When it comes to pop music and football, the rules are pretty simple. The song must have an easy chorus to chant, and be easily adaptable lyrically for optimum praise of a club's player, or insult of the opposition. Or the song needs to be specific to the club - by referring to the club's colours, or perhaps it's by a local band who are fans, as it is when Man City supporters sing Wonderwall by Oasis.

Whether the song is an all-time classic outside of football is hardly a consideration, but there are times when truly great tracks become part of terrace culture - adapted, or sung with original lyrics. As the season reaches its climax, here's a list of what we think are the 10 best - in no particular order.

1. Mrs Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel
 

We're starting, of course, with Leicester - the city that gave us, for better or worse,Showaddywaddy, Kasabian, Mark 'Return of the Mack' Morrison and Engelbert Humperdinck, and whose club every neutral wants to win the league. They've complemented their incredible season with fine singing of some great tracks. Brilliantly, the chorus from the Domenico Modugno song, Volare, which Dean Martin covered, has been flipped into an ode for manager Claudio Ranieri ("Ranieri, Ranieri, he came from Italy, to manage the City") and, further proving that Leicester fans have good taste in music, striker Leonardo Ulloa gets a chant too ("Oh, his name is Leonardo, Leicester's number 23, yes he cost a f****** fortune, but he scores goals so that's alright with me") set, roughly, to Bad Moon Rising by top US psych-rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival.

For this list, though, we're picking Simon & Garfunkel's Mrs Robinson from their 1968 album Bookends and also the film The Graduate. Leicester use the song in praise of their star midfielder - "Here's to you, Danny Drinkwater, Leicester loves you more than you will know" - but it's a terrace classic, used by many other clubs in similar ways.

As an adaptation to our leo chant which most love..i'd like to see something along the lines of;

Ohhhhh his name is riyad mahrez

Leicesters number 26

Yesss he was a f****** bargain

He'll score or set up goals with silky tricks

Last night this sounded great, even though I was singing it almost on my own and after a shandy or two.

Fat boy slim Praise you

"We've come along long way together

Through the hard times and the good

I have to celebrate you Jeffery

I have to praise you Jeffery Schlupp"

This came to me whilst watching the Swansea game yesterday, to the tune of an obvious U2 classic. However I'm hopeful it will lose its relevance this week ! :

 

With or without you

With or without you

Jamie Vardy

We'll win the league

With or without you
