The (in?)famous song recorded by the 1988 FA Cup finalists Liverpool. The song was Craig Johnston's idea, not John Barnes' as many might think. At this time there were only two scousers in the first team(John Aldridge and Steve McMahon), and the theme of the song evolves around their teammates strange accents(Non-Liverpudlians understandibly finds this hard to belive).
This song made it to #3 on the charts in England.
Lyrics:
Liverpool FC is hard as hell United, Tottenham, Arsenal Watch my lips, and I will spell 'Cause they don't just play, but they can rap as well
Liverpool FC Liverpool FC
My idea was to build Liverpool into a bastion of invincibility...
Aahaah...aah...aah (Liverpool FC)
...had Napoleon had that idea he'd have conquered the bloody world
Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll ne... ver walk...alone
Alright Aldo Sound as a pound I'm custy la but there's nothing down The rest of the lads ain't got it sussed We'll have to learn 'em to talk like us
Well I'm rapping now, I'm rapping for fun I'm your goalie, the number one You can take the mick, don't call me a clown Any more lip and you're going down
Alright Ace, we're great me and you But the other lads don't talk like we do No they don't talk like we do, do they do la We'll have to learn 'em to talk propa
Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll ne... ver walk... alone
You two scousers are always yapping I'm gonna show you some serious rappin I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es When I do my thing the crowd go bananas
How's he doing the Jamaica rap? He's from just south of the Watford Gap He gives us stick about the north/south divide 'Cause they got the jobs Yeah, but we got the side
Well I came to England looking for fame So come on Kenny man, give us a game 'Cause I'm sat on the bench paying my dues with the blues I'm very big down under, but my wife disagrees
They've won the league, bigger stars than Dallas They got more silver than Buckingham Palace No-one knows quite what to expect When the red machine's in full effect
Well Steve McMahon sure can rap It's about time he had an England cap So come on Bobby Robson, he's the man 'Cause if anyone can, Macca can Macca-can... Macca-can... Macca-can... Macca-can...
Liverpool FC is hard as hell
My idea was to build Liverpool up and up and up until eventually they would be untouchable. Everybody would have to submit. Give in, give in, give in
We're highland lads Och-ai the noo And there's four of us And only two of you So if you want nai trouble And you don't want a slap You'd better teach us the Anfield rap
Don't forget us paddies And me the Great Dane And I'm from London mate so watch your game
Well you two scousers, you're always squaking But we'll just let our feet do the talking
Our lads have come from all over the place They talk dead funny, but they play dead great Well now we've gotta learn 'em talk real cool The song you've gotta learn if you live in the Pool
Walk on... walk on... with hope... in your heart... and you'll ne... ver walk... alone You'll never walk alone
Ho-ho my word That's unbelievable, it really is I think they should stick to playing football. Terrible What do you think Kenny?

I am gradually sorting through some of my ancient video tapes to log what is on them, and capturing some vintage clips whilst I do so.
Here is the *original* opening and closing credits theme to 'Only Fools and Horses', composed by Ronnie Hazelhurts. Writer John Sullivan had originally composed the more familiar opening and closing themes for the first series, but the BBC insisted on an instrumental peice, led by Hazelhurst, that staple of BBC theme tunes of the 1970s and 1980s. With the second series, Sullivan persauded them to use his more famous version.
Nearly all repeat runs of the first series have replaced the original theme with the more familiar versions (although Ronnie Hazelhurst's credit remained on-screen), with just a couple of repeats of the first episode, 'Big Brother' (such as this one, shown on Sunday 12th April 1987, when the show was nominated for a BAFTA) using the original theme. Video and DVD releases also use the more familiar versions; as a result, this original theme is quite rare.
I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!
