Friday night fun.
Assuming people are getting fed up of Oasis blurb, I vote for Keeping The Dream Alive by Freiheit. A most stirring number from back in the day. The words are very apt however. No need to hide, no need to run, because all of the answers come one by one. The game will never be over, because we're keeping the dream alive'.
Alternatives? I intend to send mine in as a suggestion.
-
Don’t give me all that Oasis bollocks. Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie.
-
As we push for promotion “we’ll meet again.... “ should be played every time we win.
-

Yeah, I'm with you.
Something we can all sing along to
-
Definitely needs changing.
-
I'm not a great lover of that Oasis song, but the strange thing is I don't mind hearing it as it means we have won again :)

I think we should stick with DLBIA (the Villa say), at least until we get promoted, hopefully this season. As a post match winning song it came instinctively from Villa fans and was great after the scum match last season at VP.

That's me too. Wish it was something else though, I'd be equally as happy. In fact, I wouldn't mind binning whoever the DJ/announcer is at VP.
-
I think it's absolutely fine. It was a spontaneous moment that perfectly reflected a moment in time and has evolved from there. I'd much prefer this to a contrived "wouldn't xyz be great (typically insert here some heavy metal bollocks maybe with a midlands connection), lets have a poll."
The fans spoke by getting behind the song. In my view it remains perfectly relevant and we should keep it until we are promoted, at least.
-
What fans spoke? I don't remember being consulted.
-
Keep it. It was spontaneous, which is usually better than something planned.
Great song as well (in my opinion) - always reminds me of listening to it played at Wembley just before the 1996 League Cup Final kicked off.
-
What fans spoke? I don't remember being consulted.
The 10,000 or so who sang along with it.
Are you always consulted when new songs get momentum on the Holt?
-
As someone who doesn't sit on the Holte End but as someone who was at Reading that night when DLBIA surfaced purely because Reading PA put it on,
the emotion that shone through in those 3/4 minutes was something to behold. An amazing moment, that you had to be there to appreciate it...i shed
tears of joy in those few minutes....so a massive YES from me keep it.

And there you go. Exactly why it is far more relevant than anything ever selected by a poll of fan focus group. For people who don't like it that is of course unfortunate, but anthems are created spontaneously, not on internet forums. It will have run it's course if and when the fans in the ground stop getting behind it.

I might be wrong, but I remember it as being Roll With It that was played before kick off.

Is that why it surfaced? Because it was played on the PA at Reading?!
I'm a fan of Oasis but I cringe every time it gets played at the Villa. It's got fuck all relevance to us or the city and the sooner it goes the better.

No, why would I be? You're the one who suggested that the fans decided, noone has ever decided on any song which is played over the tannoy, to my knowledge.
I've no idea why someone has chosen to impose this one on everyone.
It's a Man City song, it's embarrassing. Manchester is our rival city. We could do without adding to their vastly-inflated cultural mythos.
-
Plenty of Villa songs such as clarey blue, Aston Villa, we’re the holte end Okay not to everyone’s taste but they are Villa songs. Hate the oasis song simply a throw back to reading last season

The fans chose it by getting behind it. Is it really that hard to grasp?
-
I wasn't at Reading but it has become a bit of a promotion type anthem (if that's the right phrase) every time we win. I'm not overly keen on it but a lot of people like it so I don't see any harm in it.
-
They "get behind it" because it is pumped over the tannoy. And the vast majority don't join in, anyway. We don't need music pumped over the tannoy. Let fans choose what they want to sign of their own accord, rather than this enforced Manc karaoke.

They got behind it in a big way last year. It seemed relevant and appropriate and captured a moment in time. It still seems appropriate and well supported to me and probably will be so until at least the end of the season. The time to stop it is when the fans don't react well to it in decent numbers. Not because a miserable fucker on an internet forum doesn't like it.
-
Like every song out there, some people will join in and others won't. For me personally it means something about my team at a certain moment in time. I join in and will continue to do so for as long as it's played. Even after its run its course and is no longer played publicly at Villa Park, it will continue to be part of my reportoire of Villa songs that I sing along with my Villa supporting family and friends.

This ‘moment in time’ moment has long gone so move on I say to something more appropriate for the club and the region we belong to.

If the fans got behind it, they'd sing it at away games, too. Not just when it is pumped in to the stadium.
The vast majority don't join in, and it quells attempts to sing something more relevant after a Villa win. I have happy memories of leaving Villa Park singing Villa songs, not some Manc song that has nothing to do with us.
Are all the vast majority who don't join in "miserable fuckers", too?
-
It does tend to go down well at the end of home games. It doesn't do anything for me personally but if you don't like it, dont's sing it.
-
I don't like it. I'd rather fans were given the opportunity to sing whatever comes into their heads, spontaneously, rather than having this inflicted on us and making it impossible for any other chant to start, naturally, of its own accord.
-
On the bright side, at least we got rid of that fucking drum. 😊
-
I scarper the moment that the final whistle is blown.
Playing that Oasis dirge over the tannoy just makes me want to get out of there quicker.
-
It could be worse. It could be the cover of Heroes Noel Gallagher did.

I did enjoy the rendition at the end of the Small Heath game at Villa Park last season it even got a mention on German TV! But on the whole I agree with your take on it being a manc song from a manc band who are big man city supporters. The best I can come up with is, The day we caught the train by OCS. Brummie band with a big villa connection. Wouldn't mind hearing that blasting from the tannoy.
-

Or his new single which is genuinely one of the worst things I've ever heard.

