The complete and utter chants thread

Recommended Posts

On this subject, I used to be a season ticket holder in the 80's/90's, and gladly returned last year after Ellis went.

But I can't help noticing how we don't sing a song for all of our players anymore, in fact I bet its not even half that have a chant.

Think how you would feel if your mate gets a song, or two, and you don't even get a mention. Then think what you do if another club comes along, it really could make a difference.

A few lads I really think we need to look after:

Ashley Young - I see a few threads on it, but none make it out there. We used to sing about Andy Townsend, and it might have been used even earlier about Andy Gray, and can be changed to Ashley -

Oh Andy, Oh Andy

You're the Greatest

The Holte End say

Oh Andy, Oh Andy

We'll be with you

All the Way

We have one for Martin Laursen, but we need to use it, and don't take the easy way out and change it for anyone else. D D D D Martin Laursen, D D D D Martin Laursen.

For Bouma we give it the Freddie, Freddie occasionally, but I quite like:

Boom Boom Boom

Let me hear you say Freddie

Freddie!

Boom Boom Boom

Let me hear you say Freddie

Freddie!

A few more signings would be nice, and we could keep this going...

gotta be worth a shout -

March along, sing our song,

come to the Villa with Me

see the Claret, and blue,

who have fought to victory

We’re the Villa and proud of our name

We’re the Villa and proudly proclaim

First to fight for the right,

And to build the Nation’s might,

And The Villa Goes Rolling Along

Proud of all we have done,

Fighting till the battle’s won,

And the Villa Goes Rolling Along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!

The Villa’s on their way.

Here the Holte End loud and strong

For where ever we go,

You will always know

That The Villa Goes Rolling Along.

Do they have anything to do with Villa? Or football? Or anything at all?

It's called terrace culture, and irrelevant songs were sung as regular as clockwork at every ground in the country, before Sky invented 'footie'..and grounds were made all seater.

Remember Football used to be about working class lads going down the match on a Saturday and enjoying themselves, hence some of the irrelevant songs.

I'd rather sing irrelevant songs than some of the efforts posted on this thread.

I wish people would get it in to their head that you can't re-create lyrics to a pop song and call it an anthem.

Totally agree. All good efforts, but waaaay too complicated to ever take off.

To the tune of " 10 green bottles "

There is a one poor barry, sitting on the bench

One poor barry, sitting on the bench,

And the poor litle barry, has lost his England place,

There is one poor barry, sitting on the bench...

This one tho, this one could work...

Just a rough idea, needs lots of work, but its very easy to sing and everyone could handle the chorus no problem!

The proclaimers - 500 miles - http://tinyurl.com/27qx43

When I wake up well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man whos A V F C

When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man whos singing out for you

If I get drunk well I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you

And if you need me yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's singing next to you

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles

To see the villa score

And they’re running yes you know Its gonna be

And when he’s startin, you’ll never score a goal

you’ll never score a goal, its super martin

When were at home yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man whos in the holte with you

And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna see

I'm gonna see the mighty villa winning too

But I would walk 500 miles

And I would walk 500 more

Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles

To see the villa score

Shaun Maloney! Shaun Maloney!

Can't believe that song hasn't caught on, it is PERFECT.
