Uncle Ern Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 East-Ender is currently compiling a catalogue of songs both old and new. The song list is going to be test-driven on the Sheffield trip by "The Yellow Submarine"crew.As per usual the songs will be neither politically correct nor complementary to the opposition.We are hoping he will make the list available for general circulation. Choir practice will commence at the back of the East end on saturday. "Well..What D'ya Know " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 A bit politically incorrect on this forum, considering the banning of cider head's zider boot animation, but what about.... 'I was born under a wandering star, me boots are made for kicking' etc Sung in the East End circa 1971 - but I can't remember all the words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Mosquito Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 ######sake cant make city game on saturday hopefully going to sheepfield so ill learn them songs then. 'I was born under a wandering star' was a top ten hit circa 1970 when I was just 5 years old - it's actually a really good cowboy type song. I'm hoping that Elvis Dolman and Co will sing it on Saturday so I can re learn the words Up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavlin Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Here are so old east end songs molly malone, In Bristols fair City where the girls are so pretty i first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone as she wheeled her wheel barrow through streets broad and narrow singing (crowd start clapping in rythm and finish chanting CITY) (sung early 70s) I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty little bubbles in the air, they fly so high, like west ham they fade and die, Chelsea are always running, rovers running too, we are the East End Boot boys running after you. (sung in the early 7os) Hymn-onward Christian soldiers Onward BristolCity marching as to war with the cross of Atyeo going on before Dicks the Royal master, lead against the foe, Forward into battle see the City Go. (sung around 1968) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 As i was walking down Stapleton Road, Singing, singing, City are the Champions, Saw Don Megson lying there, IO, IO I said to him What's up my friend?

Port Said Red Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 What about John Galley, Superstar! How many goals has he scored so far? 21 or 22 how many more will he score for you? Could change it to Lee Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Laughed when I heard the Bow Legged Chicken song in the East End the last few games, also the 'Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankley' version. I remember hearing them in the school playground but never before at Ashton Gate (I'm not THAT old). Another that made me laugh was 'Over there, over there and don't they smell? Like ###### hell!'. How sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how so many people sing the same songs but can't get the words right. On that site it's got: IO IO we are the City boys, We are full of City. And a City fan sent that in? That's laughably embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderEagle Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Nostalgic for what? Ahhh, violence isn't what it used to be!! Yeah, I know what you mean but the older I get, the more I forget about how horrible it actually could be to go to a footy match in those days. As to Wanderin' Star, the version I knew growing up in Sarf London went: "I was born under a Palace star I was born under a Palace star Boots are made for bovver, bovver in the 'ead We'll all go dahn to Chelsea and we'll kick 'em till they're dead I was born under a Palace star A Crystal Palace star" Its not big and its not clever but for our generation I guess its just like 70-somethings remembering the good old days of the Blitz!

Mr Mosquito Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 It was sung by 'Lee Marvin' and was from the film / musical 'Paint Your Wagon' 1969 No.1 - Lee Marvin - Wand'rin' Star - Feb 1970 Well remembered Dorset Cider Lee Marvin was a great actor around the time of Marlon Brando when they starred together in that 1950's motorcycle movie - was it the 'wild ones' or something? Where Brando nicks a speedway trophy and ends up getting battered by the one and only Lee Marvin Up the City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malaggro Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 To the tune of "Home on the range" Home, Home or away The Park End of Ashton they say "If you give us a goal, then we'll give you our souls and we'll be on Match of the Day" Plenty more to be aired tomorrow by the Yellow Submarine Crew. See you tomorrow fellas Cheers Mal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Remember promotion against Doncaster in 1990's I can't remember the year but clearly remember Walshy down to jock strap after crowd stripped him. That game was made memorable by the crowd singing along to 'Give it up' by KC and ther Sunshine band: 'City's going up' great memories and I still get a spine tingle when I hear that song even now. Lets hope they play it at AG this May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnder Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Hello one and all I've now got 80 songs listed, thanks to the renditions of Elvis, Malagro, Midlandred, Bill, Grayer, Neil, Si, John of Weston and the rest of the Yellow Submarine crew. The real test will come on the submarine this Sat when we go to Sheepfield and there are a few lined up for our Norhtern friends, like: On your Northern farms, On your Northern farms, You pester the lambs when you hide in the grass, You'd rather ###### sheep with a ram up you ###### On your Northern farms Can also be sang to our welsh friends It's not all nostalgia though, as we're trying to get a few new renditions going like: "Bring me sunshine" - this one could be the next celebration after we score. Can you imagine 500 East Enders doing the dance too! Also on the cards is a "new one" for Tins to the tune of I love you baby You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off you You're left foot has a heavenly touch You wanna score so much And when kick off time comes round You hear that East End sound Your'e just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off you the the the the the the the the the the the the the daaaaaaaaaaa We love you Tinamn You've only got one foot We love you Timan You score with your left foot We love you Tinaman Trust in me when I say Keep watching this space or listen to your local travelling Yellow Submarine (nostalgia is everything) Those were the days my friend We took the Stretford End We took the Tote - The Northbank, Highbury We fought with all our might We fought in red and white Those were the days Oh yes those were the days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
