A lot of fans talking about poor atmosphere etc lately, but it strikes me we have very few chants/ songs. Holtenders in the sky/ allez allez although good are totally outplayed .
Maybe 1874 group could work their magic

Oh the Claret and Blue of Villa, I can see it still....

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We've got a brand new star
Rogers not Kaka
There's magic in his feet
And he's a Villa player player player player player player player player player
Tune: Buck Rogers

Too late, our time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye Blues, we've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face Madrid
Emery, oo-oo-oooh....

Onana, Onana watch how he goes
Onana, Onana everyone knows
He's gonna score one or two I suppose
Amadou Onana

A good point but I'm proud if this one and I think it had potential?
I'll keep posting.

Rash! Fo-ord!
Saviour of the Unaiverse
Rash! Fo-ord!
He'll save every one of us
Rash! Fo-ord!
He's a miracle
Rash! Fo-ord!
King of the impossible
He's for every one of us
Stands for every one of us
He scores with a mighty bend
Every man, every woman
Every child, it's the mighty Rash!

Perhaps something between scoring and being eternally injured, would work.

This would work for Cash too, and the crowd could still do the aaaahahhhh bit.

I was thinking of something to the tune of Feed the World or When Will There be a Harvest for the World for Rashford. Something about giving and feeding.

I would really love us to have an anthem but we're a funny lot when it comes to such things. I quite liked how Don't look back in Anger grew out of nowhere and the rendition from the Holte after we beat SH 4-2 was brilliant but I know there was a lot of resentment to it especially on here. Other clubs seem happy to just pick a song that they have no connection to and adopt it as their own- Forests Mull of Kintyre and Stokes Delilah for example. I can't stand either personally but I think it would be great if we could find a song and just go with it. Failing that maybe a musically talented one of our own could come up with something like the Arsenal one I think that's pretty good. We've heard one or two attempts before but nothing has caught on or deserved to to be honest.

I remember when Mull of Kintyre was in the charts and the Holte End sang it right through from start to finish. Quite amazing!
-
Emi rolls the ball to Cashy on to Booby Kamara and out to super Rashy, super Rashy down the wing like a torpedo, puts the ball up in the airrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, for yet another scorchio.

Derby away, Boxing Day 1978. Sung throughout the game by Villa. Brilliant at the time.

Agreed, would work better that way for Cash (and he crowd could do the bass notes with claps). Let's get some classic Queen tunes going in B6.

Fat bottomed John you make the Villa world go 'round.

Was that Derby game the one with the balloons?

Fat bottomed John you make the Villa world go 'round.
Like it, good effort!

I like tune elbow- grounds for divorce.

Woohoohohohohohho (I think)
Etc etc

DLBIA is shit and considering the whole 2nd city thing we really should not be picking a Manc song.
Dreamer is the ideal song imo.
There are just loads of better choices from bands that are actually from Birmingham. If it has to be someone not local then Ghost Riders is the one.
But fir the love of McGrath not some shitty Manc wank.

Think so.Were we in the Pop Side?

A Stoke fan told me how Delilah came about. A load of them were corralled in some pub surrounded by Police, and the they were told not to sing anymore football songs. So they sang Delilah and it stuck.
-
We've existed without an anthem for 150 years without issue, and I don't feel like I've missed out for 53 of 'em.
And if we ever come up with something as contrived and cringeworthy as that shit they play at Woolwich, I'd stop going down.
-
Time Rogers had a tune...
When you score you make the Villa sing,
Rogers on the wing, Morgan Rogers on the wing,
Every time you get the ball we know,
You're gonna score a goal, our superstar from down the road.

Agree I wouldn't want it written for the purpose of that.

One Villa song now,
there's only one Villa song now,
one Villa sooong now......

I'm not saying I want that as a Villa anthem I'm saying it was good how it just grew into something at that time and when the Holte sung it after beating SH 4-2 it was something special. It even made it to foreign sports channels if you remember. HEITS will always be sung but it's not exactly an anthem.

I really liked DLBIA and couldn't care less if Oasis were from Manchester, New Hampshire or Lancashire. The rendition after the play-off win was great. It wasn't a contrived thing either, just started by accident at Reading away. Don't mind HEITS but have always thought TBAR is pretty shite.

Not sure if this has been discussed already but what do people think of the PA announcer at VP starting off songs?
I absolutely hate it.
Yippee Aye Eeee at kick off was bad enough but now he’s starting off players songs after goals too.
-
So long as it doesn't lead to the introduction of music after goals.
-
My efforts peaked with the ode to Omari Kellyman - Piano Man (Billy Joel) but then he left us, to disappear into the Chelsea vortex yet we're still in the mood for a melody.