The fans did start it; that's the whole point. If we didn't like it we wouldn't sing it.
-
The tannoy started it. I have never heard a single fan sing it at a Villa match except when it is pumped in over the PA.
-
Obviously there was a mass hallucination at Reading and thousands of us are somehow forced to sing it at Villa Park.
-
For some reason I have this weird vision in my head of the whole of VP singing Mah Na Mah Na after the final whistle...nurse !
-
Fans sung it, they enjoyed it, they sung it again, the club caught hold and help along. Who honestly gives a fuck about where the band are from? Seriously it really doesn't matter a jot does it?
What I will say is that the club made a HUGE fuck-up in playing Chelsea Dagger when we played them a few years ago, that was stupid.
-

I've turned the radio off twice today because that came on. It's absolutely horrific.

Don’t give me all that Oasis bollocks. Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Something we can all sing along to
Or hum along to in this case

The suggestion of playing Freiheit in the opening post is one of the most brilliantly random things I’ve read on here. In the spirit of 1980s one hit wonders, I’d like us to do a version of Charlene’s “I’ve Never Been to Me”. We can use it when we’re promoted next year: “I’ve been to Huddersfield, but I’ve never been to Leeds.”
-
“I’ve been to Huddersfield, but I’ve never been to Leeds.”
"I've been to Tannadice but I've never been to Leeds"
-
“I’ve been to Huddersfield, but I’ve never been to Leeds.”
"I've been to Tannadice but I've never been to Leeds"
Fucker.

At the risk of incurring Percy's wrath, if they were to narrow it down to a song with Birmingham connections then you'd really be struggling.

What’s most iconic villa song. I would say 7 times we’ve won the cup. A total upbeat way to finish your afternoon/evening off at the villa

Exactly. Surely a prerequisite of these things is that people actually know the song.
-
That Twang song would be perfect to play at the end of any Villa matches these days, instantly forgettable.
-
The Only Way Is Up!
Babyyyyy
-
It's a great song but if you're looking for something with a Villa or Birmingham connection that fits the occasion and everyone knows then it's gong to be a struggle.
We could all dance out of the ground to some singalong Ska - Enjoy Yourself by Prince Buster, Monkey Man by The Maytalls, You Can Get It If You Really Want, either version.

How about white noise? That would definitely upset the opposition...
On the other hand, it'd probably just infuriate everyone.

The Ocean Duller (clever,eh?) Scene song has always reminded me of “The Day We Went To Bangor” by Fiddlers Dram, only not as good.
Edit. Think it is their other ‘hit’ I’m thinking of, meat and two veg indie rock all blurs into one.

That Twang song is so boring, I think I may now be typing in my sleep. For years and years this debate's been had on here. Now the fans at the games have actually embraced a song, why not leave it at that? Forget the Manc connection: Don't Look Back in Anger has become like Hey Jude; it belongs to the public now.

What you mean keep a song that was spontaneously taken up by fans and has real meaning and resonance to our current situation rather than contrive to shoe horn in a song because a bloke on an internet forum prefers it?

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play?
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
They slowly fade away
So I'll start a revolution from my bed
Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock 'n' Roll band
Who'll throw it all away
It's almost like it was written specifically for the Villa's current situation!
PS I'm pretty sure even Noel Gallagher has admitted in the past that his lyrics are nonsense, words being chosen simply because they rhyme.
-
It was the don't look back in anger line that was relevant and picked up by the fans. I would have thought that was obvious even for the hard of thinking.

I hope this is true, because the alternative possibility, that he actually thinks he has applied some rational creative thought process to them, is even scarier.

I note with interest that my original suggestion of Freiheit hasn’t particularly received universal support. Therefore I’m switching my suggestion to Glen Madeiros- Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You.

Keep it. It was spontaneous, which is usually better than something planned.
Great song as well (in my opinion) - always reminds me of listening to it played at Wembley just before the 1996 League Cup Final kicked off.
That was "Roll With It" pal. That's what the teams came out too.
-
I note with interest that my original suggestion of Freiheit hasn’t particularly received universal support. Therefore I’m switching my suggestion to Glen Madeiros- Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You.
I'm sure we've all sung that under our breath to Steve Bruce.
-
I think it's absolutely fine. It was a spontaneous moment that perfectly reflected a moment in time and has evolved from there. I'd much prefer this to a contrived "wouldn't xyz be great (typically insert here some heavy metal bollocks maybe with a midlands connection), lets have a poll."
The fans spoke by getting behind the song. In my view it remains perfectly relevant and we should keep it until we are promoted, at least.
This. 100% agree.

As someone who doesn't sit on the Holte End but as someone who was at Reading that night when DLBIA surfaced purely because Reading PA put it on,
the emotion that shone through in those 3/4 minutes was something to behold. An amazing moment, that you had to be there to appreciate it...i shed
tears of joy in those few minutes....so a massive YES from me keep it.
Is that why it surfaced? Because it was played on the PA at Reading?!
I'm a fan of Oasis but I cringe every time it gets played at the Villa. It's got fuck all relevance to us or the city and the sooner it goes the better.
So an anthem has to have a relevance to the club and city. What relevance does Tom Jones have to Stoke?

