You're Not Singing Any More
"You're Not Singing Any More" is a football chant in the UK used by the supporters of a team towards the other team's fans who have become silent for one reason or another, such as because they have just conceded a goal or had a player sent off. It was used in an episode of the BBC television programme ''The Green Green Grass'' when Boycie found out that Elgin got less money than he expected in the ''Antiques Roadshow''. It was also chanted by Mrs. Doyle and her friends during a football match in the Channel 4 ''Father Ted'' episode "Escape from Victory". It was recently sung, in a rare cricket context, after Ben Stokes had brought about a historic and unlikely victory over Australia in the third Ashes test at Headingley in August of 2019, when the majority English crowd on the Western Terrace taunted the small Australian contingent. The chant is simply that phrase repeated several times to the second half of the Welsh hymn tune "Cwm Rhondda". An alternative version sung to the ...

Cwm Rhondda
Cwm Rhondda is a popular hymn tune written by John Hughes (1873–1932) in 1907. The name is taken from the Welsh name for the Rhondda Valley.

The tune and hymn are often called "Bread of Heaven" because of a repeated line in this English translation. In Welsh the tune is most commonly used as a setting for a hymn by Ann Griffiths, ("Lo, between the myrtles standing"), and it was as a setting of those words that the tune was first published in 1907. Tune John Hughes wrote the first version of the tune, which he called "Rhondda", for the Cymanfa Ganu (hymn festival) in Pontypridd in 1905, when the enthusiasm of the 1904–1905 Welsh Revival still remained.
