Nominated your Villa song for the 2012/13 season
Modify message..... Just came across this site on-line
DELETED. PLEASE CONTACT MAC OR MARTIN FOR AD RATES
Should we change the plan and just get better recording of existing songs???
Being a Villa fan can often be very confusing especially when you look at the fact that smaller clubs than us have their own song and Villa fans love to sing. I have been at Villa Park where we have song different versions of “claret and blue Army” for over 15 min and the villa away supporters always sing their hearts out, irrespective of the dross that was served up to them by the players. I especially remember a league cup game away at Chelsea where on the tube journey home, I heard Chelsea fans talking about the fact that they had battered us but would have swapped victory if they could have been part of a crowd that would sing solidly for 25 min, which was what the Villa fans had done.
It has always been difficult to find a couple of songs that the Villa fans can get behind which do not include bad language, have not been used by someone else, have no references to Birmingham city, and have a popular tune or a simple chorus.
In saying that we've always been good at having a tune / song for a season or that is in praise of one player (it's up to you Dwight Yorke, Dwight Yorke, or John Carew, Carew he's bigger than me or you, or Paul McGrath my Lord Paul McGrath). This would indicate to me that the Villa fans have the desire, invention, and voices to belt out great songs but what we are missing is the coordination, planning and invention needed to successfully put a song in place.
Bearing all of this in mind, and the fact that I, like most Villa fans feel very positive about our prospects for next season, I had a conversation with a woman from my office who is also a professional singer, she said that if I could come up with a song then she would get the backing track and record it for me, which I could then use as my ringtone for next season. The big advantage of this would be she could change the lyrics of the song if required. Unfortunately the only song I could come up with was “Doing the Lambert walk” to the tune of “Doing the Lambeth walk.” Her response was to say “was that the best I could do?” I explained that I would post something on the heroes and villains website, (the brain trust) asking people to come up with three or four songs that she could record and then I would post them on the site so that people could download them.
The plan
So what I need people to do is to come up with popular songs that can be our anthem for next season. They can either be popular tunes with choruses that people can sing along to (which are inspiring bearing in mind most clubs anthems do not mention the teams name). Alternatively if you choose to change the lyrics on a popular tune please include the alternative words in your post so that she can insert them into the song. She has a jazzy/rhythm and blues/R&B, type voice .
If we get a decent response I will ask her to record four or five different songs and then I will put them on the site with a poll so that people can vote for which one will be the heroes and villains official Villa anthem for the 2012/13 season.
I will put all of the songs recorded on you tube which will mean that people will be able to download them (using RealPlayer or similar program as an MP3 straight onto their phones) all for free.
So the question is, are we up for it? Can we be creative? If not us, who? If not now, when? The time is right for us to start this new era with a new song, and so, my fellow villa fans: ask not what your team can do for you — ask what you can do for your team.
-
You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in.
That's not a nomination BTW.
-
Thanks for that …… not
If you can’t be positive please don’t post
-
Londonvilla, did you miss the entire "let's get The Bells are Ringing back" campaign from last season?
-
Only one song for me.
And it's Aston Villa,
Aston Villa F.C.
We're by far the greatest team,
The world has ever seen ...........................................
I will add though regarding "....and Villa fans love to sing. I have been at Villa Park where we have song different versions of “claret and blue Army” for over 15 min and the villa away supporters always sing their hearts out"
Over the past 2 seasons of home games I can't remember us singing for 15 in 90 mins let alone in one go. In fact at times last season Villa Park was like a library
Maybe Paul Lambert will get our vocal chords working again.
-
One (insert player's name here), there's ony one (repeat aforementioned player's name)...
-
Come on lads, didn't you read his second post? Positive posts only.
Now, great idea London, I nominate 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'.
-
On a more serious note, couldn't you contact the Brigada bunch as they have a similar agenda.
-
And cnut of the night award goes to.... Percy McCarthy. Fair play though son, a bit of arse never hurt anyone. Back to the original post, I can't get karim el ahmadi to the time of rock the kazbah out of my head after reading it on here [copyright Mazrim iirc]
-
You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in.
That's not a nomination BTW.
Raised a chuckle ;D

Keep Right On lets add insult to injury and start singing KRO again.

Fuck me this is one wired thread.

Somebody with eleven posts to his name telling us to be positive is a bit rich. This old bollox has been going on for sixty five years to my knowledge and took the form in the early days of mangling the english language to rhyme the names of the teams we had recently defeated. One classic circa 1952 and printed on Sports Argus paper bore the legendary refrain "goodbye Bristol City, farewell Middles Bro, Its a long long way to go to Wembley, but we'll get there I know" We then drew Rotherham in the next round and the whole thing imploded.
Club songs are like laughter, they are spontaneous or meaningless.

How long you been going? i missed the original way we sung the song.
'We're by faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrr the greatest, the world's eeeeeeeeevvvvver seen...'
if you heaven't heard it or forgotten it check out the Villa - Barcelona 83 highlights on YouTube and you'll hear it sung the way only we used to. With a bit of originality.

