Well, I wasn't sure if this would warrant a separate thread, but it could get interesting.

Caveat: the world according to Danny.

Do:s

1. There She Goes, the La's. Genius by the club. Hearing it before Southampton and then ringing out across the Newcastle skyline was great. Those attending the Bradley Moore gathering may have to perform a deeper baritone version.

2. Spirit Of The Blues. Another great throwback to the '80s.

3. Forever Everton. The first Everton commercial release I remember.

4. We Shall Not Be Moved. One for the cup runs.

5. Marching Down The Goodison Road. Sorry Mark!!


Do not's  (or at least think about it!):

1. If Ya Know Yer 'Istory. For me, time to retire her.

2. Here We Go. Belongs on the concourses.

3. Z-Cars. I know what this means to many, so I won't touch the scred cow… leave her be.


Individual players:

Some great ones have emerged: Illiman Ndiaye, Pickford, even Beto in its simplicity. Keep them coming!!!

Above all, let's be Everton, let's be unique.

Forever Everton - written by a Manc, great song though. I saw Graham Gouldman a little while back - he didn't play the song, went with all those well known chart hits he wrote instead!

All Together Now never gets an airing, maybe because Ingerlund subsequently did a version of it.

Here we go. 1985 Cup Final. Wogan Show. Grahame Sharp singing in the communal bath after a match when I am convinced he was less than 50% sober.
Ditch

Z Cars. Never - but get rid of the siren.

Definitely keep the siren only louder, not very keen on the tune though.
I dislike the 'we shall not be moved' its got hairs on it now.

Keep 2 & 3 of your do's Danny.

Nice to see you back Danny, I think Z Cars is Gere to stay and you know what? Keep the siren because of exactly where it is. Bramley Moore Dock, the Mersey waterfront, yes, the May blitz. It belongs exactly where it is. Fitting and defiant, a call to arms.
Ditch if you know your history, and Here we go.. keep the rest!

I think we should get rid of the siren. I always thought it was a bit crass but given the current actions of Russia, especially as we have a Ukrainian in our team, it feels totally inappropriate to me

I remember actually watching z cars so it stays, Marching Down The Goodison Road really that is a song for the woman's team now as Bramley Moore dock is no were near Goodison road, the words to Spirit of the Blues need to be changed at the Brighton game I was actually cringing when 'get down to Goodison park ooohh 'was sung. If Ya Know Yer 'Istory is just that history time to move on.

WE HATE BILL SHANKLY AND WE HATE ST.JOHN,

BUT MOST OF ALL WE HATE BIG RON!

These words reflect the sixties anti-icons from the Red Shite.

Surely, some enterprising wordsmith could come up with a new version to those two lines based on today after all we are close enough to hang the koppites one by one from the banks of the Royal Mersey @ BMD!

I will even give a £25 donation to Mister Drone's chosen EFC charity for a winning entry!

Firstly, it's good to hear from Danny I hope everything is well with you. Secondly, made up the La 's are becoming a regular match day tune, great Evertonian and Huyton lad Lee will glad. Match day songs like any kind of music is very selective and as ToffeeWeb readers cover such a large spectrum of society,politics and differening opinions, I would be very surprised if there is much agreement.
