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...

It just takes the Derby DJ to start playing it pre match I suppose! Great shout there though

Years ago on the popside we sang " by the light of the silvery moon " and "home on the range" for no particular reason, but they both sounded good with a few thousand blasting it out.

Yes " By the light of the silvery moon " was our song and sung on the popside in the 70's . Not sure when it fell out of favour/

Can also remember when the Heanor lads used to chant "Heanor , Heanor " and the popside would respond "Sharples , Sharples " ( You would have to have watched 70's Coronation St to get that ?).

I was gong to suggest Silvery Moon as I used to love singing that at the game.

By the light (by the light) (by the light)

Of the silvery Moon (silvery Moon) (silvery Moon)

I agree these things can rarely be forced. But I've wondered, as the Rams, if we should sing The Housemartins' "Sheep we're up against". And when McClaren was manager I was appalled we didn't adopt Rihanna's "Umbrella" (it's got such a great chorus). 

But then Rams fan Niall Horan has written a song called Black and White which he surely wrote hoping we'd sing it at games. Chorus is OK (with some simple adaptations):

Yeah, I see us in black and white
Crystal clear on a star lit night
In all your gorgeous colors
I promise that I'll love you for the rest of my life
See you standing in your dress
Swear in front of all our friends
There'll never be another
I promise that I'll love you for the rest of my life
