Giants club song

[justlookingaround]

All day today I was saying "Du-du-du-du-du-duh - Du-du-du-du-du-duh"

 

[Mr Eagle]

MP3 version is the same as what's on the website (no repeat)

Dammit they've changed it! It used to be nearly 2 minutes long!

The Herald Sun/Tele website has the full version but it fades out through the instrumental bit.

Does anyone have an mp3 of the entire version?

I love the song. Should get Harry Angus to rewrite songs for all the other clubs too.

Nah, maybe just yours

That is not the entire version, just the edited version that's available everywhere else.

In a world that has become so artificial, so corporate, that even the great old traditions of footy are contrived and manufactured, something special has happened. A footy song has emerged from the fans of the GWS Giants. It has formed totally organically, not from some external source, or out of work muso, but from real fans!! Its a blissful return to the old days when all the great songs were coined, the Swans, richmond, collingwood... But best of all its actually good!!

Recent songs have been so awful. This song has something of the timeless quality inherent in the great songs. The great songs are not just 'marketing tools' they are something deeply intwined in the culture of the club. They are songs the fans become nostalgic about, well up with pride, and keep them coming back week in week out.

This song is he song of the loyal old lady who's stuck with her club all her life and sings it with tears streaking down the face at final siren of a long awaited grand final; its the song of a new father who proudly embraces his newborn baby and sings it softly in his ear.

So Giant fans, this is the song for us. It truly represents who we are and what we are about! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHXTpeh8Mes

I just had to pick myself off the floor. I know that's not the song - I wish it was though, it's absolutely hilarious.

the official song is great though - it sounds like Borats Khazakstan national anthem. love it

I don't mind it, not so sure if it necessarily hits the target market though

Great work!

This full version sounds even better. Is this what they played at the ground last night?

 

[Simple Jack]

Reminds me of this...

[Andre the Giant]

I cringed when i saw the film clip but after hearing the song on its own a few times it really grew on me. Now after hearing it 4 or 5 times I think its a beauty.

Beats the old Freo song by a mile!

 

[BigVic]

Beats the old Freo song by a mile!

So much better than Freo's!!

 

[flamingEMBERS]

So much better than Freo's!!

and the Eagles. Ours sucks its sounds like a bad Bon Jovi stadium concert. Bring back our old tune with reworked lyrics but the same chorus !!!!!!

 

[Mr Crow!]

I really like the song, it has grown on me.

The only suggestion / modification I would make is that this bit:

And we will never surrender
We'll fight until the end
We're greater than the rest

This verse needs to be repeated one more time at the end.

 

[Such is life Ben]

Just listened to your song (I am overseas so am a bit late with things at the moment, shouldnt be an excuse!) and I reckon its a cracker. Definitely one of the better songs - as an AFL fan I am pretty proud of it and you boys should be too. A touch of jealousy too, I wish we would get a new song.

All the best for the season, will be trying to watch as much as I can.

 

[Baldur]

I really like the song, it has grown on me.

Same, I was all ready to hate it, but the more I hear it the more it grows on me like some giant fungus. Big & Bold.

the team song at the end of the game, that is one part of AFL i cannot see sydneysiders getting into.

When I'm happy I sing, surely people that are happy their side won can sing It will happen, AFL guarantee

 

[RW]

Yep, I have to agree that the "we will never surrender" part will become your "yellow and black!", it's pretty good, I think there is too much polka in the background though, the drum beat needs to be softer. But overall it has the makings of a great club song in terms of words and melody, it's not that far off the Tigers song (which I think is the benchmark for all club songs).

"Yay, we won! Got any coke?"

 

[Mountain Giant]

"Yay, we won! Got any coke?"

"quick! Let's get out of here to beat the traffic"

QFT.

Jokes aside, I've been to a few Swans games (when they play the Lions) and there's plenty who'll hang around to sing the song when they (almost inevitably) beat them.
