Here's one for you budding linguists and bards. I thought we'd do something fun... So, if you're up for it, get involved!
I was in the UK over the weekend and able to attend the Swans Vs Watford match. During the game I noticed that many of the chants were still about some lower league team most people have never heard of, beginning with "C", I think?
Anyway - it became clear to me that the chants used by the Jacks need a refresh. So, during the many occasions when Watford players simply 'fell down', I started creating my own chants - in my head, of course! I have to say, all the fellow supporters around me loved the new songs and demanded more (again, in my head, of course!!)...
Being from the US where we NEVER seem to chant, unless it's politically motivated abuse or during rioting, and I think we're worse off for it. I love British chanting at teams and opposition fans; they're often very entertaining and funny.
So, I'm starting a campaign for new, original chants. Cheeky, mildly offensive, banter against the opposition supporters and their sisters?... Yes, please! Just, obviously, keep it legal, not likely to get you banned and, most importantly, funny!
Here's my effort (in the tune of The Adams Family theme) - What's yours?
Crawled from your mom's vagina,
Gave the doctor an angina,
The nurses screamed in terror,
Your inbred family tree.
Your looks cause childhood trauma,
Two a*seholes, three eyes on ya,
You play like you've got hernia *
It's [ENTER TEAM] City!
Duh, duh, duh, duh
* Could be substituted for 'Look like a walking hernia'
(Yes! It's my first post here! Sorry!