You just took me back to 1975 and Wembley and my Dad singing something similar to that about the '57 run. He hated Albion and I can see him now singing 'goodbye West Bromwich Albion, farewell Burnley to' silly old sod, although he was my age then. Sigh.... I miss him.
-
Surely Holte Enders in the sky is 'our song'? It's one of the few main ones I can think of that's exclusive to us and sung at every game.
-
It's time we sang 'A knock-kneed chicken and a bow-legged hen' again.
That was always very positive.
-
How about a return of the wonderful..."I would rather be a sausage than an egg"
-
Call round any old time,
Call at Villa Park.
The board of directors will show you around.
In Aston they're singing 'We're Wembley bound.'
Steeped in tradition are we,
Seven times we've won the Cup.
So come on you fans, from terrace and stands,
Sing 'It's up the Villa, up!'
To the tune of 'Call round any old time', surprisingly enough.
-
How about a return of the wonderful..."I would rather be a sausage than an egg"
I once heard "I'd rather be a 'nana than an orange" from one old fellow in the Holte against Blackpool.

Chorus starts just over 1 minute in:
-
I admire the enthusiasm but hasn't this been attempted before? And haven't we had some wannabe record a villa song? Anyway, I'm interested to see how this fella can get a fit woman to lay backing tracks so it can be used as a ringtone. Let's take a small step here, so post the picture of the fit woman and let us decide if she is fit before we continue. Preferably in a position so that we can decide if she is commando or wearing tights

"I will put all of the songs recorded on you tube which will mean that people will be able to download them (using RealPlayer or similar program as an MP3 straight onto their phones) all for free."
People appear to be missing the point, its just a bit of fun, all I wanted was people to nominated a song just for the 2012/13 season.
All the posts so far have been pretty poor in term of coming up with songs ( which probably explain why we don't have one ) however I hope that people are thinking about it and the posts in the next few day will come up with a few good suggestion
-
Well if I had to start a new song I'd be stealing Man Citeh's gimmick a little bit.
'He was stuck with Deliah Smith,
But now he's in B6!
Paul Lambert, Oh Oh Oh,
Paul Lambert, Oh Oh Oh,'
Repeat until vocal chords collapse.
-

Thanks very fucking much. If you had been on a coach/train, or in the home end at an away ground, in the 70s with everyone singing 'a knock-kneed chicken' or in the 60s belting out 'call round any old time' you wouldn't think it was poor.
Like a school report. Must improve!

Think you're being a touch pick on the amount of a's and e's PW :D
I was a regular from '70 - '83 then had a break as I was p**sed of with Ellis and other. I was at the Barcalona game.
So I used to be there when Villa Park was a noisy place

Londonvilla any chance you could ceased using 'nominated' as a verb?

There's more to Holte Enders In the Sky than the chorus. Remember the 60's and 70's when we used to sing the whole song?
Went walking down the Witton Lane one dark and dusky day,
I spied a poor City fan a-running far away.
I said to that poor City fan "It's time for you to die".
He said "Yes I know sir - Holte Enders in the sky".
He ran down the terraces and fell towards the gate,
Little did he know that death was sure to be his fate,
He had one more short hour to live and then he'd hear the cry
That ev'ry City fan does fear - Holte Enders in the sky.
Their fists were just like granite and their pockets lined with lead,
And if they catch a City fan he's sure to wind up dead.
Cuz Villa fans rule Birmingham and City fans know why,
Cuz they have seen the glory of...
Holte Enders in the sky.
Yippee-eye-ayyyy, yippee-eye-oooohhhh
Holte Enders in the sky.
Towards the end of last season the Brigada lads started doing 'Three Little Birds' complete with reggae rhythm hand clapping.
It sounded pretty good.
Here's Ajax doing it.........

11/12 has gone, just like that fucking clown,
12/13 is here, so let's not be so down,
we can rely on bent,
to earn his bloody rent,
Cos we're Aston Villa.
You pick the tune, I just do the lyrics.

Londonvilla any chance you could ceased using 'nominated' as a verb?
Ahahaha. But yes, Risso is righted.

I'm suprised nobody has suggested 'shit support ma'lord' yet.

Altogether now.................My old man said...................
y'know the rest
-
Come on gents...we've got a fellow Villa fan here trying his best to not only get a new Villa song sorted but has got a fit girl to lay down some vocals and may be get his dick wet. Help a fellow Villa fan out lads!
-
London Villa, to get this girl on her back, join the connundrum thread! We all give each other shit advice and laugh at the concequences, its a lot easier than making up songs
-
Come on now, we should help this fellow out. He is willing to pay out of his own pocket, to record our season song. And not to mention some fit bird will sing it, for free.
That is what you are proposing right?
-
Any chance of seeing how fit this bird actually is? Purely to inspire me, I mean us, to musical greatness.
Or maybe we could to a modern version of Spink rolls the ball.
-
So what happened London Villa, d'ya get laid or what?

