sage Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) The Chip Eaters have Delilah, Palace have 'Glad all over' and even the Gumps have 'Mull of Kintyre' It would be great to have our own song. iT would have to be well known, easy to sing and have no one else in the UK singing it. Maybe the odd word could be changed to relate it to Derby Thoughts? Edited August 25, 2021 by sage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Someone posted a few songs from a album that was produced when we was Champions. A few of them would be much better than “Steve Bloomers Watching” The song and the crowd being a few seconds behind just makes the song feel a bit, meh?

Agreed, it's too long and there isn't a clear enough tune/tempo. EraniosSocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Stoke adopt Delilah when someone was shouting to their friend Tom Jones further ahead in the crowd, for instance? LazloW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first verse of Build me up Buttercup could work well, with 'Derby' replacing Buttercup, bay and darlin. There is an American Football team that sing it, so proves it works and far enough away to make it ours. If you had asked me 4 weeks ago, I would have suggested Tainted Love.

Just needs to be singable by a large crowd, a few lines and chorus. I'm still jealous of Ajax and Three Little Birds (supposedly played by the dj at Cardiff after a game when they were kept in). ?

"I still can't believe the phenomenon over singing Delilah," he told the Sentinel in 2009. "It all began at an away game in Derby (in April 1987) where we were all in a pub and the police asked us not to sing a song with swear words on. So we put Delilah on the jukebox, and I got up on a table and started singing it. We sang it in the ground and it just went from there." "Claims", mind.

Hi Ho is great but it's too generic. I agree with @sage, it would be great to have a song that instantly makes you think of Derby. I actually get this a bit whenever I hear Stop Crying Your Heart Out, but it never became an anthem for us. Steve Bloomer's Watching has always been meh. Tbf, it probably just requires one fan with a massive set of balls to randomly start singing a well-known song. It would soon catch on if they timed it right. Now, if only there was a big game that we could win this weekend...

Shaftesbury st Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 What about Elvis Presley’s - can’t help falling in love with you. Very apt at the minute for those that still sticking it out: Verse 1] Wise men say only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay? Would it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you? [Chorus] Like a river flows Surely to the sea Darling, so it goes Some things are meant to be [Verse 2] Take my hand, take my whole life, too For I can't help falling in love with you DarkFruitsRam7, cstand, Grimbeard and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