Maybe not known if you’re under 55 but we invented the “One Aston Villa, there’s only one Aston Villa” chant.
After we lost to Barcelona in 1978 we played Leicester at home (IIRC) a few days later and pockets of Villa fans in the Holte were singing it. It spread around the back of the Holte and by the end of the game had become a full on chant. These blokes had heard the Guantanamero song over in Spain and just changed the words.
This was on the back of “AVFC , Aston Villa are magic” in the 1977 league cup final saga and “Oh Andy” for peak Andy Gray in 1976. The Gary Shaw chant came in 1980 so we invented our fair share of terrace chants. None of these would be classed as anthems though.

Stop trying to claim credit for it, you didn't start the fire.

Summer in Summer Lane would be my choice, but nobody knows it.
TBAR was fantastic backaday.
HEITS has three verses, our fans nowadays haven’t got the attention span.

I invented “wooooah, oh oh, oh oh! Kanchelskis!” To the tune of Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer in preparation for our inevitable signing of the Russian wonder winger.
(We never signed him)
-
I always thought he was Ukranian?
-
We could have used Billy Jean for Philogene but he went and left. Could still sing it whenever we play his team, but I reckon they're off to the Championship again.
Philogene is not our player
He's just some guy we sold ooooon twice
But for a decent price

So he is, though he played for Russia post-USSR. In googling that I found out that he now bears a striking resemblance to Gerard Depardieu.

"Royal & Claret"
(To the tune of Paranoid by Black Sabbath)
[Verse 1]
Runnin’ down the pitch, we’re on the attack,
Claret and the blue, we ain't lookin' back.
Holte End’s roaring, hear the Lions cry,
Villa Park is pumpin’, reachin’ for the sky!
[Chorus]
Ohhh, Prince William’s in the stands,
Singin’ loud, clappin’ hands!
Future king, Villa fan,
Bleedin’ claret, that’s the plan!
[Verse 2]
1960 was our last big prize,
Now Unai’s got us set to rise!
Counter-pressin’, playin’ mean,
Douglas Luiz runnin’ the machine!
[Chorus]
Ohhh, Prince William’s in the stands,
Singin’ loud, clappin’ hands!
Future king, Villa fan,
Bleedin’ claret, that’s the plan!
[Bridge]
Jack’s gone, we don’t care,
We got Watkins tearin’ air!
McGinn’s a warrior, you can see,
And the king-to-be sings "Come on, V!"
[Verse 3]
Villa til we die, no doubt at all,
European nights, we hear the call.
Prince William’s watchin’, royal pride,
Aston Villa, side by side!
[Outro]
Ohhh, Claret Army stand up tall,
We’re the Villa, hear us call!
Prince or pauper, makes no fuss,
Because the Lions roar for us!

Maybe the last truly original song we had was the Dwight Yorke one Decades ago
The closest thing we have to an anthem is HEITS which is uniquely ours
I remember back in the 70’s there was far more original chants when someone started a chant was used by another club it was shouted down
Every song we have now is an adaption of somebody else’s. There is no new uniqueness to our repertoire anymore
Speaking, personally, I’m too old to worry about chanting anymore
Apart from the Villaar Villaar every now and again that’s basically my lot, I’ve done my time and earned my stripes it’s up to the younger Mob now
If anyone wants to create new songs to sing, they have to be simple, all the songs with a load versus absolute waste of time no one is gonna be learning them
Has to be simple few words and easily recognisable tune
The Allez Allez song isn’t ours
If you sing it loud enough and often enough it can becomes yours, like you’ll never Walk alone became Liverpool’s
No one else sings that now but I remember the time everyone sang it
-
It's nothing to do with lack of songs.... It's the laboured 'pinging it along the backline' football and influx of tourist fans displacing loyal, 'priced out' fans which is the reason for the drop in atmosphere at Villa Park.
I only tend to enjoy away games these days. Villa Park is becoming more of a chore than any form of enjoyment for me. Ipswich at the weekend was terrible.
-
I'm sure somebody more lyrical than me could do something with this

I'm led to believe YNWA was originally a Celtic song from the 50s. Just don't tell the Scousers unless you want to hear endless high pitched squeals.
-
I do feel a more spanish flavour could be adopted with some flag swirling and perhaps adopt one or two anthems in recognition for Emery
i’m attending myself on Saturday for Chelsea match making the journey and very excited
I do think tonight and Saturday will see a better atmosphere than Ipswich.
-
Flags can stay with the drums, in a locked box, in a locked garage, in a locked compound with a very big bomb and tripwires all around.
I want to see the game, hear the crowd and enjoy the game.

