The first thing I do when I get a new phone is change the default ringtone to "Theme From an Unmade Silent Movie".

whenever i hear it i cant help but think back and remember the old Trinity Road Stand and massive Holte End as was,
i was normally in one or the other when the teams came out in the 70/80s

lets face it its not a great tune but its our tune,
i would think most fans that can remember that far back love it

I love it. I'll always associate it with listening to Tony Butler on BRMB on European nights, but in particular when we played Kiev away - it was in the afternoon UK time , I was listening to it at school with the old earpiece up the arm of your blazer trick.

Villa were "under the cosh" as used to be said then, and Butler went through the whole "Get your prayer mats out, on your knees, Hail Saunders of the Villa!", then played Unmade Silent Movie (I just called it the "Villa tune" then).

Played it all the way through on my phone 3 times before leaving for Wembley. Definitely why we won !!

It definitely brings back memories for me but I think of it as of its time. It isn't a rousing song and it isn't a singalong tune either, so for me it's ok during the warm up well before kick off but definitely not when the teams come out.

I never noticed Black Sabbath on Monday - was that whilst the players were still celebrating pre-receiving the trophy?

On a general point, I would be much happier if they left us to just sing our own songs rather than having a playlist after the final whistle. A rousing rendition of Allez Allez Allez would have been wonderful with the euphoria of victory.

Never knew it was called that. My memories are like yours of Villa in the 70’s and listening to Tony Butler on the radio. Happy, carefree days

Yep I remember listening to that as a 17 yr old back from the pub. I got pie eyed on 3 pints in those days so not sure I managed to listen to it all

Yes, I was listening. My family thought I was mad.

There wasn't really a reason - Things weren't so choreographed in the 70s. 

[London Villan]

It’s just an odd, obscure, tune to pick, no lyrics, no obvious link, very random.

I guess that someone was in charge of the playlist at VP back then and (s)he chose to play that song at the same time every game.  Entrance music was unheard of back then as well.

Feels right though, doesn't it ?

I love it, it’s part of our history.

Which is why it's so wonderful.

Certainly does when Jack and the boys are singing, having a party with the fans on the day we are promoted
