I really like the chant that Sunderland and a few others do - Wise Men Say. I mentioned this to my Dad and he said that we used to sing it back in the 80's. Would love us to bring it back.

Wise Men Say,

Only fools rush in,

and I can't help falling in love with you!

Rovers, Rovers, Rovers.

It's pretty basic so not exactly going to challenge our fans!

We sang it later than the 80s, just seemed to vanish about 10/15 years ago.

Most definitely a terrace song, used to end up about 10 steps further down than where you first stood with some of them. A good crack in the days when fans were allowed to enjoy themselves. The fun went out of football when terraces were replaced and gestapo like rules, jobsworth ten bob stewards and stupid ticket prices took over.

Songs lost to a generation and not just a Ewood

[A cup of beans]

We sang it later than the 80s, just seemed to vanish about 10/15 years ago.

Best rendition of this song was in 92/93, our 1st Premier League game at Anfield. Sang it for about 30 mins, non stop. Played them of the pitch and lost. Shearer scored sublime volley.

[Mattyblue]

Made up for it the year after when Newell slammed one in.

You are my Rovers

My Blackburn Rovers

You make me happy when skies are grey....

Some one posted earlier about Rovers having its own unique anthem, Like Stokes Delilah or Whams Bubbles.

We already have one! It should be compulsory for all Young Rovers to learn it. We used to sing it in the van on away trips. It fair got the blood pumping. There was also an excellent B Side to this.

Edit: Found B Side.

Wow, never heard these before pal, they are fantastic mate!

Not my uploads to You Tube, but they are from a Record from the 70's. I'm sure some Board Members will have copies.

I know them from our travels, where they were the Away Day Anthems, but never really heard it widely sung at Ewood funnily enough.

I heard them on the web archive for this site. Was surprised they actually worked because it was like 96/97. The first one could work as an anthem now though I would prefer slightly more modern contemporary instrumentals.

I have that record somewhere collecting dust

Know By Gum off by heart, sure the Darwen Blues 007 coach used to play it on away trips...

Who says "by gum" these days though? If its ever used change it to "by god" (or as Jim Ross would say BAH GAWD) or something like that.

Today was the first time I have heard by gum in over forty years, I was word for word except one line near the end. Yet I sometimes forget why I walk into a room.

Who says "by gum" these days though?.

Isn't that the point, to try to introduce something to make the Rovers stand out.

There's plenty of us about.

Anyone care to type up the lyrics to that? Sounds great!

Never give in, go out to win

For ever will be our aim

And here's a song to help us along the way

Blackburn Rovers good old blue and white

For our namesakes to play is our delight

Whoever we're playing we'll never be failing

In giving our best to test the rest at home or away

Our name is ranked among the all time greats

We never say die we're here to try we're going to celebrate

For we are the Rovers we're proud of our colours

On and on we'll carry to victory

For our colours we'll be scoring for the Rovers they'll be roaring

We'll never give in by gum we'll make it our day

Any mistakes, I put down to age, and alcohol.

[Mike E]

Perhaps send the vis and accompanying lyrics to Alan Myers.

It's unique, it's ours, and fits our video package better!

[ABBEY]

NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER

NO MATTTER WHERE WE PLAY

WE ARE THE MAIN ATTRACTION

Has this been done? Its certainly a good idea.

Can you hum it for us?

[roverstdt]

Songs that I missed where. 

 

"What's that coming over the hill, Shabani Nonda? Shabani NONDAAAAA!"

ANd i always found it amusing chanting "You're just a South Southern @#/?" considering I am half French and I am grew up in London haha.

We've won the cup three times on the run,

Champions of division one,

Now in three,

It doesn't bother me,

We are the Blackburn Rovers.
