It's the iconic theme of Liverpool Football Club, and it's a motto we could all do with right now, regardless of whether you're Aston Villa, Birmingham City or West Bromwich Albion.

 

Radio stations across the continent are set to play You'll Never Walk Alone simultaneously on Friday (March 20) as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues.

 

The spread of COVID-19 has sparked the inspiring show of solidarity on European shores.

 

UK stations and their Dutch counterparts in the Netherlands will all play the Gerry and the Pacemakers track at 8.45am (CET), which is 7:45am here.

Yah, we have this nonsense in Germany as well, they play the Bavarian hymn at a set time to thank the 'essential' workers, followed by sycophantic praising of such workers.

 

It's pretty ridiculous.

Duh ...... not exactly the right song to promote ' social distancing '  ????

 

The Lyrics should be :

 

Walk on, walk on , with a mask , on your face , and try to walk alone, please try to walk ............alone

Funny two days ago this great music came on and I had a tear in my eye, I had to stop & listen to the full track.

Dont take the <deleted>, just lets all help each other if you dont it might be the end.

A bit ironic what is undoubtedly a great song originated on Broadway with the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel"

A woman from Hadleigh, Suffolk, UK wrote this which I think needs a wider audience:-

My Sanitized Things (to the tune of ‘My Favourite Things’)

Verse

Hospitals, health centres, large institutions,

Lock down for fear of the public’s ablutions.

And any surface to which Covid clings,

We are all missing our favourite things.

 

Pasta, and loo roll and hand sanitizer

Although why loo roll? I am none the wiser.

Hoarding food’s what some folks did in the war.

I’ve got a feeling we’ve been here before!

 

We still have neighbours but something is missing.

Elbow touch only; no hugging or kissing.

Handshakes are now just a thing of the past.

How long do you think this madness can last?

 

Chorus

Over 70?

Then you’re buggered.

Days are long and sad.

But then we remember our favourite things

And suddenly life ‘aint bad!

 

Verse

Now panic buying is sweeping the nation.

Business is bad with this self-isolation,

But it’s not over ‘til ‘that lady sings’,

Oh where the hell are my favourite things?

 

Buying in bulk seems to be current fashion,

Maximum 4 bars of soap is the ration.

Why didn’t they stop this greed long before?

Ration books seemed to work well in the war!

 

Chorus

No more parties,

No more football,

It will drive me mad!

But then I remember my favourite things

And life doesn’t seem so bad.

 

Verse

How long can we all be incarcerated?

Box sets can often be quite overrated.

TV repeats are the sole offerings.

Oh how I yearn for my favourite things.

 

Gossip with neighbours, the pub and the theatre.

Oh, stuff the new regime we must adhere ter(!)

Jumping in puddles and hubby who sings,

These are a few of my favourite things.

 

Chorus

Where’s the front door?

Must get out more.

Stop me feeling sad.

‘Cos this is the day that our dear Lord has made

And now I don’t feel so bad!

[Chazar]

pathetic

The conotations are just toooooo much NO

Just about anything else
