Everton have a great history of singing, we've been singing songs at Goodison since at least the 1920s.
Liverpool are only recognisedfor it because they're End Stand is a better design for atmosphere
they sing, and they sing loud in unison, gobshites the lot of them but thats one thing i envy them of, i wish we made noise like them...we chant ancient chants, they churn out song after song and sing it.
In big games they sing. Other than that Anfield is one of the quietest grounds in the Prem. Goodison's louder and that's saying something.

its not just songs, i want us to go all fenerbache and panathinaikos. and how about that human lcd [Poor language removed] goin'on. by the looks of it so far there should be about 5 of us prepared to give it a go.
i reckon we should get bill to do something at a night game, we can tell him we wanna go all theatrical like. blue lasers, smoke and close harmony singing, oh and blue and yellow light sticks , turn off the floodlights and get it goin' on.
just imagine the teams comin' out to johnny todd with all that [Poor language removed] happening.
You only have to read threads like this to see that Everton fans can come up with their own good songs. The problem is getting them started at the match.
Most people only sing at the match when everyone else does. The question then is how do you get the songs started off and to spread around the ground quickly and loudly to entice more fans into joining in with them.
Starting off the songs and joining in with them before they're loud takes bottle, and is a far easier to do when everyone around you is standing up. If you can get people into the singing to congregate ie go behind the goal lower Gwladys St, and stand up then you'll get more singing and those fans will be far more likely to start off their own songs and generally sing more.
If you can combine this with the singers being directly under a roof to help the songs spread quickly and loudly then there's more opportunity to entice more fans into joining in with them and more often.
So much of it is down to stadium design. Unfortunately Liverpool's kop is designed perfectly for this. They don't have louder voices than us, their songs aren't anything special they just got lucky with a properly designed End Stand.
i sit right behind the goal in lower gwladys and occasionally when some1 tries to start a song of they get laughed at, it seems that if the song doesnt originate from the very back of the lower gwladys it doesnt get started at all
