    I remember many moons ago Fans of lots of clubs had songs that involved spelling out the Club's name.

    Ours was eventually reduced to...


    "H-I-B,
    E-R-N,
    I-A-N...
    ... Hibs!!"


    Maybe I was just easily amused but I thought it was funny.

    We had a spelling one that after the letters went "Hibernian na na na na na na na na na". I liked that one. Also liked the one from the Verdi opera that went "doo doo..." etc. I'm not good at remembering words.

    One that was recent that seems to have died away is 'allez allez au'.

    It really caught on for a while, Killie away in the Scottish was arguably it's finest hour but seems to have disappeared. I can't help but think some of the petty 'some folk aren't pronouncing it properly when they sing it' had something to do with that.

    That's the beauty of discussion. You just never know where it's going to go next

    Ooh to be is a classic though and would be good to hear it regularly again.

    It got an airing in the original stage show of trainspotting IIRC. Not sure if it's included in the more recent ones or not.

    Half of these songs are still sung at every game.

    Not many join in though.

    Always thought it should have been "Good to be" instead of " Ooh to be". Ooh to be sounds like you wish you were a Hibby or would like to be one when you already are one .

    A brief chant which tickled to me way back in the day was "it's black, its blue, it's ******en broke in two, Butcher's leg, Butcher's leg.

    My alltime favourite is; Said Bertie Mee to Bill Shankley.... finishes up with we are the mental Hibees na-na na-na etc." No better Hibs ditty.

    The Roseburn a couple of hours before Edinburgh Derbies kicked off was a place you heard all the old favourites with full gusto. As the crowd heading there got younger a lot of the classics died out a bit in favour of more modern staples.

    I lament the demise of the Dads Army theme 'homage':

    "Who do you think you are kidding Mr Jefferies? When you say you're number one;
    We are the boys from the Leith San-Siro,
    (louder and deeper) We are the boys who f***ed you Seven-Zero"
    Works best when sung with gusto in a deep Welsh Baritone I always find!

    "your going home in a ****ing ambulance" not heard it for a long time.
    These days you're more likely to hear "You're going home in a nostalgic ambiance". It's political correctness gone mad...

    "Hibernian,
    Hibernian,
    Ra! Ra! Ra!"

    "Jingle bells,
    Jingle bells,
    Jingle all the way,
    oh what fun,
    it is to (censored),
    the Hearts on New Years day."

    "Come on have a go
    with the Hi-bees ag-gr-o!"

    Try singing "who's the barsteward in the black" and you'll be up before the beak on racism charges.

    How about "We hate Glasgow Rangers, we hate Sevco too"?

    Gets Celtic off the hook a bit but will annoy the huns that wee bit more.
    How about l. We hated Glasgow Rangers we hate servco too.

    We should definitely bring back some of the old favourites!!! Although 'We hate Glasgow Rangers needs some tweaking following their death (respectfully).

    ....We hated Glasgow Rangers, we hate The Rangers too (they're *****!!!), we hate Hearts and Celtic, but the Hibees we love you
