Aye Aye Aye Aye, Barton is better than Yashin and Douglas is better than Eusebio and Carlisle are in for a thrashing.

'You've got me singing the Blues' has made a welcome return after years on hiatus.

[Mojo risin']

But the problem with the new version of 'Singin' the Blues..' - the kids are singing it the wrong way round. They are singing ' I've never felt quite like singin' the blues, when Rovers win and Burnley lose'. I used to always sing the other way round. Why would you sing the blues about Rovers winning and Burnley losing? The blues are normally sang when upset I though, so it should be sang 'I've never felt like singing the blues, when Burnley win and Rovers lose, oh Rovers you've got me singin the blues...'

I think youre confusing 'The Blues (music), with 'The Blues' (rovers). It's sung to acclaim a rovers victory and is celebratory!

[Mattyblue]

It's a play on words, we are 'singing the Blues' as in singing for the Rovers.

[JC4LAB]

Manfred Mann....Come on without Come on within ..youll not see nothing like Don Martin..

'You've got me singing the Blues' has made a welcome return after years on hiatus.

One of the best all time Rovers songs for me and I am really pleased it has made a return. For some reason the BE won't join in, but I am working on that.

I used to like;

"Bring out the Rovers" - "We are the Champions" - "Bring out the Rovers" - "Champions of Europe" - "Bring out the Rovers" - "Still hate Burnley" - "Bring out the Rovers" - "Blues" - prior to every game.

In the mid to late 80's this song could start at 2.30pm and still be heard moments before the team came out. It was good fun on the BE at that time and I also enjoyed watching our football.

[old darwen blue]

You are my sunshine. Then at the end the back of the Blackburn End all pushed forward, woe betide you if you weren't paying attention and ran forward

[67splitscreen]

WE will follow the rovers over land and sea ..................onto victory ..............

That long ago, struggling to remember all the words. Help!

[OhmiBRFC]

We'll all follow the Rovers, over land and sea (and Preston!) we'll all follow the Rovers on to victory. ALL TOGETHER NOW! Then repeat.

[Stuart]

I'll be shot for saying it but too many of our main songs have swearing in them.

The world has moved on and a lot more women and children go to Rovers now. So a lot of the songs die a death because the majority of the ground don't join in.

We need more match day songs with that are a bit more accessible. At present only barmy army makes its way around the sides.

But not wet like the Wild Rover remake.

Goals also help stretch people's vocal chords though!

Think you're talking wet Stu , most parents turn a blind eye to their kid swearing through song at a footy match. Mine always did, it's a right of passage.

I won't swear in front of my son - even at a football match.

Why do you think it is then that barmy army and gerrintoem are so noisy yet our version of Blaydon Races fades away in the middle?

This needs to make a come back!

'get into em' is an appalling chant that luckily has died away.

When Ewood is rocking they all get sung with gusto. Think you are looking too deeply into it.

[Mr Maureen]

Top 5 cringhworthy songs at Ewood.

1.Get into em.

2.Barmy army.........Rovers fans are the least barmy fans in the country.

3.If I had the wings of an angel.

4.Da da da da da da da da daaaa da da da da da da da Ruvverz.

5.There's only one Jack Walker.

Just thought I would end the week on a negative.

Knives were made for stabbing, guns were made to shoot.

[Jock]

We are Rovers,

We are Rovers,

We are Rovers from the north.

Always remember this being really loud at Bramell Lane in the 90's.

Do hear it now and then but not often enough.

[iacok]

From late 70s early 80s to the tune of The Floral Dance (don't ask).

I thought I heard the curious tone

Of the Burnley fans as they start to moan

Hard to smile when you'r 3 goals down

Rovers giving you the run around

Sometimes it's hard to win away

BUT NOT AT BURNLEY ON A BOXING DAY!

[Doug]

'We are the Blackburn End' to the tune of 'those were the days my friend', (I was always a Riversider in those days).

'Noel Noel, Noel Noel, he is the king of Ewood park.

Bobby Bobby Bobby.....Hoy Hoy Hoy.

Bohinen...Bohinen (to the Vikings tune).

[Elegia]

The bear went over the mountain...
