Villa Song
« on: November 29, 2012, 02:29:18 PM »
Has anyone else noticed the song that keeps getting played before home games? It was also played after the final whistle against Reading. It's main chorus is a catchy as hell whistling tune and then some fan noises, and in general it's a charming and uplifting song. Does anyone know what it's called or where it's come from?

I really like it and thought it fitted the mood perfectly after the game on Tuesday night.

It's by a bloke called Gary Nock. Can't remember what it's called but it's an original tune he wrote but he changed the words for the Villa version. It was on the OS a few weeks ago, it might still be on there. I quite like it as well.

I think you can download the song it is made from which is "Make it Better" (The Mars bar advert) but I don't think the Villa version is available. I could be wrong.
The only bit I think has any potential to catch on is the da da da bit near the end which just seems to go so well with the European Cup/fans on the roof bit of the video. I do love the video.

After a bit of digging around I've found you can buy it off iTunes for 99p, I'll do that as opposed to illegally as I really like this and want to encourage the club to keep it.

It's on Spotify too.

It's not bad at all.

Personally find it cringeworthy.
