When you're Smiling

[davieG]

Any song would do there’s plenty of crap songs sung at clubs. What is important is getting circa 30 thousands fans singing the same song at the same time that’s what’ll be impressive and motivate the team.

The ‘upbeat‘ Sinatra version would sound stupid at the football

Jersey Budd needs to re-record a faster version tbh, it’s way too slow.

With a special appearance of Jamie Vardy

Only the Jersey Budd version. It's a shame people only join in with that one. Sing it as it's supposed to be sung and the place just sits on it's hands. As normal.

It’s ****ing dogshit couldn’t give a toss if it sounded better back when you watched the game on your grandads shed and you’d save your ration book up for a pie at half time. Uptown funk it up

This forum makes we want to phone The Samaritans more so than watching my team

Awful song, can’t stand it.

God only knows why fans were calling for it to be payed before kick off.

Motivational speech? Get out of here with these foreign concepts, this is Foxes Talk m8.

Because it’s uniquely ours, in a game that is increasingly losing any uniqueness and home support is becoming bland and unoriginal, we’ve got one thing that we do, that no one else does - embrace what is ours.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

This is more apt.

There really is no pleasing some people, about anything.
 

What’s wrong with it? It’s a darn side better than say those crap old cringe songs that Everton play, for example:

There's no chance they'd get a signal in the KP!

[HybridFox]

Bet the same ones complaining are the ones who want their clappers back

Nah, that's a good song. But difference is every Everton fan joins in. You'll Never Walk Alone is fairly slow but sounds incredible because everyone belts it out. Not all the ground joins in for When You're Smiling.

Might get a better response if they played more than 15 seconds of the thing?

Without doubt.

 

They should follow it on from Kasabian as players are coming out. Post Horn Gallop just kills it all for me.

Is this the one that Maddison thought was brilliant?

Disagree, it's great

[Bob Hazels shorts]

'When your smiling' was never meant to be a death march

 

Umpten versions about and sadly the club have opted for the most depressining around as Jersey is 'one of our own' (a bit like picking Barnes weekly)

Bloody ell, it’s a song about hope for goodness sake! 
Those moaning on here are just mardeh who can’t make any alternative suggestions. 
Drop it from before the game, but sing it randomly through the game whether winning or losing and in the pub, sing it loud , do the jazz hands and have fun.

Also, remember the back story of when we started singing it, and chuckle- or be a robot and sing along and do a dad dance to the latest crap tune the media team decide, without consulting the fans, to blast at us through the p a!
