Singing the blues?

[hanley]

I know this is a Guy Mitchell record which fans have adapted with their own lyrics, but why do Forest fans sing it? I know a couple of teams who play in blue that often sing this (Birmingham, Sheff Weds), and the 'Blues' style of music is often associated with sadness, so why do we sing it as a term of happiness? Is it ironic? Or am I dense / too young to know? Answers on a postcard...

Cos you can fit the lines...

"Never felt more like singing the blues...
When Forest win and D***y lose..."

..to it!

I've obviously been thinking too much about this

 

[RICH1977]

This is the right one

I've tried to explain a few times on here that it's a song for teams that play in blue and for some reason Forest fans started to sing it. No one seems to believe me though.

Ipswich even have a fan website called singing the blues named after this chant.

I cringe everytime I hear Forest fans sing it. It makes us look stupid.

Not at all. Back when I had a season ticket while at uni, my friend - not a Forest fan but bought a season ticket too as they were cheap - asked me why we sang it.

Far and away our worst song.


(Not that I didn't join in with it in the Globe after the Derby game - seemed a bit more relevant then. )

I like it

Who cares if it doesn't 'make sense' - it's quirky

Possibly my favourite chant, although I don't like to sing about them too much. They sing about us all the time. And that amuses me.

Well we just stand up for 90 minutes telling the rest to do so if they hate them..

Question to all yee chanters..

Since beating them last month.. have we stopped singing this as much? It was every 10 mins of a game at one stage!

thats probably becuase we were in L1 winning everyweek and derby were in the prem losing everyweek

However....this season, we can sign it without looking stupid, if we're wearing the away strip

I like it too, remember a 25 minute long rendition at Grimsby about 10 years ago, culminating in doing the conga around the away end. Happy days!

Some guy in the ground said more or less the same thing to me yesterday.

I said this to Al last night.

Apparently he sings the blues when he's happy. Weird.

It doesn't make sense, unless the words are changed slightly.

You've never felt more like singing the blues,
When Forest win and Derby lose

When we're playing Derby, and aimed at Derby fans singing the blues.

I never feel like singing the blues,
When Forest win and Derby lose

When we're not playing Derby, indiating that we don't sing the blues.

This song really annoys me. It simply doesn't make sense the way Forest fans sing it.

 

[Tutts]

I never felt more like playing Techno,
When Forest are high, and Derby are low.....

 

[Rich]

I never felt more like rocking with you
it's Forest 3 and Derby 2,
whoa-oh, I'm rocking with you.

I've never felt more like singing Ragga
when Savage cries cos of a corner flaga,
whoa-oh, Tyson waves the flaga.

I don't think I ever really feel like singing the blues.

It's just a song, and I like it

I have the Guy Mitchell version on my iPod. We should introduce the whistling part into our terrace rendition.

I've never felt more like rapping some rap,
Cos Forest are Ace and Derby are crap...
Woah-oh, you've got me rapping my rap.

 

[kezz]

Never felt more like drinking some booze,
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me drinking booze, Drink! Drink! Drink!



Never felt more like shaving my pubes,
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me shaving my pubes, Shave! Shave! Shave!



Never felt more like lickin' some boobs,
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me lickin' some boobs, Lick! Lick! Lick!



Never felt more like raping some Jews,
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me raping some Jews, Rape! Rape! Rape!!

 

[king_congo_red]

Never felt more like listening to Muse
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me listening to Muse, Muse! Muse! Muse!

Never felt more like shagging Rebecca Loos
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me shagging Rebecca Loos, Loos! Loos! Loos!

Never felt more like shopping in B&Qs
when Forest win, and Derby lose,
woa-oh you got me shopping in B&Qs - Qs!, Qs!, Qs!,

 

[Tutts]

I never felt more like playing Garage,
As tyson is great,
And Commons is large! Large! Large! Large!



(Only works if you say Garage like a Southener. lol)

 

[Rich]

I've never felt more like writing a hit,
cos Forest are great, and Derby are shit,
Woah-oh, I'll be writing a hit.

We're only one step away from masterbating,
as a tactic for Billys timewasting,
Oh Biiilly, I just soiled my pocket
