Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like "Everywhere we go"... it's a horribly contagious earworm virus, and it's pretty much perfect as a terrace chant... easily recognisable intro that's just the right length so it can catch on, requires no great singing ability so easier for someone to start, two-syllable customisable team reference, no complicated lyrics to learn, short and repeatable so it can build and fade quickly.
It's too good, therefore it's everywhere. Victim of its own success. Think I first heard it at the York City game, but I think the Kop was singing it then too, so it must be older than that. But perhaps not that much older?
