Stevo985 Posted December 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't think you can manufacture these things. They have to just happen. I thought the "Don't Look Back in Anger" thing might catch on. But the only way it would would be if fans sung it without having to have it pumped into the stadium over the tannoy. As far as I'm aware, that hasn't happened. But yeah, there have been a couple of attempts at manufacturing a Villa anthem and they've been basically horrendous.

DJ_Villain Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hated 'Dont look back in anger' as an anthem for our club... Mainly for the fact that it is performed by two massive Man City fans... Man City being the club that pretty much catalysed the dismantling of our squad by taking our best players year after year when they could afford any world class player in the world that they wanted...

NottingVilla Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I've found a melody we can plagiarize. We just need to get rid of the "Championes" lyric as it's cringe . So needs to go WE'RE THE VILLA, WE'RE THE ????? Some tweeks to the verse as well. I think sang at full belt would sound ok. What about: WE'RE THE VILLA , WE'RE THE ASTON VILLA (WE ARE THE PRIDE BRUM, WE ARE THE PRIDE OF BRUM)? I know people say needs to be organic etc but if we could in a quirky internet way adapt our own version of this silly song, that would be cool.

Joking apart, War Pigs would be better, with changed lyrics of course: Villans gathered in their masses, at Villa Park where all the class is. Our football minds plot domination, to be the best team in the nation. On the field the players are yearning, to be the best - our tide is turning. Another victory today, and we'll soon be on our way. Back to the top yeah.... no shit I had this idea too and wrote some lyrics my 1st line was Honestly and I swear on my left & right bollock, my tool and its contents Villans gathered in their masses........

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 A singing/ultras section in part of the Holte end would possibly be worth implementing at some stage. I know it it can be a little cringeworthy but in general Villa fans can come across as very negative/depressed (with some justification). A section of positivity could become infectious to the rest of VP and who knows maybe an anthem could develop. More Steel Pulse needs to be played in the ground too, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think of all the politricks that goes on in numerous governments today that song really still has appeal. In fact, it's a song that will probably be relevant for the rest of time! I think it makes for a great anthem for any sporting club. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I'm afraid we missed the boat regarding an anthem. As has been posted before its really hard to get a good anthem to stick. All the clubs with them have had them for decades so it's now part of their history. I'd love villa to have one because our song book is shit but I just can't see it happening. We must be the only big club without one? Personally I think it adds something to a club when you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes for a great anthem for any sporting club. One of the greatest songs ever recorded. Personally I think we would be better trying to get an old fashioned kind of anthem instead of trying to nick a song off a band to use as an anthem. I mean **** me even the blues have a great anthem.

Rugeley Villa Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Marching on together is actually an original song which was recorded back in 72 For their cup final appearance . Unlike other anthems which change the words to suit their club, this song was made solely for Leeds United.

NoelVilla Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The build-up to the game in Frankfurt I attended was very impressive. First they played a song about Eintracht that was recorded by the Hessen police choir. Everybody stood up and had a sing-along. When the teams walked in it was a rock song from a local band with also a tribute to Eintracht. Something with a local connection like the police thing and it might work.

Its one of the things that annoys me re scousers. Ive heard them in interviews saying how they took a simple musical song and added significance to it because of hillsborough. So they made it a song saying those who died walk with them. Fair enough you might think. But it was written in 1945 at the end of the 2nd world war. I think maybe it had that significance for quite a few families before scousers came along. Anti scouse rant over! And no you cant 'invent' an anthem... Tho i did like dlbia...
