The Liquidator

[Smartie]

I have often wondered whether the chant:

Clap
Clap
Clap clap clap
Clap clap clap clap
Sunlun’ (or which ever club you support)

… originates from Chelsea fans clapping and singing along to the Liqidator during the 70s? If you speed up the claps the pattern matches - sort of.

well this is different

West Brom I think you'll find.

West Brom I think you'll find.

I’ll ask my Baggies supporting mate.

 

[Ark]

Should hear them sing that down the clap clinic.

Surely the first two claps should have been on the same line ?

Smartie has been on the magic smarties

This is one of the most riveting posts ever on the SMB. Who cares...

 

[Salem-Hillbilly]

My favourite is 'Feck Off West Brom' part
Sung Fortissimo of course

 

[Fact Hunt]

Wolves played that back in the 1970s

Who the fookin fook is the liquidator?

West Brom I think you'll find.

What exactly do the baggies fans sing to it?

Naaaah, it's from the 1966 hit by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch - Hold Tight.

I remember a Rolf Harris show with an ear worm to that rhythm

“Rolf’s here,
What d’you say,
Ready to go?
OK!”

Can’t remember the decade
Or show though- 70s or 80s

Depends if we are playing Viler or doghead dingles...

 

[columbo70]

Not as good as the Seagulls chant....not many words to learn either

Seagulls Seagulls Seagulls Seagulls Seagulls

Only ever heard yous sing 'fuck off wanderers' when you played us. Many moons ago now though. Wolves did similar. Really got the crowds going.

Possibly taken from the song “let’s Go” by the Routers ( 1961 ) or they might have created the song from the chant. How old is the chant ?

So basically just copying what Villa sang in the 70s

West Brom being as unoriginal as ever.
