is it just me or singing "don't worry bout a thing" is utter shite?

It actually sounds great when sung

But we do sort of sing it when times are hard and we need something of course when it’s needed

Still 50/50 with the song but will join in when sung

I like it. Think it goes back to when we were one down after the first leg of the semi final of the league cup against Palace. Ali played it before the game and it seemed to nicely sum up the situation especially as we eventually won on penalties and it became our song for a while. Not sure if we started it but its nice to have a song which we are associated with rather than the usual generic barmy army type chants.

Love it when we sing this, it's a message of hope and I bet it lifts our players too! Sounded awesome yesterday. :bluescarf:

I'm with you.

Sounds like a dirge with words that basically say that things are currently shit.

Have always loved it and shows the players we want them to keep trying when things are bad and everything will come good. :ayatollah:

Didn't work much back in the day mind :lol:

Could go back to no singing at all and have a library? It's cheesy but wtf it helps atmosphere what more do people want? :old:

I agree with your opinion about unique songs which identify with Cardiff because simply we don't have enough.

That said I do like the Barmy Army chant because it sets a tempo for the players and last night was a classic example of how fans can influence the players on the pitch, however, I have always thought 'Blue Army' would be a better and more identifiable chant.

Yes IMO the way we sing it is shite.

It is too slow for a football chant which are by nature are a lot faster.

That said I'm sure someone could come up with a faster version of 'Don't Worry' which could work brilliantly. :bluescarf:

Totally agree it sounds shite. It’s cringeworthy. We’re all pasty faced northern hemisphere rain sodden football fans, not Caribbean relaxed chill the fuk out everything’s going to be fine. Last 10 minutes last night I would associate smack my bitch up by the prodigy would be nearer to my nerves !!

I think we actually pinched it off Ajax when we played them at home in a pre season friendly at Ninian park!

I think it's a great song to sing win or loose!

Sounds like a death chant to me... Just feels like we're expecting the worst when it's sung!

Yes complete and utter shite, it seems negative to me, I always feel like we will concede when we sing it, as people have said too slow !!!
