Brumerican Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Not really sure that Stand by Me is the right choice to be honest . I just can't picture the Holte End singing out ......

avillafan.com Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The thing is Celtic have quite a few anthems and a lot of them tend to be from like really old songs - country stuff - Maybe someone into country music could suggest something?

maqroll Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Stand by Me would be a really good choice. Has anyone adapted any words or anything? However I will support ANYTHING that is chosen...but for goodness sake let's make a decision & get everyone behind it with the club's support. Some of us have been banging on about how this is the ONE thing lacking at VP. If it's Bells are Ringing or Holtenders in the Sky then that's fine, let's just everyone & H & V etc make a choice & stick with it. I don't think you'd need to switch the words up for Stand By Me....the lyrics are pertinent to being a supporter, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Cash version of Ghost Riders won't work because the "yippee yi aaaay, yippee yi oooohhh" is the wrong way round to how we sing it. may the PA guy could mute it while we sing that bit? These are the CORRECT words to HEITS, as wrote in 1971 by Keith Bryenton, we still sit on the Holte together, As i walked out at Villa Park one dark and dusty day, I spied a poor blues fan a running far away I said to this poor city fan it looks like you might die He said i know `cause i`ve just seen seen Holte Enders in the sky Yippee eye aye, Yippee eye ohh, Holte Enders in the sky, now he ran down the terraces and then towards the gate little did he know death was to be his fate he had one more short hour to live and then he`d hear the cry that every city fan does fear , Holte Enders in the sky, Yippee eye aye, Yippee eye ohh, Holte Enders in the sky, Thier fists where just like granite and their pockets full of lead, and when they catch a city fan, you know he`ll end up dead `cause Villa fans rule birmingham and city fans know why, the`ve all heard and th`ve all seen Holte Enders in the sky, Yippee eye aye, Yippee eye ohh, Holte Enders in the sky, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaninoz Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The only words i would change for Stand by me are "Oh Darling, Darling" to " We're Villa, Villa", i think that would work pretty well. Having said that though i also like Bells are ringing. 2 other suggestions. 1. Should we get a poll set up and have a vote? 2. To get this going at games we could ask the club to either place songsheets on seats or put the lyrics on the screen so everyone can sing along, and to also play the original over the PA. The General has mentioned in his thread that the club are behind getting an anthem so i'm sure they'd help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The problem with song sheets and karaoke on the big screen is we'll just have the piss ripped out of us by everyone else. Can you imagine what we'd say if we turned up for an away game and they had a bit of pre-match karaoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
