Just got the radio on for the commentary of the West ham vs Liverpool game and London Calling playing in the background. I thought as the Clash had r's associations we should have had this as an exclusive r's song. |  | | |  |

It's been played for years down the Cottage. We do live by the river, after all. |  |

Mick Jones is an R I think he'd like it to be played at LR not at the cottage. |  | | |

West Ham stealing everything. New stadiums, songs, calling their stolen stadium ‘London’ as if they have the sole rights to that. |  | | |

As much as I hate the Premier League I will admit this title race is becoming quite entertaining. Crazy to think just last week when Newcastle beat City the title was over, fast forward a week and now they have a chance to go top, albeit with a game in hand. Even the relegation battle is exciting. Could lead to a good final day, maybe the most exciting since 11/12 |  |

Does he still have a season ticket??? I know he had one for many years. |  | | |

I always liked it as a running-out song: written by an R, there's a specific QPR reference at the end (the opening words of "Singing the blues", faded out because they couldn't get the rights), good ominous but stirring beat: "all the faraway towns" (Preston, Huddersfield...). Oh yeah, and it's a rock classic, not some commercialised pap.
But if we don't want people stealing it maybe we should cherish it and treat it as our own, instead of dumping it for stuff with zero connection to the club. | | | |

I still have the 12 inch vinyl of that track which was double A sided with Armagideon Time. I could never decide which of these very different tracks was the best and they still remain two of my favourite ever Clash tracks. |  | | |

"London calling to the zombies of death..."
An oblique reference to Chelsea fans. Jones had originally wanted the lyric to be "London calling to those cu nts from the Bridge", but CBS and Strummer refused. The impasse led to huge tensions within the band, culminating in the now legendary fight between Jones and Strummer in the Horsham branch of Spud U Like. The fight was broken up by Fulham fan, Ralph McTell, who is also credited with delivering what became known as the 'Zombie compromise" having proposed the alternative lyric. | |

And I thought the Zombies had disbanded long before then!
Isn't London Calling played at every London ground?
Isn't Singing the Blues played at every ground of clubs who play in blue?
The only unique Rangers songs/chants that I can recall (await correcting on these) are:-
My friend Stan
Sorrow (a tribute to Stanley)
Side by Side
Autumn Almanac (the QPR attack)
The chant given to the other teams goalkeeper. | | | |

Sounds like Strummer sings 'Never f elt so much alike alike alike...' at the end to me. |  |

Yes, but that's not the opening line to 'Singing The Blues' [Post edited 5 Feb 2019 12:28]

It was very simple.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the QPR attack. La,la,la etc.
Oh, the QPR attack".
Another part of this song was sang everywhere.
"We go to football on a Saturday.
Kick their f****** heads in. All right" | | | |
