The question on everybody's mind: How many Allez Allez Aus?

[R'Albin]

We need to come to some sort of a decision on this, some people do three, and some only do two before carrying on "Hibernian FC.... from the capital". It always leaves me so confused as to what part we're at

[wearethehibs]

I mis understood that post. Its defo 3, Alley Alley alley oh.

Its not AliAliAliohhh at 100mph ether ;)

[calumhibee1]

Allez allez allez oh, allez allez allez oh, hibernian fc...

I think that OP was referring to the number of times you sing 'Allez Allez...' before progressing onto 'Hibernian FC...' and the answer is most certainly 2

[Bristolhibby]

Not Clear, I voted three.

But if the OP wanted to know when Hibernian FC comes in its two.

Allez Allez Allez Au
Allez Allez Allez Au
Hibernian FC
From the capital

And sing it like this

not like how it currently gets sung

[JeMeSouviens]

We've really lost the rhythm of this recently. The "Allez"s have been more like "Alley"s.

Clueless' vid has it perfectly:

We seem to sing it in a different key too (which I prefer).

What do you mean they already do?

[MacBean]

Pretty sure the Hibs ST propoganda had 3 Allez', and that's what I sing

This. now it sounds like ally ally ally ally oh, putting four in and also instead of 3 "allez" like it was when it first started...now it's getting sung so quick it's getting a bit distorted, it's not ally ally....

This is correct!

[Makaveli]

It's not the number of times that some folk get mixed up with... it's that "allez" should sound like "allay" (allay your fears) rather than "alley" (what's Rix doing in that alley?)

[DH1875]

Tin hat on but I don't really like it . Much prefer the good old Hi-bees bounce :pfgwa.

[TAHibby]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think it has been progressively been sung more incorrectly as the season goes on. Seems the 'allezs' are too quick and pronounced wrong as said above. I'm very rhythmical so it bugs me big time.

[zosohibee]

This is the best song weve had in a while, shame everybody gets it wrong, not all that hard really. 3 Allez's then au. And its in french so its not "ally" its a-lay a-lay. The second allez is longer as well, people just mong out a few allys to no particular melody and then join in on the HFC FTC bit. There was a drummer in the lower section at tynie also who seemed like he was pished, couldnt keep the beat for *****. Might also post the proper melody on youtube just to keep people right, it can be an awesome one if done right

[nonshinyfinish]

Voted 'three' because I assumed you meant the number of 'allez's before each 'au', but if you meant the number of times that 'allez allez allez au' is repeated before 'Hibernian F.C.'... then obviously two.

Pronunciation: it's all about emphasis - ah-LEZ ah-LEEEZ AH-lez au

And as above, don't sing it too fast either.

Arguing about the intricacies of football chant pronunciation - I love it!

It hasn't sounded like that in a long time! It's definitely in need of some refinement.

[Glory Lurker]

Just sinking a couple of beers with Sauzee and Zitelli at the moment, and they're both complaining that - if we're going to get the French right - it should be "Allez a l'" (with a grave over the "a", of course). I've told them that that just wouldn't scan at all. Tense moments at my bit, I'll tell ya.

[lyonhibs]

Clearly 2. I hope the 50% of people who have voted 3 got confused re: what the OP was asking.

Jings, you're right, aren't you? It is only two. Flip's sake, it's like a trick question.

How many does he Singh though?!! ;-)

[FromTheCapital]

If you're looking at how many 'Allez's' there are in each one there are three.
But, if your looking at how many times Allez Allez Allez Au is repeated, then it is two...

Allez Allez Allez Au,
Allez Allez Allez Au,
Hibernian FC,
From The Capital.

[proud_and_green]

Oh come on, its two times. Never has been three and let's not change that!

I don't understand why there's a vote.

It is 3 'allez's.

pronounced 'al-ay al-ay al-ay auuuuu' and to the beat, not like you're bursting in a queue for the toilets.

alyalyalyoooooooooooalyalyalyoooooalyalyooooooalya lyoooo

I didn't notice people were also using one less 'allez' until the Falkirk game when it was very noticeable.
It's just on of those little irks, I suppose. I bet the Sect43 drummer gets a bit confused when there's allsorts of versions at the same time.

Agreed,

also we need the drummer to keep everyone in time, or perhaps we should have a drummer per stand synchronised and co-ordinated by a conductor projected onto a giant screen in the corner....... ahem.....what was the question?

My mistake OP!

I think others have made the same mistake and misread. I thought you were talking about how many words in each line and not how many lines before 'Hibernian F.C. …..'



The answer in that case would be 2 - which I also don't understand why there'd need to be a poll!
It always has been 2, perhaps the crazy allyallyoos have made it 3 from people picking up the song incorrectly!
Is it that difficult?

[oramhibee]

Voted 3 then realised, it's how many times Allez Allez Allez au should be sung before Hibernian FC...

NOT

How many times we should sing Allez before au!

People need to pronounce the Alez right or we just look stupid.
