When we signed him didn't someone post a song for him to 'Rock the casbah'? It seemed to fit pretty well.

[Desi]

To the tune of Chim Chim Cher-ee

El Ahmadi El Ahmadi El Ahmadiee score one for Villa and score one for me

Or even:

El Ahmadi, El Ahmadi, El Ahmadi score -
one for the Villa and then score one more.

Benteke:

To the tune of Volare / (Mancini)

Benteke, Oh oh
Benteke, Oh oh oh oh
He's bigger than you and me,
He's gonna score 2 or 3.

Hopefully, the last line can 1 day be replaced with:

He got us to / He scored at / He's gonna score at/  Wem-ber-ley

[Mortimer's Bear]

One El Ahmadi, there's only one El Ahmadi....

And we love you here at AVFC,

And we know your gonna lead us, to many victories ......

Saw this story - I know its not what this thread was about but can't a more appropriate one:

The Morocco international became Lambert's first signing as Villa boss when he completed a move from Feyenoord in June.

The 27-year-old midfielder was made aware of the interest in his services long before a deal was done, with a Premier League switch on the cards for some time.

It appeared as though Norwich would be his most likely destination, with Lambert making it clear that he was a player he wanted to acquire early in the transfer window.

The Scot was soon packing his bags for Villa, though, and El Ahmadi admits to being more excited about making a fresh start in the Midlands than he was about the prospect of taking on a new challenge at Carrow Road.

"It was nice to be the first signing," he told The Observer.

"It says that the trainer believes in me and that's always good when you come to a club.

"The coach wanted me to go to Norwich, so I knew he liked the way I played. So when he went to Aston Villa, I knew that they wanted me.

"For me it was a big club. I wasn't so excited in the beginning with Norwich but Aston Villa is different, I think."

 I am quite appalled at the state of songs on display.  Is it time we founded the Aston Academy of Song?  We are warriors of wit gentlemen - this region produced the greatest poet the world has ever seen.  What would gentle Will, perhaps once of Aston, think to these pitiful plays.


Jowly - Jowly - where the f*** are ya?

Noble Shakespeare would disdain us.  I fear we are in need of some poetic direction.

Would our Nige set aside that Mozart Concerto, and lay down his violin to give us a few tips?  Perhaps not.  And so it falls to me....

Otherwise the only choices are Big Ron and Ian Taylor, and I can't think of a decent rhyme for 'Bostin'.

So let us begin.

Words, Gentlemen,  have syllables.
They have a rhythm to them.  A beat.
So Benteke becomes - Ben Tae Kay - or for the purposes of this unsought tutorial - 1 2 3.

So if the tune goes - da da dum - the word needs to go da da dum - or indeed, dum dum dee.

It matters not - whether da da dum or dum dum dee because both examples are - 1 2 3.

Fitting in names is good and fine
But names must march along in time.
An extra word, that extra beat,
Is what gets people off their seat.

Any mook can grasp a rhyme,
But solid chants require the time.
To rise and fall, and gentle sit,
For terrace songs the words must fit.

So please observe this sage advice
And count the beat...
Till the song.
Sounds.
Nice.

Gripers, flamers, and malcontents are welcome any time - but if abuse you fain must give - then abuse with rhythm and rhyme