Pretty impressive when all their fans sign it though.
When it was played and had the fans singing DLBIA when we beat Blues last season it was extremely impressive I enjoy watching back the videos of it. It's a shame you find such thing embarrassing.
-
Gillingham's song is 'The Last Waltz' by Englebert Humperdink and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the town. It's probably just an anthem they've adopted, sometimes that's how it happens, the same with Deliah with Stoke. It's all very harmless really.
-
I understand why fans are divided over this song but does it really matter. It will not be played once it has run it course. Is it really that important. When we win, it's played at the end of the match and some fans enjoy singing or listening to it others don't so what? It won't last forever but for the fans that travelled to Reading,that night, it is significant and the memory could last forever. I enjoy listening to it at the end of the match, because it means we have won, so as far as I'm concerned I hope they play it for evermore!
-
Watch from around 1:30, I thought it sounded anthemic blasting out from the Holte.
I seem to remember quite a few fans being involved with Rongtian Ho on Twitter asking for Villa to play this to recreate that 'Reading game' feeling. I guess if enough people feel the same, it will happen. It has happened with Don't Look Back In Anger and I think regardless of where the song comes from or what it may or may not mean, it's taken on a Villa tint.
-
It is just so recognisably a Manc anthem though. It is strongly associated with Manchester, and the band who sings it have a connection with Manchester City. It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things I suppose, but I have heard a couple of non-Villa supporting mates question why we sing it, for similar reasons to those.

Is a great Villa song. And the fans have had the opportunity to sing it at the end of games for years, but it never really happened. DLBIA is working for reasons discussed. But I would like it if The Bells are Ringing was sung a lot more.
-
The Bells Are Ringing - is that soley a Villa song? As in, do other clubs have a claim to it too? reason I ask is that I'm sure I remember listening to WM and hearing it played in the background at another Midlands ground.
Lots of room for error here on my part, of course!
-
I'd just like something that is instantly recognizable as being Villa . As good as DLBIA is it's instantly associated with Man City.
One thing you've got to give blues is KRO, is theirs & theirs only .

I cringed when it started up at Reading last season just as I cringed when tens of thousands of Villa fans were singing Rockin' all over the World at Wembley in 1994.

My granny, who was possibly the sister of UKR's great granny, was the only person I know who knew all the words of An Old Shirt Of Claret And Blue. Take the piss out of her Villa bona fides and you would be on your arse. They don't make grannies like that any more.

Fans sat around me at Wembley in 94 were actually singing along to the Coca Cola "Always the Real Thing" advert song when they played it over the tannoy.

They "get behind it" because it is pumped over the tannoy. And the vast majority don't join in, anyway. We don't need music pumped over the tannoy. Let fans choose what they want to sign of their own accord, rather than this enforced Manc karaoke.
They got behind it in a big way last year. It seemed relevant and appropriate and captured a moment in time. It still seems appropriate and well supported to me and probably will be so until at least the end of the season. The time to stop it is when the fans don't react well to it in decent numbers. Not because a miserable fucker on an internet forum doesn't like it.
This ‘moment in time’ moment has long gone so move on I say to something more appropriate for the club and the region we belong to.
Agree with this, it served it's purpose, has nothing to do with our club or region, Manchester is so far up it's own arse
I don't want to inflate their ego further. The Vamps lead singer is a Brummie ( Villain ? ) do they have a song we can use? Failing that then it's good old Hi Ho Aston Villa for me. Please

I remember that being played in Silverspoons before the 2010 league cup final & it was the first time that day I felt like we were going to a cup final. Its fun & I wanted it to be our song from then.
I was fine with DLBIA for a while but I do think the moment has gone now. It felt uplifting for a while when it started up at the final whistle, but now it feels a bit downbeat to me & I find myself wanting Hi Ho Silver Lining back. I like the whistling song when we've not won though - just the right level of wistfulness.

I love that song but because it was introduced during one of the worst periods in the club's history it just reeks of failure now for me.
I'd be up having Hi Ho Silver Lining back, even though I do think of it more as a Wolves song.

i associate it as something we hear at Wembley after a win. But since we played them a few weeks ago i think of it as a Wednesday song. They sing the whole song, not just the chorus part, and they sang it unprompted a couple of times during the game. Very loudly.
-
I think we need to do better than use a song already popular or associated with other clubs. It’s bad enough recycling others’ terrace chants (see John Terry/James Chester effort), so a bit more originality is needed when choosing a new post match song.

Exactly why I like the Gary Nock song - specifically Villa, written by a Villa fan. Just a shame we were so crap when he wrote it!

It was awesome after the final whistle yesterday. DLBIA still feels right to me.

It only fits with this season.
I don't like the song but there is an argument for it for this season only because of the context and whatnot.
Then consider something else.
-
I'm not a massive fan of it but it sounded bloody fantastic yesterday.
-
I love it and if we go up this season then the song will remain in our memories as a symbol of when Villa began the long road back. When I know we're going to win I look forward to hearing it being played and savouring the happiness around me.

In any case, the song works well now, but playing it after a game against a team from Manchester would be slightly embarrassing, especially when the band are known to be big supporters of Man City.

My thoughts exactly.
Any attempts to manufacture an 'anthem' for us have been met with indifference or outright hostility in the past. And a good thing too, we won't be told what to sing and when by The Man.
DLBIA came about after Reading away; though it seemed to capture our mood more than theirs.
The lyrics are mostly bollocks (as most Gallagher songs are) but the ending chimed with the support base back then, and still does now, it seems.
When we're dicking Real Madrid away in the Champions League in a few years, we might nab some of their songs ( or the scarf swinging over the head the Spaniards seem to go in for - always liked that).
Until then, the current one is quite OK.
-
I haven’t read the entire thread but in case nobody’s made the point before, Rogers & Hammerstein musical Carousel has naff all to do with Liverpool but YNWA seems to do ok for them.
-
I don't imagine it will get sung with much gusto when we've just been done 4-0 at home by Man City.
We'd get the thoughtful whistling tune which is what we get now after a non victory.
-
If it means I can get out of the ground quicker, the rest of you can continue to stand around and sing this horrible dirge
-
I've resigned myself to it now. Other people seem to enjoy it so maybe I should stop being a misery arse. I was first to the pub and managed to get a seat so no complaints.
-
Can I v clarify is this oasis song played post match every home tie?
-

