Agree RedJ, it was hardly 'St Elmo's Fire' was it?

And St Elmos Fire was hardly a classic was it.

No disrespect to OP but how can this be left on topic and Ben Parkinson thread be moved to off topic

Well, simple really. Ben Parkinson being given freedom of Doncaster isn't anything to do with Rovers specifically, or football at all really, whereas this is about a song that's obviously about Rovers and the case makes it obvious that it is.

But Ben has also been a great supporter of Rovers

Maybe so, but the thread is nothing to do with his connection to Rovers.

It still gets loads of plays on the radio and earns him royalties.

Ok see your point

Post by: RoversAlias on August 15, 2017, 05:50:29 pm
World In Motion i definitely the best England song ever made.

But yes, we don't often get good songs from football clubs. The two in my lifetime have been the generic John Parr effort and that "RTID" song, can't remember who put that out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jJRReAQWV8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jJRReAQWV8) Surely the greatest football song in history!  :cool:

John Parr's studio production has had 34,000 views, and my effort has had  nearly 25,000 views despite being recorded in my bedroom on a digital camera.

If I remember rightly, they were on Radio One live from the Keepmoat when the song was out and just changed the lyrics for the occasion.

I'd agree with that 1879.🙂
