Dambuster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 1 hour ago, Tamworthram said: Maybe that's when it originated but, it doesn't matter what it was or wasn't meant to be sung along to are you confident that the crowd, or at least a good proportion of it, wouldn't break into "we all clucking hate Leeds"? Not what I want to hear every week when OUR team run out. Don't bring it back. Maybe it’s too much to ask for some of today’s fans to respect of tradition of our club using it, me I’d play it loud and drown em out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea but it would have to be so loud it would make our ears bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Wednesday originated everything - probably even Bloomer's Watching ?♂️ Seriously though, if not Bloomer's then Dambusters is the one I think of the most. And I don't even mind the "we hate Leeds/Reds" lyrics. I'm all for tradition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Bloor Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I think Reg Matthews Cap might have misremembered the antiquity of the March. I was a regular in the Boys Enclosure (admission 9 pennies) in the late Fifties and early Sixties and the song on the loudspeaker was an awful scratchy number sung by someone (pre-War) with an impossibly plummy voice. The chorus went something like: 'Here's to the County/Cheers to the County/Let's hear the Derby Roar/The people are a-cheerin'/A-shoutin' and a-cheerin'/'When Derby COUNTY SCORE.' It was dreadful. Brought up on Elvis & The Beatles, the Boys Enclosure couldn't stand it. We all joined in the chorus and sang the last line painfully flat. And then collapsed with laughter - the joke that keep on giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrswood Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 'She's a River' by Simple Minds - Jim Smith's first season. Can't believe it's not had a mention yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_ram Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure the year exactly, early on at pride park, but we had ‘one vision’ by queen. Was an edited version that had the opening bars play for an eternity, with the guitar finally kicking in when the teams came out. Only vividly remember it ‘cos the intro rang for so long with the sort of ominous “ohhh ummm” on loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember the version you mention and am not suggesting anything like that, my point was that it shouldn’t have words, I’ve mentioned before that if the Dam Busters is used it should be one of the more rousing versions. l’m with IslandExile on this let’s keep with tradition.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Bump to add I think both the MC Hammer classic "Can't touch this" and the Clash "I fought the Law" would be suitable for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbados Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 U2 - where the streets have no name used it during the John Gregory era, remember it well as it was my first ever Derby game against Blackburn. We won 2-1 and Ravanelli scored a filthy free kick. was right behind the goal, lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