That's just it. If people are enjoying it, irrespective of the roots of the song, let them enjoy it. So what if it's Oasis and they love Man City. I like Oasis and I like the song and I don't care on bit for Man City. This one has become a bit of a unifier in some respects as it almost speaks to eliminating the difficult memories, pain and hurt of the last number of years. I know I've felt it from afar, let alone those fans who have been to Villa Park or traveled with the club.
-
If you’re embarrassed by singing DLBIA because of its associations with Man City, don’t forget “their” iconic Poznan celebration. All teams borrow from each other, chants and songs are recycled. Mind you, I’m old enough to remember when fans started singing Guantanamera.

Me too - it was adopted by Villa fans after our UEFA Cup quarter final loss to Barcelona in 1978 then spread around the country.

Everyone used to sing that song when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s.

Not a fan of DLBIA but if we keep winning I don't mind hearing it more often. I still like theme from an unmade silent movie by Norman "hurricane" Smith. Reminds me of Villa glory years.

Theme From an Unmade Silent Movie is more pre-match than post match though.

Great song.
It will be our anthem next season when we are dreaming of a CL place.

Normally leave fairly quickly at full time but stayed on yesterday because of the occasion. That meant I bellowed along to it and very enjoyable I found it too.
-
I don't think Billie Holiday was much of a Man City fan myself, doesn't stop Blue Moon being anthem for them.
I think the song is decent anyway and it sounds good when we belt it out. I've never heard an Oasis track and thought that's Man City that.

Keep on running - Spencer Davis Group
No relevance to our club but a great song to sing to (when pissed) and a local band

This is the key point. It's just daft when people say lets have this <insert shite heavy metal song> by this <insert shite midlands heavy metal band> and think it will take off on the terraces. It won't. Neither will the Spencer Davis Group (which is one of the most awful suggestions I've heard).
DLBIA is the closest we've had to an anthem in quite a few years. It's no 'Bells are Ringing' but you can't just force these things on the fans.
-
Artificial imposition won't work. It'll be like that thing under McLeish where it was a nailed-on certainty that everyone would belt out The Bells Are Ringing, and what we heard was a dread silence and funeral bells as the players walked out.

I think it's appropriate whilst we are in the 'getting back on track' stage and I thought it was quite appropriate on Sunday since it was the clearest sign yet that we are getting back on track. Maybe something new if we get promoted.
It does help that I like Oasis mind, especially the first 2 albums.

Thread is being used by music snobs to bash the best British band over the last 45 years I feel.
;D
They aren't even close to being the best band from Manchester in that time.
World's gone mad. Jack Grealish is being talked about as world class after half a dozen good games in the Championship and Oasis are somehow the best British band of the last 43 years!
Well, he could well be, and they are.

Something relevant, you say? How about
"Oh Gabby's big plate
Is piled up with cake, burgers, chips and a pie.
They gave him a weigh,
He's like a sumo wrestler, I heard them say."

Can I just point out we have been trying to give him ‘away’ for years.

It's a sign there aren't too many problems at the club at present when this is the sort of stuff we are reduced to cribbing about.

Grealish could develop into a world class player, and even though I like him a lot I very much doubt he is gonna reach world class level. You're talking Iniesta, Zidane, Xavi level imo.
Oasis were a Stone Roses knock off, made catchy anthemic rock that was of it's time, there have been loads of better bands than Oasis over the past 45 years.

Ellis has gone, Lerner has gone, Mcleish has gone. We now need a chant and some of those sad 'banners' that are actually A4 sheets of paper that say 'The bloke who does the full time music out'!.
Personally I like 'Hi Ho Silver Lining' by Jeff Beck, but would happily replace it when we play Small Heath or Smethwick with Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'.
-
I like Hi Ho Silver Lining too. Only in the context of Villa, mind. More of a Pulp man in everyday life.
-
The fact that fans stay behind and sing it is good enough for me. I like it anyway, and absolutely hate Hi-Ho Silver Lining with a vengeance.

I've said on here plenty of times that I don't like hearing DLBIA because Oasis not just closely associated to Manchester but are well known to be big Man City fans .........BUT I really enjoyed singing it at the top of my voice on Sunday so who knows?

Do you think that Palace fans worry about who the Dave Clark 5 supported?
-
I don't think Billie Holiday was much of a Man City fan myself, doesn't stop Blue Moon being anthem for them.
I think the song is decent anyway and it sounds good when we belt it out. I've never heard an Oasis track and thought that's Man City that.
Also what has Tom Jones got to do with Stoke. Doesn't stop them singing Delilah, Plus we have a decent and meaningful reason for why we sing DLBIA.
-
We should have played 'keep right on' and 'Mr Blue Sky' at the final whistle on Sunday. I am a huge fan of sarcasm and irony.
-
Not a big fan of having this played, but I tell you on Sunday I was stood on my seat singing it a full voice and I loved it!!

