Do other clubs ever think up their own chants??

[meffin]

Latest rip off is the sunderland fans singing the fernando torres song but with cisse's name insted of torres (Djibril Cisse, sunderlands numer 9)

and UTD ripped of "we won it 5 times", are we the only club to invent new chants

[lackyboy]

Yeah heard that tune being sung today - mind you, couldn't understand a fecking word of it apart from 'Djibril Cisse'!

[Leyton388]

Thats because they cant think of their own. The football world would be a pretty dull place if liverpool did not exist .

The tune for the Torres song was in use before we used it.

Manc's use it for John O'Shea i think

Get a grip mate, we've done exactly the same over the years.

And the Scum no doubt nicked it from someone else. Very few original songs about these days.

I think the hissy fit is because its the Torres song and that's our most popular chant at the moment.

And Utds song was a rip off of Celtic's Henrik Larsson song.

Man United's version of 'we won it 5 times' is a ****in dispicable song....something along the lines of "without killing anyone" in place of our "in istanbul"

dirty cunts.....

Long before

I don't find the fact so many songs are just lazy rehashes flattering, though, just ****ing annoying. It makes the singing culture seem so hollow.

The tune is the same, but the lyrics are original - which is the case with pretty much every single football song anyway. The other thing is we didn't just listen to their song and go "oh that's good let's change a few words and call it our own". From what I've heard, the aping of the Nando song has done exactly that.

That is rarely sung now, not by many at least and not in quite a while. Thankfully the less braindead Mancs ousted it and it gave way to a really **** Ronaldo song to the same tune.

John O'shea had the Torres tune before we used it. As mentioned Luis Garcia's song was not original. The Fields of Anfield road is not original. The mancs were using the tune to five times before we were.

It happens all over the world not just here.

Sunderland did copy the ending to the song and there is no doubt that the Torres song was what they copied but it is something that always goes on.

I think the only tune that is original to us these days may be Ring of Fire.

I don't remember anyone else singing that before us?

It was sung before but, as I point out every single time this crops up , I believe we were the first, as this chant from the 60s testifies...

So here’s to Lawrence, Byrne St John, Haroo! Haroo!
Milne and Yeats and Stevenson Haroo! Haroo!
Hunt and Thompson - what a man!
Lawler Smith and Callaghan,
and we’ll all get blind drunk when Liverpool win the Cup!

The point about the widespread aping of the Torres chant stands, however. United sang it a while back about O'****ingShea (given his ****eness it rarely got an enthusiastic outing) and also about the abject failure Forlan. They have since wheeled out their half-arsed Forlan version as a response to the Torres song, which I find truly cringeworthy. It is about a failed striker of theirs who has long since moved on (yes we (and United) sing about past players but this is largely reserved for legends - not failures like Forlan).

We revived the song to glorious effect for Torres - fantastic lyrics about a truly fantastic player. We've got the bounce, too. It has gone down a storm with neutral supporters (Oldham, City and other supporters I know have said to me what a great chant it is). A BT ad campaign also cunningly used the tune after the chant really gathered momentum.

Now Sunderland have *******ised it for Cisse, and the Bitters have their laughable version ('who needs Torres when we've got Yakubu' ). I think this is why I and others get pissed off.

Also the 'Liiiiiiverpool, Liiiiiverpool' chant has been copied all over the country. Yes, we lifted that one from somewhere in Europe (can't remember where) but that's what LFC supporters often do - introduce tunes used in other countries. To the best of my knowledge we were the first in this country to use that and it has now become a stock tune in almost every ground in Britain.

The without killing anyone was given full pelt against Celtic in the week.They rolled out their full anti Liverpool repertoire so much so that a Celtic fan wrote in to the fan pages on ITV teletext saying he was very disappointed with the atmosphere at old toilet cos all they sang about was Liverpool

Sad obsessed ****s.

[meffin]

what im trying to say is that although we use other songs, we at least think up new chants, not just replace a few words like sunderland and man poo

[Aza]

Here's a fantastic original song I made up; got it's own original tune too

Ronaldo-aldo
It's off to Citeh he'll go
'Coz Real Madrid said no
