Songs With "st Mirren" In Them...

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...unsure.png

@StMirrenDaft I hate to say it but football / club songs are not allowed!

Was there not a song written for this League Cup final?

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

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?

Yes!! You'd get on BBC Radio 6 Music! How's that for exposure!
