Singing the wrong words to chants
Breaks down into two categories:
Intentional (normally for parental reasons)
We've deliberately been singing a version of Allez Allez, Allez since the start that leaves out the f***ing 'We are dynamite'
I tried to explain against Forest that their support were duck & sheep instead of the more agricultural version.
And its well known that many people have proclaimed that South London is full of chips and grannies.
Unintentional (ie. a bit stoopid)
We've all had people sitting near us over the years who have sung 'We are Charlton, Cupboard End / Coming In' instead of the Covered End
the latest entry is I've been staggered this season just how many people still seem to be 'on the waaaaay' to the Championship instead of the Premier League.
Anyone got any other examples of intentional / unintentional incorrect singing they've been guilty of or heard from others over the years?

Thought it was Ole Ole Ole not Allez? The way our lot sing it anyway!0

For a long time in my youth I believed the words to VFR were:
"Many hours have I spent in the cupboard and cried
Singing Valley Floyd Road, my only desire".
Would probably be more appropriate with some of the football we've put up with over the years!52 -
My hearing is not the best I admit but does anyone else find the diction of the singing almost impossible to follow?
I simply cannot identify the words to the songs other than the odd one.2 -
The classic that me and me dad used to do is when red army was being chanted we would go off into creating as many different sounds and words which sounded similar. Pepperoni, have a salami, oooohhhmelarmy and so on were a few.4

I know it is meant to be Allez but try listening - sure at least half are singing Ole.jacob_CAFC said:

There's one this season where I literally cannot make out a single word. It sounds a bit like voulez-vous by Abba and it might be for a player, but that's all I've got.LenGlover said:My hearing is not the best I admit but does anyone else find the diction of the singing almost impossible to follow?

My old man, it transpires, has got a few minor words in TRRR slightly wrong since I was very little, and I now have no idea what the actual lyrics are (and am now desperately re-educating myself):
- "... when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song" (should be own)
- "What if I feel blue" (I've been)
- "I'm like a kid again" (just)
I definitely misheard this one when I was little, but "live long laugh and be happy" (so this one almost certainly wasn't his fault!).

Red Army
Salami0 -
Crowd - Red Army
Wife - Why are they singing "where are we", they must know where they are.
The last time I took her (Man Utd at home so she and my mum could drool over David Beckham).2 -
Im pretty sure Ive heard "valley choir" instead of "covered end choir".0

My mum thought the BWP chant went:
He's very small,
He's very small,
Bradley Wright-Phillips,
he's very small!10 -
had a guy next to me that used to think it was salami instead of red army

I spent many years singing "here's the ball you take away" instead of "is that all you take away?" at away supporters.3

Knew a bloke who when we sang "come onn you redddsss!!"
He would sing "we'll cum on your headddss!!"
He was a bit of a special case11 -
Still can't understand a word of the Oshilaja song.
And I always sing Ole, not Allez.
What's that? Yes I am a little deaf.0 -
Everyone always ends the ‘eieieio up the football league we go’ chant too soon1

Tbf that's probably one of our few original chants. Every other team does the next verse we can't/don't botherJoshAddick said:Everyone always ends the ‘eieieio up the football league we go’ chant too soon0 -

For my sons benefit I used to tell them it was "He scores goals, down the valley" for the Andy Hunt song.0
