New songs needed

[PeterWithesShin]

Emi rolls the ball to Cashy on to Booby Kamara and out to super Rashy, super Rashy down the wing like a torpedo, puts the ball up in the airrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, for yet another scorchio.

[Mister E]

I remember when Mull of Kintyre was in the charts and the Holte End sang it right through from start to finish. Quite amazing!

Derby away, Boxing Day 1978. Sung throughout the game by Villa. Brilliant at the time.

[Mister E]

I always liked "When you're smiling .."

[Brazilian Villain]

Rash! Fo-ord!
Saviour of the Unaiverse
Rash! Fo-ord!
He'll save every one of us

This would work for Cash too, and the crowd could still do the aaaahahhhh bit.

Agreed, would work better that way for Cash (and he crowd could do the bass notes with claps). Let's get some classic Queen tunes going in B6.

Fat bottomed John you make the Villa world go 'round.

Was that Derby game the one with the balloons?

[Brazilian Villain]

Fat bottomed John you make the Villa world go 'round.

Like it, good effort!

[chipper]

I like tune elbow- grounds for divorce.
With our lyrics.
I’ve supported the Villa since I was a boy
Woohoohohohohohho (I think)
Etc etc

I would really love us to have an anthem but we're a funny lot when it comes to such things. I quite liked how Don't look back in Anger grew out of nowhere and the rendition from the Holte after we beat SH 4-2 was brilliant but I know there was a lot of resentment to it especially on here. Other clubs seem happy to just pick a song that they have no connection to and adopt it as their own- Forests Mull of Kintyre and Stokes Delilah for example. I can't stand either personally but I think it would be great if we could find a song and just go with it. Failing that maybe a musically talented one of our own could come up with something like the Arsenal one I think that's pretty good.  We've heard one or two attempts before but nothing has caught on or deserved to to be honest.

DLBIA is shit and considering the whole 2nd city thing we really should not be picking a Manc song.

Dreamer is the ideal song imo.

There are just loads of better choices from bands that are actually from Birmingham. If it has to be someone not local then Ghost Riders is the one.

But fir the love of McGrath not some shitty Manc wank.

Think so.Were we in the Pop Side?

A Stoke fan told me how Delilah came about. A load of them were corralled in some pub surrounded by Police, and the they were told not to sing anymore football songs. So they sang Delilah and it stuck.

We've existed without an anthem for 150 years without issue, and I don't feel like I've missed out for 53 of 'em.

And if we ever come up with something as contrived and cringeworthy as that shit they play at Woolwich, I'd stop going down.

[Tuscans]

Time Rogers had a tune...

When you score you make the Villa sing,
Rogers on the wing, Morgan Rogers on the wing,
Every time you get the ball we know,
You're gonna score a goal, our superstar from down the road.

Agree I wouldn't want it written for the purpose of that.

Vintage Arsenal.

[Drummond]

One Villa song now,
there's only one Villa song now,
one Villa sooong now......
