We need something more sophisticated.....

Thin and pale and young and sporty, the boy from dcfc goes walking

And when he passes, each one he passes goes - aah

When he walks, he's like ssewankambo, he swings so cool and sways so gentle

And when he passes, each one he passes goes - aah

Okay so we can go one of two ways.

 

It's either "We Are Never Getting Back Together".

 

We are never ever ever, gonna sell Will ever

We are never ever ever, gonna sell Will ever

Talk to Brendan, talk to Arsene, talk to Schteve

But we are never ever ever, gonna sell Hughes ever.

 

But the advantage her song '22' has is that you barely need to change any of the original lyrics. So it's a bit easier for the kids like. Works especially well in midweek games in January:

 

(Bridge)

Yeah,

We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time

It's miserable and magical

Oh yeah,

Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadline

It's time.

 

(Chorus)

Uh oh!

We want to keep Will Hughes

Til he's at least 22

Everything will be alright

If we keep hold of Will Hughes

We don't know about Steve

Bet he wants to keep him too

Everything will be alright,

We'll just keep dancing like we're keeping Hughes

Will Hughes, ooh-ooh.

 

Have some of that, oldies who complain that modern music isn't conducive to making football chants. If Taylor Swift was around in the 70s, you'd be screaming her tunes from the Popside until your voice caved in.

 

For those asking "Duracell, what about One Direction?" you don't need to worry, I've got some ideas for that too.

You said you'd reveal your song if the demand was there.

There was literally not one demand. Nobody. Not even a query

When I need Hughes, I just close my eyes and I see Hughes

 

based on...er... was it Leo Sayer - When I need you. I think.

-----------------------------------------------

 

If we want to be really cruel, we good usurp the F*rest-claimed "you lost that loving feeling" and bastardize it to be something like "Hughes got that lovely dribbling.."

 

------------------------------------------------

 

Basically anything with 'You' in the main chorus will do.

 

Elvis - the wonder of you.. Surely Ramnut could work something with that. (That's the wonder... the wonder of Hughes)

This or

William, William he is

Really something

(obviously to The Smiths)

BRILLIANT!!!!! Slight change...

"William, William Hughes is really something!!!"

....and repeat

Bang on! But might be a bit too cool and unheard of by the masses :-( in fact if we took to to singing this song, it would be the coolest chant at any club, anywhere, ever.
