mjmooney Posted January 26, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2011 I assume it's not just me that can't see a poll?There's a list of songs in the OP with hotlinks to an external poll site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 someone please set up a standard VT poll at the top of the thread where people won't vote for the wrong song? (i would but i have no idea how, soz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 26, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2011 Stand By Me is not a bad shout - it fulfils most of the criteria I mentioned upthread. I think it falls down on some of its timing though - the rhythm is not easy, and there are gaps that require counting beats for it to work. Too much "silence". (Where "x" represents a one-beat pause:) When the night x x has come x x x x x And the land is dark x x And the moon x x is the only x x light we'll see x x x x x x Hard for a crowd to sing, in fact. Definitely the right sort of song, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's not hard for a crowd to sing at all. Is 'Holte enders in the sky' sung exactly the same as 'Ghostriders in the sky' in the original song? No. Or should that be Nooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloneyt Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 its weird how the General said he would be behind the anthem but i have now asked him twice about promoting the poll both of have which have been ignored. im going to set up a separate one on a new thread because of un-intentional voting. EDIT: cant set up new 1, don't know how to make a poll. Mods can you add one to this please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloneyt Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 well as the general has ignored my questions about the anthem twice looks like this isn't to work, as much as i would like it to. check this out: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrummieVillan Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The bells are ringing. It has history and is a decent tune, though I wouldn't mind stand by me. I've wanted us to have an anthem for aaaaages, it's what we need in my opinion. It would certainly help the atmosphere to get better. Though there's always a danger that we'll only sing one song like SHA or wet spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Nah no danger of that, we actually have loads of other songs already, they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloneyt Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I was really trying to drive this project forward since the general said he would support it (find it in the generals thread somewhere) but then I asked him 2 questions about promoting the poll both of which were completly ignored. and without his support this is pretty far fetched. as much as I would love this to happen, its not going to anymore until we get the backing from someone up the ranks. oh and some people need not knock those down who wish and are attempting to make a better atmosphere at VP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Well the club played ghostriders at the end of the citeeh match so they must be trying something, but I still prefer 'the bells'............ESMERALDA.....THE BELLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't expect the General to do all the work for you. Asking the General if, say, you could hand flyers out before the game promoting your anthem would be a better way of approaching things.

Ian_Taylor Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Did anyone noticed they played this in full about ten minutes before kick off? To be honest, I thought it sounded pretty weak, would be very complex for all the fans to learn every bit (and be tempted not to sing the anti-Blues bit) and it was just too slow.

AstonMartin82 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Any chance of adding links to all the options to the opening post? I haven't got a clue what any of them are and don't want to randomly vote which I am sure a number of other posters have done already and skewed the results.

billy_loes Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Could one of the posters who keep banging on about the **** 'bells are ringing' tell me why its never sung at Villa Park and hasnt been for at least 7 years? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
