Here Comes The Fleet

[Yorkfox]

'Here Come The Fleet' I am told was recorded in 1972 .

 

Does anybody have a copy of it , maybe get it played on the podcast ?

 

How long was it played as the players came out ? , Anybody got the lyrics ?

 

 

[eufckev]

PM me your e-mail and I'll send it to you, with lyrics, no worries.

Lord Chas can give you the lowdown on the song being as he was either co-writer/producer/publisher/bloke who played the glockenspiel/the Yoko Ono of the outfit that recorded it.

 

Maybe on the back of your podcast riding high in the iTunes charts, we could get Chas in the charts. Cheer Cheer Here Come The Fleet reworked by Amy Winehouse.

I said months ago I wanted a top twenty hit :-)

 

Maybe, just maybe.

 

How long ago was it stopped being played as they ran out ?

[Riverview Supporter]

christmas number one?

 

 

[Yorkfox]

nagh, that would be Silly, Sir Cliff has more than 28,000 fans.

 

 

How about in Septemeber ? Seriously though, I read once about how many sales are needed to get in the chart. I will try and dig it up, but 10,000 gets you well in there.

 

Would be well worth doing to make Radio 1 play it in the chart show ! :-)

 

And now a new entry at number 6, LORD Chas with ,,,,,,

Not sure - but wasn't it available in the club shop recently?

[Yorkfox]

Martin Lewis the Money man on TV was involved getting a song in the chart protesting about Bank Charges. Number25 I believe. 15,000 to do anything.

Cant see that happening, but I know from my time at Leicester, I always wanted to hear the post horn gallop as the players came out.

 

It got remade and jazzed up a bit.

 

 

[KIDDIK]

I'd download the song

[PatMan]

Think it might be even easier now to influence a chart entry - esp with official 'downloads' being included

13,000 sales got Goldfrapp to Number 10 this week. To get Top 75 isn't a great deal at all.

Funny you should mention that Yorkfox. The Fleet used to run out to The Post Horn Gallop, in the 50's and early 60's, before Roger "Bling" Easterby became Chairman!

[Yorkfox]

AFF, its a small world :-)

[Jimmy]

Copies still available in the Club Shop for 50p.

[Jeff]

Yorkfox.

We ran out to Cheer Cheer for years and years.

 

Then, for no reason, about 2 or three seasons ago, they stopped playing it and replaced it with the theme from 2001 a space Oddysey or Beautiful Day by U2.

[Jimmy]

I think they should run out to Jeffs personal favourite:

 

Don't Stop Me Now by McFly.

[Jeff]

Don't even go there Jimmy.

I've always been in favour of hearing 'Here Come The Fleet' - after all, what's the use of a club theme if it's never used!

[Lord Horn]

They've just re-introduced Norwich coming out to 'The Canaries' a ditty released in 1972 when the Club won promotion to the old First Division for the first time. This appears to be welcomed by older and younger fans. certainly one for tradition and hope that Here Comes The Fleet soon storms up the itunes chart and is re-introduced. Can I hear it anywhere...youtube???
