Shrimping all over the world - wikipedia

"The song is now a Southend United anthem after they began singing "Shrimping All Over the World" after the 2004 Football League Trophy final"

I don't remember this... although I know Wikipedia is incredibly unreliable.

Anyway, we don't have an 'anthem' as such and I wonder how good this did sound or indeed would sounds under the North Bank roof?

 

[MK Shrimper]

First I've heard.

Still, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I la la la like it....

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

News to me and thank god......think it sounds a bit s**t.

 

[NZamba Legend]

They've got this wrong. The Southend terrace anthem for years has been "I'm Free" by The Soup Dragons although the words are:

Don't be afraid of Keith Dublin! Keith Dublin!
I'm Free, to do what I want, any old time
I said I'm free, to see the Blues, any old time
(I say) We Love Mark Bentley, We love Mark Bentley
'Cos I'm free to do what I want, Johnny Neilson.
And I'm free to think about about Andy Rammell, to slag off Stephen Hammell--any old time,
(but) We Love Mark Bentley, We love Mark Bentley
'Cos I'm free

There's also a cool Southend version of Bob's Yer Uncle, renamed 'Rob's Yer Uncle' (about Rob Newman). Not sung so much these days but was massive around 97.

They (The tannoy system) played 'Rocking all over the world' after the players paraded the play off final trophy, sadly no adapted version :'(

 

[TrueBlue]

NO NO No!!!

It's a Leyton Orient song !!!!!! They play it after they win

 

[LennySUFC]

We need a song though, like Liverpool has "you'll never walk alone"..

 

[Smiffy]

Anything has to be better than the "Hey baby" goal music. My god, that is utterly embarrassing.

Scott, sort it.

 

[Uncle Leo]

NO NO No!!!

It's a Leyton Orient song !!!!!! They play it after they win

So, what, three times a year?

Song needs to be unique - how about setting Alison Moyet a challenge - a song for the terraces doubling as a chart seller ?

Doesn't have to be football related - Delilah worked well. How about Cecilia. Simon and Garfunkel? My Girl Madness !!!!!

[Napster]

I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles to see Tes Bramble score
Lala lalalalalala

You may have a point on this one looking at the other lyrics, they seem to run true. PS would like it too.

When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you


When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you.

So what's wrong with.....
"Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside,
I do like to be beside the sea,
With a bucket and a spade,
And a f***ing hand grenade,
Beside the seaside,
Beside the sea"
