The Dog Anthem
You fill up my senses
Like a greasy chip butty
Like a packet of woodbines
Like a good pinch of snuff!
Like a night out in KL
Like the Royal Selangor
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Like a night out in KL
Like the Royal Selangor
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again... 



Arh, the lyrics of the rugby club i am part of...by the lyrics we can assume that

Mat Sallehs created it lorh... And yes, by history the club was actually formed by Mat Sallehs mah...haha...
"The Royal Selangor Club, The Dog, is one of Asia's oldest sporting clubs. Founded in 1884 exclusively for the use of the British expatriate community, it is now a truly Malaysian institution." excerpt from http://rscrugby.tripod.com/id3.html

I wonder what is a butty? and woodbines? Snuff? So, this is what wikipedia said

The Greasy Chip Butty Song is a football chant originally sung by the supporters of Sheffield United football club to the tune of Annie's Song, glorifying the dubious delights of life in Sheffield, in chief the eponymous Chip butty but also nightlife, beer and tobacco products. The song with its good-natured humour has been adopted and adapted by fans of a number of other Association Football teams, other football codes teams, and by other sports teams, both in the UK and internationally.


The song is to the tune of Annie's Song by John Denver[2]:
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 fill me again....
Na Na Na Naa Naa Naaaaa, ooo!

Meaning

To a native of Yorkshire the words are probably self explanatory; the words celebrate the many pleasures that can be had in Sheffield, culminating in the target of the fan's adoration, in this instance, Sheffield United.
  • Magnet refers to John Smith's Magnet Bitter, a bitter brewed and widely available in Yorkshire. Some people claim that the second line is really Like a gallon of maggots. Maggots are obtained from fishing tackle outlets in denominations of imperial pints and hence this version would not be unreasonable, as fishing is popular in the region and hence a gallon of maggots would mean a good day out fishing.
  • Woodbines refers nostalgically to a once popular brand of strong cigarette.
  • Snuff is ground tobacco for sniffing up the nose. Snuff produced by Wilson's Snuff Mill is world famous, and produced only a mile away from Bramall Lane.
  • A Greasy chip butty can be purchased in any of the many local fish and chip shops. Butty is a slang word for a sandwich, and a chip butty is simply a sandwich where the filling is chips, ideally greasy and sometimes sprinkled with salt and vinegar. Generally, a white sandwich bap will be used for the bread. In Sheffield, these are simply known as Breadcakes.
Bap (often a larger soft roll, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter). Dough can contain fats such as lard or butter to provide tenderness to dough. Can come in multiple shapes dependent on region. Baps as traditionally made in Scotland are not sweet, unlike the Irish version which may contain currants. The 9th Edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary (1995) says that the word "bap" dates from the 16th century and that its origin is unknown.

And oh, btw if you have been wondering why is it called the Dog's Anthem...Royal Selangor Club (RSC), has many sport section and each sport section has its name la...For the rugby section we have the bulldogs, dogs, dalmatians and dingoes, and chihuahuas. Dingoes refer to the women rugby players and chihuahuas refer to the children rugby players... The rest I'm not sure but i think the Bulldogs refer to the rugby players that are older in age, the dogs refer to the middle aged, dalmatian a bit younger people.

We train every Tuesday & Thursday at RSC Kiara 530pm. You are welcome to join us.
