Opinion #ReturnTheSong

[Byron_Clanger]

Legit thought the title said return the schlong.

Considering we've been borderline nutless since the Covid season, it's something I could get behind...or in front of....it doesn't sound good however I put it..

 

[Ishmael_]

I liked the chant thing we were doing that was player driven but then we got rid of that and incorporated into this terrible new song.

Great work back office, another banger.

 

[squashface]

Most footy songs suck tbh

 

[flamingEMBERS]

personally I'm all for a completely new song, one that we can sing with gusto. I don't think it needs fan/members input unless someone writes one and submits it to the club. If there was a fan vote, it would just be a disappointment.

 

[EagleJack42]

Please get a return the wings style petition going for this one. Wins (as rare as they are) just don't feel the same when this plays....

 

[dajesmac]

The 2018 rebooted one was my favourite - the club has imploded since the Birds of Tokyo fart-in-a-can and I'm attributing everything going wrong to that.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

You do all understand that if/when Eagles make a GF again and this is still our club song, Birds of Tokyo will be singing us out through the banner with a live rendition on the ground

Just thought id leave you with that image

 

[Mop]

Whoever created this petition can go in the bin.

With both the old and the new song.

They're both awful

 

[Mop]

Go through all the old marching songs, find one whose beat fits the lyrics and use that.

They’re all out of copyright so it’d be free.

Can’t be that hard.

Spoken like a true man of the contract

I sat through a 171 point loss three days ago, threatening us with a hypothetical involving us playing in a GF isnt going to work as well as you think.

We can all dream

In my dream Birds of Tokyo do a Eagles theme into a remix of Lanterns as we run around the ground

Thats the dream

I thought this was a great option:

Updated Club Song

Just bring back the old one. The new one is soy infested rubbish.

that's great

 

[Nedland]

that's great

Thank you. I envisioned it to be sung to the tune of ‘Funiculi, funicula’ and have a more operatic sound that the older songs have.

 

[Nedland]

Hey all. Sorry to bump this thread but I had an idea for a new song. I’ve written lyrics to the melody of ‘Feniculi Fenicula’. Let me know what you think. If it’s trash then I’ll put a pin in it. Cheers…

FOR WE ARE THE EAGLES
From Perth, the place of birth of an institution, our club is born (our club is born)
For we, stand on the shoulders of our champions, foundation formed (foundation formed)
To win, we travel all across the nation, on wings we fly (on wings we fly)
We play, to bring the flag back to our fortress, it’s rightful home (it’s rightful home)

West Coast, West Coast
Royal blue and gold
West Coast, West Coast
The premiership’s our goal
Nil to deny
We’ll show you why
We own the ground
We own the sky
For we are the mighty Eagles and we’re flying high

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Said it before, will say it again, we should buy a poor clubs song. Give GWS X million for their song.

Or just steal it!

 

[Trouto]

There are many changes needed within the club during its current crisis it’s going through and I strongly believe the current club song should be part of this change.
We most recently won a premiership in 2018, under our most former song, to then change it completely to an unrecognisable cringey song two years later?
I’m not solely blaming the song but it’s one hell of a coincidence our downfall began the very year we implemented this new song..
I have nothing against Birds of Tokyo but they are not the right sound for a sports anthem, which traditionally is supposed to pump the players, fans and faithful up, and to celebrate when we win. Ironically, we’ve been arguably the worst we’ve ever been since we adopted it. The current song also resonates with our current failure and worst records in history, which is not a good reminder and nothing but bad memories and losses.
Our current club song is nothing more than cringe and sounds like something out of Sesame Street. It’s low-key embarrassing to listen to and I cringe every time I hear it, which thankfully the blessing in disguise for winning so little the last few years is to not have to listen to that being played often.

For those who don’t understand the seriousness of this issue with our song - you need to listen to it with the link I’ve provided below. If you consider that a decent enough song for our club you need to take a hard look at yourself. It is by far the worst club song in the league and worst song we’ve had period.



We need to revert back to what we previously had, we need to return the song. Bring back some traditional values to this club, like when we returned the wings. Why kill off our club song and replace it with some cringey pop version by Birds of Tokyo?! Why?? it was always destined to be a recipe for disaster.

We’ve returned the wings, now let’s return the song!

This song is a sign of the times, where virtual signalling is the most important thing a corporation can do - and lets be honest, West Coast are a corporation.

 

[Brosephus]

Just make Eagle Rock the song.

 

[Jandamarra]

GWS have such a banger of a song

 

[flamingEMBERS]

A song to Feniculi Feniculi would be pretty dope. Can you imagine it. I would even keep the big band as our point of difference.

"West Coast, West Coast,
Royal Blue and Gold"

Would be amazing post game.

Can we get an AI to compose this?

 

[RookiePick]

We're the big birds
Kings of the big game
We're the Eagles
and we're Flying High

It's solid af. Ya can pound it out when you've had a skin full. Just not when the birdshits from tokyo have sucked all the gusto out of it.

 

[InTheWings]

Just throw the Birds of Tokyo paycheck at me

This cracked me up! Best thing all year!! Send it to SEN WA! This needs to be heard! LOL!

 

[WCErevival]

Surely there's a better WCE supporting Perth band out there that can do our song.

 

[BrotherDodge]

If we must have Ian Kenny involved for some reason, at least make Karnivool do the new song.

 

[Jandamarra]

With all the Putin Nesbit comparisons, the choice is obvious. Get it done!!

 

[BartBart]

Thank you. I envisioned it to be sung to the tune of ‘Funiculi, funicula’ and have a more operatic sound that the older songs have.

We just need to get in before someone from Tassie try and claim it 1st in a couple years!
