A Footie & Music Appeal
This is the first in what I’m sure will be a series.
I want your half time songs. What music did you hear ALL the time during the break ? What was that one particular song did you hear over the tannoy week after week after week whilst you were standing there burning your lip on a streaming hot plastic cup filled with a coloured tasteless liquid they described as tea ?
Send me details on what song always annoyed you, or if didn’t irritate just stuck in your brain because of that repetitive chorus.
Send them to me via manager at footballandmusic co dot uk.

Over the water and far away in Pittodrie it was played all the time:
