10 funniest Barmy Army chants

You know how some songs tend to get inside your head? You hear a snippet of a verse and it creeps into your head and establishes residence, refusing all attempts to be evicted. Makes itself at home and echoes all around. These are simple catchy tunes, innocuous notes from the sound of it. But once in, they aren't going anywhere. I've recently had occasion to add some new ones to my roster and I invite you to indulge yourself as well.It is one thing to heckle a player with crass insults, crude signs, or pelting potatoes at them. Players train themselves to tune those juvenile insults out as white noise. But when one is immortalized in verse, it becomes somewhat difficult to un-hear what you heard. For the life of me I can't hear the name Freddy Flintoff anymore without a sing-song voice in my head going "Fre-ddy Flintoff! Freddy Flintoff!"And if I ever have the good fortune of being at a party of Australian cricketers, when the butler announces the incoming guest as "He's Mitchell Johnson", he'll probably have the misfortune of me adding, "And his bowling is sh*te!", then I'd look around with a smug look which a kid gives when he completes a teacher's sentence.The original story of the Pied Piper ended with the Piper leading a bunch of children to their demise in a lake, he led them with the music of his flute. Now that's some catchy tune that you would rather drown than not hear its completion.Here is a look at 10 creative and catchy songs which have caught the fancy of cricket fans, much to the chagrin of the cricketers to whom the song is dedicated to.

#1 The Johnson Family

Sing along to the tune of the music here, mentally replacing the original lyrics with the ones below:

Lyrics

His mother hates his missus
His missus hates his mother
They all hate each other
The Johnson Family 
de le la le de le la le de le la le 

There is something to be said for not airing your dirty laundry. Here is a prime example, someone may end up making a song about your family issues and sing it to taunt your son. Making light of family quarrels is just not done. But if you are going to do it, it is well to do so in a manner as flippant as this.

This song is ingrained in the childhood memories of one and all. But the lyrics bear some measure of truth. Here is what Mitchell Johnson's mother had to say about his girlfriend, and now wife Jessica Johnson. "I get a text on Mother's Day and a text on my birthday. Up until he met Jessica we were very close. But he hasn't spent a night under my roof since he met Jessica."

It would be something if one were to reanimate the opening theme song of the Addams Family by replacing their faces with Johnson's.
