Have you ever sung "that song" ?

[Angelgabriel]

I don't know if you all remember, but in the 1989 Cup Final the pre-match entertainment was Liverpool based. People were singing the folk songs like "Maggie May" and "The Leaving of Liverpool" which was great. Then Gerry Marsden came out and encouraged everyone to sing "that song". Bearing in mind what had occurred, I suppose I don't blame my dad for singing along, especially as there wasn't as much hatred back in those days. But even on that occasion, I couldn't bring myself to sing it. I can't watch Carousel (and I really like musicals), and any time it comes on the radio or TV I have to turn it off.

So who sang it in 1989, have you ever sung it (maybe at a RS mate's funeral) and in what circumstances would you?

I think if my mate, who is a reasonable enough bloke for a RS, asked me to sing it at his funeral I'd do it grudgingly!!

You say the hatred wasn't there back in them days. But it was after Heysel and the European ban, which is the major reason that the hatred exists today. When/why do you reckon the Derby started turning to the full on hatred we have today?

The hatred started when the RS couldnt pat us on the head while they were winning

Hatred wasnt there then!!!!!Yes it was.I was there and nobody sang it around where i was.I would never sing it and if it comes on at a party i leave.In fact on one occassion when it was played you couldnt get out of the door cos of the amount of lads trying to get out

I said there wasn't as much hatred. That has grown as both clubs have been relatively unsuccessful.

 

[l4toffee]

No comprende

 

[Sapie88]

Koff.

I poured a pint over a birds head who had the title of that song tattooed on her tits . The mouthy horrible kopite mut

 

[Groucho]

Never sung it.

It's been played at the odd family funeral, but I don't think you can live on Merseyside and that not be the case.

However I've never actually sung it. Can't stand it as a musical piece to be fair. Dirge.
