    That's like thinking, 'my pub team plays football, so why couldn't we win the Champion's League?'

    If many more music snobs moan about it, I think I'll cough up the 99p or whatever to get it :)

    Exactly right. It's like the "Bring Him On For England" song for Le Tiss by the Valley Slags. I mean, it's never going to be a chart botherer, but enjoy it for what it is (and more so the fact there's reason to have one done!)

    Exactly. Being a complete musical snob, I know that the vast majority of popular music is complete dross, designed to fill your ears for a few moments before being forgotten. The exceptions, and there are quite a few, consist mainly, but not entirely, of stuff that I happen to like. Because of what this song is, the people that made it, and the market it is aimed at, I like it.

    It's hardly being a snob. I could argue that it is lame to like anything just because it has a Saints badge on it etc. If I don't like a kit design, then I'll be honest and say I don't like it. If our fans sing an embarrassing chant, again I will say if I don't like it.

    I have no idea why you'd be embarrassed by two people who just happen to support the team making a daft song and giving the proceeds to charity.

    Surely the only way to appreciate something like this is to marvel at how awful it is? Listening to that tune is like biting a lemon-strangely compelling perhaps, but something any sane person would only ever do for a bet.

    Actually i was referring to any song/chant. I've read many people complaining about anti-Pompey songs.

    The charity thing is good of course. I'll throw in a couple of quid if they promise not to play it at St. Mary's :)

    You a Stones Throw guy? I love that stuff, My Vinyl Weighs A Ton is a modern classic.

    Cripes. Just watched the video and the manic nature of it actually made me smile. And that song accompanied it quite well. I think it's actually growing on me. Mind you, it's coming from a long way down. :)

    It makes you smile with it's joie de vivre. Similar songs can be done better, but make you cringe. This is just about love for a team.
