Afternoon all. Well, a few recent reminiscences on here have once again fired my imagination...and I'm thinking Fan Fayre Volume 2 should be a 'thing'.
This time around though, I want more participation with ideas from you guys - a possible communal singalong to be recorded (filmed?) and some Musical guests.
I want a heavier album this time around, tentative title 'Rock the Rams'?
Thunderstruck probably the lead track. Already had some ideas floated such as 'Eye of the Vydra' and as I have the services of Lindisfarne's fiddle player to call on, maybe a version of 'the Devil went down to Georgia' - a lot of lyrical possibilities there! I'm hoping to write at least a couple of originals too, mainly because the licensing is expensive for published works.
What I need from you guys is;
1) Feedback: Is it a good idea, would you support it?
2) Song/story/subject ideas
Let's do this! \m/
I'm putting the band back together...

Rather a moot point considering the 2016 league rule change regarding loans, but with apologies to Bad Manners:
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Listen to the South Stand, not using their seats
Listen to the South Stand bouncing on their feet
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Sitting in the North Stand, eating prawn sarnies
Wishing that we still had Chris Porter n’ Luke Varney
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Listen to the South Stand, not using their seats
Listen to the South Stand bouncing on their feet
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading
Bring back Chrissy, ah bring back Chrissy, from the Reading

This ain't a song for the sad weak-hearted
Those who gave it up before they started
Since we were young, we've wanted more
When we get it You can hear us roar!
We're the Rams! It's now or never!
Don't have time to wait forever
Back into the Prem while Cat's alive!
(C'mon you Rams!)
We're the Rams! We stand together
On and up like Hell for Leather
All the rest, you'd best just stand aside
(Super Rams!)

Why do I have a mental image of Cat which resembles Suzy Quattro?

nice idea Moj.... here's my contribution, shamelessly adapted from ELO's 'Calling America'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somebody told her that there was a place so sound
Across the Derwent - Pride Park football ground
Yeah, we’re watching in
In our favourite place
And pretty soon she's really got the notion
Of coming down to live through the emotion
Yeah, we’re watching in
In our favourite place
Watching’s cheap on satellite
But all I get is prem league big 4
Pundit Blah blah – advert break
Watching Super-Rams (Black & white through & through)
Watching Super-Rams (that's what we want to do)
Watching Super-Rams (that's where I have to be)
Watching Super-Rams (the only thing for me)
Watching Super-Rams
But I'm just hoping for a Derby goal
the bulging net really fills my soul
Yeah, we’re watching in
In our favourite place
We’re gonna keep another clean sheet
bound to happen – even when forest cheat
Yeah, we’re watching in
In our favourite place (In our favourite place)
We’re just so good at keeping the ball
No one can touch us, no one at all
Gary Rowett can do no wrong
The unbeaten run goes on and on
Watching Super-Rams (Black & white through & through)
Watching Super-Rams (that's what we want to do)
Watching Super-Rams (that's where I have to be)
Watching Super-Rams (the only thing for me)
Watching Super-Rams
To win promotion is our aim
another chapter in Derby’s fame
Yeah, we’re watching in
In our favourite place
Watching Super-Rams (Black & white through & through)
Watching Super-Rams (that's what we want to do)
Watching Super-Rams (that's where I have to be)
Watching Super-Rams (the only thing for me)
Watching Super-Rams
Watching Super-Rams
Watching Super-Rams
Watching Super-Rams

Another good one Melbourne
Cat must be more famous than Suzi. I know Suzi and have worked with her - but I've never met the legend that is Cat.
