Project Anthem

[dave.woodhall]

I want to shower you with sugar lumps,
and ride you over fences.
Polish your hooves every single day,
and bring you to the horse dentist.

[VillaAlways]

Anyone checked out the new version on the OS yet ?

Not quite what I was expecting...

Oh shit. How does that other one go again, "Villa, Villa, Aston Villa..."

[Percy McCarthy]

Is this the 'awful cover versions' thread? Good video though. Anyway, if it teaches people the words and slows the tempo, that's the main thing.

[Bad English]

1. The forklift driver: thank you but behave! It's shit.
2. AVFC Pravda "new" Bells are Ringing: UTTER WANK! DO NOT PLAY. NO. FAIL!

I would like to have Percy's enthusiasm and optimism, but no. This is what happens when people paid to market things get hold of it. Dire!

[Nelly]

I sort of expected The Undertaker to stroll out in the video listening to the first half of that.

I'm not sure what to think about this. There isn't enough of the 'proper' song played to guide people who don't know it already. The chap sings a weird harmonised version which I think would sound great over a big enough crowd singing the actual version. Hm. Maybe.

[Legion]

We'll see on Sunday.

[PeterWithesShin]

That is shit. The intro was promising but then it turned into some US MOR wank. Fuck me, I hope they don't play it on Sunday, we'll be a laughing stock. I can't think of anything less inspiring than that bilge to be honest. Anyone brave enough to tell the General that it's shit and should be accidentally mislaid and never looked for again?

I'm gutted that it's so fucking shit, and some knobber got paid to come up with that!

It should have stopped with the fantastically fun video on the steps of the Holte End. The club have clearly been kind enough to pour some time, energy and funds into promoting the Bells are Ringing, but whoever thought they could make a "professional" version just does not "get" football fans and what it's all about.

Delete all copies now and we will forget it ever happened.

[dave.woodhall]

Yet more proof there's nothing that comes from supporters and can't be totally ruined by the club.

[Bad English]

Fucking awful.
Who in their right mind would want that as an anthem?

Pitiful.

I realise you were talking about the forklift driver Mark, but I was hoping this comment was about what they have done to the Bells are Ringing in that fucking awful video.

[Legion]

Totally agree. Really disappointed.

[Bad English]

I think I have written "Utter wank" about three times on a related Facebook page (Yes, I know, I'm changing the world). It keeps getting deleted so let me repeat here : Holte End with the fans was absolutely wonderful. Loved it. Video montage on Pravda : ABSOLUTE WANK! Sorry. But no. Really!

[dave.woodhall]

I kept expecting Black Sabbath to come out at the start.
