I am embarrassed to say there are a good few of new songs that I am struggling to get he lyrics to.

The Leon Bailey one and there is a SUE one both I can hear but cannot figure out the lyrics

Any help would be appreciated

SUE one is "Here's to you Unai Emery. Villa loves you more than you will know"

Clearly based on the lyrics of Mrs Robinson but sung to a different tune for some reason!

I thought it was the same tune, but just sped up by a factor of a hundred lol

You’re right it is way too fast, like  a cassette being mangled. it is also slightly out of tune!

It's to the superior Lemonheads version.

I see all the Grandads are out in force today. Come on everyone, at least da yoots are being a bit more original with songs and lyrics than we have been in years.

Just a bit. The Aston over 60s all male voice choir bemoaning the tempo of Amazing Grace.

The Bailey song was excellent in an Edinburgh bar at about 10 past midnight while a singer was trying to wind everybody up.

Even that's 30 odd years old.

Lot of old men shaking their fists at clouds on here though. You love to see it!

I remember it well which I know it is absolutely not the tune being sung!

You have made me laugh a lot though! :D

I don't mind the Bailey song, at least it's got a bit of originality and is a step up from "there's only one...."

I'm still trying to fathom out what "knees up Mother Brown" is all about, the lyrics didn't make sense to me.

I had to google it. It goes:

Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Under the table you must go
Ee-aye, Ee-aye, Ee-aye-oh
If I catch you bending
I'll saw your legs right off
Knees up, knees up
don't get the breeze up
Knees up Mother Brown

God knows what's going on there.
Cock-er-neys are a peculiar lot.

Martinez, rolls the ball to Cashy
lobs it on to John McGinn and out to Leon Bailey,
Leon Bailey down the wing like a torpedo,
puts the ball in the aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir...
for super Ollie Watkins...

Change 'lobs' to 'slips'. We don't lob.

That tune (Juantanamera) was introduced to football by Vila fans who picked it up in bars in Barcelona for our UEFA cup game in 1978, so at least it’s our own song we flog to death.

At least Jeremy's going to announce continuation of the triple-lock later on  ;)
