Just caught the wee cheeky bit about Scotland at the end there Grim,no very funny,haha,i didny know Cannon and Ball had a fitbaw song out.

[WaffenThinMint]

1. Macc Lads - "(Don't Fear) The Sweeper"

Doesn't sound like that Blue Oyster Cult song, BTW. Hilarious piss take about the realities of being a Macclesfield Town football fan.

2. Spitting Image - "Sick As A Moon".

Brilliant parody World Cup song. "Good game, Saint - At the end of the day - It's a game of 90 minutes & we're only half way - The boy played well - You never can tell - Football's the winner and the ref's okay - We're up for the cup so we're over the moon - Sick as parrots by the end of June"



3. Slade - "Give Us A Goal"

When on the decline, they went for the football fanbase, and it's enjoyed some popularity since then. Brighton & Hove Albion sort of adopted it as the video had been shot at their old Goldstone ground

4. Half Man Half Biscuit - "Friday Night And The Gates Are Low (And It's Raining)"

Same spirit as the Macc Lads song, done in 1995, a year after the deadline of the Taylor Report had passed and football was never quite the same again, it's a resigned little ditty regarding the wholesale changes the game had undergone - "I can't stand anymore, 'cos I can't stand anymore!"

Talking of C n B here's a classic, it's not the original unfortunately (I can't find it) but if you sing "Oldham" instead of England you'll be back at Boundary Park!




I got stood on by a police horse back in the early 80's waiting to get in the City end at Oldham, mind I was pished (luckily) & maybe a little bit loud?

If you have an enclosed stadium you can't beat The Bongo Song.

Really gets you in the mood about 30-40 seconds in when the bongo bit at the start ends.

I was on my phone so I hastily copied the address.

Here's two of the ones I mentioned (nil out of ten for my English there, but never mind!).

Spitting Image : "Sick As A Moon"



Half Man Half Biscuit : "Friday Night And The Gates Are Low (And It's Raining)"



Considering Grim's age group, am amazed he's never heard of the Slade one, as it used to be a regular "Pop Shop" feature - "Pop Shop" being a single music video filler ITV used in the afternoons after the News At One and the start of children's TV shows at 4pm whenever they didn't have enough adverts and using public information films all the time would be a bit too obvious.
