Songs that remind you of a specific match
|
|
Are there any songs that every time you hear them take you right back to a specific game? Excluding the ones they play every time we win, of course!
I don't know why this particular one stuck with me but Culture Club's Karma Chameleon was playing when we were playing Bury in the away leg of the League Cup tie from 1983/84. We played pretty well to win 2-1 at Gigg Lane but obviously went on a proper rampage in the home game!
Can't believe how long ago it was either...

March 1984 Ipswich 0 West Ham 3.
ICF fighting in the car park right on kick off then the best rendition of Johnny Lyall's claret & blue army I have ever heard which just about went on for the whole 90 mins.
Used the back of the stand as a drum and our whole end had it sorted with one half singing every other line, then all singing together.
Fucking brilliant.

Jona Lewie - Stop the Cavalry
Some game (probably Derby having checked) around Christmas, 1980 in the West Side
It got played before the match and some bloke just kept on singing it randomly throughout the game.
Always makes me think of standing on the West Side when I hear it.

Some great replies so far.
Re chants, I remember a game in the last season at the Boleyn (was it Palace?) when ‘we’ve got Payet’ got going in the area below the BML and just got louder and louder until it was bouncing down there and the beers were flying around too - gave me goosebumps.
We’ve also had quite a variety of halftime entertainment down through the years. I particularly remember Bonnie Tyler in the Allardyce era. We were definitely holding out for a hero back then!
