Quick question, how many of our songs and chants are our own? I've heard the "Toni Martinez"/"Richardinho" and "ain't nobody like Chey Dunkley" a few times on tele and was wondering if any of them originated with us or did we use them from elsewhere?

Yellow submarine the only one I know we can claim. Older fans can probably find a song unique to us.

Was sung by everyone I can remember in the 80s.... Some songs that are totally non PC What shall we do with the Argentinians..... Come see the blue light flashing Come on Come on (old gary glitter song) Karma Comelion (come a come a come on you Us) You're going home in a ****ing (or Oxford) ambulance (same as heads kicked in) Harry Roberts he's our friend.... Those are a few off the top of my head that were sung in the 80s not necessarily only us but I can't remember many if any other fans singing them

Our chants are generally generic and boring!

Yellow Submarine... it has run for a long time and stood the test of moving etc. With effort we could make it like Delilah at Stoke.

Ryan Ledsons Sweet Dreams song is totally original for football chants, so we've got that and Yellow Submarine. Original songs that no other club has sung before, or adopting a chant never sung in this country before is always best, but also the hardest to create and get going!

We seemed to have a number of unique songs in the 80s, apart from Yellow Submarine, there was the 'We beat Man United...' chant, and the 'we've got the best team in the land' chant that went through the whole side. Don't think either of those were variations from other clubs, unless someone wants to correct me.

"Best team in the land" was popular at many football clubs around that time I think the arrival of players with multi syllable names killed that off! "We beat Man United" was unique & devised at the same time as Yellow Sub but faded away and never bridged the gap from the Manor to the Kassam.
Yellow Submarine it is.
With gusto.
And somebody leading who knows the right words!

"We all live on a Proddy housing scheme" The scousers make the most up. A couple of clubs claim to have invented the Manfred Mann song "The Mighty Quinn" sung about Micky Quinn. But i first heard it in the 60s at Anfield,it was sung about Emlyn Hughes," you ain't seen nothing like the mighty Emlyn"

Chants that remind me of first going to watch Oxford in the 90s but are no more:
She fell over
The referee's a w*nker
You're going home in the back of an ambulance
Come on come one Oxford (to the tune of, erm, Gary Glitter)
He's the meanest... (which is a genuinely strange chant)
Anymore?

The Barry Fry song was a good one Also liked the Andy Whing/Max Branning song, although that stopped and the generic we want a team of Andy whings unfortunately started

Used to make me laugh.

You may well have been one of them! I always used to giggle at "He's bald! He's scouse! He'll rob you're f***ing house! Steve McMahon, Steve McMahon..." Given the current geopolitical climate, perhaps I might suggest we have a chorus of "I would rather nuke Sw*ndon than Korea..."
