Joeheadland Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hi everyone, I hope this okay to post here, moderators please move or delete if you need to. I’m part of a team at the University of Sheffield, led by Dr Chris Stride. We've published a number of academic papers and magazine articles relating to football history, on subjects such as statues and replica shirts (see, for example sportingstatues.com, and https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17460263.2019.1578255). Our current project is investigating the music that football teams have run or walked out of the tunnel to over the years. We are looking for the music that Derby have run out to, for as many seasons in the past as you can recall. We are simply interested in the title of the song, the artist who recorded it, and for which seasons Derby ran out to this. Any help you can give us to piece together the different songs that your club has run out to would be hugely appreciated. If you have any personal anecdotes around the reasons for the songs being used, or the changes between them, that would also be fantastic. I should also add that we are not interested in goal music, or a song that is played at the final whistle, but just the song that is on the tannoy system as the players enter the field. If you think someone else may be able to help, or you have any questions, please let us know! We would be very happy to discuss the project. Cheers Joe Headland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Joe Headland Good to see student loans are still being used to fund time spent on worthwhile research. I’m sure the world will be a better place once Dr Stride’s paper is published.

Dordogne-Ram Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Check Wikipedia for "The Dam Busters March" for details of the music, although it is largely recognised as an instrumental as opposed to a song. Used by Derby for many years from shortly after it was written by Eric Coates in 1955 - others may be able to be more precise on dates. Derby County adopted the music as the "our" tune due to the connection with the flying training carried out in Derbyshire's Upper Derwent valley over the Howden and, particularly, Derwent reservoirs, the latter being most suitable for the planned attack on the Eder, Mohne and Sorpe dams in Germany's Ruhr industrial heartland (Wikipedia also cites Lincoln City as a user of the same music - one you may wish to follow up.) Since the move of the club to Pride Park in the mid-1990's, "Steve Bloomers Watching" was used until recently as the entry anthem - I am sure younger DCFC supporters will be able to provide more detail.

FindernRam Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Please tell me this a spare time project and not part of a "serious" degree/doctorship. I cannot conceive of any useful purpose to this "research". Do we actually "run" out to any music these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I remember when I got a grant from Derbyshire County Council to pee up the wall for 3 years when I was at University in Birmingham, happy days. Oh did you ask a question ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The only one that stands out in my memory was the 1995/96 season which was We Will Rock You by Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is the one I can remember. I also recall we had a chance to vote on what the song would be. The “Ram Page” programme had a shortlist that included this and Eye of the Tiger and a few others. I’m sure someone on here has that issue to hand (mine’s in my parents’ attic)!

cosmic Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Recently wasn’t it that weird Killers / Guns and Roses mashup that everyone on here loved and then hated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK-Ram Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I seem to remember white riot by the clash around 2004/2005 being used. We also had the air raid siren and two tribes for a season didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it's utterly crap. @Joeheadland, the current one is some sort of siren-sounding ear screecher. I can't help you as to the name I'm afraid.
