“It had never been sung by fans during the seasons before that. “The first time I can ever recall it being sung was at the opening game of the 1989-90 season at Liverpool,” he said.
It was only during the past couple of decades that the Blues adopted it and made it their own.Ĭity historical expert Gary James remembers the first time he heard it: ‘Blue Moon’ was originally sung by Crewe Alexandra's fans. Songs like ‘ Delilah’ and ‘ Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’ are two that did stick around for a while, with ‘Delilah’ now remaining as Stoke City’s anthem of choice. The eighties was a time when clubs started to adopt new songs on the then-terraces, rather than chants. So, just how did those iconic lyrics become etched into so many City fans' subconscious?
The song has also featured in films including At The Circus, Viva Las Vegas, Grease and An American Werewolf in London. Over 60 different artists have recorded their own versions of ‘Blue Moon’, offering a list that is as diverse as it is dazzling.ĭjango Reinhardt, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Julie London, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Supremes, Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart and many more have also recorded their own take.
