Wondered what they'd been playing recently.  I think it's really naff.  Bring back Hi Ho Aston Villa, a la Jeff Beck.  At least most people join in

The guy that wrote that wants shooting.

I'd go for 'Hi Ho Aston Villa' when it's been a good result & 'To Be a Villan' when its been a bit meh.
I think it has a kind of melancholy wistfulness that kind of mellows out the mood when we've been a bit crap, but it isn't upbeat enough for when its gone well.

I think it fits both. Although a little bit of an adrenaline killer, it gave me a feeling of extreme optimism and a big ol' smile listening to it after the Reading game as I shuffled out of the Holte.

Although I'll be the first to admit is does scream of "we're going down but keep your chin up".

It does!
I think it was a 'To be a Villan' occasion on Tuesday even tho we won because we were a bit shit. Hopefully some 'Hi Ho' weeks are coming soon.

its hardly a rousing battlecry is it

[steamer]

Hi, Ho, for me.

[Legion]

Isn't Hi-Ho a Dingles tune?

I'd like to see the return of Escape.

This and This.

[eamonn]

Oh to be a vill-i-in
Whether we're losin' or wi-i-nin

Worra' couplet. Love it.
The chanted chorus is rabble-rousing enough, non?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Does anyone know what the other song is that's played every game before the team comes out.....it has no words

Theme from an Unmade Silent Movie by 'Hurricane' Smith.

Awful, awful dirge.
A slowed down Pot Black theme.

Get them runing out to 'Break my stride' by Matthew Wilder.
