Oggy Oggy Oggy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi.
The Oggy Oggy Oggy chant (alternately spelt Oggie Oggie Oggie), and its numerous variations, are often heard at (primarily British) sporting events, political rallies and around Scout and Guide campfires.
The usual form of the chant consists of two groups, one shouting the word "Oggy!" and the other group shouting the word "Oi!" Often a single individual will shout "Oggy" and everyone else will shout the reply. The words are shouted according to the following pattern.
OGGIE SONG
This is perhaps the most used of all the Naval dit’s is the ‘Oggie Chant’. Now firmly adopted by the Devonport Field Gun Crews along with its accompanying ‘Oggie Song’. However since at least the 1950’s these items have not remained the sole property of Devonport based ships but have become universally adopted by the whole of the RN. In fact it has become, what can only be described as the unofficial anthem of the Royal Navy.
It is regularly used on all sporting and social occasions. However it must be stressed in inter-area competition its use exclusively reverts to the Devonport area teams or ships. In silent recognition of its origins. Although many other civilian organisation are known to claim ownership or rights of usage their historical claim canot predate those of the RN..
Oggie ChantThis is the core chant or phrase. It is used individually, or as part of the chorus. From at least the the era of World War 2 it has been the rallying cry of all Devonport ratings. But as mentioned previously has now been adopted by the whole of the RN.
