I don't know who decides when and why to sink a thread but I'm not finished on this because I've had a great idea.
I do think that we need to be more imaginative with our songs, and hopefully more witty.
Do away with the obvious.
Keep it simple.
And short.
I do think that a ZZ Top song for ZZ would be apt. It's an amusing idea in itself, isn't it. Just singing 'Gimme all your lovin' with it's original words would be bizarre and original, and most importantly not difficult to sing.
However I do have new words that match the tune (and which are similar to the famous Jorge Costa song):
Zheng Zhi comes from China
But he is not very small
Zheng Zhi comes from China
And he really hates The 'Wall
Now you may like or not like this particular song but I have a proposition to make. We have a fantastic medium here in this forum and the technology to post music and even record our voices. We could make songs and post a recording of them. We could then vote for a son of the week or song of the month. If all Charlton Lifers then promised to sing the winning song we could make The Valley the best, most original ground for songs.
What do you all think?
Finally, talking of Songs, isn't our Song the second Song to play in The Premiership. Maybe we should sing Song 2 by Blur (just joking).

Zing, Zing and Song scoring goals having fun. (as in sing, sing a song)
We've only got One Song
and the only people who call millwall - 'the wall' are millwall wannabees.

I think that's definately a winner for Song. It's ironic, and easy to sing. What do you think of the ZZ one Large?
Using the Forum for collaborative song writing is exactly what it's here for. Individual MP3 solos though, I don't know ;-)

But there isn't a Millwall in China, is there? The only people who use the word 'wannabee' are sunk in 90's pop music.

Ok, thanks for the explanation but I'm not sure it's fair. A discussion will only go to the top again if people are discussing it so therefore it's interesting to some people. Why should even The Valley Gold debate be sunk if it's still being debated. Obviously something still needs to be resolved if the debate is ongoing. I might say that many of the discussions that aren't sunk don't interest me and many other people. Who decides and how?
he gave the ref a shiner
you'll get one too
he does kung fu

can we lose the fixation with the costa song.
my token effort:
zheng zhi comes from china

Doesn't really fit in with the music from 'Gimme All Your Lovin' though.
In my eyes, threads that start becoming a debate / disagreement between just a couple of people only should be sunk, as should threads that i / others don't think are particularly representative of what we would like this site to be about. Those that wish to are perfectly able to carry on the debate with themselves, yet it is not flashing to the top of the board for others to see or appearing as the hot topic.
Some may see it as 'moderation meddling', but you have to call a line somewhere and some of the time you're going to get it wrong in some people's eyes, i fully accept that.
But its not done with no more intention other than trying to shape the site to how we would like it to be, which is a good place for Charlton people to talk Charlton and all other random things, without nastiness, confrontation or debates disintegrating.
As said, we'll get it wrong sometimes, but its with honest intentions.
he kicks harder than Bruce lee,
and hell kick your f**kin head in if you disagree,
if you kick him back we'll get a penalty!
Hmmmm - fitting two syllables into a three syllable tune is tricky though. How about singing 'Amazheng Zhi'?
Carlsberg, you're a violent lass!
You don't look violent. You look like you're on a catwalk.
1) the tune's got to be easy for a bunch of pissed blokes to carry
2) the words have to be easy for a bunch of pissed blokes to make out on first hearing
If you try to be too clever, then no-one will join in, or they'll get halfway through the song and realise they can't reach the high notes.
Of the songs I've seen mentioned over the last couple of days, the main ones that stood out were the "Old Matt Holland had a farm" and the "We've only got one Song". Let's build up our repertoire of simple songs and get everyone singing them, before we start trying complicated multiverse epics and obscure tunes.
Don't forget, jimmymelrose is Scottish.

Yes we're staying up, and isn't it a pity,
We sent down the Paa-lace, now we're sending down Man City
