But hes a liar and were not sure about Hull
Course it isn't.
They should stick to rugby anyway

To be fair, something by the Housemartins could work well for Hull.
Love them myself.
Is Jarra Elvis still alive and kicking?
Aha but not sure which incarnation
Nuneaton Youth
Midfield

To be fair to Sheff Utd, they sing the first two phrases of the song, whereas we only sing the first one.

Always thought She Drives me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals as well. Obviously Gift is a Brummie but the band formed in Hull. And the lyrics fit pretty well with being a City fan.
You drive me crazy
But I can't help myself
Edit, Roland grew up in Hull and attended Hymers college from 11. Enough of a connection for it to work anyway.
We know it winds the opposition fans up and it's the last thing they want to hear. It only comes out when we're guaranteed to win as well. The others just look daft when they're doing it back at 1-0 after 10 minutes or whatever.
About as much as any other medium sized northern city
Bollocks. And so is egg chasing
The chavvy league version anyway

I don't think there's anything wrong with starting something new. Not every chant or song has to have historic meaning. We used to run out to the Z cars theme which Everton have kept on. We couldn't go back to it now and claim it.Always thought She Drives me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals as well. Obviously Gift is a Brummie but the band formed in Hull.

The mauled by the tigers thing. I can't speak for others but I don't think the chant is a problem. It's the hand/paws thing that looks a bit daft. Just my opinion.

Think it would lose its wind up value without it tbh. That being said I don't bother
Getting confused with A Maul Shook Up, shirley

By the way. Good luck next season. As long a it's not at our expense, I'm all for shaking the old guard up. Bugger the 'big 6' crack.
It's good for English football not to have the 3 up, 3 down most seasons.
And let's get more Northern

Let's make a deal. We'll have the Elvis version and you can the UB40 version.

I used to go to all home & away games from the mid 70s, first time I heard WMS was away to Leicester late 70s, few lads behind us, about 7 & a bit pissed, started singing it, I'd never heard it sung at a match by anyone before that.

Despite not being a huge fan of the song, I like the Andy Williams version. Just because it's our Wembley version
