'The Club' - Collingwood show on FOX Footy

[ButchEd8]

Anyone tape it?

Tape? What is tape? Sticky? Oh record!

 

[robertg22]

i dont think it was ever funny, but thats what you get from someone like Pete Helliar or anyone else connected with Rove. the only laughs they get are there own ones.

other than that the show was good, nice to see the Cafs knee surgery, and wish they had somone other than Michael Christionsen hosting.

I thought Michael Christian (premership hero, 1990) was the host?

 

[Brad Goodman]

The one positive of the Strauchanie appearance is that I have fallen in love with whoever that blonde chick in the white top in the club photo is.

 

[robertg22]

The Strauchnie thing was not funny 5 years ago and is not funny in 2012. Really hope common sense prevails and it is given the flick.

Who hasn't heard this version of the Collingwood Football Theme song yet?

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Me!

You should be held culpable for forcing me to listen to that SHIT !!!

I admit it's a bit rough, but the lyrics are good. I just need a video clip using a sphere view camera rig (see interactive video below), 3 black women in white feathers and 3 white women in black feathers singing backup.

Alright, you might not like this either, but I resang the verses here:

Who hasn't heard this version of the Collingwood Football Theme song yet?

That is the worst shit. Think the song-writers went on to write WC and Adelaide songs. Repugnant in the extreme.

Listen you fellas. I wrote this song. The one hundred and eleven year old ditty that you dance a jig to in your favourite knickerbockers while smoking a pipe waiting for the horse and carriage to arrive was stolen from a Boar War song in 1901. I have pioneered a new rock-rap subgenre in the making of my version, and my lyrics are outstanding:

Good old Collingwood forever
We know how to play the game
(Two three four!)

Well look around at the ground, boys, feel the adrenaline
pumping through your veins.
You're gonna feel it when the siren sounds and you've kicked you're opponent
And the crowd is screaming your names
And they'll be jumping when the scoreboard proves who the men in the league are
This is no bitches game
The other fellas will be lying on the grass, they'll be clutchin their ass
Wishing they'd never dared to play
The greatest team in the world!

Good old Collingwood forever
We know how to play the game (Two three four!)
Side by side we stick together
To uphold the Magpies name

You'll make us proud on the field cause you know who we are
Bearing the colours of our side
You know we're with you, got your back bring it home jack, make us all proud
Because we've all come along for the ride
We gonna be there kicking straight to your mate, dominating, we'll relate
soaring up through the sky
Upon the shoulders of that poor little bastard crumpled under your knees
Cause he forgot that we're the black and the white!
Forever!

Good old Collingwood forever
We know how to play the game (Two three four!)
Side by side we stick together
To uphold the Magpies name

Now feel your talons round the handles of that silvery cup
When you have won us all the right to brag
And we'll be screaming when the team is running proudly with that grail held high
Celebrating with our victory lap
Your mug will be on every 3D Television screen, all over the net
And on every single newspaper stand
You'll feel the glory of our brothers from the club since eighteen ninety two
Oh when the pies'll rise to bring home the flag!
Carn the pies!

Good old Collingwood forever
They know how to play the game (Two three four!)
Side by side they stick together
To uphold the Magpies name
See the barrackers a shouting
As all barrackers should
Oh the premierships a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood

Good old Collingwood forever
They know how to play the game (Two three four!)
Side by side they stick together
To uphold the Magpies name
See the barrackers a shouting
As all barrackers should
Oh the premierships a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood

Good old Collingwood forever
They know how to play the game (Two three four!)
Side by side they stick together
To uphold the Magpies name
See the barrackers a shouting
As all barrackers should
Oh the premierships a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood

A hungry vagabond armed with a mobile phone, I made a song that speaks of the glory of the club and brotherhood. I've made thousands of sales on iTunes over the last three years because this song rocks. Sure, it needs to be re-recorded professionally with proper musicians but I marched with the fans to the MCG to the 2010 Grand Final rematch and this song lifted spirits even higher. Its had over thirty thousand views on YouTube.

But for all the traditionalists whose grandfathers would even find the current theme song old fashioned, here's the type of music you seem to love and want to hang onto and force new generations to jig along with:



I highly recommend you consider what year this is and move with the times. Queen Victoria was still on the throne the year this song was recorded. Nobody heard it in Australia though - the wireless didn't transmit that far.

Boar War

'Boer War'.

I have pioneered a new rock-rap subgenre in the making of my version, and my lyrics are outstanding.

Here's Rock/Rap done properly.



Also, there's a reason Goodbye Dolly Grey is still being referred to 111 years since its release. I can't imagine the tens of sales you've had on iTunes and the bloated YouTube views will reflect the same endurance, Paul.

You go on about moving with the times, so who the bloody hell counts video views as a sign of popularity? That metric is about as old as the 1901 song.

But I like our song.
