Vintage Songs

That Oxford game was funny. The goalie was called Paul Kee.

I don't recall the stewards name.

[the-farmer]

I recall during the early 80's at the back of the Holte End opposition scarfs would be tied up to the roof beams and set alight and as they burnt the crowd would be singing "Burn burn burn the bastard, burn burn burn the bastard" to the tune of What shall we do with a drunken sailor.

Knees up mother brown was another favourite

The Left Side ....... The Right Side

I remember the burning of a Liverpool scarf I think about Jan 84, we went 1-0 up but lost 3-1
I think Rush got a hat trick & it was live on tv. Also remember this that night.

In the Liverpool slums, in the Liverpool slums,
They look in the dustbin for something to eat
They find a dead dog & they think it's a treat
In the Liverpool slums

[Witton Warrior]

The "Drunken Sailor" used to get an airing when we played Bristol City and Norman Hunter played for them.

"What shall we do with Norman Hunter Ear-ly in the morning - Burn, Burn, Burn, the Bastard"

Harsh but fun ;-)

[BegbieAV]

Might have been done before, but I loved singing this to the away fans.

It's a long way to Witton station,
It's a long way to go.

[dcdavecollett]

How about:

Bertie Mee to Bill Shankly
Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?
Shanks said, "No,
I don't think so,
but I've heard of the Villa's Chico!"

[cheltenhamlion]

Two very random songs sung to players by an away contingent that to a man was almost incapably pissed.

Peterborough in the League Cup. We won the first leg by six so it was something of a dead rubber.

Na, na
Na, na
Na, na
Wahey, Gareth Southgate

To some bollocks by Bananarama

And

Mark Bosnich,
Superstar,
In between the posts,
And underneath the bar

To Jesus Christ Superstar

Not great songs but hilarious after getting on the piss all the way there.

"On the first day of christmas my true love sent to me jimmy rimmer as a goalie"  started off on a gold liner coach to Ipswich away in 80/81.

[Pat McMahon]

"On the first day of christmas my true love sent to me jimmy rimmer as a goalie"  started off on a gold liner coach to Ipswich away in 80/81.

I remember us singing that up the Holte against Coventry one Boxing Day in the late 70s.

[Smirker]

Just thought of this little ditty.

Claret and blue
Claret and blue
Champions of Europe
In '82

To the tune of All The Young Dudes by Bowie.

Thoughts?

This is one I just thought up btw, we need a chants thread.

[Smirker]

I am working on another, to the tune of Iron Man by Black Sabbath.

Have you lost your mind?
Can you see or are you blind?
If it's three or four
Aston Villa's gonna score

We are the Holte End
He-ar the Holte End roar

[OzVilla]

"On the first day of christmas my true love sent to me jimmy rimmer as a goalie"  started off on a gold liner coach to Ipswich away in 80/81.

I remember us singing that up the Holte against Coventry one Boxing Day in the late 70s.

Boxing Day 1977, 1-1 I believe.  My first match.

[OzVilla]

Ken McNaught,
Ken McNaught,
The doziest fucker you bought,
For 10,000 grand you could have had a new stand,
But instead you bought Ken McNaught.

Sang to the Olbiyun fans after he left us to join them.  A little harsh considering............

[papa lazarou]

Where do you go to Stan Cullis
When you're alone with big Fred
Does he hit you with a big hatchet
Over your shiny bald head
And down your back, and up your crack

For a short time in the late 60s I remember this or something very similar.

[class-of-82]

Always loved the "when your smiling when your smiling the whole world smiles with you" from the 70s that should still be our song remember about 20,000 singing it at St. Andrews in our first game against em in the mid 70s pure magic

[Vancouver]

I thought of one which would have been great last weekend...to the tune of...I don't know it but the one from the Cardiff fans of 'don't sack Mackay'.

Fuck off Lerner, and Paul Faulkner
take that Lambert with you too
If we sack all 3, how happy we would be
coz we are villa through and through
