Never liked Sweet Caroline being played after home wins, and for two reasons 1) the lyrics , except 'Sweet Caroline ' (and da, da, da!!!)* , are not memorable, nor do they 'flow' 2) its a song used by other clubs, so not unique to OUFC Maybe, When You're Smiling , or, Those Were The Days should be reconsidered, BOTH were London Road favorites (early- mid 70s) and neither are linked to any other football club *My ST holding Dad, in his 80s, DOES like it, though only ever joins in with the Sweet Caroline , and Da da da parts.

I like the idea of a song being retired. As someone else said, Sweet Caroline belongs to the Appleton years. Similarly that Kings of Leon song is from our time in the conference. Also football fans do tend to adopt the same songs / tunes / chants around the country so that isn't necessarily a reason not to use the same ones.

A lot of hands touching hands ? She just went da da da apparently... I can't even confess to making her scream but she didn't laugh during the experience so that's something...

You actually sing it with real words or are we talking about the da da da bit? SC, a few of other words and a lot of da das das - if it came to it, I'd vote against.
