"Baby don't worry about a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright".
Not sure if this was it's first airing at St Mary's last night but it seemed to go down well on the left hand side of the away end.
I think we should really make this our song now. (Just keep the beat slow, it went too fast at the end!!)
Amongst all the Gallows humour last night and songs about how shit we are, this song just made me smile.
-
We sang it at home to Fulham in 2011. Had the Holte rocking.
-
This gets the nod from me, especially in the situation we currently find ourselves in. Though Ajax do sing it it wouldn't be as bad as another rehashing of Sloop John B or 7 Nation Army.
-
Three Little Birds is alright. We should learn the rest of he words mind.
The songs about how shit we are etc were moronic, but when every year 10 and 11 appeared to be on a jolly from school, it wasn't hard to see why the moron stakes were upped.
Kids em daft.
-
Could have been worse. We were singing a version of Yellow Submarine. Da yoots probs never heard of it.
-
I think it's a woeful song so I hope we don't.
-
In 1985/86/87 it was Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life... It was then hijacked by another group of fans, who stripped it of the irony and made it "their" song.
-
I'm possibly his biggest fan, but this song is a right stinker. Can someone rework Hello Darling by Tippa Irie? ( one for the teenagers! )
-
Can we get Musical Youth out of retirement to write us a relegation anthem?
-
if its going to become an anthem it needs to include a verse or at least 6-8 lines of the song or it becomes tedious and annoying like palace (or whoever it is) that sing two lines of Mrs Robinson over and over and over. It makes them sound so stupid.
-
My girlfriend can't stand Bob Marley, so it gets my vote.
-
I'm working on an adaptation of 'Police Officer' by Smiley Culture (RIP).
Will report back.

Would have been cockney translator if Sherwood was still here

Happy Talk in Captain Sensible mode would well suit the limited vocal range of our chaps, and conveys much the same sentiment.
I'm Villa Till I Die was very impressive last night, and I suppose the original lyrics could be restored and delivered in Figgis (James Bolam) mode to supply a sufficiently maudlin backdrop to proceedings. Or maybe Happy House by Siouxie and The Banshees should things go further pear shaped.
-
Can we not sing something from when Lee Perry was working with him? Or at a push, something off Catch a Fire?
Either way, we should go for a song featuring Aston (Villa) "Family Man" (Earl) Barrett.
-
Excellent idea - lets go for it!

First aired in the 6-2 defeat to Tony Woodcock in 1983 I believe (my mates tell me this as I was a student in Paris that season).
I think the Brigada boys are behind the Three Little Birds song.

Restoring the original lyrics to only when I laugh is a great shout

Yeah remember it well, proving that the Holte can always see humour in anything

Let them be, we have The Specials - You're Wondering Now.
-
I can't stand Bob Marley so no thanks.

Would you rather those morons support Man City or Chelsea?
-

Pass (to) the Frenchie (on the left hand side).
I also have a 7" picture disc of a track of theirs called Never Gonna Give You Up. Maybe that could work?

Why not? They were my heroes. From about 3/4 years old (1983/84), I used to play loads of their records on my orange dansette. My Dad scratched my name into the run out groove on the records as though the band had deliberately done it just for me.
It was them (and UB40), that led me into loving Jamaican music as much as I do now. Nowt to be ashamed about.
-
Bit too commercial isn't it? Absolutely everyone knows the Legend stuff.
How about 'I'm Hurting Inside' - also by Bob and a far more apt, and a much, much better song, with a brilliant horn section.
Lyrics are bang on for us too..
'Don't you know I'm..
I'm hurtin', hurtin' inside...
Oh I'm hurtin'
Who cares
Who cares
Does the one who love
Oh...Feel the pain
Feel the pain!'

Tell Me Why is their best work by a mile
-
Isn't it borrowed from Ajax or Dortmund or someone? It seems familiar somehow.
-
Anyone at the baseball ground about 76/77 for the villa version of status quos "rocking all over the world"
Absolutely brilliant
-
-
I can't stand Bob Marley so no thanks.
Neither can I. It's a no from me.
-
Always look on the bright side of life would be good to get going again .
We know it's ours despite what others claim .

Are we not allowed to criticise any Villa fans now?
We have loads of imbecile fans. So do most clubs.
-
When your smiling song from the 70s was and always will be in my eyes the villa song
-
The Earth Dies Screaming by UB40, off Signing Off.
It just has the right feel in terms of describing watching us these days.
-
Or maybe One in Ten by UB40 would be more appropriate, that reflecting our league win rate this season.

*applause*
-
I always thought Go square Go by glasvegas was a football chant with guitars. Its prime material for some club to take ownership.
-
Ah, thanks PWS. I think the main, and surprising, take away from that is that any lilting ballad can be improved by being chanted by 5000 slightly scary Dutch fellas. Dido, take note.

I wasn't having a go, but, being a teacher in Brum, I'm always delighted when children support the Villa as far too many support Chelsea/Man City/Man Utd etc.
The fact they're supporting Villa should be celebrated, not knocked.

That's fine, but I'm just happy people that young actually support Villa.

I'm not sure that joining in with opposition chants that we're going down and that we're f@@@ing shit, in the first 10 minutes of a game that's still 0-0, actually counts as support.
-
The Earth Dies Screaming by UB40, off Signing Off.

Different genre, but Fade To Black or Welcome Home (Sanitarium) or Sad But True by Metallica would all do a job.
Whoever the new manager is, he'll be hoping we adopt Patience by Guns'n'Roses and by the time this is all over I suspect we could all be singing along to Lithium by Nirvana.
-
Any decent song that has Villa til i die as the closing line has my vote, inspirational.
-
What??!!!......
-
I hate the song & the singer
-
I'm sure I've heard the Leicester fans singing three little birds but a speeded up version that they can clap their new fan fucking clappy things along to. I noticed Watford have joined the "look at us now we're in the Premier League and we're making loads of noise and waving flags and holding our phones up and singing songs nobody's heard of" brigade. Where were you all 3 years ago when you were shit and the place was half empty?
-
Got to be French now, surely?
.... not that I can recommend anything particularly relevant.
-
Surely there must be a French band with an appropriate name ...
-
Non je nes regrette rien.
As Randy whistles cheerfully as he thinks about his decision to buy us...

See also Norwich, Southampton, Swansea, Stoke (of whom an Evertonian acquaintance of mine once said "They make out they're dead 'ard an 'dat. In the eighties they'd bring 400 with flasks an' butties" and many others. But none were ever so bad as this:

Good thinking. Something by Saint Etienne then....

Isn't the phone thing some sort of solidarity with the steel workers in the NE?

I think the Boro fans did it for that at Old Trafford the other night, not sure why Watford fans do it. Maybe they think they're at an Elton John concert.

Watford seem to think they are dortmund with their black and yellow flags. Bless em

Je me suis levé ce matin,
Souriant avec le soleil levant,
Trois petits oiseaux,
Là, sur mon seuil,
Chantant des douces chansons,
De mélodies pures et vraies,
Disant "c'est mon message pour toi"
-
To the tune of Blondie's Denis, Denis:
Oo Remi doo-be-do
I'm in love with you
Remi doo-be-do
Save us from the poo
Remi doo-be-do
Of Division 2
Remi Remi
You are a foreign man
Remi Remi
You have a lovely tan
Remi Remi
Ou est votre masterplan?