What's the name of the song that we use the tune of to sing "come on Villa, come on villa, come on villa, come on"? One of my favourites if sung loudly and passionately.

The synic in me wonders if LondonVilla having had no joy here is on another fans forum trying to drum up interest for this little business adventure
-
"the only thing that hepls me pass the time away is knowing I'll be back at Villa park one day"
This can be used by some wordsmith to the tune of Echo beach - Martha and the Muffins surely? As i'm at work I couldn't open the link so if its already been done apologies.
-
The song that made me laugh the most was "i'd rather be a speedboat than Kanu" at the Baggies.
-
Hi Vancouver
The fact that you posted this say more about you than me.
"The synic in me wonders if LondonVilla having had no joy here is on another fans forum trying to drum up interest for this little business adventure"
I only post on this site and have no links with http://fanchants.co.uk/football-team/aston_villa/ which is free to uses. Why don,t you just relax and have fun with all of this.
Don't let the "Synic" win
-
Are you Michael Dennis?
-
I know its been tried already but surely if you have a talented vocalist then may be you could get her to show the club how "The Bells Are Ringing" should be done...its the one true Villa anthem that the fans want, and seemingly the club, but last seasons efforts were a joke...if it can be done properly to resurrect the song on the Holte then you'd deserve a standing ovation.
-
Sorry LondonVilla, but we saw all this last year culminating in the bells attempt. It's a good try but you do get tired of another sing song thread esp one that includes fit birds and recording of the tracks. With just a few posts and this idea, which would obviously cost money, you could be forgiven for believing that this is a bit of a scam. Or at the least a far fetched idea. If you can pull it off then I take it all back.
Now, back to the thread. What's your favourite so far and when on earth is the picture of the fit bird to sing it???
-
Just came across this site on-line
http://fanchants.co.uk/football-team/aston_villa/
Should we change the plan and just get better recording of existing songs???
What we need is the proper Bells are Ringing being played at full volume over the speakers. Nobody wanted that new version. If you want these things to happen, you have to persist. Nothing would be better than 40000 Villa supporters belting this out before every home game.
-
Have you seen the Holte End on a Sat'dy afternoon
As they celebrate another Villa win?
Do you remember Andy Lochead scoring diving headers?
Or Willie Willie Anderson running down the wing?
So how can you follow U-ni-ited,
Or Liverpool when they're doing fine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Aston,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.
-
Oh little town of Aston
How still we see thee lie
Beneath thy deep and dreamless sleep we hear the Holte End cry
WE'RE THE VILLA, WE'RE THE VILLA
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

Hello, hello, how do you do
We are the boys in claret and blue

We hate the boys in blue and white
We'll sing a song of victory
When Villa win Division Three
The City fans will never mock
When they remember Bruce Rioch.

Slightly before Div 3 days can anyone remember a Villa song to the tune of Bye Bye Blackbird? I only vaguely remember a line that went ' when somebody waits for me, what's his name?, Lew Chatterley, etc etc. could be I dreamt it, I am at that age when the mind starts to

Then again, I could be the other bloke in your dream singing the same words over and over again.

No, you are right, unless I'm also in this bizarre dream. One of the first home matches I went to was v Blackburn (67/68, lost 1-2, I think) and it was changed to "Bye bye Blackburn". It survived into the Doc's era, "...what's his name?-"Docherty""
-
So proud to wear the claret and blue,
We're Aston Villa's chosen few,
Inventors of the Football League,
The greatest club in history,
And if we stand together strong,
Who dares our fate deplore?
The burning flame of Villa's name,
Confronts the world once more.
So hold the claret banner high,
Beneath its folds we'll live or die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the lions' flag flying here.
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the lions' flag flying high,
Cos Aston Villa will never die.

LondonVilla, What's your favourite so far and when on earth is the picture of the fit bird to sing it???
Yeah come on LondonVilla, you've had plenty of suggestions so far, but you haven't commented on anything you've seen.

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 fan 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.

Slightly before Div 3 days can anyone remember a Villa song to the tune of Bye Bye Blackbird? I only vaguely remember a line that went ' when somebody waits for me, what's his name?, Lew Chatterley,
I think that may have been the whole song.
When somebody waits for me, what's his name? Chatterley.
I have also been reminded of Zigger, Zagger, Zigger, Zagger, Chatterley.
This was preceded by alternate, repetitive, shouts of 'Ziiiiiiiggggggeeerrrr' and 'Zaaaaaaaaggggeeeerrrrr'. I think that would be a great old song to bring back with a new name to go with it. Great at a pissed up away match with a huge following. Ziggers coming from the left and Zaggers from the right.

When I was young my father said
Son I have something to say
He said, son, you are a Villa fan
And that's the way to stay.
Happy to be a Villa fan
Until your dying day.
There was an amended version where it went
...He said, son, you are a City fan
Ending up with
Bollocks, I am a Villa fan etc etc.

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

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.

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.
