What Ketters Said
As for the incest song Norwich Fan i work with could not see why our lot make so much fuss about it, said it was all good harmless banter and we should chill out a bit

Haha I'm not quite asking for that but I just wish our supporters could be more imaginative and come up with some better stuff, not saying I have anything better but I don't like these songs because:
The Incest Song - Overkill doesn't even begin to describe what our supporters have done to this song, admittedly I used to love it and think it was funny when we did it occassionally, but doing it EVERY single week to EVERY single team is just ridiculous and its gotten to the point where I now just look in resentment of anyone I see singing it.
Goodbye Horse - I really don't care about a policeman falling off his horse a 100 years ago(and yes I know its not a literal 100 years but it might as well be) I think theres much more meaningful things we could chant about that the team have achieved on the pitch like the 98 playoff final or winning division 1 or hell even the FA Cup final than some copper taking a tumble.
Oh South London - Not only would I feel uncomfortable singing the song as I sit next to and go with my dad every week but if you break the song down: 1. South London isn't wonderful, its a shithole 2. The 'tits and fanny' of South London isnt that great 3. I'm sure that the majority of the people that sing this song arnt getting any of the said 'tits and fanny'.
i think the drummer is a must for an all seater stadium. Don't like the 'stand up if you love....' it's a bit - tried to find a more PC word for it, but quite frankly it's a bit 'gay'.
Incest song would be banter if we only used it now and again. I think what annoys me most about it is that it gets more people to join in than any other song bar Valley Floyd Road.
In answer to the question, I don't have any big problem with the songs that we sing, but would prefer if we gave them all fairly equal attention, instead of the endless CAFC
[cite]Posted By: harveys gardener[/cite]The Incest song might be amusing if sung to say, East Anglians who have a rep forthat sort of thing, but looses its effect when sung to anyone.
I thinks it works on an ironic level when sung to fans from other London clubs, if that is how it is meant.
I may be in a minority of 1, but I can't stand Mull of Kintyre and therefore don't like Valley Floyd Road! Over the years I suppose I have softened to it, but I do so wish another tune had been picked.
MoK is up there with the Frog Song as two of the worst songs written by Macca IMHO. Is IMHO banned on this site BTW? Oh, come to that, is BTW?

How about a song about Bermondsey/Croyden instead 'It smells of Shit' and 'it's full of Guns, muggers and knife crime'?
Don't mind the oh South London one tbh, but the Incest song has had it's day imho.
The repertoire needs a general overhaul - we need some songs about some of our players and a few choruses of 'Phil Parkinson's red and White Army' wouldn't go amis either imo.
The incest song week in week out just shows how lacking in creativity we are. We sing to every club, every week.
If you can't work out when its relevant and when its not then best not to sign it at all.
I'm not a massive fans of Oh South Love. A) Because lets face it South London as a location isn't actually wonderful (just look at how many fans actually live in Charlton). And B there are not a load of dismembered Tits and fannies walking around the place.

You may be right and maybe it needs time for people to get used to not waiting for the drum but in the short term it kills the atmosphere when it's not there as the drum unites the singing - otherwise you get a load of different songs going on at once. Don't see the drum as the problem - just need a bit more imagination amongst those who start off the singing in that area. Not a dig as the effort is good.
Oh South London is ok until it gets to the part about women. I have heard extra verses at Millwall that make this very offensive.Maybe we could create a new verse for it.
I'm also glad Christian Dailly has got his song back ( you could say it is a cover version of the old Wham version ).
As has been said by many already, the incest song is only inappropriate for singing at the likes of Ipswich, Norwich etc. To sing it every week at anyone and everyone is tedious and shows a complete lack of imagination and, for that matter, a very poor understanding of regional stereotypes.
If you must spend the entire game taking the p!ss out of the oppo, which I don't have any particular problem with, at least show a little creativity.
Is your tractor parked outside?
Is that all you take away?
In your Liverpool/Birmingham slums
Atmosphere at The Valley is woeful these days, and has been ever since they rebuilt the Covered End. Back in the good old days we used to have a different song or chant for pretty much every player. Things have got so poor now that I believe the Bailey song about letting him have a ride on your wife has now been transferred to another player.

1. Don't particularly like chanting about tits and fanny infront of my dad
2. I'll give you some parts of Greenwich and of course The Valley as being nice places, other than that it is a pure shithole

Shouldn't this be in the rumours thread?
