A song to get the hairs stand on the back of the neck is needed. We need a Never Walk alone style song to sing like a slightly reworded version of Danny boy.

Oh Villa boys, the fans, the fans are calling

From glen to glen, and down to Villa Park

The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you that lifts me out the dark.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Villa boys, oh Villa boys, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And I am proud, as proud I well may be

You'll come and find the place where I’ll be singing

And stand and sing "AV" for me.

And I shall hear, the fans who sing above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me

I'll simply stand in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply stand in peace until you come to me.

Spizz lyrics:

YOU MADE THE SUN SHINE BRIGHTER

YOU MADE THE BLUES GO AWAY

WE'VE GOTTA BELIEVE

WE'RE GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE

WOH-OH ASTON VILLA

GRA-VER-LEY HILL RIVIERA

HOLTE ENDERS LIVE FOREVER

THE SUN NEVER SETS ON ASTON VILLA

IN EVERY TOWN TONIGHT

THERE IS A WONDERFUL SIGHT

A BELIEVER LIKE ME AND YOU

WEARING THE CLARET AND BLUE

WO-OH ASTON VILLA

GRA-VER-LEY HILL RIVIERA

HOLTE ENDERS LIVE FOREVER

THE SUN NEVER SETS ON ASTON VILLA

I REMEMBER A EURO NIGHT

WE FELL ON OUR KNEES AND CRIED

THE GREATEST CLUB CUP IN SIGHT

FOR US THE NIGHT THAT NEVER DIES

WO-OH ASTON VILLA

GRA-VER-LEY HILL RIVIERA

HOLTE ENDERS LIVE FOREVER

THE SUN NEVER SETS ON ASTON VILLA

WO-OH ASTON VILLA

GRA-VER-LEY HILL RIVIERA

HOLTE ENDERS LIVE FOREVER

THE SUN NEVER SETS

THE SUN NEVER SETS

THE SUN NEVER SETS

ON ASTON VILLA

Perfect for an anthem.

"Spizz - the sun never sets on aston villa". the music is dire

agree - too contrived for my liking

I'd prefer something low key like Hurricane Smith with the Villa faithful creating the real noise when the players come out. Shouldn't really need music at all to create atmosphere at a football match.

Changed my mind - think it should be something from Sabbath on reflection. It'd be great to see the team running out to a crowd moshing to Paranoid. Ok maybe it's 30 years too late for that kind of reception. But anyway, of the five suggestions made then Sabbath are the only ones that carry any kudos. The Spizz one is cringeworthy and would have the opposition fans taking the piss out of us for years. Coming out to Sabbath would, on the other hand, draw respect rather than ridicule.

Does anyone know which Sabbath members are Villa fans because I am told that Ozzy is a Blues fan - Not that I would want to sway anyones opinion - I do think re-recording the song is a viable idea and it could be available via the club shop. I've also remembered that I wanted to give the media an alternative to rent-a-moron Villa muso Nigel Kennedy.

There are very few good songs in the world of football and the Spizz song is a case in point. I voted for the ride of the Valkyries, but I would prefer to have our team to walk out to the approving roar of the fans and sod the music all together.

Ozzy's no bluenose. Doesn't really come across as a big football fan but would call himself a Villa fan above any other team I reckon. He was born in Aston after all. Geezer Butler is the big Villa fan and I think Bill Ward is the other one.

i vote the sun never sets on aston villa...

its unique towards the villa and could become our anthem....

(its certainly better than that 'blowing bubbles' shit they have at the shammers...)

a full ground on a champions league night all singing this would baffle the shit out of the opposition and give a great atmosphere...