If we're talking Spanish stuff though, I'll have an Estrella and some tapas

We certainly did and for years before. I remember the first time hearing it get broken up with clapping and speeded up half way through. Kind of lost it's magic.

Give us a goal, Youri Tielemens
Give us a goal tonight
We're all happy that we are Villa fans
Cos you got us feeling alright

Asensio now has the Coutinho song and Rashy has taken Durán's. Not very "new", admittedly. Will be awkward if Wee Phil and Asensio are both here next season. Imagine the step-overs, though.

I know this thread is a bit of fun and they're unlikely to be ever heard at VP. However, I can't fathom why the Let it Be/Emery song never took off.
-
Which songs take off & which don't is a weird quirk really. I mean Vindaloo for John Carew was an absolute tap in but we managed to make up about 3 others for that one player without ever using that one.
I was at Anfield next to 2 guys who I am pretty sure were the instigators of the Gabby 'fast as...' song as they were singing that and one other one their own as loud as they could to try to get it going. Everyone was just laughing (in a good humoured way) including the Liverpool fans next us as we were right by the divide between the home and away fans. Everyone seemed to think it was the daftest thing they'd ever heard but the rest is history.
The other one was to the tune of 'To All the Girls I've loved before'
To Gabriel Agbonlahor
He gets the ball he's bound to score
We're glad he came along
We dedicate this song
To Gabriel Agbonlahor
Which I think is genius but obviously too complicated!
....but look at what we've come up with for Matty Cash when he already had the Polish Cafu song.
It also sometimes seems like the more we like a player, the worse we are at coming up with a decent song! Like we are blushing tongue tied adolescents who fall to pieces when trying to chat up someone we really like!
Anyway- I asked chatGPT to come up with something to Chapel Roan's 'Good Luck Babe' & it gave me 3 verses, a chorus and a bridge which don't even fit the tune let alone say anything that would make a decent chant but..
much more simply from me....
The Villa! The Villa!
You'd have to stop the world just to stop The Villa!
Or ....you could think of a 3 syllable forward and say 'You'd have to stop the world just to stop him scoring'
-
and then i saw his pace
it's Andres Garcia
and he plays
down Villa's right side
I'm in love...

Old classic, to The Red Flag:
Hello there and how d’you do
We are the boys in claret and blue
We love to sing, we love to fight
We hate the boys in blue and white
We’ll sing this song of victory
We’re gonna win division three
And City fans will never mock
When they remember Bruce Rioch.

How do people find the music that is now being played during match day games?
Some of this music can help improve the mood, and I can recommend a few songs to play before the game begins , half time and after. Although it is not boxing, several classic uplifting tempo beat tunes can help to lift the mood.
I have a few recommendations and will attempt to get these things played on Saturday. It's a move away from the rock metal genre that actually many players today dislike, and having a Spanish-themed song or two throughout the match day event I think would be very appreciated. Don’t forget on ear/headphones and dressing room the players are listening to music.
It’s a slight digression from new songs but it’s in the same topic of music and songs being played at the ground is up for discussion

Andreas Garcia, he's really quite good.
-
^^^ Catchy.
-
Who's Eurovison entry is that?
-
We should just hum the theme from The Godfather at him, but in a slightly disappointed way, as we remember that the one that the other Andy Garcia was in was not as good as the first two.

I know this thread is a bit of fun and they're unlikely to be ever heard at VP. However, I can't fathom why the Let it Be/Emery song never took off.
That would have been amazing, and had the potential, in the distant future, to just revert back to the normal Let it Be lyrics and be adopted as a Villa song in a naturally occurring kind of way.

I've never understood either. Seems perfect.

I'm a Beatles fan but always thought that was a dreadful dirge. No thanks.

Sorry to offend the Rock aficionados amongst us, but Ozzy's "Ordinary Man" might be a great unique opening to a match, with a few word changes:
I was unprepared for fame
Then everybody knew my our name
No more lonely nights, it's all for you
I have traveled many miles
I've seen tears and I've seen smiles
Just remember that it's all for you
Don't forget me as the colors fade
When the lights go down
It's just an empty stage
Okay
Yes, I've been a bad guy
Been higher than the blue sky shite
And the truth is I don't just wanna die an ordinary an aston villa man fan
I've made momma cry
Don't But know why I'm still alive
Yes, the truth is I don't just wanna die an ordinary an aston villa man fan
Many times I've lost control
They tried to kill my rock and roll
Just remember I'm still here for you
I don't wanna say goodbye
When I do, you'll be alright
After all, I did it all for you
Don't forget me as the colors fade
When the lights go down
It's just an empty stage
Okay

Rather this than Oasis.
The Beatles transcend music.
-
Nah. They wrote some good songs but plenty of others have done that.
-
It's a shame the mancs collared this first because our version is way better and historically accurate but I remember a group of us singing this in a pub in London years ago : "Trinity Road take me home to the place I belong down to Aston to see the Villa take me home Trinity Road" To the tune of John Denver's Take me home country road.
-
Take me home, Villa Park
To the place I belong
Up the Holte End, cheering Villa
Take me home, Villa Park.

