Nominated your Villa song for the 2012/13 season

[Dave Clark Five]

Just came across this site on-line

Should we change the plan and just get better recording of existing songs???

What we need is the proper Bells are Ringing being played at full volume over the speakers. Nobody wanted that new version. If you want these things to happen, you have to persist. Nothing would be better than 40000 Villa supporters belting this out before every home game.

Have you seen the Holte End on a Sat'dy afternoon
As they celebrate another Villa win?
Do you remember Andy Lochead scoring diving headers?
Or Willie Willie Anderson running down the wing?

So how can you follow U-ni-ited,
Or Liverpool when they're doing fine?
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of Aston,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.

[Dave Clark Five]

Oh little town of Aston
How still we see thee lie
Beneath thy deep and dreamless sleep we hear the Holte End cry

WE'RE THE VILLA, WE'RE THE VILLA
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

[Dave Clark Five]

Hello, hello, how do 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 a song of victory
When Villa win Division Three
The City fans will never mock
When they remember Bruce Rioch.

[Brend'Watkins]

Hello, hello, how do you do

We'll sing a song of victory
When Villa win Division Three
The City fans will never mock
When they remember Bruce Rioch.

My favourite this one.

"We'll sing a sonnngg of victoreeeee
When Villa winnnn Division Three"

Slightly before Div 3 days can anyone remember a Villa song to the tune of Bye Bye Blackbird? I only vaguely remember a line that went ' when somebody waits for me, what's his name?, Lew Chatterley, etc etc. could be I dreamt it, I am at that age when the mind starts to

I know what you mean. As soon as I read the words I knew the song but I can't remember the rest of it.
Then again, I could be the other bloke in your dream singing the same words over and over again.

[Woody]

Lambert's limes got me thinking of Jossy's Giants. I'm sure someone brighter than me could change the words to Lambert's Lions? You tube has it

No, you are right, unless I'm also in this bizarre dream. One of the first home matches I went to was v Blackburn (67/68, lost 1-2, I think) and it was changed to "Bye bye Blackburn". It survived into the Doc's era, "...what's his name?-"Docherty""

[Percy McCarthy]

So proud to wear the claret and blue,
We're Aston Villa's chosen few,
Inventors of the Football League,
The greatest club in history,
And if we stand together strong,
Who dares our fate deplore?
The burning flame of Villa's name,
Confronts the world once more.
So hold the claret banner high,
Beneath its folds we'll live or die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the lions' flag flying here.
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the lions' flag flying high,
Cos Aston Villa will never die.

LondonVilla,  What's your favourite so far and when on earth is the picture of the fit bird to sing it???

Yeah come on LondonVilla, you've had plenty of suggestions so far, but you haven't commented on anything you've seen.

One day as I walked up the steps of the Holte End,
As I walked to the Holte End one day,
I spied a poor Blues fan all cut up in ribbons,
All cut up in ribbons and shit on they say.
I said to that Blues fan 'what have they done to you
And why have they treated you in such a way?'
He said 'All I did sir was come up the Holte End
And say Aston Villa were old men at play'.
The Holte End dain't like it
They rose up to fight it,
They kicked him in the bollocks,
They kicked him in the head,
And now that poor Blues fan is pushing up daisies,
He's pushing up daisies he's so fucking dead.
Now let that be a lesson to all of you Blues fans
Who come up the Holte End to sing and to fray,
If you say a word against our Aston Villa,
Then they'll be the last words that you ever say.

I think that may have been the whole song.

When somebody waits for me, what's his name? Chatterley.

I have also been reminded of Zigger, Zagger, Zigger, Zagger, Chatterley.
This was preceded by alternate, repetitive, shouts of 'Ziiiiiiiggggggeeerrrr' and 'Zaaaaaaaaggggeeeerrrrr'. I think that would be a great old song to bring back with a new name to go with it. Great at a pissed up away match with a huge following. Ziggers coming from the left and Zaggers from the right.

When I was young my father said
Son I have something to say
He said, son, you are a Villa fan
And that's the way to stay.
Happy to be a Villa fan
Until your dying day.

There was an amended version where it went

...He said, son, you are a City fan

Ending up with

Bollocks, I am a Villa fan etc etc.
