I really like that.
Would love to hear that at VP.
UTV.
-
Bit Mumford and Sons for me Clive. Lyrics could definitely work as a chant though.
-
Jesus fucking Christ.
Utter shite, though I can see why people might like it.
Better than that dreadful allez allez dirge, however.
-
It's grown on me and now I quite like it.
-
Good effort but no. We do need a new song though.
-
Jesus, only slightly less cringe-inducing than that "Aston Villa that's who" atrocity.
-
That's not bad, as these things go. It's a nice idea to use "Oh, it must be..!".

I was waiting Risso 🤣

I thought that was quite mild.

I guess anyone who doesn't like folk music would always hate it. And let's face it, any song written about a football club will always be a bit cringe. If some of it makes it to a chant it won't sound folky then. I'd take a wild stab that Risso and any metal heads on here weren't too keen on Achy-breaky heart but love the SJM song.
But I think it's unlikely that we'll hear it sung in the Holte any time soon.

A lot less cringeworthy that the atrocity you mention. TBH, anything that gets widespread adoption is going to have to be very 'middle of the road' ...

We need to stop trying for an anthem because we all know that anybody who puts the effort in to create one will be met by the usual criticism and negativity on display .
-
I still find it a bit of a puzzle that 'The Sun Never Sets on Aston Villa' by Spizzenergi isn't appreciated as a potential anthem.

Thankfully.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Bof, no. We sing HEITS, it's organic, it's unique to us, it sends chills up the spine. Why is that not enough?
-
"nInTeEn EiGhTy tW0"
-
As a song it is around average but being accompanied with the footage i liked it
Really looking forward to the game now

There's a difference between trying to knock out an 'anthem' and just a player song which is a few seconds long and can be to any random tune at all.

I'd be surprised if many other clubs fans have heard it or know what it is. Five words of it get sung by the Holte Upper, but it's hardly an anthem.
-

I'd be surprised if many other clubs fans have heard it or know what it is. Three words of it get sung by the Holte Upper, but it's hardly an anthem.
It's not for other fans though.

The point is you could take a line or two from that song and it would make a decent chant. But yes, anthem is unlikely.

An anthem is usually linked to a clubs identity. HEITS is not that. It's not even sung stadium-wide.

Always has been iconic for me at least! And you know to be fair, there is an important section of this forum named for it. And like I say, it's unique as a song template so far as I know.
-
I know what you mean Monty and yes HEIST has an important place. I'm just not sure many would see it as a club anthem.
Manufactured anthems rarely work, but everything has to start somewhere.
-
HEITS is great and very much a Villa song, but it's not the club anthem.
I doubt this one will be either, I do think for what it is that it's better than most though and for that I quite like it.

FTFY

I cannot bear Mumford and Sons so it’s a massive no from me. Utter pish.

Exactly, and any time spent trying is a waste that could've been better spent knocking up kit, crest or AI stadium designs.

Still haven’t heard the “Let It Be” Emery song much.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Unai Emery talks to me.
Speaking words of wisdom.
Emery Emery
Emery Emery
Speaking words of wisdom
Emery Emery.
Or some thing like that.
-
Christ that is dirge.
-
Well it started badly, tailed off a bit in the middle and the less said about the ending the better. But apart from that, excellent.
-
It's shit!
-
Who came up with that?
-
I really like it, apart from two things:
1) The music
2) The lyrics
-
The response to this is classic H&V!
-

It's not nice to name and shame.
-

1) The music
2) The lyrics
At least the video doesn't feature the singer's wife at their front door in claret and blue lingerie, waving him off to the game.
*It might, I couldn't watch to the end.

You missed the best bit ;)

This is the correct answer.
-
I cant say I'm a fan of it. I think maybe try a lot of swearing in the lyrics and see if that improves matters.

Is anyone performing at half time in the Conference final? We could have a Liverpool/DuaLipa situation and accidentally pick up a new song.
