I don’t like hi ho Aston Villa, it’s all a bit Wolves for me, but many happy clappers seem to love it.
Never liked the Bells are Ringing because it’s a Cockney tune but some history with Aston Church there.

The Bells should always be the one.
In a perfect world, everyone would sing witty, note-perfect adaptations of all my favourite songs.Given that's not going to happen, I'll settle for the people who have paid loads of money and taken loads of time to support Villa to sing whatever they want to, as well as they're able to.
Awful generic song that now needs to end .
When I first started going a popular song was "My eyes have seen the glory of the Villa win the Cup...7 times we've won it, no one else can catch us up".I may have heard it when I went to my first away game at Preston in 1967 and we won 1-0, but in the next round I saw us knocked out at Anfield. We got relegated but the next season convincingly beat Millwall at home in R3, only to then go out in the next round at home to bottom of the table Rotherham. 1969, a brave R5 defeat at Spurs. Two seasons in the 3rd division saw Round One defeats at Torquay and Southend.Even though we were rubbish, I could gaze at the Argus Annual or Rothmans Yearbook...List of FA Cup winners - Aston Villa (7), Blackburn Rovers (6), Newcastle (6), Tottenham (5)...
I wish they would use the word 'also' instead of 'even' with regards to 1982.
