Some of you fifty-somethings may remember being away at Wolves over the Christmas period in 1983. It was a thoroughly crap performance (we lost 3-0) but good times were, of course, just around the corner.
Earlier in the year, Karma Chameleon had been a massive song and even 35 years on, I can hear the Wolves fans singing, "karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, come on you Wolves....come on you Wolves....come on you Woooollllllves!"
Never before had I seen 2000-3000 fans collectively turn to their left and with puzzled looks say "what the...." It was such a terrible, cringeworthy terrace song and I hate the fact that it's a football memory of mine.
Are there any similar chants out there that we need to be reminded of? Personally, I think that pop songs very rarely translate into good terrace songs but I'm willing to have my opinion changed.
Just for the record, 'Will Grigg's on fire' also falls into the terrible category in my humble opinion.

I was at that match. Can't really remember the song, but we got our windows smashed on the coach. Absolutely freezing on the way back home.
 

I remember when we played Blackburn in the FA Cup 1986 fans singing "Bye Bye Blackburn" to the tune of Bye Bye Blackbird

Worse chant ive ever heard is still "we only sing when were winning"
 
Any team with fans that sing “we’re the ____ over here” re. different sides of the ground should be liquidated immediately.
