Nice try Thermo…….. but no cigar mate. Sadly , it's a big no from me...…….simply because it would never work........ too many fans would still sing the original words imo.

BillyG91 5,512 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 If the offending part is Fenian blood don't sing it. Can't just replace it either because they'll say it just sounds the same or similar. Either we just don't sing it and let them win or we restructure the song. "Hello, hello. We are the Billy Boys (x2) You will know us by our noise so you'll surrender or you'll die." Might sound shite reading it but sing those words. Second time singing "we are the Billy Boys" change the emphasis of so it sounds a bit different. Use "you'll know us by our noise" to replace the Fenian part. And in another "you'll" to fill it out a bit. Also singing "Boys" twice AND "noise" will make it sound different to listeners from just "...boys" "...noise". And of course adding a third rhyming word makes it still sound good and easy to sing. "...boys" "...boys" "...noise". Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrupsleftfoot 10,868 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Despite it being satire, changing the word would only result in the focus being placed on us singing about being up to our knees in anyone's blood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTeddy 758 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The best part of the song is the hello hello part - surely someone with half a brain could come up with words that fit that and are actually about the team. No need to be up to our knees in anything and I'm not even sure it even needs Billy boys in it given that (as far as I recall) the reference is to Billy Fullerton and most of us aren't from Bridgeton. If Liverpool fans can revamp Fields of Athenray to fit their club surely we can come up with something that's basically five lines. Sick of the pish that it can never be sung - it just needs people to move on a wee bit and put team lyrics over non team stuff, in the same way 99% of teams in the world do Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,814 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Some strange threads in the last 24 hrs. Stop singing the song in any version. It's that simple, don't understand how some can't see that. BlueboyG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueboyG 5,237 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 As above, it's not rocket science, if you need to change the words of a song don't sing the fuckin song as piss heads wouldn't be able to stop themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It doesn't matter what we change within that song. We have to surrender or die ourselves:( This is the horror of Uefa and certain scumbags intervening. BlueboyG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best things about going to a football match is giving the other supporters dogs abuse ( at least it was until snow flake cunts took over) Malvern, slimjim1690, Bobby Hume and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA has still never listed songs that cannot be sung, maybe as it is too much work for all the leagues they cover. After all singing about Hillsborough by Man Utd fans and Singing about the Busby Babes dying in the aircrash by Liverpool fans must be off limits too surely?