What has a Northern boy band go to do with Aston Villa, who represents the working class people of North Birmingham in the footballl stakes. I take pride in the fact that we have supporters from south of the City which is traditionally blues. Also pleased we have non brummie from other parts of the midlands, fans hardly in difference in non Brummie Midlands.
Oasis have nothing to do with Aston Villa or North Birmingham working class identity, we look like mugs singing and playing that song, its like we dont have an identity and we are like sheep and have to latch on to something. We are being organised and engineered.
Aston, Witton, Perry Barr, Great Barr, Erdington, Falcon Lodge, Brookvale, Perry Common, Wyrely Birch, Bromford, Kingstanding, Pheasy etc thats whats about.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of the north B'ham fan base, but that isn't what it's about. It is about far, far more than that.
Not many clubs have 'local' anthems, just songs that took hold on their terraces for whatever reason at some point back in time.
DLBIA is just that, it reflected a mood and a moment in time and is still relevant to a lot of fans now. I like the fact that we have a song to get behind, because let's face it the bells are ringing etc have all faded away (Fade Away - now that could be a song for the Blue's?).
It's irrelevant that it's Oasis or that they are City fans. It's just a song that works right now. Did you watch the video posted? It seems quite a few other fans think so too.
-
The club can't do right from wrong.
They tried the fans orientated "Bells are Ringing" a few years back and it was a complete failure.
Now they've tried the DLBIA which was picked up in impromptu fashion by the fans away at Reading (who all joined in with the chorus) Yet people are still moaning.
I'm an Oasis fan so I'm slightly blinkered on this but I really don't care whether Oasis are from Birmingham or not. Loads of football chants stem from pop songs - nobody seems to care where those songs originate from. Everybody has their own opinion on what the song at the end of games should be - It is something that will always upset someone. I didn't see too many people not enjoying it on Sunday. I'm more than happy for it to stay and haven't seen one suggestion that is an improvement.

I don’t get hating Oasis just because they are linked with Man City. I get it if you don’t like them as a band or don’t like their songs. That’s personal taste. But disliking them backseat the lead singer is from a certain area or supports a certain club is like saying you hate the Beatles because they’re from Liverpool or the Stones because Jagger supports Arsenal. Who cares?
This song specifically has become something of a rallying cry for the fans and I’m just happy that after man years of seeing utter shit down Villa Park people are bonding again and have lots to smile and sing about.

A blue nose at work commented on this. He said we are pathetic singing along to DLBIA as they are mancs and we can't come up with anything original to compare to keep right on. Blissfully unaware or too stupid to know that is a Scottish folk song by Harry Lauder with no fucking connection to SHA other than a jock who once played for them sang it on a bus and it caught on with the fans. He's not blissfully unaware anymore but he is still stupid.

I didn't join it at Reading. Admittedly, I wasn't there. But I think actively not attending and remaining hundreds of miles away from where a song is being sung takes more commitment than just remaining quiet for a few minutes while it's played over a tannoy.

Thy only play it when we win and every time I'm walking away from the ground, past the HE, they always join in.
It's just a song that's played after a game and even then, only because we've won. It's not an anthem or a statement, it's just a song played over the PA system. I can't see what the fuss is about?

I have no idea if that's true but I do like the line, it's very lyrical. So much so that it works very nicely in a tune we all know...

Also - there is really no need to worry what a nose thinks of a song we have picked up on. We can all think of the established anthems of Liverpool, West Ham and the Blues and how they galvanise their support, but we'll still sing 'You'll never work again', 'Stick your bubbles up your a**e' & 'wipe that snot off the end of your nose' back at them.
Other sets of suporters taking the piss has never been a reason to drop a song as far as I can remember.

Aye. And on the whole Man Citeh thing, they have rarely been a direct rival for us in my liftetime. Either because we were so far ahead of them, or like now they are (sadly) so far ahead of us.
With a few exceptions, their fans always struck me as decent sorts and not dissimilar to Villa when it came to the gallows humour. Unlike Everton (bitter B-lose part 2), Newcastle (delusional) or Tottingham (just cxnts). So if anyone had to win the Billionaire lotto other than Villa, I'm glad it was them.

The Bells are ringing used to get sung a lot at away games - one game at Maine Road back in the day we sang it for about 10 minutes straight
I am Sure we were one of the first clubs to pick up on "Always look on the bright side of life - which Man City then picked up on
My memory might be playing tricks on me but didn't we used to sing " Mull of Kintyre ?"
Anyone remember the thousands of balloons released at a game at the Baseball Ground ? - I am sure we sang Mull of Kintyre at that game
The lads I used to travel to away games used to sing left field stuff in the boozers - eg The TCP advert - " if you've a troublesome sore throat, be sure to wear a hat and coat .......take TCP and gargle every day .....
And the Beer at Home means Davenports advert
None of this Oasis or Black Sabbath nonsense
SIGH .....Oh Times were much simpler then
Yes I know , they used to send kids up chimneys then :)
-
The TCP song was sung for a few years late 70s at games. I remember it changing to: "We're the ones that go away. Go away on Saturday" in the 80s until it really found it's niche as a tune with the words changed to: "There's a circus in the town.."
Don't think it's suitable for an after match celebratory song though.

We sang that up the Holte at the last game prior to playing the Blues away around 1978 I think (We’re going down the Blues). The one where Andy Gray scored the only goal.

