Can you identify the football chant song?

I can't for the life of me think what it is, it's an instrumental that's like trumpets or something and it's like: BAH - DAH -DAA -DA! (brief pause) BAH - DAH - DAAAAAH - DAHHH and just kinda repeats like that. Any help greatly appreciated.

I was about to say Rock and Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter before I listened to your rendition.

Mainly used by Queen's Park Rangers, I think. The fans chant “Boo!” (or something like that) every so often during the tune

Middlesbrough also use a version of the song called *Reach Up* (though referred to as Pig Bag)

I can't hear Pigbag without thinking of Villa-era Thomas Hitzlsperger. No idea why as I'm not a Villa fan.

It's Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag by Perfecto Allstarz.

There's nothing more annoying than not being able to find/remember the song behind a chant! Happened to be the other day, mind went blank and spent an age trying to remember where the tune to "he scores when he wants" and other chants comes from. It was rattling round in my head for ages! (it's Sloop John B by The Beach Boys, to save that same annoyance to anyone reading)

So true! This vocaroo thing where you hum and share a link really worked well!

I didn't know vocaroo was a thing, this has probably solved 99/100 of these problems now.

Nailed it. Thank you so much!!!

Sorry that's not the one, I'm not sure the original song actually has words until they're added as chants, it's more just the trumpets/ instrumental.
