You've got to include the best song that captures the spirit and that would be "Football" from Neil Innes and Eric Idle. I don't know if the album "Rutland Times" ever made it CD but it was one of my favorite vinyl purchases when I was a kid. Here's the lyrics from Idle (thirty years ago and still timeless):
Football
I throw house bricks for The Arsenal
I chuck lead pipe for West Ham
I kick and maim for Chelsea
I kill for Tottenham
I drop bottles for United on the crowd from up above
Yes football is the game that we all love
I razor slash for Sheffield
I cut 'em up for Q.P.R.
I stick nails in 'em for Norwich
For Leeds I slash and scar
For Celtic I throw petrol bombs whenever our teams score
Yes football is the game that we adore
We all love football
Kill rape slash AAH
We all love football
Shoot stab boot AAH
Football is the game that we adore
I hack limbs off for Newcastle
I rape for Luton Town
For the Rangers I kill strangers
And kick police horses down
I set fire to referees who let opponents score
Yes football is the game that we adore
We all love football
Bomb hurt kill AHH
We all love football
Slash Kick maim AHH
Football is the game that we adore
The end.
Aloha,
Michael McCartney