I like DLBIA, it resonates with the sentiment of the last 5 years of supporting Villa.
The last few Lerner seasons were dire, we were breaking all kinds of shitness records, the owner wanted out, the management and players didn't really care and the club was broken. The likes of small Heath and the baggies were crowing, and we were on the receiving end of many piss takes.
The away fans have consistently turned up throughout the dark times, and were the only real positive. The away win at Reading ended a run of not winning an away game for 2 years, that combined with Dr Xia and some feeling of stability at the club to stop the rot, meant that the time was now for looking forward not backwards.
When I sang it in the Holte on Sunday, I think of where we were to where we are now, and also how those smug Albion and small heathens have been shut up, and I really enjoy it.
I think when we are back in the PL, it won't mean as much, but right now it's two fingers up to the haters, we are on the up. It's like a song of defiance like singing "we'll keep the Lions flag flying high, coz Aston Villa will never die".
Personally I don't care what anyone else thinks, it works for me.
-
haters gonna hate. Some people just want to complain about anything and will find any old reason to do so.
-
Surprised nobody has suggested an Eminem song...
Will the real Aston Villa please stand up?
-
Oasis are northern wankers. We need song from black sabbath.
But heavy metal is shit.
-
I didn't join it at Reading. Admittedly, I wasn't there. But I think actively not attending and remaining hundreds of miles away from where a song is being sung takes more commitment than just remaining quiet for a few minutes while it's played over a tannoy.
You say Tannoy when you mean "public address system". Tannoy is a brand name.
Alright, thanks Partridge.
He's just annoyed as its too cold for him to use his Jetski.
-
Seems reading this thread that some still seem under the impression the club just decided to play this randomly at the end of a game and foster it under us.
It was played over the tannoy at Reading in October 2016. Everyone was in a good mood with a last minute winner and first away win in over a year so many joined in. Word got back to the club and they played it three days later at the end of the Fulham win and many joined in.
I don't see the issue with it being wheeled out at the end of big wins, at least many know the words. Sadly when Bells are ringing was trialled a few seasons back plenty didn't.

Littlest Hobo tune.......Canadian kids TV show
Another Anthem sorted
There’s a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I’ll always be
Every stop I make, I’ll make a new friend
Can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again.
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow, I’ll just keep moving on.
The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams:
“Maybe, there's a world where we won't have to run, and
Maybe, there's a time we'll call our own,
Living free in harmony and majesty,
Take me home,
Take me home.”
The theme to Solo One would do for me.

No Darren am at a wedding in Bristol. Gutted. I was trying to make it work but I reckon I would have to leave shortly after kick off so have bequeathed my ticket to one of Chico's mates.
-
After every win just play this instead of DLBIA
-
I'm not a great fan of it, but I suspect it's here to stay now so I'll learn to like it.
If we we're going for a random Britpop song I'd have gone with Ocean Colour Scene - The Day We Caught The Train
-
In my opinion okay song but villa connection no! Need a villa song and plenty of them
-
We're a creative bunch. Rather than just singing random britpop songs why don't we sing songs which are unique to us?
Holte Enders in the sky is my favourite Villa song for that reason - just a shame we don't sing the full version and that we don't sing plenty of other unique songs. There are enough witty fans for us to do so.

I think that's one thing we can all agree on.
-
"The Day We Caught The Lift" would be more accurate. Blandest song ever written.
-
Why do Ocean Duller Scene (clever eh?) always get a mention in the countless threads about music at Villa Park? I know they are a Birmingham band and all that but they are also an abomination with no strong (if any) Villa connection, the above mentioned song is also, as has been pointed out, an horrendous dirge.
-
Playing devil's advocate, The Day We Caught The Train wouldn't work. Its singalong bit is too short to belt out with any conviction.

-
Can we not cheer on the final whistle and leave the ground happy? Do we need a song?
If we really do need a song, and despite me thinking the song of choice is bizarre, people know it, like it and sing along to it, which I presume is the point (something I’ve just realised this post probably doesn’t have...)
-
We've tried Black Sabbath/Ozzy as our walkout music a few times last few years.
I don't mind it but again it never seems to stick as we keep changing it after about five games back to Escape or something else.
-
heavy metal is shit.

heavy metal is shit.
And it smells.

Sounds great at Wembley as the players are carrying a trophy. Loads of clubs have the same songs, Chelsea and Wolves play Liquidator for example.
You'll never walk alone while intrinsically linked to Liverpool is or has been sung by Celtic, Dortmund and Feyenoord to name a few.
Everyone used to sing that song when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s.
Correct. Including Jam fans while waiting for encores at Bingley Hall.

Should be this after today.

The bellend that warbles out the words is a nose as well. He was on Talksport a few years back when they won the league cup, although he clearly knew shit all about them or football in general, and was just using the slot to get some publicity.

Steve Cradock is a Villa fan. He was called by someone on Talksport some years ago prior to an FA Cup game at Arsenal. His comments were juvenile and embarrasing, something of the ilk: "we'll smash the southern shandy drinkers". We lost 3-2.
-
We're a creative bunch.
We're not though are we? Holte Enders in the Sky, Walking in a Villa Wonderland, Villa Villa Villa, the modern day football fan is only capable of singing very basic dirge...see Liverpool...Liverrrpooooooool, Liverpoooooooool. I mean, really? We occasionally see fans singing a creative tune via a twitter video in the concourse or something...but very rarely from the stands.
-

That's precisely my point. How do we get some of those songs sung in the stands rather than the same old shite or a random Oasis song just because it was played over the tannoy at Reading two years ago.
-

Probably. I would imagine heavy metal is something you either love or hate.
I absolutely adore it, though realise I'm in a minority. If we ran out to metal, I'd be tempted to mosh. Though with all the blues fans in the Holte End, I doubt there'd be any room to start a mosh pit
-
We'll, I assume the Gallagher dirge wasn't heard yesterday...
-
Are the heavy metal is shit comments serious?
Yeah. In a crowd of 30k how many do you think are going to be into Magadeath? A pretty low percentage I suspect.
But it always seems to me that metal fans punch above their weight when it comes to internet forums and certainly on debates about football music.
-
I wouldn't imagine too many would be into Megadeth, but anyone with vaguely decent taste in music likes a few Black Sabbath numbers.

Heavy Metal, is, shit.

