Liquidator return?!

[OLDGOLD]

I love the liquidator and it will always have a place in my heart, but in some ways it is sad that we haven't moved on and got a few more contemporary tunes.

As for Slade, cmon feel the noise is great, but I reckon Far far away is better. One of those songs like sunshine on Leith could be really personal to one club, and always has me wondering who is chopping onions again....

 

[bully9]

Bring back the corner shop song! With maybe more woke friendly lyrics.

Buy a coffee shop now, sell some pride themed travel mugs… £9.53…

Ah… everything I loved is ruined.

That should of read Bring back the corner shop song , if it offends doh listen

[Norway Wolves]

Reason is it’s still allowed at other clubs? If it was banned everywhere else it wouldn’t be mentioned.

Also it's not a case of getting over it. But it was so good, the experience so memorable that people still think about it. That in itself speaks volumes.

We haven't moved on because we can't replace the experience. So why not get it back.

 

[RutlandWolf]

Yep I was there for that along with pretty much every home game in the 90s, the bad far outweighed the good.

Oldham away in 1997. The home DJ obviously didn't do their homework and played the liquidator. Cue bedlam in the away end and sides which was actually about two thirds of the total crowd!

 

[TheConcourse]

It quite literally blows my mind that people get offended by swearing.

Is that when he took it off half way through having realised his error?

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

There's a whole discussion that probably isn't going to work here based on this. There's no way I'd have got away with swearing as a kid, my Mum wasn't happy with knackered! However homophobic stuff was run of the mill (and racist stuff was common in many households). I'd certainly say it's an improvement that we've reversed those sensibilities.

 

[Lisas Husband]

Na not having that , my lads 12 and he knows the liquidator

They all knew it, but didn't get the deep rooted meaning it meant to the older fans. That's all. Maybe the beer helped but we changed to quite noisy when it came on. They've grown up with Hi Ho.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

81.8% SAID YES TO BRINGING IT BACK ARE YOU WATCHING JEFF

 

[Wolves Heathen]

I always thought it was better than the Liquidator, as folk are saying the Liquidator is used now by many clubs, sure the Mighty Wolves should have their own anthem,

My all time football favourite is this, and sure i heard one or both brothers were a Wolves fans.
not sure "Sunshine on Tame". will take off tho lol

Thats is simply amazing..

 

[Huyton W88lvo]

Unfortunately I think Chelsea own it now after all these years

 

[Bradmore Wolf]

81.8% SAID YES TO BRINGING IT BACK ARE YOU WATCHING JEFF

Or 207 people lol

 

[Lou Pine]

Thats is simply amazing..

It really is. I’ve always liked Hibs but seeing this a few years back cemented them as my Scottish club.

It just proves what can be achieved with a decent song choice over a tannoy. Over to you Wolves…

 

[superwolves]

All our songs get started by hearing other clubs singing a certain song on TV or wherever then slightly changing the words to fit our team or player. The fans by then know the tune etc. We need a way to be able to get our own songs going. How you do that im not sure. Some might say sing it at an away ground in the pub and if its good then enough will join in. We need an anthem associated to our team. The atmosphere and crowd participation is what football and sport is all about

This is still a process that mystifies me. As my wife will testify I do watch the occasional TV game, but I swear I'd never heard the Cunha 'song' until we sang it (at Villa?) now I seem to hear it in every game I watch on TV. I have no idea how that is possible!

 

[superwolves]

Arsenal have been singing it about saliba for ages

 

[chignalwolf]

The club should treat us like grown ups. We'll swear, and they should still keep playing it. It's football not polo. The Wolves' liquidator (the one we remember from the 90s) has to have the anti **** bit.

The hypocritical sanitisation of our game ****es me off - what's worse, telling the our neighbours to do one in industrial language, or... a grown man (or woman) faking injury to cheat, VA ****ing R that no one sane wants, paying players in a week more than most earn in a decade, pricing loyal fans out of the game, sportswashing, betting companies on shirts, etc etc.

I couldn't agree more lostwolf, trouble today is the game has been moved on from being a working class game,
and as you say "Double standards at its worse,"

 

[wulfie88]

I posted this after the Chelsea game . I still remember bouncing around on the old North Bank in the seventies when this played.

Remember it well.

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Unfortunately I think Chelsea own it now after all these years

If so it should be sold and the money sent to the Ukraine.

 

[Rhoswolf]

"**** off Moxey The Wolves!"

Shi would accept that imo

Now now don't upset @Hot Fuss

 

[Oldskooldayz]

Was great in the day on the south bank, we made a real noise and it got us all riled up for the game. It's been so long now I doubt it would have the same effect as most have stopped going.

It's not time to move on we already have and west midlands police have already made it clear about being played again

 

[TheConcourse]

Arsenal have been singing it about saliba for ages

Brighton kicked it off with Bissouma waaaaay before Arsenal too.

 

[Eastyorksyeltz]

If we want something that brings a chill to the opposition and unites the pack, why not a concerted wolf howl? Imagine the sound. I've never understood why we don't ?

As has been said already, WMP gave advice, nothing more.

As to whether the babbies would get it, it's two lines FFS... it's not like bringing back 'it's a grand old team'. Which we need to do by the way...

Oh it's a grand old team to play for
Oh it's a grand old team to see
And if, you know, you history
Oh it's enough to make your heart go oooh
We don't care what the Albion say
Why the **** should we care
Cos we only know that there's gonna be a show
And the Wolverhampton Wanderers will be there etc.

 

[Pengwern]

Jeff Beck would be upset if he was alive

I have read about the molineux howl from the old days in the "I Love To Go a Wandering" book.

 

[ricki herberts moustache]

As an aside, when did fans stop singing the "here we go here we go here we go..." chant?

Isn’t that a Rangers song, when did Wolves sing it?

 

[lostwolf]

Spurs, Celtic and Everton sing it. We used to but way back. Just an example of a lost more complicated song...

 

[WickedWolfie]

Isn’t that a Rangers song, when did Wolves sing it?

Back in the 60s/early 70s.

 

[1972 i began]

Owd cow shed song from the early 70s

If you go down to the woods today
You’ll be in for a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You’ll hardly believe your eyes
For Jeremy the sugar puffs bear
Has bought some dockers
And cropped his hair
Todays the day that Jeremy
Joined the skinheads.

Those were the days my friends.

Despite the fact that the seventies were a bit wild, I'm sure that the "**** off West Brom" chant wasn't added until much later. Can anyone date it?!

I'm also sure that when I started going in the seventies, we actually came out to "The Happy Wanderer"

Yes you're quite right . The swearing started I think in the eighties. The Happy Wanderer was played when the teams ran out throughout the sixties and seventies.

I can’t remember what was played in ‘88-89 season when I started. It may well have been Happy Wanderer then, I think it was played at some point when I first went. Maybe an instrumental version? Not sure.

I know they definitely played Simply the Best for the ball boys! I hate that song.

I don’t think I heard The Liquidator played at Molineux until we played Villa in the league cup the following season. I may be wrong though. Even then I don’t think the swearing was too noticeable to my young ears, think that came later. I think the loud swearing came in the Hayward redevelopment era.

For any fans of The Happy Wanderer (if there are any) there’s a folky version by Bill Squires that’s a bit of an easier listen to whoever the original is by!

That's the thing, it's not even a traditional Wolves song yet how many get misty eyed over it

Must be those reminders of Endsleigh League Division One midtable obscurity

Ah those were the days

 

[superwolves]

But those division 3 4 days were the best times you used to make your own entertainment with fun chants etc. Knee's up mother brown. You just get over it then the bloke behind you starts the du du du du and your off again
