Chelsea FC Songs: Super Chelsea to One Team In Fulham – famous Chelsea Chants
In recent decades, Chelsea has been highly successful at home and abroad. The investment by first Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and then the current owners led by Todd Boehly have certainly boosted the team’s chances of success.
The Blues fans have certainly had a lot to sing and shout about in recent decades. However, what are the most popular Chelsea songs or chants?
Blue is the colour
The song is now a crowd favourite with Blues fans. It was first released in 1972, ahead of Chelsea’s appearance in the 1972 League Cup against Stoke City. The song was more successful than the Blues were in the final, as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Wembley, while the song reached number five in the UK charts and number eight in Ireland.
The song is not just a crowd favourite, but the club anthem, and its popularity hasn’t really faded amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful. The song has also been used by other teams, even in other sports.
One Man Went to Mow
Adapted from a traditional nursery rhyme, the song is believed to have been first sung by fans in the 1980s. Unconfirmed reports suggest that fans may have first sung it during a pre-season tour of Sweden in 1982.
The song has become popular amongst Chelsea fans and can often be heard at Stamford Bridge during the Blues home games.
Super Chelsea
The song’s lyrics are: “Super, Chelsea, Super, Chelsea FC. We’re by far the greatest team The World has ever seen!”
It is a terrace chant adapted from a song sung by many club’s football fans, just changing the name of the club in the song. This is usually sung when Chelsea is doing well on the pitch or in big games to lift the players.
We Love you, Chelsea. We Do
This is another almost universal song sung by fans of football clubs throughout Britain, celebrating their particular club. This is another song that is generally sung when the Blues are thriving on the pitch.
Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea
The song is pretty simple in the lyrics, as the fans sing ‘Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea’ to lift their team and attempt to improve the team’s fortunes.
The club’s name is repeated three times and then sung in at least three choruses.
The Liquidator
The song is played when the Blues come out for their home games at Stamford Bridge. The instrumental song has had a long association with Chelsea since the late 1960s. Although a few clubs use it as their entrance song, the Blues claim to be the first club to use it at Stamford Bridge in 1969.
Other British clubs that use the song as their entrance song are Wycombe Wanderers, Northampton Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Bromwich Albion, Yeovil Town, and St. Johnstone.
Keep The Blue Flag Flying High
The song is associated with Chelsea. There isn’t any specific date that is regarded as when it came out.
However, the song has gained popularity over the years, but its popularity rose in the 1990s when the fans started to bring blue flags to wave at Stamford Bridge, which increased the meaning of the song.
We All Follow Chelsea
The song has been sung at Chelsea for a long time, although it’s unclear when the Blues fans first sang it.
The song’s lyrics are: Even to Leicester…We all follow the Chelsea, Over land and sea (and Leicester!) We all follow the Chelsea, On to victory. (Altogether now!), which was then repeated.
Only One Team in Fulham
The song ‘There’s Only One Team in Fulham’ is a song that is sung to decry Chelsea’s south west London neighbours Fulham and is most commonly sung in games against the Cottagers in the local capital derby.
Carefree
To the tune of the famous ‘Lord of the Dance’ hymn, Carefree’s lyrics are: “Carefree, wherever we may be, We are the famous CFC, And we don’t care, whoever you may be, ‘Cause we are the famous CFC!”
Blue Day
The song was created by the leader singer of Madness, Suggs, in honour of the Blues making it to the 1997 FA Cup final.
The Chelsea squad appeared alongside Suggs in the music video, including the likes of Gianfranco Zola and Dennis Wise.