Said it before but I'm surprised Ghostriders in the Sky has never been used as walk out piece before.
Maybe it would be too manufactured but it would get the Holte signing before kick off.

It's pretty much always played every game.

Amusing thing about this debate is people would be surprised by some of the bands that are listed or defined under the Heavy Metal genre that Sabbath pretty much started.

It's never been played as the specific walk on music though. You do get a bit of it just before the team is announced for some reason.
-
I love my music and am open minded, prepared to give anything a try but heavy metal does absolutely nothing for me. Also, Ozzy Osbourne's singing voice is fucking horrible.

I agree but the chances are becoming slimmer all the time. People seem to want a manufactured atmosphere these days.
And as for song choices, they need to be something quite popular so that there is more chance of more people knowing the tune and joining in, hence DLBIA. All this choose a Birmingham band stuff is nonsense, as it doesn't matter one jot.

It’s not a massive deal but at the end of the Small Heath game I’d have rather heard the fans cheering the team and taking the piss out of the Noses rather than hearing an Oasis song blasted out loud. I think we lose a lot of atmosphere when it’s drowned out by mind numbing loud music. It’s so fake.
-
When did this thread change from post match tune to walkout tune?
I've still got a vinyl version of Ricki Disoni's Hey Aston Villa at home, which I will be happy to record onto a cassette for the club to play as the players walk out. I don't care what they play at the end of games, I'm usually rushing to get out

Maybe next time we have a rainbow laces anti homophobia day we can give Tom Robinson's Glad To Be Gay a play and see if that goes down well enough (no pun intended) to be a keeper.

I don't think 10,000 people singing along to a song they enjoy and that appears to mean something to them is fake. If nobody responded, they wouldn't play it any more.
This doesn't look fake to me:

How many do I think would be into Megadeth? Not many. But does that make the entire genre 'shit'? No.
There are lots more Metal bands than Megadeth. And there are many different types of Metal than the type of stuff Megadeath make.
Most people are not into music as a hobby anyway let alone Metal so the chances are they will have a very ignorant and uninformed perception of what the genre is like (probably the most extreme sounding vocals and music you can think of) because they haven't heard much. Saying it's 'shit' would be ridiculous.

There were quite a few bands listed in that clicky link that I would definately class as rock or in some cases even soft rock as opposed to heavy metal.
Can we try to come to some majority opinion on this minor debate as soon as possible so we can get back the the main reason we all come on here and finally define what is and what isn't an actual biscuit.

If nothing else but to wrestle back control of the subject matter I have always thought the Crossroads theme as done by Paul McCartney and Wings would make a good intro or outro on par perhaps with the theme from Z Cars as used by Everton. Noele Gordon was a Villa fan as well (As is Mrs Doyle of Father Ted fame but you probably knew that already)
Just realised that most of the terms of reference I’ve used will be completely unknown to many readers. Getting old is really quite an unpleasant experience.

Our win in the recent local derby game was so crying out for a loud rendition of SOTC, but no, we got Oasis. Again.
If Villa are going to continue with post-match music then it should be a local group. Duran Duran's "Pressure Off" would possibly be my choice, but I'm sure others will have their own ideas.

I don't see it as a contradiction myself. I stated *if*, rather than *they should*. On that occasion, I felt there should have been no music.
The whole notion of a Manchester group (or it could have been a Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, London, etc group) being played at the end of the Brum derby is just odd, in my opinion. Man City-supporting Oasis being played every time we win just seems odd to me.
-
Hopefully will be singing DLBIA again this Saturday! And not listening to the whistley thing like we did after Preston.

I enjoyed the DLBIA singalong after Blues but even at the time I thought I would have rather just sang 'We're going up, They're going down' a lot. My objection on that occasion was more in the 'manufactured atmosphere' camp than the 'why are we still singing Oasis songs?' camp.
I didn't MIND them playing it as such, and it was fun to all belt it out, but I think they could have left us to have our own fun for a bit before maybe letting that play as we began to drift away.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest where a band is from, heard the Ramones belting out at a couple of grounds and I'm fairly certain they don't have any association with the clubs in question.

Steve Winwood's Albion ay he?
Maybe he turned to supporting Villa. We might be his 'Modern Love'.
You mean 'Higher Love' right?

Yeah sorry. I find it an enormously annoying song. But hey I'm just one voice and if the crowd got behind it then it would be ok with me.
I really don't see the clamour for it to be a local band for me that isn't a big deal, although I do get people being uncomfortable with Oasis' Man City connection.

I echo your thoughts about Oasis/Man City but must admit I forgot all about my objections when 40,000 of us sang our hearts out against Small Heath! Most clubs have an anthem which has nothing to do with their club, town or city. I wrote on here recently about a blue nose at work who tried to take the piss out of us for singing DLBIA. He reckons we have nothing original like their durge (kro) I pointed out to the fucking muppet that song is a Scottish folk song that has nothing at all to do with them or the city. I'd love someone to pick out a more neutral song for us to get behind but I think it's going to be DLBIA for the time being.

Don't get me wrong, I am pro DBLIA. I can understand those who are uncomfortable with the City connection, but for me the pros outweigh the cons.

