Brisbane Bears club song

It was/is the Zillmere song ("Good old Eagle boys forever!"). Also South Sydney.

And the Fairfield City Falcons RLFC...... "Glory Glory Fairfield City ..........etc"


Edit: It's amazing I can remember back that far !!

No, I haven't found the song, but a couple things I want to say-

I've definitely heard a couple people say that the original recording was lost, but I can't find any evidence of this

I've emailed the club with the address on their about page, let you know if I get anything back.

Has anyone tried contacting the AFL itself. Would they have a copy??
 
I find it difficult to believe no copy has survived, but I don't think it's a high priority for anyone at the Lions or the AFL.
The thing is, even if there's a copy lying around on an old dusty shelf at the Lions headquarters, we're never going to find it unless the club themselves want it
 
Just to rule it out, but it isn't this one that you are referring to?

This has sat on my shelf for years with other various knick-knacks. Can't remember if I ever played it.

Hope the photos work...
Thank you, but unfortunately not. This is the 'dare to beat the bear' version, used from 1987 to around 1994 or 1995. We are currently looking for the 'Brisbane Bears will live forever' version used for a very short time before the merge

The song can be heard at the end of a North Melbourne-Brisbane game


There was a set of CDs released in 1993 with each of the club songs. Richmond and Adelaide's songs are on YouTube, Richmond's sounds like it could potentially be the same singer. Even if Brisbane's song on the CD isn't the one we're looking for, it would definitely be a different version to 'Dare to Beat the Bear'
 
I started another thread on this topic but wanted to say that tracking down any TV and Radio broadcasts of Bears games from 1994 to 1996. I'm currently looking for the 1996 Semi Final against Carlton as the TV cameras captured a fairly good recording of the song when it was played after the game. A radio broadcast of this game would be great as well
