Maybe quirkiness only works once? I'm not sure, actually. What seemed quirky or shocking 3+ decades ago might seem silly or boring now, especially for younger viewers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the first Chicken Run, and have it on DVD still. The kids thought it was fun. But the second one… Boy oh boy. I’d say we’ve watched it between 15-20 times since Christmas. They love it, and I’ve enjoyed it too. It feels a lot more ‘Hollywood’ than the first, better music and I’d say funnier moments too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughters are obsessed with it though so maybe I need to check it out. Does it miss the Mel Gibson voice? I'd like to think that Rooster could go on a drunken anti semitic rant at any moment.

At first I thought it would ruin it that Ginger and Rocky were recast, but after 5 minutes I didn’t notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 YNWA full pelt by The Kop is a sight to behold. It gives me goosebumps and if I was a Liverpool fan I’d almost certainly be in tears singing it on big nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives me goosebumps and if I was a Liverpool fan I’d almost certainly be in tears singing it on big nights. It used to be sung at Villa Park and a lot of other grounds but it seems that clubs and fans alike prefer to establish their own unique brand. In the days of Villa's struggle when there was the first signs of light at the end of the tunnel, I've seen grown men in tears as they sang along to YNWA. Ironically it has become an anachronism for Liverpool and especially the younger generation because they've won so much since they were promoted in 1962. They were always seen as a second-division club before that and the song's pathos was sincerely felt and enjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be even more controversial than that - Keep Right On is also a damn good anthem, and if I'm honest, better than anything we've got. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, you'd think having had to watch his "performances" up to that point that as a fanbase we'd have been very ready to believe he was accident-prone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree Mike, it’s one of the best anthems out there. It doesn’t conjure up the tearful emotions like YNWA but it’s a great anthem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a Blues programme from their 1956 Cup Final and inside were the words to Keep Right On. I have often wondered whether this was the first time the song became their anthem? I gave the programme to a bluenose and I hope he looked after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it goes back to some Scottish player in the 1920s, Gordon someone possibly iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