Following on from amfy’s post about people trying to get chants going at a game, I remember a lad at Stoke away in a pre season game a few years ago trying to start a Matty Cash song. It was to the tune of Money Talks (Dirty Cash) “Matty Cash I want you, Matty Cash I need you woooaah”. Safe to say it didn’t catch on but bless him he kept trying for most of the first half, mainly to howls of laughter from everyone around him.

And the existing ode to the manager is truly fucking embarrassingly awful.

Great song but a proper tonsil buster Can't imagine the Holte being able to sing that tbh

To the tune of Chesney Hawkes, I am the One and Only
"Malen the one and only,
Scoring goals for Unai Emery"
Needs to score first mind!

Slightly off this topic, but I really didn't like the Allez, allez, allez song being played before the game! Do they think we need to have a recorded version to join in with?

With the amount of folk who joined in i think you may be in the minority - personally i think it is a great warm up song.
And the Yippee Eye Aye at KO is great also

Note me down in the “absolutely awful shite” column.

I agree with you about both of those songs - we sing them anyway without being prompted
-
Jeez - there are some miserable buggers on here ;)
I know the razzamatazz is all very "American" but anything that creates an atmosphere is fine by me
Just waiting for the cheerleaders to appear :o

We were singing a variant of this but for Dougie in Lille I think. To the tune of Yes Sir, I can boogie by Abba.
Ohhhhhhhhh, yes sir!
Pass to Ollie
'Cos he's always scoring goals
Pass to Ollie
Super Ollie
All night longggggg

I been working on some player songs sort of following on from my thoughts of pun related Villa players:
working lyrics but all made by my mind
so to start with an obvious one :
could serenade Tyrone with Mings can only get better: A song about being injured and regaining form
-
How about some Abba then
To the winner takes it all tune:
Luca Digne takes the ball: when he takes man and ball in a winning challenge or when he steps up to take a free kick
or maybe
Disasi to the tune of Voulez -Vous
Disasi aha
sign him now dont leave it
aha
now is time we get
aha
he’s showing promise no regrets
Disasi
aha

I have two for our midfield maestro Tielemans:
Youri to me are Every Thing.
Song by The Real Thing
The sweetest passes that he can ping oh Youri oh Youri
Tielemans was not bought - to the tune of Englishman in new york
I don’t misplace passes I make them my dear ….
-
Give them a try next time you're at Villa Park, I'm sure they'll catch on.
-
We have loads of songs at the moment, more variety that I can ever remember. Rogers could do with a decent one, though.
-
Here's a shit one.
Morgan Rogers, can he fix it,
Morgan Rogers, Yes, he can.

If you’re going to correct someone, best to get it right!

The club announcer wants to join in with the songs which is fair enough and we've added a recorded version to the Allez song which isn't fair enough because just like when the Holte End gets any song there is a clamour to speed the thing up because it's been popified which is all wrong. Evidence of this is the song for Leon Bailey where only the words Leon Bailey and Jamaica are audible, the rest is a jumbled mess.
-
I can't believe that we haven't yet adopted whatever tune 'Your ground's too big for you' is for Marco Asensio.
Seems an absolute tap in to me.
-
One Morgan Rogers, there's only one Morgan Rogers.

It's cos they've gone for the Coutinho song but au thought the same!

About time we re jigged Let It Be, for Mr Emery. A tap in for a wordsmith/lyricist
-
Name that tune?
unfortunately there are some bad foul language words (which should really be changed to make it family friendly and inoffensive) otherwise it’s top marks for a top player!
He went to Madrid, he won the league in Spain!
He went to Paris, he did the same again!
He's :o magic and don't you :-X :-[ know!
His name is Marco, Marco Asensio
-
Fucking magic.
-
Remember hearing that one on Wednesday - brilliant!
-
What song tune is this?
it’s great isn’t it but wondering where tube derives from ?
-
Push it

Ok I see the push it song but with a twist! Very Good.
