'Oh Glasgow Rangers' - UB new song.

[Pitsea Bear]

Thats chronic! Harry Styles will be keeking himself.

For the army and the navy and R.A.F.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Tough crowd, at least they are trying

Kind of agree.

There seems to be a load of these new songs perhaps too many and certainly many that split opinion.
We've loads of songs.

 

[Phil'ieve]

Oh, Glasgow Rangers,
We will always follow you,
All over Europe, we love you,
Since the year of 72.

Oh, Glasgow Rangers,
We have seen you win and lose,
No matter what we'll be with you,
By your side, we're loyal and true.

Sounds brilliant
Imagine the stadium belting that out on a euro night

 

[bad boy boogie]

That’s a couple of their songs recently they’ve shared that have been absolutely honking. Who actually wrote thinks this is a good idea and people will sing it?

Jagger & richards will be shitting themselves!

 

[Brother Moses]

Sounded absolutely tremendous last night.

 

[WBD]

Sounded absolutely tremendous last night.

We are in agreement. Lyrics are gash but they work. Hopefully catches on

 

[Tamson]

Had this in my head all the way down the road last night. Sounded great

 

[Colinrfc2]

Can't stop singing it in work today, great tune

 

[Est1872]

Loads of people singing it last night and sounded class

In most cases, until these chants are heard with a decent number of voices people should reserve judgement. They always sound better with a decent volumes, if they are shit, they will die off and if decent they will grow.

 

[Canada Bear]

Will never take the place of music, awful.

 

[GazzaLegend]

It is nonsense as it has nothing to do with football or our football club.

Rangers is a football club. Not a political movement.

Believe in and follow whatever you like. Keep the songs at the football about football.

Well there you go! that’s a significant piece of West of Scotland social and cultural history re written in a few short sentences!

Absolutely. Some people can't help themselves though.

Same people will probably be belting it out in a few weeks as it catches on.

 

[Run DMB]

I liked it last night.

Correct. Fortunately some criticise and then come back and say 'do you know what, I got it wrong, it sounds excellent and I joined in' Others just double down

When I read criticism like 'shite, awful.... ' I always think to myself is it the tune, the words, both? I used to ask the question of the poster but I no longer bother. Their minds are made up. It's only the song to be a success that will prove them wrong.

 

[ChernoSamba]

Does it have an original song that the chant is based on? Always like adding obscure tunes to my Spotify when they have Rangers related lyrics.

You need to ask other Ultra group who used it 1st

I agree with your point though, it is amazing when you hear the original sometimes.

 

[theryesider]

I’m out.

This one fascinated me

 

[Camby loyalist]

Loud and proud on my way out shopping in M&S!

Must be good to have money….

 

[Pioneer]

Literally tell chat GPT to come up with Rangers lyrics to a tune and it’ll come up with something better.

Without using "Loyal, follow, blue, true, through and through' ?

 

[Kit_]

Thought the song was crackin today, bears were in fine voice.

 

[Blue_Britain]

What's everyone's thoughts 6 months on??

A lot of haters back then. I quite like it. Ridiculously catchy.

Still rotten imo

Presumed this thread had been bumped as it makes a prominent appearance on away days trailer from Hampden:

 

[Class of 72]

If I say what I think I will be in trouble

 

[bud_light]

It's what would be classed as an album filler

Warmed to it something awful

 

[Ten Ton Tony]

It's absolute shite. Just another one of these nothing, tubeless, soulless drones that get sung by every team across the world that has "ultras". Does nothing to help the atmosphere.

 

[LarkfiedLoyalNS]

Another green brigade number pish.

 

[WeAr3Th3Pe0ple]

Sounds rubbish in the stadium. Sung too low for the stadium to join in, and just drones on. Mind you id rather anything than the constant uvf crap

 

[Talktalk]

Followed a team before it was founded? Impressive

What 2012 ?

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Waiting for RFCScottRFC's opinion on this one.

 

[G74Bear]

No looking foward to that drum in the Copland next season

 

[Mad John]

Mince

 

[Scotty_boy90]

I'm a fan of the union bears however this song is awful.

 

[S English]

There have been some shocking new songs recently, this may be the worst of the lot

 

[Overanout]

Sounded great in the west at Hampden.

This popped up on my Youtube feed.
What a great song. It translates roughly to, despite everything and anyone, we are still here.
Pretty much sums up Rangers and would be great for one of our musically minded to put our words to it.

That sounds class

 

[SuperA II]

Love it

 

[Buzz07]

That sounds class

It could be class with our own words and a full Ibrox singing it.

Unbowed, unbroken and still here.

 

[SchalkeSchotte]

I'm joining this discussion late but as I have been living in Germany for 24 years I don't pick up on all the latest songs and chants as quickly as I used to. I believe the tune here comes from a 1998 number 1 hit in Germany by soft punk band Die Ärzte (The Doctors) called Männer Sind Schweine (Men are pigs) - an ironic song, sung by men, about men only wanting one thing. This makes sense if the tune was copied from the singing of Ballspielverein Borussia fans. As I don't keep the company of BVB fans then I couldn't verify this. I can only confirm that this particular tune has never ever been used for a Schalke song.

Sounds great but where would the "na na na na na na na" fit and how would we get a ridiculous drumbeat added ?

Class, from the 1st time I heard the Wales fans sing it I had to find out what it was.

If someone wrote Rangers lyrics, the usual criticism would be that's too many words to remember a stand alone chorus wouldn't have the same impact in my opinion

We're the Rangers FC
We're the Rangers FC
And we will stand together
A strength that will not wither
Our club will be forever
We're the Rangers FC....

Good start mate. We need more of our Wordsmiths to get involved

I thought 1st reply would be Brother Moses with his standard 'pish' comment
