Equally stupid would be coming out to overtly macho songs like "We Will Rock You ". We have never really rocked anyone yet! I think we should come out to something very original. How about " The Lion Sleeps Tonight "? Is it to fanciful to imagine the Orient as a slumbering lion? Maybe to wake up in our Season to be a League Champion?
Personally I find this tune very catchy; my desire to hum it or sing it, is nearly always just a whim away, a whim away.
I bet all you older ones will now be humming this song all day long.

Nothing better to post?

I had it played at the end of my dad's funeral as it was close to his heart after supporting the club for many years so when some Muppet who's got nothing better to post questions the club playing it, he needs to jog on.

So when you say everyone associates it with Orient you did not actually many everyone, you meant a few Orient fans.

To me there is the subliminal message that the poor ole Orient team needs a battered ole taxi to take them on & off the pitch. I think some of you idiots would suggest the team comes out to " Send in the Clowns ".
