Major Isewater Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I think the songs kind of police themselves, certain bits of songs I've not sang in the past but join in with the body of the song, like I said it's opinion and choice. On the whole football songs tend to be a bit near the edge, that's the nature of them. Simple and with a bit of humour works best. I don't think anyone really thinks that Aden Flint is having a drugs party, it's so unlikely that it gets sung about for some reason. If the song is well recieved it will stay around for a while, if not it will fade naturally like many others have done in the past. Sounds like the bits that contain the drugs/alcohol references are being dropped anyway. One of the best chants from the old, old Eastend was the 'you're gonna ride in a Bristol Ambulance' which could be now seen as threatening violence, but back then it was just a humorous chant, well on the whole it was! Edit: and if any kids aren't aware of the dangers of drugs and alcohol by now where have they been? I'm sure the kids people are concerned about have far more knowledge about this stuff than I did as a kid, and I managed to grow up just fine (in my opinion) anyway. Who could forget the gentle melodies of "hit him on the ead, Hit him on the ead with a baseball bat " ? Or the meandering "You 're going in the river" The wistful "you're gonna get your f. Ucking head kicked in" Ah ,fond memories of a simpler time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't sing those songs either. But - again - not fussed if others do. Takes all sorts. Same here but it doesn't bother me that others do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Your attempt had too many syllables though. I bet you're fuming that our song is "Drink Up Thy Cider" as some of the bad men may sing the words about beating up Rovers fans...... As I have said its not that I dont like it because its offensive, I don't like it because its just a very shit and embarrassing song! I think whoever came up with it must literally have been on coke at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leroyfromthestart Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 What is this world coming to, the guys and gals in block e are just trying to add a bit of support to the team and have a laugh with it! It doesn't offend me and it's not as if those singing it are condoning it, why are people so obsessed with being over the top when it comes to PC! Next thing you'll be suggesting will be to change the following lyrics to something more non PC! Darrell Clarkes mother is a HORSE! Lighten up people and enjoy yourselves!

WTFiGO!?! Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I wonder what professional athlete Aden Flint thinks of his song? If people wanna sing it, it's just a bit of fun, like all football songs, as Red M and Dolly have said. Why I don't is the "vodka and charlie" bit which sounds rather "Jeremy Kyle". Might as well sing about "going down the sosh" or "having a stand-up row with your missus outside your house". I change the line to "bring a bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild 82" of course, although it's tough to make that scan. ;-)Wimbledon sing: We drink champaign, we snort cocain, we've got wombles in out lives You've got shit jobs, you shag your dogs and your wife is on the game Plus two or three other verses re fararies, Bacardi and Readers wives. Far classier As for me, I would never actually say to my Dad **** off, bollox, you're a****. Unless he ever told me to be a R*vers fan, which he has pain stakenly pointed out over the years was never going to be allowed to happen. 1-0 him. Were I a proper rebel, I would now be a gas head. I digress. It's the constant foul language I feel more sensitive about, ironically. Wouldn't take my niece and nephew in the wrong stand for them.

Drugs are bad, mmmmkay. You obviously mean those "other" drugs.... the "untaxed ones".... although one of the highly taxed ones is pretty much banned from everywhere including all football stadia anyway...regardless of roof on a stand or not.......... And it is perfectly Ok to go out and cause as much trouble to our Police & Hospitals as you like while imbibing the other taxed drugs.........

Kid in the Riot Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Booze is alright I spose. Interesting. So the one that causes far more deaths, burden on the healthcare system, violence, tears families apart is the "cool" one? The other one used by everyone from Mick Jagger to Winston Churchill is not cool and a bit "sad"? You must be one cool cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I feel the way to settle this once and for all would be a new song for Aden Flint. To appease the hypocrites no mention of banned substances but alcohol is fine; to appease the druggys to the tune of White Rabbit - Jefferson Aeroplane.

You sophisticate, you! Maybe from the posh seats, they should be blasting out 'oh Blasso!, oh Blasso!' in honour of Adriano The non-football debate here is that alcohol is far and away the biggest drug related issue the country has. Yet City's anthem is "Drink up thy Zider , drink up thy Zider, for tonight we'll merry be. We'll all go down the R*vers, to do the bastards over, there's still more Zider in the jug". 'Irony' has become a much over used and misunderstood word but applies here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 'You're going home in a Bristol Ambulance', was the later, and very much toned down version of, 'You're going to get your ******* heads kicked in' RedM. I'm afraid neither was a humourous chant at all, that was in the 70's and it most certainly WAS threatening violence. I'm well aware of the heads kicked in chant too. 70's is a bit before my time, by the time I was in the Eastend on the whole it was more of a chant which was said but not acted on in the way it once was. And now I never hear it at all. How football evolves, as heard in a terrace song I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
