When You’re Smiling 2022-23
2022/23
Time to pull out an old classic and get it to stick?
When you’re smiling,
When you’re smiling,
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughing,
When you're laughing,
The sun comes shining through.
But when you're crying you bring on the rain,
So stop you're crying be happy again,
For when you're smiling,
When you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you…
Na na na na na....

Re: When You’re Smiling
We could do a lot worse than establish this as 'our' theme song instead of the awful/dreary 'No Nay Never'

That original thread was peak ClaretsMad, it even had a MIDI-sounding tune to go with it.
Re: When You’re Smiling
Yes, we should get this going as a new anthem. With a repeat at the end of. The whole world smiles with you in Claret and Blue...

Would be ACE if we could have this as our club song and have it played before games.

Re: When You’re Smiling
Best ever song for celebrating a goal and simultaneously taking the p1ss out of the opposition fans.
The little two-hand waves along with 'Na na, Na na na' at the end made the ultimate signing-off.
I too would love to hear it again.
And meanwhile that first pic does say it all!

Re: When You’re Smiling
If we could get the club to play that and simultaneously show a montage of smiling players (and fans too) on the big screen it would be fantastic imo.

Re: When You’re Smiling
No nay never is pretty dull and it's not exactly euphoric. Best chant just after goal celebrations had just settled down was um pa pa um pa pa um pa pa um pa pa. Bring that one back.

Re: When You’re Smiling
Their prematch music certainly backfired in getting the home support going
It was one big party in the away end though

Re: When You’re Smiling
Always liked that song, it reminds me of watching the team in Caspers years (I’d walk a million miles to see one of your goals oh Frankie). Haven’t PNE tried to adopt it though ?
On another … Our Chim Chiminey song could now be adapted to “Samuel Bastiens in Claret and Blue”

Didn’t Charlie Chaplin write this song, if memory serves me well?
Remember it well being belted out back in the old Division One days

I wouldn't mind this as our anthem. But I've always thought "The Air That I Breathe" cover by The Hollies would be better

Re: When You’re Smiling
Wasn’t there a poster on the old forum whose username was Oh When You’re Smiling? Used to mention this song regularly.
It was funny when it came on the Wigan PA system and some of our fans automatically joined it. Must be one of their songs now, but I think it was a Claret staple in the 70’s/80’s?

Please tell me you meant Um Bah Bah (with a B, as in the Malcolm McClaren 1983 hit, Double Dutch from where the chant originated) and not Oom-Pah-Pah (as in The Music Man)?

Re: When You’re Smiling
Ha ha yes, our little baby.
In our youthful innocence, we sang a 'clean' version.
For sometime now it's been the b*stardized version and it's crap.
Now, when you're smiling.......
Alright Ian.

Re: When You’re Smiling
Not really. To be honest I’ve often interchanged Oliver and The Music Man when people say Um Pa Pa. I felt one example was enough. They’re both wrong in terms of what the chant should be, regardless.

It’s the young ones. It used to sound a lot more like manly and deeper back on the Longside.

I know what you mean bud. When they started singing the ‘new’ version the whole point of the song was lost in translation.Juan Tanamera wrote: ↑Mon Aug 29, 2022 10:33 pmHa ha yes, our little baby.

The smiling song required the appropriate waving of hands at the na-na-na bit.

Re: When You’re Smiling
At a similar point of time we came across a more obscure song.about ex Claret Stevie Taylor. It may have been whilst playing for PNE but I recall singing it whilst he was at Burnley and some considerable years after.
It went:
'Stevie Taylor, sucks a horses p*nis, eats chicken gizzards and wears a floppy hat.
He lives in a museum, where everyone can see him.
Stevie Taylor is a horses t**t.'
Bizarre.
