The origin of football songs

I watched Barnet FC play today: a rare 3-0 victory over an Aldershot Town team handicapped by the enigmatic performance of a lanky forward called Marvin Morgan, who looked like a Giacometti bronze but who lacked the sculpture's £65m price tag.

At the end of the game, the tannoy announcer said the only way to celebrate the performance was by playing the Bees' club song. What could this be? The Flight of the Bumblebee perhaps? Abba's Honey Honey? Anything by the Bee Gees anyone, say (Saturday) Night Fever?

No. It was Happy Together by The Turtles.

Why, I have no idea.

The origins of the hit song mean something awesomely amazing might have happened in the history of Barnet FC in the swinging sixties, or else someone on the board has a liking for hard-carapaced, amphibious reptiles.

A Google search reveals nothing Turtle-like; no explanation either on the football side's website. The DJ, it seems, just went off on one.

If Liverpool and Celtic fans can have You'll Never Walk Alone, West Ham United followers can sing I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, Manchester City supporters can croon Blue Moon, and Everton addicts can whistle The Theme from Z-Cars, then Barnet ought to have their own song.

C'mon you Bees: you can think of something appropriate, I'm sure.
