Tangerine and White 70s song

[Stranny1870]

Just read in an old magazine about a Joe Harris from Blackpool writing the song Tangerine and White which was recorded by 2 women called The Milltones and would be played at Bloomfield before games. Does anyone remember this, I only remember the Nolans?

Was that the one where he stood on a lecture in the middle of the pitch and we all had song sheets? Seem to remember "what a load of rubbish" ringing round the ground.

It was Jan 1st 1972 v Watford and we thumped them 5-0. By the way the conductor of the singing stood on a LECTERN.

 

[Wizaard]

I remember it.

Tangerine and white
Always shining bright

Is as much of the lyric as I can recall.

That's my only recollection.
Remember really cringing at it.

That's what I meant, obvs predictive text is not as educated as you and I !

 

[Stranny1870]

Sounds like it went down well with the fans then - not.

Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool
It's you we adore
We will love you 10 times better
Every time you score

 

[KhonKaenSeasider]

I was at that Watford game, don't recall a thing about the pre-match song, clearly erased from the memory!!!

 

[GrahamwantshisOates]

Before Chelsea FA Cup game in Jan 1972.
Hardly raised the atmosphere.

Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool
It's you we adore
We will love you 10 times better
Every time you score

Don't remind me. It may have been crxp but it got burnt into my brain

Onward onward onward onward
'till we reach the top
Oi!
Absolute banger

 

[bleach51]

Well I must be in a minority here but nowt wrong with the song at the time and I bet a few of us oldies can still sing along with it.
At least it was family friendly unlike a lot more then and nowand the Nolan family were very much Blackpool fans way back then.

 

[Atchetman]

The lyrics were "Onwards, Onwards always onwards boys in tangerine..we will love you 10 times better everytime you score oi "
The kop refused to join in only singing the Oi bit

 

[Stranny1870]

I like the idea of a song with Oi in it.

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool Blackpool
It's you we adore
We will love you 10 times better
Every time you score

Youre the greatest
You're the finest,
You will reach the top,
Onward, onward....

Think you've got the wrong end of the stick they are not slagging off the Nolan's song - its one by the Millitones apparently before my time - I personally used to love the Nolan's song as 8/9 year old in the mid seventies

I have the Singing Nolans (sic) on a 7" single which I bought in the old club shop under the South Stand

If they'd somehow managed to squeeze in the line ' and PNE are chite ' it would have been a winner.
