I don't know, woah-oh, why does love do this to me...

Three for me, and two for them.

Do you reckon West Ham supporters would have chosen Blowing Bubbles as their song by popular vote?
[/QUOTE] Thought you needed to know this

"I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was introduced to the club by former manager Charlie Paynter in the late twenties. A player, Billy J. "Bubbles" Murray who played for the local Park School had an almost uncanny resemblance to the boy in the famous "Bubbles" painting by Millais used in a Pears soap commercial of the time. Headmaster Cornelius Beal began singing the tune "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" with amended lyrics when Park players played well.[3]

Beal was a friend of Paynter, while Murray was a West Ham trialist and played football at schoolboy level with a number of West Ham players such as Jim Barrett. Through this contrivance of association the club's fans took it upon themselves to begin singing the popular music hall tune before home games, sometimes reinforced by the presence of a house band requested to play the refrain by Charlie Paynter.[3]


 
Yep, have read this (or something like it) before.
It's exactly my point. Songs / chants etc. happen because of stories like this, and then they either stick or they don't. They don't take off because they're necessarily the greatest song, or because someone plays them over the PA 20 times before kickoff.

Hey, in the mid-80s that would have been a hot fantasy for many red blooded Kiwi ladies. And a few guys.

 
No it wasn't. Not ever.


The Jam has it right.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

WTF?


I thought it was 'Jackie Chan' for the longest time as well

Footballers have sh*t taste in music - FACT.

Don't worry about it. God had brains, taste in music, football skills etc to hand out but because he wanted to spread it around he decided "OK, footballers will just have to have sh*t taste in music then". It's like a side-effect of being a good footballer.

.
It was the lyrics to "War" that he was trying to sing on Rush Hour. Not "Why does love do this to me" or "The Longest Time"

Debatable.

Clint Dempsey (aka Deuce) may disagree with you.
