Alreet...
One song that has always stuck out to me as being an amazing tune is Jerusalem which is sung at the BBC Proms by big crowds, The Rugby Union and was a football song back in 2002/4 I think... Always thought with a touch of lyrical tweaking it would be a rousing tune to sing should the lyrics fit... Now before I get scribbling how about some of you boys/girls have a listen and see what you think...

This is a classic anthem, and when you hear it, describes Huddersfield perfectly.
William Blake could have been sat on a hillside overlooking the town when he put these words together.
I'd sing as it as it was intended, anything else is an injustice.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Yup it's an awesome song/hymn/chant.
I'd be tempted to swap Jerusalem for Huddersfield maybe just to personalise it - but otherwise it's a bit of a sacred song!!
Let me see....
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
That saw Huddersfield builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Cos we have built Huddersfield Town
The greatest team in Inger-land
Bastardised and raw but you can kinda see where I'm coming from...
I reckon it'd get Jimmymac weeping ;D
