When I was just a little boy was one of the first songs I learnt in 3D along with Old Faithful back in the 70's...how old and classic do you want to get??

oh oh what a referee... oh, hang on - that's outmoded and unwelcome as well...

he says as patronisingly as possible

It's a classic for a derby game, it's obsession in other games. IMO

would rather listen to anti kr songs all day then listen to away fans sing

Well I'm proud of the fact that I chose FC as a child and will continue to celebrate that fact until the day I die and if that includes singing what some people see as an anti KR song instead of a pro FC song then so be it.

There's several thousand fans who'll help me along the way, not that I'd need them if it came to it!!!

you never need help with singing karen

Bet Hutchie agrees with that too!!!!!

I don't see the problem with a chorus or two of that song, to be fair. It's only the same as the almighty cheer that went up at full time when their score against the Pies was announced.

Except neither they nor their fans are "scum", they're just our arch rivals.

I agree, it 'sometimes' is sung a little too often for most people, the same as 'come on you Hull'

Variation is the key.

Good heavens! Aren't we over-reacting just a little? I don't think anyone who sings the song interprets it literally. If they did, there'd be a huge number of Rovers fans falling victim to gun crime.

On that note, I don't imagine they've been to Rome to see the Pope, either.

I think you'll find it's usually B flat...

hem hem...

Me? Over-react? Wanna fight over it?

Okay, maybe just a little

Indeed...people need to chill out and realise it's really not that bad!!!

We could always alter the words a little:

"Wash your mouth out son,
And go get a chocolate bun,
And take it to a Rovers fan who is in no way scum to show that, although we are rivals, we can still be friends,
Wouldn't that be fun?"

You see, just by applying a little thought and some consideration to your common-man you have come up with a truly wonderful rendition that I think we can all be proud of.. I for one, will be leading a rousing chorus of said masterpiece... altogether now...

"and go get a chocolate bun..."

The vast majority are not...however

Hmmmmm... I think I saw what you did there...

The third line might need a little work before it's fit for public performance. Not sure it's quite as catchy as I would like.

If you get a good run up at it, it works.

i was saying that last night about "THAT SONG", it really annoys me because at saints every one was on song, i watched it back on sky and the noise from the hull end was amazing. Why cant we generate that kind of atmosphere at home

I sit in the east stand unreserved section and obviously have a few beers, I chant whatever i can and if its not "THAT SONG" people look at me as though ive got 9 eyes..."SHIRLEY CUT YOUR HAIR, SHIRLEY SHIRLEY CUT YOUR HAIR"..."CRACK POT CRACK POT CRACK POT" to waturia... Even the old classic, "BRISCOE/BERRO/LONGY GIVE US A WAVE"...Its as if people are afraid to join in... "THAT SONG" "COME ON YOU ULL" twice and and 1 poxing verse of old faithful is not good enough in my opinion

Completely agree, I don't mind once a game, either at the beginning or end but during the match it just seems stupid!

At one point it seemed as though all the Hull fans were all singing it at the same time and it sounded unbelievable.

Any singing is better than none at all IMO
