Same olds

[kick it to tim]

Hi all

Does anyone know if there is audio or video of the original Essendon Same Old's song?

Or the tune that was used?



“The Same Old Essendon we used to be,

The same old Essendon we are you see

At the end of the season, that premiership flag,

The same Old Essendon will have it in the bag

For the Same Old Essendon are we.”

Further research has led me to discover that the name same Old's was first found in the newspaper around 1889 and the song was written by one Albert Fox of flemington and was based on an old poem they set some time Music to. Looks like it's time for me to scoure through a heap of old poems

I'd be very interested if you come across some audio of this.

I wonder if St Kilda had a them song when they were known as the 'Seagulls'?

Oh when the Seagulls go flying in...
