Strange as it may seem, whenever I hear "Yazz - the only way is up" it always reminds me of my boyhood matchday experience during the late 80's. Every home game without fail this song would be blazing out of the tannoy just around that time when the East Terracing was filling up and the players were returning to the dressing room after their pre-match warm up.
Does anyone else from the 80's remember "Yazz - the only way is up" being one of the songs that was pumped out of the Easter Road tannoy?
What music reminds you of your Hibs matchday experience?

My childhood memory is Red Red Wine......at Tynie. I remember sitting in the old centre stand for Derbies with my old man, it was mixed in those days and the local Merricks singing 'green green slime' at us. Despised the ***** ever since

I can't find "I Love You". Do you mean "I Love Her"? Originally Posted by HIBERNIAN-0762

Think it was Hibs Aberdeen not long after he died, one the more emotional moments. Played before the game and the sound of the "gie the baw to reilly" chant was deafening. Originally Posted by BILLYHIBS

Late 80's / early 90s, you could guarantee hearing the following on the tannoy:
- Groove Is in the Heart, Deee-Lite
- I don't want a lover, Texas
- Jive Bunny!
Teenage Kicks definitely reminds me of the Mowbray Era.
Besides Sunshine on Leith, I think Chelsea Dagger was played at the end of our 2007 League Cup Final win.
And of course, again apart from SoL, Freed from Desire will forever be the celebration song associated with that glorious day in 2016.

Not the first game I ever attended but the first game I went to on my own...
For some bizarre reason I vividly remember the song being played over the tannoy when I took my place on the old east terracing was 'one day at a time', sung by Lena Martel.

Angel fingers by Wizzard. Seemed to be the only single played for a couple of seasons in the 70s

Everytime I hear this song (Downtown) I am still an eleven year old boy returning back to Edinburgh from Dundee victorious listening to Downtown on the radio in my dad's car after a 2-1 victory secured by Steve Archibald. Originally Posted by eastterrace

This song will forever remind me of driving through hordes of Hearts fans on Gorgie Road blazing Heartbeatz out of the window of my green Citroen Saxo whilst chanting out of the window alternate lyrics "I'm a Hibee, I'm a Hibee, I'm a Hibee". My girlfriend of the time was in the passenger seat and was in hysterics.
