Thread: Starbuck chants versus Millers originals

  1. #1

    Starbuck chants versus Millers originals

    Following on from the ' worst atmosphere' thread, I just wanted to say how mundane it is when we sing a song that every other club in the country sings. I call these Starbuck- chants.

    The current dirge ' we got super Matty Taylor....etc...Hugill in attack is a classic example of recycled dross- which every club sings, with the names of their own players used .


    The best songs are those that are unique to each club, such as:

    Birmingham- keep right on till the end of the road

    Bristol Rovers- Goodnight Irene

    Stoke- Delilah


    So what songs over the years were unique to the Millers?

    I was born on the railway end

    Tony Towner is one in a million

    Milermen


    Any others?

    Greasy Chip Butty

    Ronnie Moore, Ronnie Moore, Ronnie Ronnie Moore...when he gets the ball (etc)

    Did the Richard Wood song evolve directly from Barnsley's pi$$ take song of Ronnie Moore? (RM is a wonker etc). Was that in itself an original? If so and in a warped way, that was a Millers song

    We've got our own song anyway; New York, New York. But as you say, our fans lack any imagination or gumption whatsoever and never sing it. After 11 years we've still not properly claimed it.

    The GREASY CHIP BUTTY SONG - with conclusive proof that it was penned by a Miller, for the Millers.

    To add insult to injury it wasn't initially stolen by Dee Dahs but by Rotherham Blades. Et tu Brute!

    It's good when you hear opposition fans singing something and you've no idea what they're saying.
    Norwich had a song Saturday which seemed very popular.....not a clue what they were saying.

    Trying to remember the words to the one that started:

    "A A A A, Alan Hill "

    Which ended with the best line I have ever heard at a football match:

    "C C C C. Colin Clish, deedars play like pregnant fish" 🤣
