Not always harmonious, rarely humble and just occasionally humorous, chanting at football games is a tradition that is just about still going.
The changing landscape of the Premier League may mean not everyone who has a ticket these days is keen to open their mouths and join in, yet there is still something special about fans uniting in song.
At Liverpool, the pre-match rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" remains a huge part of the whole experience of being at Anfield as a spectator. The Reds, though, are far from one-hit wonders.
Through the many ups and downs, the club's fans have developed a varied songbook that, through the years, has been heard all across Britain and Europe.
