Sweet Caroline

[Scratchins]

It is sung at a number of grounds and our fans always join in. Best was at Stoke in February, we sang,they didn't so they took it off.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm appreciating that today's major concern on here is why our players sing Sweet Caroline. It's kind of a different vibe to this time last year. It's so good!

[Dr Butler]

this was always a favourite in the King Edward VII if I remember right...well it always seemed to be playing when we were in there

It became a Villa thing at Half time at Stoke. The bloke on the PA played it, Stoke weren’t singing along so we did and the players were already out with a flea in their ears from Smith and the rest as they say is history.....

We are the only team in the world that would walk up Wembley steps to Black Sabbath (obvious reasons)
 and then Unmade silent movie

have to say I love all that because it's unique to us

That's when I started to cry, it hit me then

We stole it from the Boston Red Sox.

Who stole it from me and my mates in 1978 from the Beir Keller below Bogarts on New Street. Mind you, after 3 Litres of Lowenbrau you'd sing anything.

It got back "en vogue" with the cricket T20 and one dayers quite a while ago (last year)...Bumble used to bang on about it all the time...I've been singing it for a good year and it's "so good so good so good" to hear the boys belting it out....

[amfy]

In 2010 we went to Silverspoons before the League Cup Final and it was all a bit weirdly flat until they played Sweet Caroline and everyone belted it out.

Jane & I have felt like it’s been our anthem ever since! It’s great for us to see it taking off like it has!

[GXVilla]

I'm very impressed you could remember what you were singing at the Bier Kellar Bren'd!
Favourite haunt of mine too at that time, but after all that Lowenbrau could never remember what we were singing!!

Still struggling to get my voice back. After match celebrations in the Green Man garden got a bit lively for an old un!!

[Luffbralion]

Anybody else think this should replace Don't Look Back in Anger?  Sweet Carolina is loved by the players, exemplifies their connection with the fans, will always be associated with Monday at Wembley ....and can still be sung after a night out on the Lowenbrau!

Ha. On occasion there we even had a Caroline with us and she was sweet too, still is as well at 60.

Friday night Beir Kellar, Villa Park Saturday, you new Villa were about to take over the world.  Sort of the same feeling now minus the certainty.

Me too

[Clampy]

It was definately sang at half time at Stoke and it seemed to give the whole away end a lift. We are all turning into Diamond-ettes!

[London Villan]

What is the deal with "Unmade silent movie" I know when we used to play it, but why did we become associated with the tune? Try explaining it to a 15 year old Villa fan...
