"Hi Ho Silver Lining" is a rock song, written by American songwriters Scott English and Larry Weiss and first released as a single in March 1967 by English band the Attack, then a few days later by Jeff Beck.[1] The Attack's version failed to chart, while Beck's recording reached the top 20 of the singles chart in his native Britain in both 1967 and 1972, becoming his biggest solo hit. Beck's single failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, however.
The song is popular with fans of numerous football clubs in the United Kingdom, including Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, where it is often chanted by spectators. During the chorus, the words 'silver lining' are usually replaced with the name of the football club in question.[2][3]
