The theme song, and why I won't renew my membership.

I think it's worth noting that the song has always been incredibly s**t

Adelaide or West Coast?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Controversial call - But am I the only person who likes Fremantle's song?

Obviously the heave ho freo part sucks. But I love the following part which makes up for it imho

We're the rollers, we're the rockers,
We're the mighty Freo Dockers.
We're gonna role them and we'll rock em,
We're gonna send them to the bottom.
And if they get up, we'll do it again.
The Dockers stop at nothing, nothing!

Top 3 in the league simply based off that stanza (With Bulldogs and Giants for me)

Bottom 2 are by far West Coast and Carlton.

Not big on Port Adelaide's either.

I used to like Richmond's, but dad pointed out something of their song before Rd 2 this year. They play it with words, then without, then words again. It just drags on with a massive gap there of just music. It actually kinda sucks in that way. And I'm not sure "Yellow and Black" makes up for it.

What's the worst line in a club song? For me it's Richmond's 'Risking head and shin'. Makes me laugh whenever I hear it. Torturing the language to get a rhyme.

We'll never stop stop stop, 'till we're top top top

Did make me chuckle in Rd 3. The second they got on top in the 4th, they completely stopped.

Considering it’s the US Marines Hymn, it’s a shame we can’t get Whitney Houston to sing it.

This is the best piece of signing I’ve ever heard. Period.

Best singing period?

Scroll through some of the comments on the You Tube version. Guaranteed comedy gold.

Surely not worse than this....

With all the champions
They like to send us
We’ll keep our ends up

WTF does any of that actually mean

Ports song is terrible. Surprised it largely escapes ridicule to be honest.

I haaaaaate the Carlton song. Not to mention the racist aspect of the song.

They've got Never Tear Us Apart to draw fire away from their actual song.

It's not too bad but they regret the "silver, teal, black and white" and "PorPower!" Lines they have been trying to disassociate themselves from for a decade.

 

[Sir Ronald Mac]

The first chorus "We're the pride of South Australia, we're the Fukin Adelaide Crows".

I prefer a little bit hardcore, show a bit of Ruthlessness.

Good lyric either way. Vs "we keep our end up"

It was until the 2018 re-recording, not sure why they felt the need to change it.

The Carlton football club song is not racist.

Lily of Laguna contains several slurs and was considered so racist that by the 1940s popular singers of the day, such as Bing Crosby, sung a new version shorn of its most troubling lines. "
