EraniosSocks Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Someone should get on to the DJ though, @DarkFruitsRam7 suggestion of “Crying your heart out” is brilliant. I still Think from the person who posted that album from when we was champions some of them songs would bring a more “Derby” feel, rather than a mix of some chart hits RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already is and English folk song called The Derby Ram. It’s all about exaggeration. Perhaps some words could be altered to reflect the modern era. Just a couple of versus to add the this ditty… The Derby Ram As I was going to Derby to upon a Saturday I was off to see the Mighty Rams on a Derby Day. Yes indeed sir it’s true sir I never was one for lying Craig got 3 Jeff got 1 and Johnny left the Red Dogs crying As I was leaving Derby upon a Saturday I was going to see The Ten Men Rams beat Forest 2-1 away. Yes indeed sir it’s true sir I never was one for lying If’d you’d have been to Forest you’d of seen the Red Dogs crying.

Can be done over and over and has lasted quite a while on occasions. It’s easy enough to sing to. A modern day We Are Derby chant. It must be about 20 years old now though. Persevere with it. It’s alright at away games but it’s not inspiring. You can’t really belt it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lots of suggestions but it has to be something everyone knows, or at least a big majority. Very few suggestions meet that criteria. Only @sage really come close so far. My only question is how you convert But- ter- cup to Der-by- ? @DarkFruitsRam7 is the one you're suggesting the Lampard Leeds song? If so, I would be against for that reason. Need something timeless that is about us, not the opposition. sage, AbuDerbyDave, 48 hours and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I guess Johnny Russell’s Heartbeat came from another club ? … buts it’s adaptable for Derby as a team..

Although the sentiment of the title is good for our long-suffering fans, any song with "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" in the lyrics is asking for trouble, imo!

LeedsCityRam Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Always thought Dirty Old Town by the Pogues would be a great anthem Cracking song & could be sung just as it is but would be even better if words were changed for us to make it truly ours..what we are as a club & what we've been through. My scratch effort; I met my love at the Baseball Ground Lost my head in the Popside sound And that Ram still makes me feel proud Dirty old town, Dirty old town 11 points, save your pity Still hate Juve for 73 But that Ram still makes me feel proud Dirty old town, Dirty old town Cloughie's boys in 72 Dave Mackay, Cox & Smith too They were Rams, just like me & you Dirty old town, Dirty old town Edited August 25, 2021 by LeedsCityRam uttoxram75, DarkFruitsRam7, NG2Ram and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Closer by Nine inch nails? or Mouth for War by Pantera? Maybe Seek and Destroy by Matallica?

Yeah, you got a point but a tune is a tune… There’s something about certain ones .. Go West fits with so many things and it can be repeated over and over, Lloyd George knew my Father, que sera sera etc etc .. it’s those that get grounds really rocking because even the quiet ones can join in. … Sunderland had Day Dream Believer for a time .. with “Cheer up Peter Reid” Up Beat .. Beach Boys kind of optimism / good times vibe. .. Sounds old fashioned but the melodies are still here 50 years on for a reason DarkFruitsRam7 and 48 hours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
