Jonny Hurst is football's first Chant Laureate.: His winning effort was one for the terraces of Aston Villa even though he is a fan of crosstown rival Birmingham City. I guess the Blues fail to inspire?

(as an aside, whenever I think of Birmingham + songs I think of B-b-b-b-Birmingham)

*Shamelessly nicked from a Blues message board* Aston Villa - Copacabana His name is Angel And he's a gay boy An Alice Band keeps up his hair Juan Ker from Col-om-bi-air He came to Veeella To be a winner They blew it overnight Cause they're a load of shite Just hear the Villa roar When Juan Pablo hits the floor We've got him on a four-year deal But he still wants to be paid more At the Veeella, at Aston Veeella The shitest club west of Manila At the Veeella, at Aston Veeellaa We lack football and passion And any range of fashion At the Veeella, but BLUES have it all La-la, Aston Veeel-la-la Aston Veeel-la-la-la Veeel-la-la-la

From the posted article:

Mr Hurst, a self-employed solicitor, will as Chant Laureate earn twice the amount paid to the Poet Laureate. "It is just a dream job," he said. "It combines my love of music, sport and comedy. It's a dream package."
Someone should write a poem about that. Or make a movie. (In this day and age, someone probably will.)
