Can't help falling in love

[mr. apollo]

We have had Glad All Over since the sixties, which is a happy upbeat song, why ruin the vibe with fat american cardiac songs?

 

[Mystic Smeg]

Stop playing this feckin' song Palace
Please note how nobody sings it
Don't care if we might have sung it once or twice in the 70's as one person pointed out somewhere... I don't remember ever singing it
It's a Sunderland and Hull song NOT Palace end of!!!

 

[syd snot]

It's a fuckin dire load of dross and needs banned from all football grounds.
I will be glad all over when it's f***ed off to whence it came.
While we're at it can those two photos of that Arsenal bloke be removed from the first page, screen whatever ya call it.

agree with the sentiment here

feels it's some some contrived corporate marketing sh!te to copy Anfield playing 'you'll never ..' before every game

that might work in Liverpool where if there is a chance there is to wrap a sentimental wrapper on anything going on they grab it - and lots of very sad things to happen - and fair play if that reflects their culture then that's good for them to get some deep emotional connection from it

I don't think it matches up to who Palace are, or South London or London in general

Agree , w*nk non Palace song.
Glad all over. Town called Malice is the one I remember when I was younger, before the game.
Until we get a Palace Louis Dunford , to knock out a South London version of ‘ North London Forever’,Leave it alone.
When we stayed up a few years and played 3 little birds (don’t worry about a thing ) Bob Marley , that was good.

[Palace Old Geezer]

I don't dislike the song, but it has no place at a football match - especially not at Selhurst.

It's kinda dreary and we thrive on the upbeat tempo of being Glad All Over.

 

[Dogburger]

Just play our song ,glad all over and leave it at that .I think its actually a mood killer ,takes ages for the singing to get going after that dirge is played

 

[Casual]

Maybe if we all start booing the song and throwing pint glasses at the directors box. They might knock it on the head. 🔴🔵

 

[eritheagle]

Depressing funeral dirge being foisted on us by Parish IMHO.

I think his little chums dressed in black May have something to do with it!!

I may be wrong though.

Spot on.

It’s a great song but playing it as we kick off just removes the upbeat tempo created from GAO as we walk out. Would prefer us to get our own song for the pre kickoff moment. Something unique and more up tempo. But also something that continues on after the whistle.

Yesterday the stadium started the game quite flat I thought after that song and it took a while to get going.

I watched on TV yesterday and it sounded like the song was booed - and rightly so.

Time for whoever plays it so read the room (and online forums!)

I was in Block B of the Lower Holmesdale for yesterday’s game. There was a lot of dissent shown from the crowd when the song began to play, including booing.

Apologies for the second post on this topic, but in case the Powers That Be check this site for fan sentiment...

It is a fantastic, fabulous, wonderful song for expressing one's feeling for another person. And it's a terrible, awful, pathetic, miserable song for singing in support of a football team. Despite being a positive, upbeat, respectful, optimistic, old-school fellow, if I were at Selhurst I would add my voice to the chorus of boos.

Would an old-fashioned fan-organized petition help the cause?

 

[Penge Eagle]

Not only that but it's literally another club's anthem.

 

[Palace Passion]

I really like it. We adopted it during our famous FA Cup win and I think we should now always include it as well as Glad all over...

 

[Mets1]

Sorry Palace passion - it’s another clubs anthem- Sunderlands!!

I recall all the uproar when Blackpool embraced GAO during their brief experience in the premiership!!

We ( palace) were not happy !!!

So let’s stick to our traditional songs please !!{

 

[ASCPFC]

I really like it. We adopted it during our famous FA Cup win and I think we should now always include it as well as Glad all over...

If we compromised, I'd accept it as our Cup anthem and go back to the originals for the league. We'd then be so cool and big time that we have a cup song, a league song and a Europe song maybe. Something like Turning Japanese would be ironic for Europe. Or The Final Countdown to be less obscure.

 

[Norbury Old Git]

I’ll join the list. When I heard it I thought it was Perry Como (an old US crooner from last century). Probably Woody Johnson’s favourite and played at the Met….is thats why the Jets keep losing? Please get rid of it.

I haven't written on here for ages. I've been a supporter sunce 1970.
What has woken me up, you ask?
Unfortunately can't get to matches these days, but still watch as many games as possible.
I have been hearing the kickoff song, Can't Help falling in love.
It's really, really awful as a song to play at kickoff.
My first thouhjt was someone was trying to turn us into Liverpool.
We are Palace and if a kickoff song was needed it should br upbeat not a funeral dirge.
I think in the past the music DJ has tried to introduce a new song.
This should go the way of them.

Was even worse last night. Felt like with the fireworks and everything the crowd were pumped, and that song is such a change of pace. Such a buzz kill
