Nominated your Villa song for the 2012/13 season

[peter w]

Away in a manger
no crib for a bed
the little Lord Jesus
woke up and he said


WE'RE THE VILLA, WE'RE THE VILLA,
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

[Pat McMahon]

One day as I walked up the steps of the Holte End,
As I walked to the Holte End one day,
I spied a poor Blues all cut up in ribbons,
All cut up in ribbons and shit on they say.
I said to that Blues fan 'what have they done to you
And why have they treated you in such a way?'
He said 'All I did sir was come up the Holte End
And say Aston Villa were old men at play'.
The Holte End dain't like it
They rose up to fight it,
They kicked him in the bollocks,
They kicked him in the head,
And now that poor Blues fan is pushing up daisies,
He's pushing up daisies he's so fucking dead.
Now let that be a lesson to all of you Blues fans
Who come up the Holte End to sing and to fray,
If you say a word against our Aston Villa,
Then they'll be the last words that you ever say.

The Holte End Lament IIRC Percy?

One of my favourite songs but I have not heard it since small groups of pissed blokes used to sing it at the back of the Holte in the late 70s.

What is the tune by the way? I have no idea what song it came from

[Percy McCarthy]

The tune is Streets of Lareda, probably on youtube somewhere Pat.

[Vancouver]

Typical, comes in with big ideas then disappears

[Dave Clark Five]

Typical, comes in with big ideas then disappears

We have all been very poor and should hang our heads in shame.

Cheers Percy. I have found it on the Chinese equivalent of YouTube. I didn't realise the version we sing was so much quicker than the original.

Suckers for a sob story

[mrastonvilla]

karim el ahmadi sung over and over to the tune of seven nation army by the white stripes would work. And even I could learn the words!

[Dave Clark Five]

Clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap, clap, clap
VILLA!

To the beat of Hold Tight by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.

Chin chiminey, chim, chim charoo. We are the bastards in Burgundy And Cobalt.*


*That's our colours according to one of last nights commentators from Chicago.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

The bells are ringing for the Burgundy and Cobalt.........Cobby Alt, Cobby Alt.....

[Pat McMahon]

Burgundy? Burgundy?!!? Don't our American friends know anything about wine? Claret is Bordeaux, not effing Burgundy.

You'll be telling me next they put coke in whisky.

Nah, they put coke up their nose's.

[Pat McMahon]
