"Get yourself together, Jones" - Ray Davies
Miley Cyrus, The Climb
New Model Army are from Bradford, and a few of their songs include references to the surrounding hills, e.g. from "High":
"Down beneath the swoosh of the turbines, the long grass blows in ripples
There's a beautiful spiral of roads that leads the lost up here
I was watching the birds taking off to swoop down over the city
They find and take just what they need and turn, turn, turn
The movers move, the shakers shake, the winners write their history
But from high on the high hills it all looks like nothing"
Scramble the rock face through the glare of morning sun — to run
Prodigy - Run with the wolfs.
Not quite fell related though....still a TUNE!
What about Rodgers & Hammerstein, that well-known Elite Mountain Marathon team. Surely they wrote the definitive fell-runners anthem?
Climb every mountain, search high and low
Follow every byway, every path you know
Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
/ C D G - Gm7 C Fmaj7 - / Fm6 - C - Dm7 G7 C - / :
A dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live
/ F - / Dm G C Cmaj7 Am D7 /

Climb every mountain, ford every stream
Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream
