Season 2011-12
The Mail Bag
Let's all have a Sing-Song!
32 Comments: Inspired by Ben Howards efforts in "Everton to Finish 4th Shock", I've followed his lead with something to welcome our new arrivals from the terraces.
Here's my effort for Denis ? sung along to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana"...
"His name was Denis - Den Stracqualursi
He was signed by Davey Moyes, to play with the Everton boys
And when he finished, he never missed it
Cus Denis was a star, never hit above the bar
And when the punches flew. The Reds were smashed in two
There was just a single goal?
But just who? scored? it?
It was Denis (DEN!), Den Stracqualursi (STRACQUALURSI!)
The hottest shot north of the Mersey (here!)
And it?s Denis (DEN!), Den Stracqualursi
Footie and passion were always the fashion
At Goodison....they fell in love?.."
Ahem...

From what you're saying, Denis could be like a new singing.

You'll have to hand out song sheets at the next game. I'll never remember all that. Good though!

Hi Mark - excellent, were a bit thin on the ground here so another Blue to swell the numbers is great.
Not sure what the most secure way of getting my mobile and email to you is....?
Maybe the editor can help....?
Either way - I'll see you at some point when you get down here.

Thanks for the name check Mike! For what it's worth I still think my song for Billy was inspired.
To the tune of Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) by the Delfonics
Diniyar blow your mind this time, didn't I, oh
Diniyar blow your mind this time, didn't I
Diniyar do it baby... Diniyar I do it baby
Diniyar do it baby... Diniyar do it baby

Love the sentiment but when did you last hear the crowd sing at Goodison? Think there may be a few expletives flying at the next match though. I like Gavin's efforts but think the metre's not quite right in line 4. Replace "no" with "f*ck all" and it sounds better! I'd be tempted!

Would love to hear that singing out from the terraces. It could happen if Moyes had the balls to play Billy behind the striker (maybe Denis?)

How about a stirring rendition of.
Won't get fooled again. By the Who.
I particularly like the line.
"The men who spurred us on, now sit in judgemeny of our own, they've decided the shotgun sings the songs".

Andy - thats a rubbish chant! It should be more like:
"Curly toes, Curly toes, These threads they curl your toes..."
Was it refering to last seasons infamous pink strip? Must be. Nice one! Well done for entering into the spirit of it things, you're mad you...
