Last Wham lyrics revealed

Greetings Comrades

Most people think Andrew Ridgley became a surf bum in Cornwall after Wham split up ..turns out that's nonsense and that he became a fisheries support officer . It's not all quotas and he's quite the expert on white fish which I found out when I bumped into him at George's Tradition chippy in Belper . Apparently he advises them on sustainable fish choices and whether Hake will ever take off.

He needed some money to pay for fuel for his Nissan Juke at the adjoining petrol station and like a fool I agreed to lend him a tenner . Best decision I ever made !as in exchange he gave me the last lyrics that he'd been working on with his old mate George Michael . Turns out the late crooner and pot plant aficionado was a closet Rams fan!

It's a bit hard to read cause it's written on the outside of a potato sack. Andy said Rams fans were welcome to sing it to the tune of Wham Rap

Wham Ram!
Andy Weimann
Playing on the wing
He makes the Rams fan sing
(Repeat till he scores)

Looks like a work in progress to me .. a bit like Weimann .. so feel free to suggest rewrites

I heard rumours that George Michael was a big Rams fan and if you dissect his lyrics carefully, there are subtle and implicit references to the 1946 Cup Final, the league titles in '72 and '75, Docherty and Mrs Brown and the play-off final in 2007.

I had a mate at Uni who went to school with George Michael and he said George was an utter to55er. I find it hard to believe he was a Derby fan and I this whole story feels somewhat implausible. The lyrics are magnificent though. Maybe substitute “fans” for “fan” in the final line.

Also my mate played me the original demo version of “Club Tropicana”, penned apparently after a visit to the City Ground:



Fortress Flamingo, seats empty
Fun and sunshine, you must be effing joking
