Why haven't we Got an anthem

[Legion]

Possibly. I don't know of one definitive version, i.e. replace the first Villa with Holte End.

[JJ-AV]

Bells Are Ringing is a great song, I've only heard it a couple of times though.

Villa to Amazing Grace when done properly is magical.

We don't need an anthem.  We need a Power Ballad.

As the players walk out, imagine James Collins' bald head, full screen and starting at the camera, weeping as he mimes:

 It's been four months and eighteen days,
Since you took your ball away
Since you been gone we can't sign whoever you want
Pay as much as whatever you choose
Waste forty grand a week on Newcastle reserves
But nothing
etc., etc.,

[AlexAlexCropley]

What about a stirring soundtrack:

:

[Legion]

TFAUSM

[Tucson Villain]

TFAUSM

Has to be.

[Bosco81]

I always sang ;
"Everybody is going and the Villa are showing and the villa are showing they're the best in the land"

I've never really had an ear for music so Legion's version may well be right, but no fucker sings it anyway.

[villa1]

I still like the idea of 3 little birds by Bob.

We used to have an anthem in the late 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. It went like this:
My eyes have seen the glory of the Villa win the cup,
Seven times we've won it no one else can catch us up,
We are the boys in claret and blue,
We are the chosen few,
And the Villa go marching on on on......

Trouble is we've been so crap in the F.A cup since1957 that the song became redundant in the late 80s.

[Irish villain]

HolteEnders in the sky gives me goosebumps when I hear it. It's pretty distinctive too.

[villa1]

True. Do the fans in the North Stand sing it too?

[cdbearsfan]

As Barny is a Villa fan we should sing one of Napalm Death's ballads.

There's a slightly more moden variation of that I've heard:

My eyes have seen the glory of the Villa win the Cup,
A magic night in Rotterdam when Dennis picked it up...

[cdbearsfan]

Last time we won the FA Cup we sang Keep Right On outside Wembley. Can't see it catching on again.
