We did nick it off celtic but I won't tell anyone if you don't.
That ‘WILDER SAID…’ song

I'm not sure people don't recognise it Viv.
I'm not saying its the best song we've ever sung, but it is unmistakably EG.
Same as the one we ripped off from Arsenal for Super Michael Carrick is clearly a slow Bad Moon Rising.

Yeah, originally a song there for Stuart Armstrong and Brendan Rodgers.
Even down to the fine hair and constant belters.

I had to ask on here what it was a few months back. Was surprised to learn it was Enola Gay and, yes, you can just about detect that once you know.
I’m not a fan of it really though. It would be bizarre to bring back the La Bamba song after Aitor, so I’m happy to leave Enola Gay in the past too.
I didn’t know the Super Michael Carrick song was Bad Moon Rising either, and I think that’s pretty way off in truth. Especially the “Dael Fry at the back, Coburn in attack (or whatever we sing now)” bit. It’s nowt like “I see earthquakes and lightning”.
I think we should stick with this one for him in any case.

Truly awful song, tuneless nonsense and it was made for our former manager.
it also seems to make us play badly.. it seemed to disappear after Wilder left , but reappeared for the play offs ( in which we were poor)… every time it gets sung we turn to garbage.
please stop it, it’s Sh1te

I'm sure that was sung last night?
If we're having a general whinge. Can the drummer please give it a fkking rest every now and then. Oh and the tool with the megaphone can do likewise.

I honestly had no idea what it was until this thread. Or that the Carrick song was Bad Moon Rising tbh.
It just reminds me of Wilder. I don’t think that’s a good thing when I’m watching the current Boro team.
It interests me how we process musical patterns etc., because for me it was fairly clear straight away what the tune was, but obviously to some others that wasn't the case.
I wonder if it's a neurological difference or something - some people get fuzzy matches, others need more precise matching.

I've heard it elsewhere (but with different words obvo). Most recently at Chelmsford City I think.

It gets stuck in my head, I am always humming it the next day.
I like it and wilder was only here 5 minutes so it seems a shame to waste a catchy song.

We’re not the finest team in football the world has ever seen either.
The Geordies didnt go to Rome to see the Pope and he didn’t say ‘who’s that team they call the Boro’ either
Stevie Gibson isn’t actually a king
It’s a song meant to generate atmosphere, and probably be a bit of fun. Don’t take it to heart that it’s not factually correct

1. Yes we are.
2. Yes they did, and the Pope maintains a keen interest in the Boro.
3. Yes he is.
4. Fair point.
Yes but we also all dont drink whiskey and newcastle brown
The song is dog turd and i was glad when jones and crooks were out of the team for selfish reasons as it meant the song was dead in the water even more so when wilder was sacked
Catchy songs is whats down with the kids not classics .. such as who's that team we call the boro (all the geordies went to Rome) and when skies are grey (i did not hear this sang last night from where I was sat)
We had the Sporar song, the Chuba song ... we havent had a song for a midfielder apart from Jones for years. Johnny Howson has been here how long?
What's wrong with go ... go johnny go go go and then add a line or two before johnny be good.

Howson has had a chant for ages to the tune of "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" by Banarama.
"Na na na na, na na na na, hey, hey, hey, Jonny Howson."
