ATYES6 Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I spotted on the bottom of Dez Gimred's sig that he has a revised Tinman song-I thought it was quality.Ive changed it around a bit and hopefully with the help of some forumites we can get it going next season at the gate.Here goes........ Tinman is the Gaffer, He wears a red and white Hat, He manages Bristol City, And he is a very nice chap. Hes better than Danny Wilson, He'll take us to the top, and deja vu in 3 years time when we win at the kop! Ohhhhhhhhhhh...... Sorry if a thread like this has already been started!!! What does everyone think?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 5, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 It's good but like so many before it, I'll be amazed if the new version makes a successful transition from the forum to the stands. People will hear the tune and sing the old one anyway. The only change that can realistically be made is changing "He plays for Bristol City" to "he's Bristol City's gaffer". The reset of the song doesn't really need changing anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman's still aiming to play next year, so nothings changed really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmerD Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 If we're going to start chants with french phrases in them, we'd better be careful when we go to Hartlepool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATYES6 Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Good in a poetic way (deja vu etc.) but a bit complicated. If the limit of football chants is ole,ole,ole,ole,Bristol City......then I take your point about it being a bit to complecated but surely its not that tricky is it?!!

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 It's a fairly long 'song', rather than a chant, without the oomph factor to make it catchy. It hasn't got the rude words or the anti-gas sentiments to catch on with the kids. I thought the original was rubbish but it caught on, and i'll sing along now so you never know, but most of the successful long-standing chants are short, snappy (2 or 3 lines), and allow the participants to get away with shouting things they wouldn't be allowed to get away with on their own. As i say it's quite a clever ditty, just not in my opinion a football chant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
