    Definitely samba from the pre-match crowd in Kapture. I think Tyreece likes it (even if it is a long way from his personal music taste) so that’s good enough for me. 

    Those who kept insisting we need more original chants - let’s have them then?

    from ChatGPT 


    Leaburn's Lights"

    (To the tune of "Blinding Lights")

    [Chorus]
    Leaburn's lights, he's running fast,
    Chasing dreams that always last,
    From the box, he’s breaking through,
    Charlton’s hero, that’s Leaburn, it’s true!

    [Verse 1]
    He’s got the skill, he’s got the pace,
    A deadly strike, you can’t erase,
    Charlton’s pride, he’s born to lead,
    Leaburn’s here, he’s what we need!

    [Chorus]
    Leaburn's lights, he’s running fast,
    Chasing dreams that always last,
    From the box, he’s breaking through,
    Charlton’s hero, that’s Leaburn, it’s true!

    [Outro]
    He’s our star, he’s shining bright,
    Miles Leaburn, he’s taking flight!

    Don’t think it’s a case of being miserable (though by an amazing coincidence, I’m proper miserable).

    Football chants (not songs) should have an element where at least some point of a chant gets sung / shouted louder than other bits. Proper give it full beans and clear the throat. Or if not, it’s at a slower place and simple with few words.  

    This Campbell copy is sung relatively fast in a low pitched tone that doesn’t rise. So it doesn’t really travel round the stands and from a distance sounds like a mumble. If he scored tonight they’ll be a couple of hundred around the drummer flogging it to death for five mins, but outside that, they’ll be no proper post goal celebration chants going round the ground. That’s why We’re on the way, and ole ole ole, Amazing Grace Charlton are always the loudest because they have higher shout moments that draw everyone else in, 

    plus it sounds shit, he’s not Brazilian or Latin American, we’re in Saff London where it’s pretty devoid of swaying samba rhythms and dancing fans.

    Told you I was proper miserable:-(

    I love it when a new song/chant pops up and everyone starts c*nting it off! Sweet jesus, let the kids do their thing and get behind the team. Every song is stolen and always has been. Good to have an atmosphere, surely?

    But AFKA's point is right, these wordy chants don't improve the atmosphere. You need short chants to get the more of the ground involved, otherwise it's just one and a half blocks in tbe covered end while the rest of the ground clap along like seals.

    Only disappointment tonight is we didn’t sing something for Macaulay Gillesphy to one of Alysha Dixon’s popular rap segways in Mis-Teeq’s  classic garage track All I Want. 

    Hopefully Palace will come up with something soon for us to copy

    Short, sweet and train themed. Perfect for us.

    As Croydon says, the wordy chants don't improve the atmosphere. Keep it short and simple.

    I agree with all this and I'll add something. Last night was the worst we've ever sung Valley Floyd Road. Yes, I know that sounds incredible seeing as how bad we usually sing it but is was faster with even more missed syllabus. I can only think it's related to the unrelenting speed of the Samba song that dominated last night's Choir practice. Can somebody please slip some bromide in the drummers' tea?

    Totally agree about wordy songs being crap for the atmosphere. The 'Super Clive Mendonca' song was perfect - three words, good tune and everyone can sing it. If you have to go online to ask for the words to a song, it's a shit song.

    I’ve suggested loads in the past on here (as have other people) but I don’t think the ’lead singers’ read this or most probably they don’t care what we think.

     Recently someone started ’Give it Up’ by KC &tSB and that’s really caught on.
    All you have to do is take an 80s hits compilation and you’d gets loads of similar ideas. For example:

    Take on Me - for a 3 syllable name ending with the  ’e’ sound
    Don’t you want me: for a 4 syllable name ending with the ’e’ sound
    Wake me up before you go go - for an 8 syllable name ending with the ’o’ sound

    Then you can look at the Motown hits

    I’m willing to bet that I could make a chant for every player in a team within a month. Some would just be the name, others would work with the line before or following.
    I have to do something similar with whole songs in order to teach pronunciation - this would be easy in comparison. The problem is that I doubt anyone would actually sing my suggestions.

    Sat in the east stand last night (normally in the north upper) and the noise from the north upper was louder than i expected - particularly at the end with the ole ole ole song - the 'composition' of that tune is bang on for a football chant and has been around for a number of years now because it works - same with 'since i was young' which is really from the CP era. The test of a truly great football song is if it sticks around and although i don't have a problem with it, i suspect the sway song will be a one season wonder. The one i'd like to see consigned to the dump is 'cafc, we hate millwall, cafc we hate millwall' - don't disagree with the sentiment but what an absolute bender of a shit song. 'Stand up if you love...' is also cringe. There's a few other shockers but can't think of them right now.

    Would like to see an attempt to get the east and the west stand involved in a bit of a 'we are the H block, we are the L block and so on type thing  - nothing wrong with a bit of a monotonous one that builds - could start in the north and go to a couple of blocks in the west and east - for a bit of 'fun' - better than the mexican wave and might just get some singing sections together in other stands

    The speed that VFR was sung last night was mental, it was like there was a race to get it finished.

    As long as the east and west don't try the Gillesphey song. We'll have a touchline covered in false teeth and spittle.

    More full the stadium is the more you get all three sides singing. I occasionally sit in the West and you look a bit of a numpty if you start to belt anything out

    Take an old football related song like "Life of Riley" by the Lightening seeds that everyone knows the tune to and change the words...

    Trouble is the words bit is where I don't have a clue...!  The actual lyrics are...

    "So here's your life (here's your life)
    We'll find our way
    We're sailing blind
    But it's certain nothing's certain

    I don't mind
    I get the feeling
    You'll be fine
    I still believe that
    In this world
    We've got to find the time
    For the life of Riley"
    Going to play devils advocate here and suggest most fans under 30 won’t ever have heard Life of Riley or will only have heard the intro and they’re who tend to get the songs going in my experience 
    I can't imagine most Yoof on the terraces listen to Michael Buble much either, but that hasn't stopped them signing Sway  :D
    Ah but it isn’t Buble! It’s one of those classic songs that people just know because you hear it in films etc. and then everyone thinks it’s a particular singers tune 
    It's Dean Martin originally, isn't it?

    understood but that's where my cunning plan comes into play - the 'we are the x block, wild west upper' is a warm up, an ice breaker and to see who else might be willing to join you in a bit of a sing song and is over quickly if nobody does

    This would be so much better for TC in my opinion. Swap Georgie Baldock for Tyreece Campbell and you're golden.

    I still can't figure out our version of the Everywhere we go" song. Are the last two lines "Let's show our boys, Let's show our boys" That's what I hear and if it's that, it's a bit naff.
