Chant Like An English Fan: The Laddz

A timely update of the old Bangles song.

Musical Style: Rock fuzz guitars, racing beat, male vocal, 80s-style pop-rock.

Over The Moon: This is a great song taken in fine terrace tradition into care of the Laddz, Richard Eyre & Anthony Donnelly, who have recorded a decently well-produced anthem. The "woo-eee-oh" parts are just great for shouting in drunken celebration after the fourth goal goes in. Lyrics are reall good too - lots of work gone into this one - "All the English fans in the stands, They’ve got the vibe, take a bet, We’re English Fans (Oh Whey Oh), We chant it out, smoke a cigarette, Student types with their bongs and pipes, say Ay oh whey oh, whey oh ay oh - Chant like an English Fan". An imaginative steal.

Sick As A Parrot: The tune is pretty damn tricky rhythmically - aside from the "woo-eee-oh" - and only the most confident of terrace chanters will learn it. The speed of the song blurs the words somewhat.

Terrace Appeal: 7/10
