Reading FC - this is embarrasing

[bobby1413]

Sorry I actually like it and while there is a certain amount of cringeness brought on by the fact it's the corporate arm of the club doing it, at least it shows they care enough to do something that will increase the GLOBAL brand

Still need THE FANS to pick up on something by way of a club song though...

[Silver Fox]

I can't believe this, it is humiliating.

I couldn't even watch the whole 4 mins, I was shouting PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!

Makes us look like MUPPETS

Get yourself some self esteem m8

[Stuka]

I honestly couldn't care less about this song. It simply doesn't impact in anyway my enjoyment and support for RFC

[Lenny The Tramp]

It's not quite World in Motion.

However, no song will EVER top this beauty from Mr Kevin Girdler …

Interesting Modding.

Merge the two threads, have my name as the OP, but leave the whingeing title from the much later thread as the main title.

I like it. There's much.much worse football songs about.

Just the way the forum works. It gets the topic starter from the oldest post and the title from the thread which received the merge.

Well Paddy Power like it. So that's good.

Then surely it makes sense to merge the newest into the oldest.

Um, I think this thread started out with us all joking that we loved the song, but now it seems that some people actually do.
.

Look, the song is absolutely sh1tawful and Im never going to buy it, but I like it nonetheless. Its stupid and a bit insane - whats not to like? Its way more entertaining than the last two years of discussing if we should buy championship player #102, for half a million quid 7 days before transfer deadline day. Its up there with putting the skull on the shirt if you ask me.

The one in the wrong forum was merged with the one in the correct forum.

It's all over the media. Typical descriptions are "Cheesy", "Cringe-worthy", "Excruciating", "Atrocious" and "possibly the worst video ever"

Ouch

[Schards#2]

I think it shows a touching naivety on the part of our owners and is good for the LOLs, even if it's on us.

Anyone who is genuinely embarrassed or concerned in any way about what fans of other clubs think or say need to get a grip tbh. Who gives a toss?

We Are The Royals

Verse 1

We started when all the odds defied us
Through passion and dreams we reached new heights
We were marching proudly from Elm Park into the stadium
We forced our rivals to make way

Pre chorus

Now we’re here and we’re strong, we’re going to bring it on
Can you hear when we shout come on

Chorus

We will fight til the end, they call us the Royals
With our might we’ll defend, the glory of Reading
Like the kings of our land, they call us the Royals
Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals

Verse 2

We rise to the challenge of our rivals
We’re fighting the butterflies tonight
It’s our moment, feel the expectations rising
We smell a victory today

Rap

How we love the thrill of a good game
How we like the smell of the fame
Doesn’t matter if we learn or win
Unstoppably we burn within
Getting ready to shed our sweat
Everybody get ready and set
Let’s celebrate tonight. Or blood is blue our wings are white.

Chant

Blue and white, blue and white, blue and white
Give us blue and white, blue and white. Everybody come on.

A capella

Like the kings of our land. they call us the Royals
Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals

They haven't seen the video yet

[Maguire]

It's absolutely brilliant, I had a smile on my face the entire way through it.

For the first two lines you think it's going to sound all Wind Beneath My Wings but then it just goes mental, brilliant stuff.

[Noggin the Nog]

Good harmless fun! And well produced. Love it!

Expect negative crap from negative crappy people.

[Armadillo Roadkill]

To be honest, I think we're only an afterthought as the audience for this. I think it's designed more to appeal to people in Thailand. I suspect our owners and their media advisors have carefully calibrated it as such - so it may jar a bit on us, but if it helps to finance the fantastic football we're getting at the moment, give me a song sheet on match day and I'll sing along.

Also, knowing other fans are laughing at it makes me kind of like it. They should get over themselves a bit.

[Moonfish]

it got some airtime on national radio today, during the first hour of Greg James' Radio 1 show.



Naturally he took the piss out of it at first, but played it a few more times throughout the show, and even he admitted there was something quite catchy about it! #eurovision2016
