Tainted Love (Nathan Burns?)

Been thinking about a Nathan Burns chant based on Soft Cell's "Tainted Love". Although I prefer the Living End version because it's more upbeat and fun I reckon:

Only working on a chorus so far:

You won't have a clue

He will destroy you

Our Nathan Burns is coming

We'll give you a warning now

He scores goals and that's not nearly all

Nathan Burns (Oooh)

Nathan Burns

Really I just think Tainted Love would make a great chant because it's the sort of song that just gets stuck in your head going round and round, and Burnsy's name fits into the chorus nicely.

I think this is an awesome idea! We could potentially get away with just a few of us learning all the words, and leading it into the "Nathan Burns woooah" part, which could then just repeat so everyone can join in.

Yeah, actually just thinking about it - you could just lead in with the "he scores goals and that's not nearly all" line, you don't really need more than that

A few people banging on the seat in front of them twice after the "woooah" would work well too. Let's give it a run at the Hutt.

Great idea.

I like the Living End version, but perhaps the Soft Cell version is more chantable?


The chorus only is worth pursuing, but I think the longer version with the *Clap clap* parts has the makings of a great chant...

Perhaps:

Sometimes I feel - he's gonna *clap clap*

Run away - he's gonna *clap clap*

Get away

From your defence, then drive into the heart of goal!

For 'Nix we cheer

We have got no fear

Glory's in our sight

Now I toss and turn - I can't sleep at night!

You won't have a clue

He will destroy you

Our Nathan Burns is coming

We'll give you all a warning no-ow:

He scores goals and that's not nearly all!

Nathan Burns (Woooh-Oooh-oooh)

Nathan Burns (Woooh-Oooh-oooh)

Nathan Burns (Woooh-Oooh-oooh)

Nathan Burns (Woooh-Oooh-oooh)

Burnsie baby, Nathan Burns

Burnsie baby, Nathan Burns

Nice, bwtcf, I like it.

On a slightly unrelated note, how fudgeing creepy is that Soft Cell video? Damn, 80s, you scary.

Yep, very disturbing that one.

I really, really, really hated Tainted Love and Soft Cell.