If we are thinking local bands then Black Sabbath should be at the head of the queue.
I think three of the four original members were born in Aston, I believe Tony Iommi was born in Handsworth. Iommi, Geezer Butler and Ozzy are Villa fans, although I don’t know where Bill Ward’s allegiances lie.
So for me it’s Paranoid, a great intro by some of our own.
-
Definitely think Sabbath could/should be woven in, as you suggest *the* local/villa band, seminal & massive worldwide.
Also rather safely fashion proof/trans-generational with Ozzy's TV presence over the years presumably even young whippersnappers will be aware, although maybe even that's old now..
I don't think it's going to work as post match, but have we used them to come out to before?
The lyrics of Paranoid are rather related to the recent woe of being a Villa, but it's not like Iron Man works much better. Definitely into the idea of connecting to our Aston heritage.
Might sound far fetched, but could always make use of it as promoting mental health awareness tie in... would happily advise on that.
An intimidating coming out onto the pitch sound?
(The club are never going to get this right for a majority are they!)
-
Can't really see the 20-somethings getting behind Sabbath, Judas Priest or any other Dad Rock, even if it did originate from the Midlands.
And the old boys rarely sing in any circumstances (at VP anyway) so what would be the point.
If we're looking at wishlists after taking a stroll down Memory Lane I'd love to see the AV floodlights and the actual Trinity back. Aint gonna happen though.

Yes. And of course I think we irrefutably established a couple of pages back that heavy metal is shite.

I've read Iommi's autobiography and followed him and the band for some years, and never heard him mention football so presume he's just not into it. Same goes for Ozzy. Geezer however is a massive Villa fan.

Wasn't there a great post on here just before the 2010 League Cup final form a fella who had been Max Bygraves' PA / stuntman? He recounted working for him at the time of the 1971 or 1975 League Cup final and he told the great man he would love to go but that the work schedule wouldn't allow it, upon which Bygraves offered him the use of his Rolls Royce to get to and from Wembley and be back in time for the show.

Cheers Chico. Reading that again makes me wonder who Desi actually is since he says he was on stage with Max Bygraves.

A bit of a search and it appears he was probably Des Farmer:
1975: SWINGALONGAMAX (Victoria Palace)
Max Bygraves, Bobby Crush, Denise Keene & Happy, Rogers & Starr, Judy Allen, Peter Durkin, Lee Gibson, Adele Neatrour, David Brenchley, Des Farmer, Carol & Ann, John Melainey, Roger Sutton; devised and directed by Lionel Blair [16pp, 5.5x8.8; biography of Max Bygraves, full details and credits for each items, 10 photographs of the cast etc.; VG] £4
There's also a program on Ebay where his name appears once for one of the songs.

I am sure I have posted this before on another thread and probably an earlier version of the forum, but I worked in a car component factory in the late 70's and there was a young stacker-truck driver who would sing out while delivering his bins:

I pissed on the flowers

For hours hours
Magic moments ...

Reggae or reggae/dub would be perfect - though I would pick different songs for a win and for a defeat.
Obviously something upbeat and 'singalong' for a win. Maybe UB40's version of 'Baby Come Back' for when we go up, words changed to 'Villa We're Back' ... maybe. I'll let others wordsmith.
I also think something in the build-up about Brum, the place and the people before a final walk-on song could be suitably stirring - maybe commission Benjamin Zephaniah to write something.

Lol I'm a metal fan but its not really sing along stuff. Ozzy is already back - don't they play Crazy Train before every match? Someone up the thread said its not necessarily about the sing ability but the rhythm, impact and drama that can be as important. Enter Sandman by Metallica is not really a sing along song but plenty of US sporting teams come out to it to great dramatic effect.
The last time I can remember any song at Villa making any kind of lasting impression on me was when Dean Saunders was playing and they used to come out to Geno by Dexy's.

There’ll never be agreement on this, such is the nature of music.
Hurricane Smith for me.
But every occasion is different.
The Oasis thing clearly had resonance for a particular reason with the Reading match. We can discuss this forever and a day and there’s unlikely to be agreement.

I don't like it. I'd rather fans were given the opportunity to sing whatever comes into their heads, spontaneously, rather than having this inflicted on us and making it impossible for any other chant to start, naturally, of its own accord.

John Terry Tinder song is crap and insulting, we think of a good song for Alan Hutton (500 miles) and then choose to sing one line of it over and over (im not sure if most people even know its 500 miles anymore)

I get the impression the Villa yoof who tend to do the most singing aren't the brightest bunch, hence why they end of singing the one line of the Hutton song, empty seats/shit support at the away fans in a 3/4s full Villa Park and why we don't sing the full version of Holte Enders in the Sky.
Maybe we should start putting the lyrics on the screen for everyone to sing a long to? It'd be like stadium karaoke!!! ;)

A wank back sounds dangerous.

Fuckin' ell I thought heavy metal was pretty much the worst idea ever until someone came up with the suggestion of reggae.

To be honest, I'd take anything with a bass line. Most of the time it's like listening to primary school sprogs chirping along to their mobiles. Or no music at all; if I wanted to see some mindless hoofs into the crowd followed by a closing anthem I'd get Rod Stewart tickets.

Agree with we don't need a song churned out at the end of the game, leave it to spontaneity.

I don't like it. I'd rather fans were given the opportunity to sing whatever comes into their heads, spontaneously, rather than having this inflicted on us and making it impossible for any other chant to start, naturally, of its own accord.
To be fair, our songs are generally shit and completely unoriginal. Whats that, a new player you say? How can we cram his name into 7 Nation Army....
John Terry Tinder song is crap and insulting, we think of a good song for Alan Hutton (500 miles) and then choose to sing one line of it over and over (im not sure if most people even know its 500 miles anymore)
I like DWBIA and honestly dont care that it has no connection with Villa or the Midlands

Ah but, unless they've done it up since I was last there, the PA at Villa Park sounds like something a station platform announcer would reject for being too painful on the ears. Bass frequencies have no chance. Which I suppose rules out reggae.

So what we really need is a...
