good chants

[mattytheshrimper]

would love to hear the old. 'we are the south bank, we the south bank of roots hall' followed by 'we are west/east stand, we are the west/east stand of roots hall. liked this at southampton and various other grounds.

First time I heard that was at the Spurs game last season. Thought it was quite good, but they seemed spend the whole game in an inter-stand rivallry and didn't really aim anything towards us. Don't want any singing to get in the way of baiting the opposing fans now, do we :finger:

I'm loathe to get involved in these threads because they always look ridiculous written down but one of the lads I sit with came up with a good one about Barrett that I've added to slightly:

(Tune: Rehab(?) By Amy Winehouse)
They tried to make him go to Col Ewe, but he said no, no, no.
Yes we went down but he is no clown, no, no, no.
He's Southend through and through
Yes he'll always be a Blue
They tried to make him go to Col Ewe, he said no, no, no.

Yeah!

Used to think that song was pretty good until that game. I cant listen to it anymore without it being a reminder.

How about:

Whats that coming over the hill, is it a ninja.....yes and hes ginga

When I was younger I asked my mum who to support. Southend United or The col ewe scum. She said wash your mouth out son and get your dads gun. We'll shoot the col ewe scum.

I remember something like that from yesterday.

Almost....

The lyrics to that ditty actually go (to the tune of Que Sera Sera - if you've ever heard it)

When I was just a little boy,
I asked my mother, what shall I be,
Shall I be Southend, or Col Ewe scum,
Here's what she said to me:

Wash your mouth out son,
And get your father's gun,
We'll shoot the Col Ewe scum,
Shoot the Col Ewe scum.

We love you Bailey because youve got red hair!

The most original effort on this thread. I quite like it.

And if there's anybody else out there, who scores goals and got ginger hair,
we've got Nicky Bailey, we've got Nicky Bailey.

Im sure we used to have a larger range of songs and chants to sing a few years back but lately it seems to be the same old stuff.

 

[Ricey]

I like the Ritchie Foran one that me and my friend in the South Upper were the only ones singing when he came on.

"Ritchie Ritchie Foran Ritchie Foran Ritchie Ritchie Foran" To the beat of 'There's no limit'.

A bit like the old 'Efe... Efe Sodje....'

The trouble with making up chants is that none of the imaginative ones ever seem to catch on and people stick with ones based around a familiar tune... hence the lack of variety currently being discussed :(

Tell you what I have started to notice going to more away games is that the songs sang away are never sung at home. Support is amazing at away games but just isn't quite as good when we are at home.

Do ya want the ginger kid,

it was pretty random, but the best moment yesterday was when the middle block of the South Upper started singing the Spiderpig song about halfway through the second half... needs to be encouraged, it'd confuse the hell out of the opposing fans..
