Which is now why you can see elephant-washing and mother-whoring makes it interesting. They're two elements you rarely see on a football pitch. :dance:
Adebayor chant, just plain wrong! yeah, the threads still going

(1) The chant is MOST DEFINATLY racist and offensive. Anyone that tries to say otherwise is talking bollox.
(2) ....It's also fucking hilarious
(3) I support Tottenham NOT the scum and THAT'S why it is funny. Does that make me a racist. I don't think so...
I think people need to realize that although the chant is somewhat racist, it's more a dig at Arsenal and our dislike of them and there players and not so much a dig at the colour of the guys skin or his heritage.
Things can be delved into to much. I would personally like to see this off the terraces but eh...this ain't kiss chase it's football and such things happen with all football fans across all teams with FAR worse chants then this one!

i agree totally the card always gets pulled and i think people should step back and find the humour within this song... the whole racist thing now is very distorted....

That isn't racist you fucktards. Where are Elephants from? Are we talking about Indian Elephants?
Elephants are all over the world, as are whores.
Pricks.

I have not spoken 1 testicle ... and can you explain why it is racist? (And not use the phrase "because people think it is".)
People used to think the Sun orbited the Earth. (In fact, rather worryingly a whole load of people who my Mum teaches [adults] still thought that - poor Galileo :-()

LOL, fucktard's a good word.
But come now, if elephants came from all over the world there wouldn't be much point directing it at Adebayour would there? Cars are from all over the world, I wonder why they didn't sing
Adebayour
Adebayour
His dad washes cars
And his mum's a whore!

One should not call them either. So stop denigrating a relatively good Spurs Chat discussion.

i don't usually care about these things, but I do wonder... if the chant isn't racist, then what is it? I mean, it's not funny... If there WAS hidden racism intent, then at least it would be at some level, clever, but if you guys are insisting it's NOT racist, then what the hell is the point of it????
Adebayor, Adebayor..
your dad washes elephants and your mums a whore - it's off beat and doesn't rhyme.

Humour suffers the same fate as beauty - in that it is in the eye of the beholder.
Obviously you hate Izzard and his random ramblings as a point of humour. I find this funny as the original chant is so dull that the randomness and the image constructed of his father actually washing an elephant is amusing as a starting point - and the day calling someone's Mum a whore becomes unamusing, well, is the day I become dynamoSpurs I assume.
Must ... find ... way ... to ... be ... insulted.
Jeez. People try to look for offence these days and it's a very sad state of affairs.

Lighten up you lot, my family are Irish, and my dad told me all about the no blacks no Irish and no dogs thing because he went through it, I never once saw him get annoyed at thick Paddy jokes, and neither do I, PC madness!!

Stoof man...come on eh :wink: I really didn't want to get drawn into over anyalizing this chant but here goes....
Adebayor, Adebayoooor
His Dad washes elephants and his mother's a whore...
Is obviously referring to his black heritage and Africa and then putting a poor African black man's slant on it about his dad washing elephants as a job (elephants obviously African/Indian...in this case obviously African) and his mother being a black whore.
^^ you telling me thats not racist??...Personally I don't give a toss because it's slating the Woolwich scum to which I hate so much
Another way to look at it is simply this...What if Adebayor was from SOUTH Africa and was white & not black. Would that chant still exist....I think not so in that respect......It's racist.
