Did I miss some thing, what happened to "Hi Ho Silver Linning" or am I showing my age ?

[Legion]

I think Wol-ver-hamp-er-tun nicked it.

[Chipsticks]

Remember the cover we did, 'Hi Ho Aston Villa', that we used to come out to?

[steamer]

Exactly, in the 70,s there used to be a very expicit Villa version, that for the sake of political correctness I shall not repeat.

[Dave Clark Five]

That would be the 'everywhere we go there's aggro' would it?

[Gareth]

I dont know about the entrance music but I think its more about getting 3 or 4 songs going from 10 minutes before kick off, repeating them for 5 or 6 games so they become associated as part of the countdown to kick off - a mixture of traditional TFAUSM etc, songs people know the words to Radio GaGa / Simply the Best etc.

Its sad that the atmosphere is so dead and needs to be manufactured, long gone are the days of going through six or 7 players songs whilst the coin toss is sorted

I see your toe-caps shining
and the razor in your crombie lining

[steamer]

That is the one, we had sheepskins not Crombies !

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

I proposed 'The sun never sets on Aston Villa by the mighty Spizzenergi.

I suggest we all do. Excuse the capitals.....

So what was played?

[Clampy]

So what was played?

Paranoid and it did'nt seem to work somehow.

[Risso]

I reckon we should go for "Either Way" by The Twang.  The talking bits at the start are in a dead strong Brummie accent, it's got nice jangly guitars, is quite cheery, and the lead singer is a Villa fan.

[CJ]

So what was played?

Paranoid and it did'nt seem to work somehow.

Preceded by TFAUSM. I couldn't get 'Tony Butler...BRMB...Sport' out of my head!

[UK Redsox]

So what was played?

Paranoid and it did'nt seem to work somehow.

The volume was way to low and the sound quality was terrible. It sounded like they were using an old 7" single.

[Legion]

I suggest "Things can only get better" when we play Swansea.
