    The first time I heard, 'Kin-Kin-Kin-Sella', I thought it was 'Keep, Keep, Keep It Up. Then I thought, hang on, that would be a very sedate football chant from 1929

    We've deliberately been singing a version of Allez Allez, Allez since the start that leaves out the f***ing 'We are dynamite'

    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?

    Since I was young......

    Been racking my brains. My boy at a game last season during a rendition of CAFC CAFC said “Daddy why are we singing about Messi he doesn’t play for us. ? Even now I don’t think I’ve answered him. Strange 9 year old.

    I have decided to sing 'Ole, allez, ole, allez' to show off my multi lingual skills.

    Guy next to me used to sing:

    "Chris Solly Solly, he's only 5 ft 3, he's better when on tele, Chris Solly Solly"

    Also when I was younger I used to sing the Steve Brown song.... "Oh Stevie Brown won't let you down, he's got a name like a colour, oh Stevie Brown wont let you down"

    I still don't know what the real words were.

    Going back some years, I thought that “and now you’re going to believe us” of the “we’re gonna win the league” chant was “and Harry won’t believe us”. I thought this was a reference to the captain, Harry Gregory. I could never work out why Harry was such a pessimist and, frankly, why on earth he should be captain if he thought we couldn’t win the league.

    A chap behind me always used to shout 'chips' to cover up the end of the Hovis Ad song for his nipper.

    I always thought it was "in the red and white of Charlton "

    Perhaps we should ask Brownie what he prefers  :)

    First few times I heard the 'Allez, allez' song and the line 'And now we've got Lee Bowyer'... I thought it was 'And now we're doing yoga'! 
    My husband fell about laughing!

    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.
    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. 
    Aha

    Hey, hey Roland, ohh ahh

    ’Dad, what is the word at the end? I know it begins with a C’ 

    ‘I’m not telling you’. 

    Secondary school changed all that. 

    ‘Dad, I think I know what the word is. It’s written on the toilet ceiling at school’ 

    ‘Ok, yes that’s right’ 

    ‘Dad, what does it mean’ 

    ‘Oh FFS’.

    Late 90's, away at QPR, a friend came with me who is not really 'into' football. A long and loud rendition of "Red Army" eventually finished, he asked me who Fred is?

    I don’t think more than two hours has passed in the last couple of days without singing in my head “now we’ve got Ebola”

    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!). 
    Whoa - it’s “own sweet song”? Genuinely always though it was “old”.

    Literally crying with laughter over here. It's a good job my neighbours are at work, or they'd think I'd totally lost the plot with the manic cackling emanating from my flat in the last 5 minutes.
