have a 'new lyrics' thread for it.  If we could come up with some new words to fit the tune it could become an STFC favbourite.

I'll get thinking.

How about;

Who's that standing in the Town End,
Who's that cheering on the Town,
We're fucking mental and we're great,
The scum from Oxford that we hate,
Surrender all because their shiter than Gold Blend

Smashing Hibees in the sand
Beside the seaside, beside the sea!

I think sometimes you need to use discretion on what you might see in the County, Dave.

You'll figure it out. Remmember Its not always wise to always pass judgement on what goes on.  :shock:

Talk about the Merlin as much as you want.

Edinburgh, poor effort. Id rather sing the Scottish 1978 world cup version.  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Classic! Kubilas scored a great goal as Peru drew 1-1 with the Jocks in that tourney as well. And who can forget Archie Gemmils goal against the Dutch!

They take the piss out of England in that song as well 'Cos England Didnae Qualify' or summat like that!

For your benefit Dave....

Much like the rule of tour - What goes on in the CGH stays in the CGH.

The Merlin however is for general consumption.

Yes Spencer?

I've never been in the CGH, think I'll make a trip for before the Barnsley game.

 Sweaties drew with Iran.....but lost to Peru....who had the wonderful Teofilio Cubilas.

 Shame that Peru took the dollar and threw the game v the Bargeandcheatians.

Post by: strooood on Monday, November 14, 2005, 23:57:03
the sentiments of the song is completely ridiculous, thats what makes it singable

plus the fact like SW said, it does nothing but stick two fingers up to everything
it seems to unite the singerso it even more than other songs because they know how many people like DMR turn their noses at it.

but yeah, shouldnt really sing about a dead chap

Well I only heard it in the CGH. So in effect you were commenting on CGH affairs.  :winking: Did the TE sing it then?

the best chant i've heard to that tune was at wycombe when we won 3-0 on 2004

whose that snorting on the touchline
whose that drinking in the bar
it's tony adams and his mate
and he looks a fucking state
he used to drive a motor now he can't

 :D

Too true. What a tune that was. We only sung it all game!  :soapy tit wank:

I remmember tuning in to 6-0-6 that evening and some Wycombe soccer mum was on there almost balling her eyes out about it. 'Why wont they give him a chance!'  :cry:  she kept balling. Fuckin ell love its only a joke!  :|


Funny and true!  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

running 40 yards to my left and 20 rows forward to mob parkin  8)

Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 18:26:48
It was the 4-1 FA Cup loss when we sung it loads though.

Revenge was sweet. But the best ever away day at Wycombe will always be the 2-3. I ran on the pitch and got chucked out, then walked up the exit gates to watch the final goal.  :soapy tit wank:

Jimmy D scored in the first half and Parkin in 79 and 90+.
