Title: Before I forget... Post by: wigglesworth on Monday, April 29, 2013, 16:51:50 Has anyone noticed how that 'oxford fan on a piece of string' song has changed tune slightly this season? :hmmm:
Does my NUT in every time I hear it being butchered in the Town end. My mate has noticed it too, he stands elsewhere in the TE so I'm not going mad, but it seems that the vocal minority have got their tunes mixed up and history is being re written. I would put it on a par with people who think loose and lose are interchangeable, and people who SAY lol. ie Fucking horrific. :( Title: Re: Before I forget... Post by: Peter Gibbons on Monday, April 29, 2013, 17:53:22 On the subject of chants, what on earth is the one that consists mostly of "doo-doo-dooing" (rather than actual lyrics)?
Before anyone says it, I am aware that I am an absolute cretin/idiot for not knowing - regrettably I only get to the odd game each season so you will have to excuse my ignorance. I think I am referring to this one: For the record that 'and that's the way we like it, like it, like it' chant is fucking shite and very cringeworthy given that non league sides have been singing it before us Title: Re: Before I forget...

That drives me mad as well. It reminds me of League 2, and in particular Barnet who seemed to sing nothing else.

Unless we have a game against Oxford coming up, I don't know why we even still sing about them? Back the Town instead of singing about some team up the road! Title: Re: Before I forget...

I don't understand why we sing about Oxford all the time either. It just encourages them. It's a bit like giving that annoying, smelly kid at school attention. He just comes back for more.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JVhbusBDi4) Recorded earlier by Petula Clark in the early 60s. Fuck knows how it found its way into football but it would definitely be nice if it fucked right off again. Title: Re: Before I forget...

Title: Re: Before I forget... Post by: 4D on Monday, April 29, 2013, 21:30:27 I always enjoy the spontaneous and humorous chant, normally started by the town end :nod:
Usually against Brighton, Gillingham etc. Title: Re: Before I forget... Post by: Shaw Rosso on Monday, April 29, 2013, 21:40:03 The original -
When I was a little bitty boy my grandmother bought me a cute little toy Silver bells hangin' on a string she told me it was my ding a ling My ding a ling, my ding a ling I want to play with my ding a ling My ding a ling, my ding a ling I want to play with my ding a ling The new version of it is generally started by sixth formers.

It has been a real favourite at Celtic but they got it from St Pauli. Title: Re: Before I forget... Post by: skay on Monday, April 29, 2013, 23:50:00 Yeah St Pauli were the founders of this chant.
