Chuck Norris Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Always strikes me when we're forced to attend Dens Park, how they give the appearance of having history and tradition, just by playing a couple of their own songs before the game! Hearts are the same with their 'Glorious Hearts' stuff (the OF don't count in this respect, most of their repertoire is nicked from elsewhere). I know that the Dundee songs (particularly 'Eh'm a Dee til I deh' etc) represent the last bastion of unrefined minkdom and are truly horrific at times - but at least they have some, which aren't simply new words on top of an old tune. Any thoughts folks? Do we have any composers in the house? Is there a song which is genuinely about Perth that would fit the bill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUZZ Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 the 'top of the league and yer no' song was pretty poor yesterday during the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintkev Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 There are piping songs about Perth... but no lyrics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Not so sure - I always find those songs a bit cringeworthy. The one they play at Queen of the South, for example, sounds like it's a B-Side by "The Oneders" from That Thing You Do. Unless you can get a song that's genuinely of a decent standard (and I'm yet to hear one being played by any club), I think it's the sort of thing that should be avoided. Particularly if you happen to be Celtic and your songs sound like they're being sung by the world's oldest man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 There is a song about Kinnoull Hill called "The Hill o' Kinnoull". The chorus goes "The bonnie hill o kinnoull where the birds sing so sweet in the morning, tae the people o Perth there's nae mountain on earth tae compare wie the hill o kinnoull." It's quite a good tune too. I'm sure we could spice up the lyrics a bit. I think the Alexander Brothers or Kenneth McKellar recorded it in the 60s. Maybe Kevin could look into it and stick it on sometime. There are bound to be other songs about Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never get that bloody "Hearts Hearts glorious Hearts" song out of my head after a visit to Tynecastle, especially the updated one with the Emerson, Lake and Palmer style beat.

Saintkev Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 The other catchy tune is the Killie one... and have to admit to walking along humming "Queen Of The South" the other day after watching them beat Saints Under 14's 3-1!

Chuck Norris Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I can never get that bloody "Hearts Hearts glorious Hearts" song out of my head after a visit to Tynecastle That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. I couldn't care less that Dundee still play the Wurzels - and never have done (let's face it, the tractor stuff is as old as the hills) but I've got that bloody "Dee til I deh" rubbish in my head now. We should be having visitors to McD leaving with similar thoughts. Maybe a remix of "Bonnie Wee Jeannie McColl" in memory of Jean Rattray?

john1962 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Maybe a remix of "Bonnie Wee Jeannie McColl" in memory of Jean Rattray? Or even in tribute to Paul Cherry who started singing it in the dressing room before the Morton cup game to relieve the tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazel1884 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 On a totally non related incident we were out for our Sunday Social catch up this morning (as you do!) and we went up with our pal to put flowers on her grans grave. I tripped over Jean Rattray's grave. It really is a poor effort, and i was gutted no to see some white lightning near it # Can't think of any songs with Perth in it.

dunblanemike Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 not sure that I like the idea of a song for the team but could we not adapt the 'you are my sunshine' song for Paul Sheerin (in the style of Solskjaer at Man U)?

Surely "We're Off to See The Wizard" would be more appropriate - because because because because becaaaaauuuuse, because of the wonderful things he does.

208saint Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 "Hail hail the saints are here" has always worked in the past, it's also a song we sing regularly and we cannot therefore be accused of deliberately winding them up. If we start singing songs of a "party" nature we are even worse than they are to my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Particularly if you happen to be Celtic and your songs sound like they're being sung by the world's oldest man. Yeah that guy who's song is on the loud speakers at Celtic Park every week is funny. He sounds as if he's had a nose job done on him and his nasal passages are blocked hence his singing like he's got the shakes after deep sea diving. You can do it for yerself as follows but remember to hold your nose and extend the last vowel in each word ... here goes; Foiiiiiiiiiirr eeeeeeeets ahhhh graaaoooooonnnnnnnd oillllld teammmmm to playyyy foirrr, Foiiiiiiiiiirr eeeeeeeets ahhhh graaaoooooonnnnnnnd oillllld teammmmm to seeeeeee. Oind if you knowwwwww their heeeeeeestory etc. I still believe that poor wee man was born with two noses. Although I consider myself British (Scottish first) Me, Slf and Ricky seemed to upset the Rangers fans in the "208" one night when we and a few others sang: "We don't fly no English flag do-dah do-dah, We don't fly no English flag do-dah do-dah Dey!" .... then we all started jumping up and down like the scene out of Blazing Saddles and .... "do-dah do-dah Dey do-dah do-dah Dey We don't fly no English flag do-dah do-dah Dey" .... and then one guy got up to attack us and the other Rangers fans jumped on him in order to prevent a full clash. The old firm fans are officially the easiest fans in the world to wind up because of their mind sets. I'm sure we'll think of many things before the game.
