Mull of Kintyre on the other hand is a durge. Errr it's the lyrics that make it joyous! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every thread like this ends up as a competition to suggest the most hip song to underline their impeccable music taste even though half the people in the stadium will never have heard of it. Or an opportunity to crack smart arse jokes about Derby. Pffft! To get a snapshot on current despondency/optimism/uncertainty we could offer a choice between hopelessly devoted to you - making your mind up - let it go ?

Ramism Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Actually wasn’t living on a prayer I was thinking of it was it’s my life by Bon jovi easy to change it’s my life to it’s/ they’re our rams or something like that some of that song is quite apt for us at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The only music I associate Derby with would be Flanagan and Allen's Underneath the Arches, then there's the beautiful Elizabethan Serenade by Derby composer Ronald Binge that could have lyrics added. That's it regarding relevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it just occurred to me the line: 'if I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor' does ring eerily true - especially at the moment!

And the manager can be interchangeable.

Football songs are at their best when they’re about hope and/or misery, not “everyone is frightened of the Derby pride” (which, evidently, they’re not). It’s why songs about thirty years of hurt, or how football causes love (of football) to have the world in motion resonate best. I quite like SBW, but I’d love a proper anthem, and I like Stop Crying Your Heart Out as it’s a) sentimental but anthemic b) has a good chorus c) nothing directly to do with football and d) has a link to us already.

A song idea copied from Leeds who are, although we may have turned it back around on them for all of about a week, the team who had the last laugh and finished last season 9th in the Premier League and being admired for their approach to football, while we were avoiding relegation to League One on the final day. Could it get any more tinpot? That and it's part of the 90's / early 00's Britpop nostalgia wankfest that's plagued the country (especially football fans) ever since, from a band the media are still somehow obsessed with despite not even being a band since 2009, with their constituent members producing nothing but a stream of very average & unremarkable, stuck in the same era music in the meantime.

It was a great moment in time quickly overtaken by a poor final and an inept season on and off the field. Loved it when we did it but will forever be associated with that season and what might have been. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
