Favourite eL chant/song

Don't think there was any previous threads like this in the past while, so my apologies if there was.

Reading the briallant Songs that you sing thread (which shamefully was taken down as a sticky) I thought "Hey, I wonder what are peoples favorite chant/song?". PLEASE refrain from posting only a song from your club.

Mines is definately this beauty which I got great pleasure hearing from the few hundred Rovers fans who travelled up to Ballybofey twice this season (and have left cursing :D )


"WHY DO YOU build me up,
Build me up, build me up,
Buttercup baby, just to let me down
let me down, and mess me around-and then Worst of all,
Worst of all, you never come baby, when you Say you will, Say you will,
But I love you still, I need you-I need you, more than anyone darlin', Know that I have from the staarrt,
Ooooohhhhh Build me Up Build me Up, Buttercup, Don't break my heaarrrt.

Class when sung, especially if they all pitch in. Definately the best song in the league IMO, that I've heard anyway. Called Buttercup, made by The Foundations btw. I've had some fun with Rovers fans at the last match as well:

When we were driving home (after our 3-0 win) we spotted a group of Rovers fans looking dejected and we put on Build me Up Buttercup at full-blast, chroist it was funny!

:D

Best song at Harps:

We're on the One Road
Singing the One Song
On the road to God knows where

We're on the One Road
Singing the One Song
We're together now who cares?

Northmen, Southmen Comrades All
Soon they'll be no Derry fans at all
We're on the One Road.....Singing Along
SINGING THE FINN HAAAAAARPS SONG!

although I've never heard it with the versus.

You guys, favourites? :ball:

There was an entire massive thread - it was stickied for months and quoted in the national newspapers! :)

Edit - here it is.

Yeah, I know that, I even posted in it a few times. But this is peoples favourite chant, not wans that they sing. Also, what newspapers were they qouted in?

Favourite songs of us Sligo fans can be found herehttp://foot.ie/showthread.php?t=29728

you are a culchie, a smelly culchie
you're only happy on market day
your ground's a cow shed
your fans are inbred
you're a sheep sh*gger from ballybofey

my favourite

The funniest song i heard was a couple of weeks ago in St.Mels against Athlone. They went 2-0 up so they decided to sing.There song was the great escape used by the england fans:D

Who were they playing?the Galway fans????

Red4eva, think you will find that you have stolen that song word for word from City. Get your own songs, get your own songs....

It's slagging us off but I've always thought Derry's 'We don't care if the Harps go down, we'll be dancing round and round, we are the super Derry City' is a brilliant song.

It's also pretty amazing when the shed in Cork all sit down casue they love City!

My favourite sound from opposition fans, all too rare unfortunately is the stunned silence when we score actually against someone!

This one would be a favourite for me.

To tune of Adams Family
Your grandad is your brother
your sister is your mother
your shagging one another
your a Longford family

Brilliant Battery Rover.....although I think some supporters sign that one about ye instead of Longford.

I see the Brandywell arising,
I see the treble on the way,
dont go out tonight, unless your red or white,
I see the treble on the way !:D

Really like that... but I kinda wonder - like a lot of the unbearably witty UCD ones - if its ever been actually sung? or if you just think it would be a good idea if it was?

Its sung 3 or 4 times at each game now.....we are close to a treble but in reality its still a dream. Enjoy it while it lasts kind of thing.

Brian Kerr is a w@nker
He weras a w@nkers hat
When Jayo went to Poland
He didn't fancy that
He played the English b@stard
But Clinton couldn't score
He's just a Pats knacker
Fcuk off to Inchicore

You are a Junkie
A thieving Junkie
You're only happy
On labour day
Your ma's out stealing
Your da's drug dealing
Please dont take my hubcaps away
