What about this for a song?

[dalians umbrella]

To the tune of: "Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye"

Aston Villa
Aston Villa
Hey Hey Hey
Aston Villa

That is my favorite chant of all time,heard it alot in the early 80s (following Bananaramas hit) and this season at West Ham.Ironically the first time I heard it was 1984 vs Liverpool in the FA cup....

That's why it popped in my head then - I must have heard it before.
I thought I'd just bloody invented it!

Sorry mate no,the best version was by a group called "Steam" but I believe was written by the Belmonts in the early 60s,it is a great pop song and perfect for a terrace chant,would love to hear it belted out more !

Is this a wind up? We've been singing that since god knows when

It's like something from Anchorman, great version though.

Edit-actually the lead singer looks like Vic Spanner (Kenneth Cope) from Carry on at your Convenience.

We've sung it at a few away games this season.

We should sing it more.

Honestly, it isn't and I've been going since 1987!

Sung in the early 70s.Always thought they were a black group with a female lead singer.What a shock I had.

Ha! Join the club. Finally I can share my shame. What makes it worse is I only found out a few years ago. I blame the line 'Give it to me one time'. I had a similar story with Stretch - Why did you do it?
