Are there any circumstances that would make you that dirge YNWA ?

Personally, as childish as it sounds, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to sing that song.

 

[Blue 1]

My mate's funeral.

The Elvis version. We all sang it.

Might have warbled a bit.

*obvs mistake in the title to leave out warble

My mate's funeral.

The Elvis version.

Fair play to you, don’t think I could

Liked it as a kid. Disliked it long before I associated it with the rs, because its overplayed maudlin crap.

Really really dislike it now. I leave the room if I hear it.

I've been to a few Celtic games and always look the odd one out not standing or singing when it's played.

The wedge is being driven deeper between both clubs.
But funerals is a passable excuse.
Maybe my younger self would, but now ...no chance.
As an aside.."he ain't heavy " gets me everytime, a mixture of how great our club was and relatives of blue friends who never came back from Sheffield

Most Koppites and tourists think it was written by Gerry Marsden.

 

[Goodison87]

They all sang it a my brothers wedding reception, waving napkins and all that.

We are good mates but, I went for a pee. Luckily he saw the funny side of it as about twenty of us sis the same thing, all back in the second it ended.

Never under ANY circumstances would I join in singing it.
I usually leave the room or turn off the TV/radio to avoid hearing it wherever possible.
Childish? . . . possibly, NEA

Boss thread title. Worthy of Joey.

 

[Ray Purchase]

The occasional busker will sing it on Church Street.

I take a sharp left and seek silence- refuge in the Bluecoat gardens.

Was one of those classic '' songs from the shows '' that people like my parents loved in the 1950's .Then it was hijacked by the dark side. Now I can't bear to hear it.

Not childish at all.
As the saying goes - I'd rather walk alone.
