I can safely say in the 40 years I’ve been going our current crop of chants (particularly player-based ones) are at an all time low. Awful.
Was a shame on Saturday once the winner went in the whole ground was ready to join in and the upper went with some chant at 100 mile an hour that no one else knows and sounded crap. Diluted opportunity for a massive buzz atmosphere at the end.

Couldn't agree more. More of Goodbye Horse and less of the unoriginal morden shite

The speed at which VFR is sung might break the sound barrier by 2030

As someone that stands near the back of the North Upper I can confirm, the majority of people around me had absoloutely no idea what the new words to the "follow follow" or the terrible Luke Berry song were at the time, and most just kind of mumbled through the bits they didn't know. TBH I still have no idea what the words are in the follow follow chant are, I did see the Berry one after and wished I hadn't, that needs changing sharpish.
So for anyone not in the north upper I'm not surprised you couldn't work out what the words were, because neither could most of us.
What are the Charlton words to the Allez, Allez, Allez song? Really can't tell from where I am! Help, otherwise I am a chorus girl only.
Every Saturday we follow The boys in red and white And now we got Lee Bowyer We’re f**ing Dynamite Sam Bartram, Jimmy Seed We won the FA Cup I know you won’t believe us But the reds are going up Allez Allez Allez
What is being sung instead of Lee Bowyer ? Nathan Jones doesn’t really fit and on Saturday it came across as just mumbled at that point
Next time someone has one of those charitable-bets that appear on here from time to time, rather than donating the money to The Upbeats, The Museum or whatever other good cause, can they just buy the drummers a metronome please?

"And now that we've got Nathan" sits pretty well but Nathan sounds a bit shit "now that we've got Jonesy" ?

You must be joking - we’ve managed to shoehorn “he fucking hates Millwall” into another chant for one one of our current players, living the dream.

It should just be something generic like ‘The Pride of South East London’ so it doesn’t have to change every manager. And it only really with Lee Bowyer.

At my first Charlton game in 75 the Covered End sang a chant to what sounded like a sorrowful and poignant song, and I was very curious about the story that lay behind. When I found out what the words were it was a bit underwhelming. "Over here, over there and do they smell, like fuckin ell"....
I think football chants have always been basic. We just view them through rose tinted

As suspected, looks like there isn’t a replacement for singing ‘Lee Bowyer’ yet so how about singing ‘twoJones’s…’ ?

In some kind of call and response format.
The drummer simply hits on the first syllable of each line.
(variation suggestions welcome)

"And now that God is willing,
We're fucking dynamite"

Covered End Unreleased version
I hear the sound of distant bums
Over there, over there
And do they smell like fucking hell
Over there, over there
And if they come we will not run
Don't even hear that much these days
That was basically a copy of the Cardiff Emiliano Sala one
