2 world wars, 1 world cup Bigtimmeh 2 world wars, 1 world cup Ex-Southbank and East stand chantstarter here, generally disappointed by the new generation of chanters over the last 10 years or so but I have to say I like a certain chant, not sure what it is though. I'm sure you all know it, It starts (notes in brackets)...
der(A) der(A) der(G) der(F) OOOPH (or hoops?) der(A) der(A) de(A) der(G) der(F) OOOPH der(A) der(A) der(A) der(F) deeeeeeeeeeeer(G)....
Great rhythm and build up and punch to it, really rocks the stadium when we sing it. Good work guys. (probably nicked off another team I imagine though... )
Someone fill me in please.
not sure it's quite sung on those notes, perhaps it's a little flat at times, but I think you are referring to the "hoof" chant. My understanding is that it is in reference to old criticisms that we would just"hoof" the ball upfront. Not 100% sure tho
Thanks. What are the lyrics to the hoof chant then?
I’m a musician so unlikely will have melody wrong but it’s possible I’m not remembering it correctly.
I think at some point I remember it being sung when Meite did something , not sure if he has a chant like that.
Well the notes you are using definitely refer to the Meite chant (in F major if anyone cares - chords F and C7 only)
A A G F
We've got Mei-te
A A G F
Ya - kou Mei-te
F A A A G F A G
I just don't think you un-der-stand (never known if these are quite the right words)
G G G F E
He signed on a free
G G F E
From P S G
G G A A G F
We've got Ya -kou Mei-te.
Or something like that. Words are, I think pretty interchangeable depending where you sit
Hoofs in that one, less sure!
