Yes! I think we continued singing it for a whole half. Can’t see the fans managing that these days as they’d be back on Tik Tok within a minute. Proper away days

I was there for that, great memories

@@steveGrace-bm4si I might know you Steve

@@garethjenkins6273 yeah, I hadn’t noticed the posters account name until you replied, I am from Bev Court. It got me thinking about loads of other matches at where the song let everyone know where the main boys were, especially when they headed for sections were the home support was. Hope you doing well, good to hear from you

@steveGrace-bm4si You too, Steve.

yes came out as a single (45) on London label i think

Yep......he even appeared on the Perry Como show in 1959 😎

Arsenal FC folklore history _We're the riders of the night and we'd rather fuck than fight, we're riders of the clock end Highbury._

And it reached Number 4, not bad for a 15 year old. 👍

My grandad played this. Hated it at first. It's actually alright. Best version of the song

@@vilentman111 I've got the 45 and I think it's much better than this which sounds 'tinny'.

All change now mate Hale end boys ripping it up

Gaelic, that's why you don't get it.😟

English

It's English but in a broad Scottish accent. Also, it's long been a thing for pop singers to put strange twists on their pronunciation of certain words so maybe there's some of that going on too.@@johncuffe4076

Well, I know what you mean but I can make out a lot of English so my guess is that the difficulty is because of the broad Scottish accent. "I'm glad, so glad, so-oh gladdd You are here-ere-errre (here) I'm so lucky to be... And no one else but me It's true 'Cos me Got you La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha I feel so fi-ah-ah-ine (fine) Now that you are mi-ah-ah-ine (mine) Now I ti-in-ingle Up and down my spine It's true 'Cos me Got you La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha You're my special angel, My be-bop baby My little bitty pretty beh-abe (babe) You...(something - could it be 'tempt') me with Your (something) loving? Kiss divine(?) I just want baby To be... My silhouette? [Er...what?] Tonight, tonigh-ah-ah-ight We're gonna go-oh-oh-ohhh To the ABC To learn the x, y, zee Of love It's true 'Cos me Got you La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha La-dee-dah Oh boy Let's go Cha-cha-cha!" You're my special angel, My be-bop baby My little bitty pretty beh-abe (babe) You...(something) me with Your (something) loving? Kiss goodnight(?) I just want a baby To be... My silhouette? Tonight, tonigh-ah-ah-ight We're gonna go-oh-oh-ohhh To the ABC And through the x, y, zee Of love It's true 'Cos me Got you, La-dee-dah Oh boy Cha-cha-cha La-dee-dah Oh boy Let's go Cha-cha-cha La-dee=da! Oh boy! [On the single this last bit was sung round and round and faded out.]

Do you understand English?

Neither do I.......and am Scottish 🤣🤣

Pretty sure it's actually Lio singing on this but I think she was credited as "Leo"?
