ianw Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 St Mirren were the topic of "Home Team Glory" on BBC Radio 6 Music this morning. The point of the feature is to find a song (single or album track) with the team's name somewhere in the lyrics (e.g. you could have Chelsea Dagger by the Fratelli's for Chelsea). After having covered off the whole of the English and Scottish Premierships over the last few weeks (including even St Johnstone FFS), today was the first failure when it came to St Mirren. You can listen here from about 56min in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03bkqyc Can anyone think of any song with St Mirren mentioned? It has to actually be a reference to "St Mirren" - so Love Street by the Doors or the Saints are Coming by the Skids is not enough. I thought it'd be easy, but I'm scratching my head...

zebrakid Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Surely "oh when the Saints" must qualify as St Mirren are the only UK team named after a patron Saint of the town. Either that or surely the auld classic "Molly Malone" that carries the line "as she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets wide and narrow singing <clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap> St Murn".... Shame yon Hector Nicol never bothered to write and sing an anthem for his home town team instead of Hearts, Hibs, Dundee and Dundee United. Did you forget about this one http://www.reverbnation.com/shimsgroup/song/18642946-mirin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Good shout, but our songwriter and vocalist plans to do a new version of 'Mirin'. That's the reason I've pulled it from Reverbnation and YouTube, but if it will get us some airplay, then maybe I should stick it back up. What do you think? Go for it!

markovanhaddock Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Paisley's own Close Lobsters had a song called Skyscrapers of St Mirin. Close enough surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markovanhaddock Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 If I remember right It's just in the title, but wasn't sure if that was allowed. At work so can't check the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
