to the tune of que sara sara

When I was just a little boy
I asked my father what would he be
Is he like Wrighty, or Titi henry?
Here’s what he said to me

oh Vela Vela, our Mexican superstar
He’s better than Lou Saha
oh Vela Vela… (repeat)

[I Hate Hleb]

I really do like that one Smoothy. However, just a couple of little changes to the verse will make it even more Arsenal related.

To the tune of Que Sera Sera:

Since I was just a little boy
I've seen John Radford and Ray Ken-ne-dy,
Smithy, then Wrighty, the legend Henry
Who will the next one be?

Oh Vela, Vela,
Our Mexican superstar
He’s better than Lou-is Saha
Oh Vela, Vela

[MyOldMan]

Bit too wordy for the fans. Some of the younger fans want remember ray kennedy.The original is better suited with wrighty and titi Henry.But the mexican superstar is class.

[I Hate Hleb]

Yeah, you're probably right. Credit is due to the original writer for the great chorus though.

[Its Up 4 Grabs Now]

Good song. Works well & everyone knows the tune so could catch on.

Only thing I’d say is that although Saha was obviously used cos of the Lou Saha/superstar rhyme I’m not sure it really works all that well. Makes more sense when using the “he’s better than…â€

[I Hate Hleb]

Okay then. How about:

Oh Vela, Vela,
Our Mexican Superstar
He's better than Can-to-na
Oh Vela, Vela

That would certainly wind-up the mancs!!

By the way, you're right UFG. I think we're both over-analysing these chants just a little more than is healthy!!

Young Pyo Lee
ate my dog, ate my dog
Young Pyo Lee
ate my dog, ate my dog
he sliced it, diced it and put it
in a bun/roll
Young Pyo Lee ate my dog, ate my dog

a song i heard in amsterdam at the ajax and seville games which i havent heard before and certainly at games have not heard it is.

oh tony adams magic
he has a magic knob
and when he saw that blonde caprice
he stuck in her gob!!!!
he stuck it in her fanny
he stuck it in her bum
then he went down shite hart lane
and shagged glenn hoddle's mum!

It's an oldie, but it's a goldie!

[I Hate Hleb]

To the melody of 'That's Amore':

If he plays on the wing
yet he doesn't do a thing
that's Eboue (that's Eboue)

And instead of a cross
he just stands looking lost
that's Eboue (that's Eboue)

Can't play wing, that's the funny thing
yet the manager thinks he's like razor

Pardon me, can't you see
we fans think he's shitty
that Eboue!!

[Its Up 4 Grabs Now]

Pretty good IHH but surely not as good as my Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love" Eboue song:

Might as well face it you're a dick in a glove!
Might as well face it you're a dick in a glove!
Might as well face it...


Stolen of course from the dick in a glove thread, but pretty apt.

[I Hate Hleb]

A bit light on the lyrics, don't you think?
