Could this be the start of a campaign to bring back Leader of the Gang as our genuine club anthem? It seems harsh if his band mates have to suffer because of what he did.
It’s not going to happen. Too much explaining needed!Could this be the start of a campaign to bring back Leader of the Gang as our genuine club anthem? It seems harsh if his band mates have to suffer because of what he did.

She Wore A Yellow Ribbon was ours, not the greatest but distinctive. Or that Slade one MyOh My. Hard to explain to the young folk maybe.Sadly I fear this is true. We've all seen how easily people take offence when they put their minds to it.
This is still my wake up alarm!This is all we need.
I don't really feel any OUFC connection to the song.
What song would you suggest as a connection to OUFC?
Before joking about hearing “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” in a Boston accent, I thought I’d look up the history of the song, and there is a baseball connection according to Wikipedia, but with the wrong coloured sox:Whether England or Oxford, to me it will always feel like copying the Red Sox, every bit as much as if we started singing "I'm forever blowing bubbles"!

There's a reason why the club used to play this but don't anymore. It's an awful, awful song.This is all we need.

Relevant? Have we morphed into Sweden all of a sudden?Yep, far to upbeat, far to relevant to a team that plays in yellow and blue, too easy to sing along to.
Lets have a nice uplifting dirge like Coldplay....

I agree it's a great one to play before or after the game, but hard to sing. I like Sweet Caroline because it's become a bit of a tradition - we adopted it long before England had anything to sing about. It would be nice to have a fans' song for the east stand to sing though.Dear Pedant....... colour match. That's it.
Football songs, generically, need to be simple, relevant and uplifting.
