All Samples are 11Khz 8Bit mono wav's. The sounds were sampled from original recordings taken at home against Sheffield United and Away at Tranmere and Huddersfield in March 1997, Bradford City Home April 26th 1997, Away at Manchester United FA Cup 5th Round Feb 1998 and various games 1998/99 season.

Along with all the below songs we've also tried 'singing' the theme from Van Der Valk (when we had 3 dutch players), the hovis advert music and even stooped to the Wednesday March popular in Italy. Sorry about the unoriginality of some of these but I say it as I hear it! During the Promotion game against Bradford the whole ground stood and sung the Liverpool anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone" 550k wav Sample. with raised scarves covering the whole of the ORA stand. The team runs out onto the pitch with a variation of the "Fanfare of the Common Man".

Oh yes and don't anyone get carried away, its all light hearted and not there to offend anyone.

Barnsley FC has even been known to inspire some people to write there own tunes about the club or adapt other songs some of which have gone commercial and some which haven't. No number ones yet just keep trying though.

Thanks to EGA96JBM, Daz, John Hayward, Richard Nunn, David on AOL, Paul McCarville,Dave, Geraldine Craig and anyone else who i've forgot to mention for the updates, and there is no "Marching on Together" because i'm not a Leeds fan.

****WARNING**** Some of the songs on this page may have fruity language so you may wish to not read if you are easily offended.

Premier League

The 1997/1998 Premier league campaign made us get to grips with a few new songs. While losing 6-0 at home to Chelsea we had the Monty Python "Always look on the bright side of life" and "7-6 were gonna win 7-6". Thanks to the ORA stand Band some general clapping in unison also being heard. Most of these were sung but some were idea's fans had for the historic season but never took off.

From North to South, across the ocean wide.
Oh, is it true, that you will soon be leaving,
to Sheffield Wednesday, another Premier side.

Stay by our side and see us through this plight.
But if you go, it's for your own good reason,
And we'll survive, you've taught us how to fight.

Two quick claps, 1-2
followed by two more quick claps 1-2
and then five quick claps. 1,2,3,4,5,
Then repeat about fifty times, then the continous o's for as long as possible, then repeat everything again.

Sometimes the clapping would be accompanied by the letter "de" (D), as in

Other Clubs, Fans and Players

For some reason many of our songs about other clubs seem to be based on Sheff Utd for some reason. I wonder why?

One Man

Many Clubs have a similar Song To the Following. One of my other favorities is from Bristol City Supporters , the first paragraph of it follows the Barnsley Version.
One man went to Mo
Went to Mo a Borough
One man and his Baseball Bat
Went to Mo a Borough.
Two Men went to Mo

We've also had to sing the same song about Mark Magoo the Wolves manager because of his remarks during the closing stages of the 1996/7 season. This was the sung in the background during every interview at the ground follwing promotion. Brilliant. ** No slight is intended to anyone else associated with Wolves or Scotland but this bloke is just a w****r. Concentrate on your own team mate. It needs it.

Inflatables

Thanks again to John Hayward for taking me back a few years. When many clubs fans carried silly inflatables with them. Grimsby had haddocks, Stoke had Pink Panthers and too many had bananas. (to the tune of she'll be coming round the mountain)
You can shove your f*****g panthers up your arse
You can shove your f*****g panthers up your arse
You can shove your f*****g panthers
Shove your f*****g panthers
Shove your f*****g panthers up you arse . SIDEWAYS! (or haddocks etc.)

(to the tune of You're not singing anymore)

Ronnie Moore

Thanks to Dave again for this great song. During the fourth division and the third division promtion campagne of the early eighties, Ronnie Moore, playing as No. 9 for Rotherham, must have been one of their most successful strikers, and his celebrations after scoring made him an automatic choice to be hated. So, from somewhere on "compost corner" began:-
Ronnie Moore's a w****r
he wears a w****rs hat,
and when he wears it back to front,
he looks a f****in t**t.

I also seem to remember something along the same lines about Lightbourne from Charlton
Lightbourne us a w****r
he wears a w****rs hat,
he plays for the Charlton
and he is a f***in t**t,
He dives down the left side
he dives down the right
he couldn't score a goal
if he played all f***in night
Oooo...

F****d it up again

Sung when we equalised against Everton September 1997. Unfortunatley we were singing it when they scored to go back into the lead. Strangely we stopped singing it then.

To be sung at any large opposing fan, or Steward.

When you're away and the opposing fans don't seem to be making enough noise.

or the ever popular.
Sing when your winning, You only sing when you're winning, Sing when your winning.

At any team that you don't particularly like.
Your Scum, and you know you are. Your Scum, and you know you are. Your Scum, and you know you are.

When the referee makes a decision that is against one of our players and show's that he is off dubious parentage.
Who's the Ba****d, Who's the Ba****d, Who's the Ba****d in the Black.

If the referee likes to do things on his own, with flagrent disregard for the actual acts on the pitch.
The referee's a Wa***r, The referee's a Wa***r, The referee's a Wa***r.
can be changed when your talking about individual opposing players but keeping the refrence to Mrs Palmer and her five daughters. We will use Dennis Wise as an example.

Then just as an aside whatever happened to the 70's and 80's, with the old "Your Goin home in a Saint John's Ambulance" as well as "Your gonna get your f****n heads kicked in" and finally "Come an have a go if ya think yer ard enough." Thank god those days have gone. Enjoy the football and go somewhere else for a fight. I'd rather watch a good game of footy.
