Old music at the Valley

Sorry for the random thread

Was just talking to a mate regarding music played at the Valley years ago. There was a song that went something like "when the robin songs, there's no time for..."

Can't remember the lyrics and havent heard it in years, can anyone help? Basically the other Robin song apart from the obvious Red, Red Robin

Cheers in advance for any help, random I know!

    So when Saturday comes
    There's no time for glums
    There's no time for losers at all
    And when the Robins sing
    It's a happening thing
    There's no time to take your eye off the ball

    My earliest memory of the valley is Billy Joel uptown girl being played, 83ish, that song now still reminds me of Kevin dickinson kicking the ball out the tunnel as the teams come out.
    7 at the time.

    Much as I like Squeeze, those lyrics are absolutely terrible. Definitely bought the CD in the queue for play off final tickets on a sunny Sunday in May '98. Why?

    I thought this was going to be a thread about the music they used to play before the games such as the Premier League games with "Were Gonna Win" by Bryan Adams followed by Robbie Williams "Let Me Entertain You".

    Neither would be very relevant in 2016.

    That Bryan Adams song was terrible

    For us clubbers, used to like it when @DanDavis used to smash out a bit of Insanity. Some bloke in the NEQ used to bring out the moves every half time to this

    I remember when this was played shortly before kick off for every game without fail.

    I'm 99% certain this was around the time that Kevin Nolan once ended one of his match reports in the mercury with a plea for the pre-match music to be canned, on the basis that it was "about as trendy as a bald blokes ponytail".

    I vaguely remember the first time it was a yes, and the DJ was so excited about it. I'd got the album with the song on... I was a member of Britannia music club and had forgotten to say I didn't want their "recommended" album.
    I suspect the same happened to the DJ..
    Trying to convince himself he hadn't stuffed up.

    Didn't @3Blokes have something played. Not the "we sing much louder than you" the B side of Valley Floyd Road but something else?

    Back in those days the playlist consisted of:
    Bryan Adams - We're Gonna Win
    Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You
    Republica - Ready To Go

    As bad as things are at the moment they could be worse.

    '72-'73, the theme tune for Van de Valk.
    On the rare occasion I hear it now, I could weep at the nostalgia it evokes in me.

    Wasn't it brought out for the '98 playoff final ?

    In hindsight it was a terrible, terrible song.

    That's right I brought it...will have to play it latter...a reminder of better times.

    That DJ was me and I bloody loved the Brian Adams We're gonna win song, and we did bloody win, so we kept on playing it!

    So there!!!

    And once I did play Al Martino's Spanish eyes in honour of the late great Dick Neve.

    The Star Wars theme was played as the teams came out for Simonsen's debut. Cheesy but somehow in keeping with the nonsense of it all.

    Great great times, no matter whose in charge, the feeling in that era, for every matchday will never be replicated.

    Crikey, that must have been 50 years ago.


    Bob Stokoe was the manager and Eddie Firmani up front.

    late 90's, early Millennium, just trying to cheer ourselves up given the glum at the minute! Happy memories of the place around this time, first serious interest in football given my age.
