The original lyrics were: I go down't pub I drink 10 pints get absolutely plastered. Then I go back home and I beat up't wife I'm a big fat northern B*****d! "Comedy duo ?"

Just the feeling I got. Maybe I'm wrong and missing some wider context to it? mate, you are over thinking things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the last time I heard that song was the 93 semi at Wembley which the Blunts were singing about us. Not one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightace Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Imo it is you being too soft as you say. Not something I'd sing but some people enjoy being a bit boisterous and singing below the belt stuff. Harry Roberts in the old days You get it at all clubs. Just let em get on with it I say.

I'm sure the majority of us can agree this is not something we particularly want being associated with Wednesday tbh. Am I just being too soft or does anyone else get this? Did you ever listen to the goon show ??? They,re the same distance from us as we are from them, the cunning devils Do you not know what un PC humour is ??

OWL1969 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Heard it sung many times, thought it was originally sung in reply to opponents chants of "dirty Northern/Yorkshire Barstewards" harmless humour to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
