Why exactly do we need a celebration song or leaving the ground the song?

I would much rather hear the ground sing Villa Villa after a resounding win regather than have everything orchestrated.

It is fucking awful to sing a song which is blatantly Mancunian.
Sweet Caroline would be an improvement.
Can we bring TBAR back…………………

Don't you mean TFAUSM, or am I missing something blatantly obvious again?
Two different song being talked about here.

It's funny, for all the moaning here and on social media, the vast majority of fans sing it after the games.

Manc song, so what, who cares? What's Jeff Beck got to do with Aston Villa? Born in Surrey. Not to mention the fact that HHSL fucking awful. But everyone claps along and sings it.

I like the fact it started organically, it wasn't forced on us.

Yes, we need to update the playlist without a doubt, but if we're blasting out DLBIA against Bournemouth, I'll be very happy.

Johnny Cash was defo a Villa fan though (anyone as cool as him must be)

saw him on the left side of the Holte one time in 77 singing knees up mother brown
Also had a 'Ring of Fire' after visiting the Khanum, a stone's throw from Villa Park back in the day of the Birmingham Balti guide😁😁😁

This has to be it

I still can't get over the captain of a team that's just won at Wembley, and a load of the players, with their medals round their necks, singing in  front of a crowd that look like they've just rolled out of the Aston Social.

No 'kin way.

Sweet Caroline is a brilliant song in its own right.  The way the horn part builds up to the chorus is perfect.  It's one of my favourite songs anyway, but then its association with our march to winning the playoffs, and then hearing it twice at my daughter's school leavers' ball has cemented it in my psyche.  It's a million times better than DLBIA in every single way.  I hope to hear it and sing it a million times at Villa this season.

Do other H and V's out there think its time for something else?

YES!

Most definitely YES

Mind you, I’ve hated the song since it was released, just like everyone else produced by Oashit.

New win song should be Sweet Caroline

Yes, agree with this

Agree too.

Also, can we PLEASE bin Allez Allez Allez?

Everyone else sings it, but we seem to do it every 45 seconds.

Quite right Paulie. That Allez dirge is a pox on football
