Title: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:16:23 Almost as good as when Reading had their players model their new kit while pretending to be homosexuals. This time they get a song wrote for them by their owner's wife. And it's going to be played over the PA at the next game. She's got talent. http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/reading-fc-co-chairwoman-khunying-9853236 Coming back to this, because the video for the song is now up on youtube. It's so bad, this almost deserves its own thread. Our season may be stuttering - and we may not have had the success Reading have had recently, or the new ground. But we can all be thankful until our dying days that we're not associated with this. Enjoy. (If you can bear to watch.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rp3toJ9cAQ Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Nemo on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:19:38 That is everything I wanted it to be and more.
Edit: OH MY GOD I JUST GOT TO THE RAP BIT. 2:30. JUST GO THERE AND LISTEN.

Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:24:55 It's awfulness cannot be overstated. I'm actually now wondering if the whole thing is an elaborate piss-take.
Please, everyone, watch this. It will make you feel better about yourself. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Bewster on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:36:29 I like it.
I wish we had one............ Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: 4D on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:41:23 We don't need one, we have banners. :P
Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:43:22 That is soooooooo fucking good. It's like really shit euro-pop.
On a side note, I would. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:47:39 The best thing about this is that I know a Reading fan. I can't wait till I see him at the pub again.

Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Costanza on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 12:58:43 That Reading thing is quintessentially German. Sort of shit you hear in bars around Bundesliga grounds.
It almost seems weird that it's in English. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 13:02:13 The best thing about this is that I know a Reading fan. I can't wait till I see him at the pub again. The inspiration for the song - and the lyrics - come from Thailand. Are you warming to it yet? Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 13:07:31 The inspiration for the song - and the lyrics - come from Thailand. Are you warming to it yet? I noticed that a Thai brand was involved. I love it. It's genius. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Red Frog on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 13:12:21 That is hilarious. I love this comment:

It's like a cross between Eurovision and something from Lazytown. My life is complete. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: pauld on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 13:28:29 "With our might, we'll defend
The Glory of Rea-hea-ddiiinnnggg" Superb. Genius. Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: 4D on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 13:35:53 "Rivals"? ??? :sherlock: ???

I am disgusted that Billie Piper never did something like this for us!

Kramer anyone? Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 15:33:18 Oh my fucking God. I just burst out laughing at the train station. It's like a cross between Eurovision and something from Lazytown. My life is complete. I believe from the lyrics its only men who are allowed to fight and sing for the glory of Reading anyway! Title: Re: trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good Post by: Ells on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 15:43:42 I believe from the lyrics its only men who are allowed to fight and sing for the glory of Reading anyway! What about the Thai woman singing? Oh.. I see.. Title: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: tans on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 16:32:06 TINPOT

http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=39164.msg1351316#msg1351316 But it's that good, it needed its own thread anyway. One the best arguments against foreign ownership of English football clubs that you'll ever see. Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Barry Scott on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 16:56:11 It is very worthy of it's own thread, so I've merged. Sadly tans has lost the first post, but he keeps his subject.
God this song is cunty. Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Summerof69 on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:02:48 That is soooooooo fucking good. It's like really shit euro-pop. On a side note, I would. This. The 'rap' is fooking awful. Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: FormerlyPlymRed on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:03:12 What the fuuck is that haha
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: JayBox325 on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:04:41 Reading FC should probably just voluntarily go into liquidation now.
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: EldeneRed on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:21:16 Wow! What a way to ruin a football club's image. She sung it over the PA? :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Boy About Town on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:25:42 Thats as bad as that Jays political flag
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 17:53:40 This is the best thing I've watched in ages. Keeps making me smile!
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: BruceChatwin on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 18:16:14 Some of their fans seem to genuinely like it.
Quote "Well having heard a few real dogs of football related "pop songs" over the years, I have to say that's not too shabby, not too shabby at all!" "The rap is godawful. But I like the chorus, 'Can you hear, when we shoooout Come On! Like the Kings of our land, they call us the Royals. Let us sing, every man, we stand by the Royaaals.' That is class." "Sorry I actually like it and while there is a certain amount of cringeness brought on by the fact it's the corporate arm of the club doing it, at least it shows they care enough to do something that will increase the GLOBAL brand" Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Saxondale on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 18:21:16 Reading have a global brand? Jesus. Everything thats wrong with football on one sentence.
Title: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Batch on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 18:24:59 hahahahahaaaa.
the man who does the coffee van that stops at work is Reading, he cringed at the very mention of this song.. Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: deltaincline on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 18:51:09 Oh. My. Fucking. Cunty. God.
Just sat through that (thanks Tans...) and very nearly threw up my dinner, lunch and breakfast. If Reading have a global brand, they must have Diamandis heading up their marketing department and he's managed to persuade their far eastern owners that having an ace, corporate video like that will mean a huge increase in sales of replica shirts. Anyone know if Dunwoody Goal International supply the plastics with kits? Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Flashheart on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 19:26:17 I just watched it again because of the fit bird.
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 19:42:43 That has to be the campest rap ever recorded. Can they get the cast from Glee to record a cover please?
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Bob's Orange on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 19:47:36 It's better than most of the shit in the charts to be fair (probably)
Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: pauld on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 20:57:00 Some of their fans seem to genuinely like it. Yes but some of their fans also seem to genuinely like Reading. So they're just wrong.Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Super Lou Macari on Thursday, October 1, 2015, 10:18:23 Should have been sung by Yazz and the plastic population (of the Madejski Stadium).

You never hear a more measured 'we could give it a good crack in the Championship, but the Premier League is unrealistic' variety.
It's all about maximum cheese. Title: Re: Funky tune by Reading FC Post by: Costanza on Thursday, October 1, 2015, 15:58:48 ...and then there's the other side of the spectrum....
