Change of Tune

[strawclearer]

Everyone everywhere is raised by Sweet Caroline, we are so down at moment, this would lift us.

Sweet Tigers-mine
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I...

I actually quite like that!

I wonder..................

Not everyone.

Other rugby union (and other sports - Bumble in cricket is associated with it for example) clubs also play/sing this, it's generic, not related in any way shape or form to Tigers so in reality, IMO, it may well raise an apparent 'feel good' atmosphere but not specific to our team - nearly all supporters could join in - if they so wished, including opposition fans.

And, it's not really a 'run out' song, IMO.

For in game, to be sung by supporters (not played on P.A. to sing to) I'd prefer something that our players may/can hear and latch on to, "they're singing to get behind us, trying to lift us" type of thing, rather than "they're singing a little ditty because we're boring them or because they're cold". kinda thing.

I've never really understood why we don't use/sing Eye of the Tiger by Survivor to run out to, although at present we're not really rising up to the challenge of our rivals (enough) we do take our time though but often don't take our chances and of late the fight hasn't given us a thrill.

But apart from that........ can only think it's a copyright, or age thing....and it's hard enough to get some to say (let alone sing/shout) TIGERS.....

If that fails and you want a 'feel good' song, getting singing Tiger Feet by Mud.

The old chestnut!

One wonders if the original poster has bothered to read any of the légions of threads on this subject. The arguments remain the same, as does the song.

We're getting Led Zeppelin??

Look at my byline too!

I don’t want a change, but the start of « Kashmir » would do at a pinch!

Already noted, for the seemingly Black Mood that is hanging around the place, let's Rock n Roll out the Black Dog!

Some things you just don't change; pancakes on Shrove Tuesday; eggs at Easter; Trees at Christmas; Smoke on the Water at Welford Road. Simples...

+1

[Scott1]

Laurel and Hardy or Steptoe and Son fit for me

[Dangerous4]

You're No Good, by the Swinging Blue Jeans, fits the bill for me.

Disappointed that Shiny Happy People has been removed from the post-match playlist.

Disappointed that Shiny Happy People has been removed from the post-match playlist.

Probably because there haven't been too many of those recently.

Nirvana's 'Curmudgeon' would be a more appropriately named track - for some, but not all

Sweet Caroline for me and everyone would join in. I really like Strawclearer's version.

You have poor taste.

[fleabane]

everyone would join in.

Not everyone!

Agree with Whitecap Tiger. Why do people, (LE18 for example), assume that everyone has the same appalling taste as themselves.

“Sweet Caroline” is a soft poppy song, totally unsuitable for a team with a solid pack. Heavy rock, heavy metal a better fit. Keep Deep Purple, or go LedZep “Kashmir”. Loops too!

Although it's a tongue-in-cheek topic, I don't think anyone is suggesting we replace "Smoke etc" as the classic we run out to. It's not having something - other than "Tiiiiiiiiiiiiigers!" - during the game to focus on. I think.

Funeral March?
Certaily felt like cutting my own throat at some of our performances this season.
