Why do West Ham Utd sing "I'm forever blowing bubbles" I know it is there  song but WHY?????

In 1927, an advertising campaign appeared for soap. It featured a curly haired child blowing soap bubbles, who was likened to one of the West Ham players. This unlikely imagery provided the Hammers with their club anthem, which is roared by supporters several times during the course of a game. The lyrics are as follows:\n\nI'm forever blowing bubbles \nPretty bubbles in the air \nThey fly so high, nearly reach the sky \nAnd like my dreams, they fade and die \nFortune's always hiding \nI've looked everywhere \nI'm forever blowing bubbles \nPretty bubbles in the air!

Your probably hearing the FIFA anthem.  They play it at friendlies and at tournies.  As do they play the UEFA anthem at Champions League matches.

I haven't heard of it as a live recording. I read that it was an extra take that the band wasn't extremely serious about. And the record company felt it was a little out of character for them at the time so it was not included in their albums. What a great song and fortunately it was not permanently discarded.

no one in the band admitted to doing those things on purpose. the whole rumor got started by 2 djs on a radio station who were joking around. i think they did things like the abbey road cover and the end of 'strawberryfields forever' to amuse themselves

tune: Blaydon Races\nOh, me lads,\nYou should have seen us coming,\nFastest team in the League,\nJust to see us winning,\nAll the lads and lasses,\nWith smiles upon their faces,\nWalking down the Warwick Road,\nTo see Matt Busby's aces \n\nThat is what you heard the United fans sing, its different words to the tune of Blaydon Races. Ive never personally heard it sung, may just be one than an older fan has resurrected recnetly (its clearly an old one because theres hardly any of Warwick Road now on the North side (the parts that pass the football and cricket ground have been renamed Sir Matt Busby Way and Brian Statham Way respectively) plus theres the link to a side from the 50's or 60's under Sir Matt himself

It's called heyday, it's sung by mic christopher. I have the CD single of it. He died before the song was used in the guinness ad.

they are mascots that come from local schools or youth teams or supporters clubs, its an old tradition been going on as long as i can remember..\n\nalso maybe it's for pride and because the kids are "the future" and it has a cuteness factor. lol thousands of kids had to try out to make that thing though and though only selected like 130 or something. I don't know what the requirements were...look cute?\n\nSome say it is Fifa rules... it has been there since i can remember..\n\nMost probably those kids are players in the youth club. Believe me that even Wayne Rooney used to walk out with the players before the match starts.\n\nAlso because FIFA, the world football governing body, has a partnership with UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund. The two organisations team up to prevent children from being recruited as child soldiers, inform them about the dangers of HIV/AIDS through education and discussion, and promote educations for girls, among many other objectives. Their goal is to demonstrate how footballers can serve as role models, and how the game of football is one of the most powerful ways through which the world can receive messages of non-violence, tolerance and peace.

Do you mean the players or the fans? The fans sing with pride and passion, but not all the players do. Neville never sings it. Also, (I've been thinking about this), we only sing one verse of our national anthem, because no-one knows the words to the rest of it. So what does that say? Did you hear the Paraguay anthem? It went on and on and on, but the players knew all the words. Maybe we (the fans) wouldn't be so passionate and proud if we had to sing the whole thing. One more thing - do you think we'd be even more passionate and proud if we sang about England, our country, rather than the Queen? No offense to Her Majesty.

I saw an interview on British TV where one of the band, not Freddie or Entwistle, stated quite categorically that it was a load of old rubbish that they made up by throwing in everything they could think of.  Since it was voted the best song of the century, (or something like that) everyone seems to be treating it as something extra special.  I think it is a case of the 'Emperor's New Clothes' once again.

i know, they show it every advert break in the english games. the slogan is "we'll do the beer, you do the football". it is so funny, glad you all have a good sense of humour about it. xxxxx

i'd have to agree with one of the other people that said, not all people like this song but, one reason might be because the human brain like's to find the pattern in things.  such a repetitive and catchy hook makes your mind sort of...um..record and play back very easily??? i need to go to bed, i'm losing it!

Im not sure,Ive never heard the song being played after a match but the official anthem for this world cup is "celebrate the day".That could be it.

Im not sure,Ive never heard the song being played after a match but the official anthem for this world cup is "celebrate the day".That could be it.\n\nbut i heard people say that the song is Go West by the Pet Shop Boys.\n\nbut i think the song is indeed "Stand Up! (Champions' Theme)" performed by Patrizio Buanne\n\none of these three could be the one u're looking for..
