Liquidator return?!

[SteveBullsKnee]

It's not music, talking fast with the backing track of someone elses work.

Tell me you’re over 50 without telling me you’re over 50…………… hip hop is the most innovative genre of music in half a century

Just getting fans to sing would be a start!! In the North Bank Upper it is very quiet, more energy in moaning than supporting!! I could deal with that if they put some effort into sing as well as moaning!! What is the bottom of the North Bank like? I can't see down there to know.

 

[Direwolf]

You've blown my mind there. I don't ever remember us actually playing I Do Like to be Beside the Seaside, but if we did are you actually saying it's a better tune than The Liquidator?

Sorry I have misled you your right we never played it we just used to sing it. In the early seventees the end finished with when the brass band plays '**** off West brom' - '**** off West brom' - **** off West brom'... this was repeated in a retort between two groups of fans in the North bank about three or four times.

The Happy Wanderer was a worthy bit of nostalgia by Jack but showed just how dated he and we were in those days. Speaking of which, why on earth do we sing a pretty irrelevant Mary Hopkin 1970s song (written by scouser McCartney) which is constantly looking back to when we WERE a top team ... in the 50s!!??

We used to have songs about US - not the opposition. We had songs for Phil Parkes, Peter Knowles, Hughie McIlmoyle, John Richards, The Doog, Waggy and of course later Steve Bull and co. We briefly nicked a few from other clubs (just like Liverpool nicked 'You'll Never Walk Alone' from Celtic - who adopted it as THEIR anthem first) and changed a few words to fit our players.

We recently had one for Hwang, and of course Moutinho and Neves. But mostly we are restricted to just chanting sometimes name: 'Neto, Neto, Neto, Neto....' Not very imaginative.

AND WHY do we always sing things too fast for anyone to hear the words (see 'Those were the days'...) and just peter out pathetically rather than rising to a crescendo of noise?? Surely the Club could help here? Other clubs allow drum beaters, trumpeters... Couldn't we at least give a helping hand...?

Small point of order sir, those were the days was in fact not written by McCartney, he saw Mary Hopkin on Opportunity knocks and he recommended the song to her, I think it was an American songwriter

Well after writing this I decided to google
Although the song was credited to Eugene Raskin , it was written by Boris Fomin in 1924

Have to find these things out....
Apparently Russian tune by Boris Fomin with English lyrics by American Gene Raskin.

Those Were The Days (song)

“Those Were the Days” is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song “Dorogoi...

House of Pain Jump around would be excellent.

 

[Dorbelflunk]

I miss the rave-tastic tunes of the early FOSUN prem era. I thought they'd be giving out glow sticks by the end.

Would love if they play 20 seconds before the drop on some like this. Get the atmosphere pump for the game

No its not its drum and bass

Well seeing that’s a genre that’s barely made it past the UK I’d dispute that massively

Well I was trying to appeal to those of an age so may well know jump around. I’m fairly sure you’re average wolves fan isn’t listening to a lot of DoJa Cat

 

[DC sits in the NORTHSTAND]

Maybe a bit of Goldie local connection, get our Bev singing on it.

 

[Brockmoorwolf]

really when its roots came essentially from detroit and chicago.

Tell Andy c that... lol

Almost all poplar music started its roots at the bloc partys in the mid to late 70,s as kids moved away from disco and started experimenting with new sounds, new york hip hop chicago house music and detroit techno all evolved around the same time, by the 1980,s it was main stream and each movement has evolved to what we have now. I was big into rap in the mid 80,s even saw public enemy at the hummingbird circa 1988, but acid house soon took over which was a mix of the detroit and chicago scenes, almost all popular music in every nightclub in the present day is derived from that scene.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

No its not its drum and bass

No. I like drum & bass but claiming its more innovative or influential than hip hop over the last 50 years just objectively isn’t true.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

Anyway Mutchy is going to wade into this thread any minute and kill us all.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

We are discussing the liquidator and alternative music to play nothing really wrong with that.

I know all this, but it’s not really relevant to your original point is it?

 

[Rhoswolf]

Voted Yes but changed my mind, should remain in the history of our support, time to move on.

Should add was a major dance classic in my youth over 50 years ago, time to bury it

They are both great & both have a lot of innovation, it's all subjective. Love both.

Get Goldie to remix high ho with the liquidator, our Bev singing High ho Wolverhampton? Then mixing into the start of the liquidator with a drum & bass twist. Anyone know Goldie?

It may well be innovative in a way.

I’ve worked at a young offenders and now a high security adult prison and know first hand how some of the violent and anti social innovative lyrics and artists influence young people.

For nearly a century genres of “new music” has been blamed for the breakdown of youth society

30’s and 40s it was the blues
50s Rock n Roll
70s Punk
90s Hip Hop

That’s without chucking in death metal, Rave scene etc.

It’s just a lazy way to blame disenchanted youths normally from impoverished backgrounds for anything and everything

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Maybe Everton should start playing The Liquidator in preparation for their takeover falling through?

I have seen Goldie at a wolves game. One of the BCD games when we played them 5 times in a season, he was at the play off home game. Bizarrely drinking in the spoons with some wolves fans of a similar age.

It was defo Goldie I saw in the spoons, I made a point of saying hello on my way out. Maybe the lure of a BCD was too much to turn down lol

I don't doubt you. It's good to know that he keeps in touch with his roots. You can take the man out of Wolvo but.....

 

[lets all have a disco]

A chap I used to go to school with was big mates with Goldie back in the 80s, late 80s.....they used to do the graffiti together.....was for ever getting in trouble.....it was graffiti that original took Goldie to the USA.....me mate stopped at home but still does Graffiti to this day....

 

[DC sits in the NORTHSTAND]

He has an affinity with Wolverhampton & I think has family in the area still. He doesn't have to support Wolves to produce music for Wolves.

Mid 90s there was a youth culture programme called “The Passenger” on channel 4 (my memory might play tricks on me but I think it was on straight after the Word) Was a whole episode about Goldie they went to LA and saw some of his old artwork but they also drove round Wolverhampton and found a lot of his graffiti from back in the day was still up.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Just looked myself aye google great

It's kind of great, the big issue is once you Google something, you get bombarded with ads. I was driving the other day and saw this car I hadn't seen before, a Cadillac Lyriq, so I googled it (like you do), now I'm getting test drive invitations, and Cadillac ads pop up at random times.

 

[SteveBullsKnee]

Just googled it. Programme was actually called Passengers not the Passenger and YouTube has some of the Goldie episode.

It says 1994, so I’d have been 15. I’d have been drinking cider up the park and smoking squidgy black so my memory of it could well have been a bit clouded.
