Title: Song for Unai Emery
Post by: Brend'Watkins on November 16, 2022, 10:25:37 AM
While over hearing one of this 80's pop songs programmes t'other day I heard the well known DISCO from 1980 by Ottawan (Look it up kids if you don't know it)I got thinking that Unai Emery works perfectly well if you break it down into syllables
U nai Em er y

So with that in mind it goes like this....

U nai Em er y, Unai Emery,
Unai Emery, Unai Emery,

Singin'
U Undefeated..Singin'
N No good at English..Singin'
A Arsenal Reject...Singin
I I I (extended) I
and then back into U nai Em er y

It also works for E M E R Y

Singin'..
E Ebening Jug Ears
Singin'
M Move up the table
Singin'
E Ebening Jug Ears
Singin'
R Rise up the table
Singin
Y Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
U nai Em er y repeat x 4

Apologies in advance for any earworms created.

Jesus Fucking Christ, Bren. What the fuck is this?

Has your brain been co-opted by Farageists or something?

'No good at English'

'Ebening'?

A bit of fun Paulie.    Ebening is a slant at Lineker.

The words can be changed and I'm sure others can come up with some better alternatives.

Those better alternatives being silence and everyone wearing earplugs.

A rare misstep from Bren, nothing two weeks in the Priory and a video apology won't sort out though.

The one doing the rounds at Brighton on Sunday ( with apologies to those who might think it’s a racial stereotype):

Unai Emery
Unai Emery
He eats paella
He drinks Estrella
He loves the Villa

Given that Paella is from Valencia, and Estrella from Barcelona, it's a no from me.

Imagine if Dean Smith went to manage Sporting Gijon and they sang

"Smithy eats Jellied Eels
He drinks Newkie Broon..."

Just Unai Emery to the tune of Come on Eileen, finishing with a long chorus of 'Unai, Unai, Unai, Unai Aye!'.  The club shop can cash in by selling branded dungarees and neckerchiefs.

I was toying around with Daydream Believer:

F*** off Steeeeevie G, We’ve got Emery!

But I'm full of cold and my brain's not working, plus I'm no good at making up lyrics that aren't dirty as hell, so that's all I have. I don't even like that bit as Gerrard is best forgotten. I also toyed with starting off with Unai:

Unai Emmmmmmmery! Bossed it tactically...
He knows to change formations and to unleash Emi...



Who knows?  :-\

We are AVFC
Managed by Emery

He wants to destroy Man City

And we, want to be, Emery


I look forward to my Ivor Novello award arriving in the post

For me it has to be the Dexy's one because -

Lyrics lean towards rhyming with his name with ease

Midlands based band

Song known by anyone over 30 i would imagine

Easy enough for us old farts to remember

Title: Re: Song for Unai Emery
Post by: cdbearsfan on November 16, 2022, 08:32:44 PM
Feel like the obvious song has been staring us in the face, tbh...

"Onetta there in the corner stand
And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything

Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just wait for her clientele

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

Twenty-eight years have come and gone
And she's seen a lot of tears
Of the ones who come in
They really seem to need her there

It's a sacrifice working day to day
For little money, just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
Just to hear them say that they care

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

Already knows
She's seen her bad times
Already knows
These are the good times

Never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

Hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right, alright

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works so hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right, alright

She works hard for the Unai
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the Unai
So you better treat her right

ALL TOGETHER NOW"

Good point, it has to be 'Pride'. 8)

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow

His name is Unaaiii...
Once more cheer the name of Unaaiii...

Fantastic! On the march!!

🎶 We’re on the march with Unai’s army
We’re moving up the football league
And we’ll really cause a stink
When we win everything
‘Cause Villa are the greatest football team 🎶

"Unai's army" has inevitably led me to:

Emery's army are on their way
Emery's army are here to stay
And I don't wanna be anywhere else
But here to-oo-day

Please don't hate me.

Need to change the first two lines round but otherwise, that's not bad at all.

I noticed the above in the Transfer thread and thought best to put in the dedicated thread for Unai Emery songs for the collection.
