Cockney Rejects are an English punk rock band that formed in the East End of London in 1978.[1] Their 1980 song "Oi, Oi, Oi" was the inspiration for the name of the Oi! music genre.[2][3] The band members are supporters of West Ham United, and pay tribute to the club with their hit cover version of "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles", a song traditionally sung by West Ham supporters.[4]
