The Lyrics
I've heard this is one of the AmIright "big 7" songs (for a parody lyricist to attempt) - I have no intention of attempting the other six! As a rock fan, I'd usually distance myself from musicals! But it reminded me of a famous newspaper headline from February 2000 after a cup shock by Inverness Caledonian Thistle (aka "Caley" or "Jags") v Celtic. Good luck keeping up if you read through these whilst playing the song!
It's...
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Who'd have thought that Inverness
Could conjure something monstrous?
If you sing it loud enough
You can join in the chorus
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye! Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
The Highlanders still settling in
They'd reached Division One
An away cup draw to Celtic
Gave them a squeeky bum
I need not have worried so much
Historic history shows
Reporting the result, the Sun
Newspaper headline goes...
Oh...
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Who'd have thought that Inverness
Could conjure something monstrous?
If you sing it loud enough
You can join in the chorus
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye! Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Their silverware & titles followed everywhere they went
Their reputation stretches all across the Continent
Said Caley Thistle manager "you've none to prove to me"
Celtic, having equalised, Jags then scored two & three!
Oh, Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Who'd have thought that Inverness
Could conjure something monstrous?
If you sing it loud enough
You can join in the chorus
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Now you can say it backwards, which is
Atrocious are Celtic, Ballistic Go Caley Super!
But that's a little bit unnecessary
- Yes
So as we move to end this song
There's no need for dismay (here, here!)
Think of that news headline
It will remind you of the day
But better think back carefully
For that night changed your life
Remember?
Well...
That night I showed it to my girl & now my girl's my wife
Oh! & a lovely girl she is, too - ho, ho, ho!
Oh...
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Who'd have thought that Inverness
Could conjure something monstrous?
If you sing it loud enough
You can join in the chorus
Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye! Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
Um-dittle-ittl-ittl-um-dittle-aye!
The Highlanders still settling in

What did I tell you? You get a good sub for the title and the rest is all downhill. And the title keeps reappearing throughout the song, so the song never flags
I actually sang this
