    That has literally just blown my mind.

    This could be my personally greatest internet moment.

    I wish I could teleport back to the summer camp bus on the way to Mosney circa 1993 and correct all the lyrics in our chinese whispered hand-me-down version.

    I imagine that you'd quickly become the most popular boy in the whole camp.

    That, or you'd get beaten up!

    In my school trips we had a song called Bang Bang Rosie.

    "Bang bang Rosie,
    Rosie bangs all day,
    Who will bang for Rosie?
    When Rosie goes away"

    It was a song sung as a hippister (supported by the girls of private schools, who weren't see enough action on the pitch (candy wise), in relation to a fashion statement of wearing football jerseys in the 1990's.

    Orginally it was ugly ugly or oggy oggy (who agrees) I I or oi oi, it seemed to actually catch on after that moment. And became a bizarre chant, that reinforced what it was slagging off, and is now a stable chant at every Irish team sports game.

    I swear that is the truth ( either that or it was a scout motivational song) I think mine sounds better :D

    Only time I heard it was at international matches. or around a campfire, so I have no idea, not a expert at either, so could have missed out on something. ;)

    from the wiki link I posted earlier, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oggy_Oggy_Oggy
    Oggy Oggy Oggy has long been a major chant within Scouting and Guiding, especially within the UK. "An Oggy" as it is termed within Troops and Units is usually used at Scouting events and as a way of expressing thanks to those within and outside Scouting.

    I watch very little sport, about 10 matches in my life (from national school to national to international (most of them bored the living be jayus out of me (always Ireland though))) but I heard that song at 8 out of 10 of them, hence why I thought it was a sporting song. (mind you based on my limited experience I wouldn't base any sort of general criteria towards where that song came from)

    I believe the first time I heard it was as a campfire song that motivated teams (in scouts) to bond together (which makes sense from the other posts that it originally was a military song)

    I've heard Paddies recite it before, usually the typical working class boys down to watch UTD on a Saturday and sing Ra sings later on in the night.

    Paddys a frequently used term for the Irish, surely you've heard that before, it's like greasers for Italians or frogs for the French.

    I'm not insulting anybody, I'm Irish for god sake, the paddy term is ancient and has been used globally for a long while. Don't be so insecure.

    It is insulting, as is the phrase 'Mick'. If you're Irish then why say it? Why not just say you heard people sing it?
