Day Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The song Steve Bloomer's Watchin' has been the official club anthem of Derby County Football Club since Boxing Day 1997, where the finished version of the song was played for the first time before the league game against Newcastle United. Derby won the game 1-0. The original version of the song was first played before the Manchester United home game in October of that same season. The idea for the song began in November 1996 when two Derby County supporters Mark Tewson and Martyn Miller heard an old Australian rules football song entitled "Up There Cazaly" which was composed by Mike Brady, in 1979, for an Australian TV show. Within days of first hearing the Australian song, the two Derby fans had rewritten the lyrics of the song. A friend and musician Stephen Halsten-Reid re-vamped the musical composition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bloomer%27s_Watchin%27 -------------------------------------------------------------- No originality these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirigible Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Typical Derby. So get your thinking-cap on and come up with something original, Mr Administrator - that is, if you are capable of doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 It is embarrassing that we don't have an official club anthem/chant that is unique. Even Leeds have 'Marching on Together'. It's out 127th year we should be coming up with something original by now. Maybe record a version of Savage's cringeworthy car singing. Just add drums, an acoustic and backing vocals.
