Songs That Remind You of Wolves

[Axle]

As another season draws to an end, it's time to reminisce.

In this thread we share the songs that remind us of Wolves, past present and future.

For me (and I'm open to a whole spectrum of abuse here!) It's 'I've Been Thinking About You' by London Beat. Walking into the South Bank and hearing the opening lyrics, seeing the verdant grass, but the dilapidated stands, before seeing Bully and Thommo come out sums up my relationship with Wolves back then:

I must have been stone crazy
When we thought we were just friends
Cos I miss you baby
And I got those feelings again

If you want to see the video it's here (love that 80s / 90s crossover):

This is the essence of following Wolves for me, that you go back and you keep loving them no matter what. It's easier (in a way) now, but back then, it was really like a twisted romance, you want to leave them, but you love them too much.

What's the song that reminds you of Wolves?

 

[Jonny De Wolf]

The Only way is up by Yazz & the plastic population
Always think of Wolves when I hear that
Real gone kid by Deacon Blue always makes me chuckle after it was once played at halftime at the wrong speed

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

I always smile when I hear Simply the Best by Tina Turner. It always amused me when the ball boys ran out to it 10 minutes before kick off back in the 80s.

Up until 2 years ago, I would serenade myself all the way back to Sheffield with ‘One Day Like This’ by Elbow. Turns out we’re entitled to more than one each year though

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Rocking All Over The World

Not a 'song'

 

[TettenhallWolf]

Immigrant Song, every time

 

[we8wba]

I feel good

Used be goal music as a kid

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

 

[Staten Island Wolf]

Day Dream believer the Monkees
It was about 1970 and I was sitting on the terrace in the South bank at a reserves match. A hot sunny day with about
1500 in attendance. I love that song, and I always think of that special sunny day when i hear it.

 

[Right Sider]

Bruce Hornsby and the Range - That's the way it is.
It was played over the 'highlights' on Football Focus of Chorley (a)

Couldn't hear over the angst of 100k wolves fans

 

[Pagey]

You watched the ****ing highlights

 

[Scott in the Sand]

Things can only get better....

 

[Sheffield Wolf]

There were no highlights, not from our point of view anyway.

 

[Baboon]

The Impossible Dream (sorry Pumpking!)

 

[Macman]

Rasputin by Boney M.

"Rar, rar, Rafferty, why didn't you score for me?... It was a shame that you hit the bar."

 

[Tring Wolf]

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir

Until FOSUN turned up:

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Liquidator. Got really ****ed off when Chelsea played it last night. I'd love it to be played back at Molineux but I suppose the swearing at the Albion does not quite fit with the new Fosun image!

 

[Norman Bell]

BBC 4 have repeats of Top of the Pops and currently it is at November 1987. The Wolves connection is the records that I remember that seemed to be played at every home game in that season of 87/88 I attended were the Bee Gees " You win again " and T'Pau with " China in your hand ". Each time I hear those records it brings back great memories of an era that until Fosun arrived I thought I would never experience again.

 

[quirky_birky]

Annie's Song will always remind me of the Play Off Final in Cardiff.

 

[Shergar]

 

[Hall Green Wolf]

Back in about '88 I recall them playing George Harrison's 'Got my mind set on you' on a regular basis, then plenty of plays of 'in private' by Dusty Springfield in around 1990.
- I think they used to say at the time records were provided by Ruby Red Records in Wolverhampton.

 

[Jamwolf]

Why do you have to be a Heartbreaker - Dionne Warwick.

 

[Rusty Staples]

Hay Doog.

 

[Golden Oldie]

It was - Those Were The Days
But now - Mr Blue Sky

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Simply the Best.

Those were the days.

Wonder of You.

They are the 3 I most associate with Wolves. Every single one of them never fails to give me goosebumps whenever I hear it. Rule the world by tears for fears was very close to joining this elite list until some moron decided to play it as we were walking out from Wembley a few weeks back. Completely ruined my memory of that song now.

Can’t believe some people have mentioned the likes of Win again, T’Pau, and Yazz. So, so true. All courtesy of Ruby Red records. That’s brought back so many memories of an absolutely fantastic era. There really is nothing like music for instantly transporting you to a place or time you seemingly had completely forgot about.

Wonder of you

This one for me


And for some reason, You were always on my mind by the Pet Shop Boys

Always seemed to be playing when I got into the ground in the 90s when I used to go with my old man

 

[Tonesterwolf]

Got a Now Ibiza CD which has Cafe Del Mar on it which my kids love me playing in the car to remind them of the feeling when the teams come out.
Like others always think of the ball boys running on the pitch for a wave when hearing Simply the Best.
Pretty sure Take My Breath Away by Berlin from Top Gun was played every half time for a while in the 80s.

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

Ruby Red Records, spent hours in there as kid in the mid 80’s Buying loads of Hip Hop tunes.....Good times.

 

[sheffwolf]

Thursday watch the Wolves instead....

 

[sheffwolf]

Great song - and great name!!

 

[steve vena]

The immigrants song..... Zepp of course.

 

[E is for idiot.]

It's Hi Ho Silver Lining for me. It's the one pretty much constant that I can remember from my youth up until now.

 

[Shirtliffs shinpads]

I remember from the early 90s at the Molineux

Big scary animal, Belinda Carlisle
you're history, Shakespeare's sister
Dirty son of a gun, JX

As for highlights

Life of Riley, Lightening Seeds
Little Britain, Dreadzone
Crockett's theme, Jan Hammer

Sky Sports

Alive and Kicking, Simple Minds

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

Copeland’s ‘Fanfare for the Common Man’ and Elvis’ ‘The Wonder of Wolves’

Hearing either I’m instantly at Molineux... fantastic!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

It's Hi Ho Silver Lining for me. It's the one pretty much constant that I can remember from my youth up until now.

Christ, how did I forget to mention that one! Probably number one for me.

 

[Strats]

My late Mother always said that Cracklin' Rosie by Neil Diamond always reminded her of Molineux whenever she heard it.

For me, it would more likely be the aforementioned Zepplin tracks or Slades Cum on feel the noize.

 

[Shirtliffs shinpads]

Anyone remember goals highlights from central check this out, you won't recognise it instantly so skip to half way if you gotta

 

[The Professional]

The Cars with Drive, always reminds me of driving home with my Dad from games in winter when it was cold and dark in the 80’s. For some reason it got played on whatever radio station we listened to a good few times. Miss him.
