It would be ace if the Rogers and Hammerstein estate stopped them using it.

That's the amusing thing for me. That attention whore Gerry Marsden will never have made any money off that, save appearance fees. All the publishing and royalties will have gone straight to the great grandchildren of a pair of tin pan alley songwriters who will have no idea why they get a massive cheque every month for a cheesy dirge at the end of a musical nobody remembers.

The thing is they hijack so many songs now. I went to a wedding in Cheshire once and Sloop John B by the Beach Boys came on and loads of them were on the dancefloor singing "we won it 5 times" to the song. The blues I was with did the honourable thing and walked out and went into the wedding next door to have a drink until they stopped. Even though everyone was saying "who the F are you".

I liked that song before that as well.

Used to "sit down" to that James song but now it's that cheating divers song.

Went to a birthday party in Maghull last year and loads of them were singing that awful Allez song. They literally hijack every event and make it about them.

Yet if Everton fans did the same at any sort of event, be it public or a private party, we’d be called for everything for starting to make the night about football and causing trouble.

My mum’s side of the family are all Liverpool fans, apart from myself, obviously. Only my uncle goes, he’s a season ticket holder (but glory hunter because my Grandad didn’t like football), but I’ve never known any of the others to go to Anfield in their life. They’ve always played that dirge at any family event and my Dad and I would always walk out. Years ago it was my cousin’s daughter’s christening and they were playing Man Utd and put it on. Man Utd went on to beat them 3-0 and I jumped around the whole pub but of course it’s the Evertonian causing the trouble for making the day about football.

They truly are a different breed. The most self-centred bunch of knobs imaginable.

From WiKi : "You'll Never Walk Alone" has rapidly become the world-wide anthem to show support for and encouragement to medical staff, first responders, those impacted by, under restrictions or in quarantine because of the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic.[2]

Hahaha, wow. They're a horrible club. I can tell you now lads, it has not rapidly become a world-wide anthem to show support. World-wide!! lol how emabarrsing for them.

It's a horrible song from an American play. Use another song that you've created...oh wait, you've stolen them all.

Kinell. I called this weeks ago and hate to be right but not surprised in the slightest.

Only a matter of time before The Echo declares it ‘the anthem of the NHS’ or something horrific.

It does make me wonder if someone but the royalties to the musical, probably at a massively lockdown price, and just put an end to it.

Well the sewer rats would just do what they did over at Snake Mountain... They'd run down the 'estate' till 'Rogers' would have to throw the towel in. They'd then buy his bit up and ghetto it even more and harass poor 'Hammerstein' till he he had no option but to do one.
Then the greatest socialists to ever exist would buy it up for a pittance and airbrush history. "We sung it b4 you wrote it"..
Billy Bigelow instead of being the 'orrible crack loving burglar of the musical fame which they wax lyrical about, would now become that fine upstanding citizen Billy Henry who didn't furlough his staff, hike the Klans tickets up, turf the locals from their seats in Mordor to shoehorn Eidor from Scandinavia, Ifran from the Punjab and Dave from Essex in. And didn't give his way to fit wife a load of dough so she'd touch his maggot....
