Can’t beat Back Home


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

The first football song I really recall being sung by players

World Cup Willie would have been the first football related tune I would sing along to though

World Cup Willie was a bit before my time. I was alive then but don’t remember anything of 1966.

The first football song I remember was this. The singers were intermittent guests on the Tonight programme with Cliff Michelmore. They alternated with Cy Grant who was a West Indian calypso singer doing topical songs. Needs to be watched on YouTube.

Slightly tenuous but last time I saw the Skids in Southampton they played this twice and the crowd had a good old singalong.

Hoping to see them for the fifth time in Brighton at the end of October, only one year after the original date was cancelled.


The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you

A slightly tenuous link to the football songs theme, here's Hibs supporters with a rousing rendition of Sunshine On Leith by everyone's favourite Scottish twin brother musical act The Proclaimers. One of them years when the Celtic/Rangers monopoly was broken.

Don’t be misled: by the title. This could have been made for Town but maybe the tempo is a bit quick. Still the thought of all the fans in the Ponny doing a foxtrot to it has a certain appeal.😀😀

If it’s the Andrews Sisters you like Ron, here’s one of my faves. Though it’s not my favourite version of this particular song. There’s a racier version (where the bloke is tomcatting all over the country, and is not just commitment-phobic), but you’d have to understand Finnish for that 😁

Lyrics (with an error you’ll spot on the second line) so you can sing along to it in the kitchen.

It’s a goodie Kingston. There are one or two Andrews Sisters songs that are double entendre, like Rum And Coca Cola.
