The song is still played ahead of every Chelsea home game and cup final appearance, with the vocal efforts of Ron Harris, Alan Hudson, Peter Osgood and various other former stars living on almost 50 years later.
"Blue Is the Colour" is a terrace chant associated with Chelsea Football Club. It was performed by players from the Chelsea squad and released in 1972 to coincide with the club's ultimately unsuccessful appearance in that year's League Cup Final against Stoke City. The record was issued by Penny Farthing Records and reached number 5 in the UK Charts and number 8 in Ireland in March 1972.[1] It has become one of the most well-known English football songs.[2]

The song continues to be popular among Chelsea's supporters decades after its release, and it remains the club's signature anthem, played at every home game and any cup finals Chelsea compete in. The song has also been adapted by many other teams in various sports around the world.
The song became popular in many countries in 1972 with many local versions of the song released. Dutch team Ajax released a version titled "Ajax, Leve Ajax!" by Vader Abraham with Zijn Goede Zonen, the French singer Antoine released a version with the Marseille team, and a Swedish version was also recorded.[6] The Ajax version reached No. 25 on the Dutch Top 40 in the Netherlands.[9]
In 1972, the song was also performed by the Australian cricket team visiting England as part of the Ashes tour. It was sung by players and recorded as "Here Come The Aussies". It was also released on record and became a hit in Australia.[4]
The song has been modified into Danish by Flemming Antony into the title Rd-hvide farver (Red and white colours). The song was the official supporter's song for the Denmark national team, when they participated at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Another version was released in 1984.[10]
The song is translated to Finnish by Vexi Salmi and used prior to kick-off in all the home fixtures of Helsinki-based Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi. It was recorded 1973 by the first squad of the team. The title in Finnish is HOO-JII-KOO, but is better known as 'Taas kansa tytt', as the first verse begins with these words. Direct translation to English would be 'Again Terraces Are Filled'.[citation needed]
In 1975, Erik Beck adapted the song as "Green is the Color"[12] to honor the opening season of the Portland Timbers in the North American Soccer League. Beck and his friends Ron Brady and Peter Yeates later recorded the song, which was released as a single in 1976 and went on to sell 8,000 copies and receive airplay on Portland radio stations throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The song served as the Timbers fight song until 1982,[13] and returned when the team was re-formed as part of the United Soccer League in 2001. In the early 2010s, the song was played at halftime during Timbers home matches [13] and in 2015 the team, now playing in Major League Soccer, released a "Green is the Color" scarf to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the club.[14]
In 1978, the song was re-recorded as "White Is The Colour" for the Vancouver Whitecaps and became a local hit. The Scottish rock duo the Proclaimers re-recorded "White Is The Colour" for the Whitecaps' 2002 season, and performed it live during half-time of a game.[15] Since the club's move to Major League Soccer in 2011, it has been the entrance song for every home game at BC Place.
Supporters of the Norwegian team Molde FK also use a variant of a song, where the title ("Bltt er vr farge") directly translates to "Blue is our colour". The rest of the refrain is altered, however.[citation needed]
The song was used as the basis for a campaign record used by the successful Conservative campaign in the 1979 general election. The song used was a parody of the Chelsea version, with the words changed to:[4]
Page, now 86 and living in Australia, was particularly moved in the summer of 2015 when Chelsea played in Sydney during a post-season tour, with his old anthem still ringing in the ears of all those in attendance both before and after the match.
The National Anthem and I have a long, bittersweet history. I have performed this song for firesides, basketball games, gymnastic meets, scouting events, baseball games, rodeos and horse races. I have sung before audiences of ten and ten thousand. In the 20 years that the Star Spangled Banner and I have been sharing the stage we have had our moments of great glory and complete humiliation.
The song is a battle in itself. You are in a war against your fears. Will you succumb? Will you retreat? Or will you stand firm before the firing cannons? Will your flag still be flying at the end? Remember that being able to sing is not for you, but it is for others. Performing is a gift. Broaden your smile. Use your eyes and your face and your posture to let the audience know that you are not afraid. You are about to set off some fireworks.

Singer-songwriter Chelsea Cutler's latest single, "Walking Away," is an anthem for ending a relationship and the mixed bag of emotions that comes with it. The track is laced with a melancholic confidence, elevated by the contrast of the lyrics and production. With standout lyrics like, "Sometimes people break when they're bending" and plucky sonics perfect for a summer night bop, "Walking Away" is certainly a song worth losing yourself in.
As usual, Cutler's distinctive vocal tone and lyricism makes "Walking Away" uniquely her own. It's an intriguing take on a classic breakup song and is certainly the perfect go-to track for all of your summer vibe needs. It's insightful, emotional, and most importantly, real. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for Cutler, including her upcoming tour with Quinn XCII!
The song is about Chelsea, in New York, not London. I totally don't know what you guys know about The Gaslight Anthem, but their a band from New Jersey. Also if you listen to the American Slang album, a few songs later he talks about New York City "So I will wait on the edges in between, These New York streets, Where you and I would meet" -The Spirit Of Jazz. Without a doubt it's Chelsea in New York City. But I don't think that's what the songs about, it's merely just a setting to the song.I'm not entirely sure what it is about, but it seems to be about a girl who grew up working hard for what she could, a girl who seemingly would deserve everything but yet get's beat and she just turns the other cheek and doesn't open up about it but instead just lives through it because she has the idea that lifes hard, you just gotta keep living.
I believe the song is about a girl who grew up in Chelsea in Greenwich Village, NYC and was unspoiled ("Did you make all the right moves,/Take all the right drugs right on time?") who left because she wanted to be famous or simply to get away from her neighborhood ("Were your records all you had to pass the time?/Or maybe you were taken by the mysteries of New Orleans?/Or the uptight, rowdy girls of Lower Chelsea?" and "American girls, they want the whole world/They want every last little light in New York City"). And now this girls is reminiscing about her hometown because she's lonely and obviously not doing what she had dreamed to be doing ("When you're working full-time/And spending all of your nights never dancing like you did.") The author/singer tells her that she should have stayed in Chelsea (maybe even with him) but that now it's too late ("everyone has a price... not even me").
Its resulting insidious, quirky melodies etched themselves into our national psyche, as TV adverts that became playground chants, like Desmond Dekker's Israelites (released in 1968 on Trojan), and football terrace chants, in the case of Harry J. All Stars' The Liquidator. In fact, the latter song remains a Chelsea FC anthem to this day.
