Subject: RE: John Denver - 60's Folk Singer
My favourite football (soccer) team, Sheffield United. sing the following words to Annie's Song:

The word "Magnet" refers to a brand of beer - some sing "maggots"... a reference to the local habit of fishing in anything larger than a puddle.

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Magnet
Like a packet of Woodbines
Like a good pinch of snuff
Like a night out in Sheffield
Like a greasy chip butty
Like Sheffield United
Come thrill me again
Lala La La
...continue ad infinitum........

This is played at the start of each home game - the first line is played and then the fans join in.......
