Updated Club Song

[madfx]

That's an Australian wide thing now. Started I'm Canberra apparently. Yes, I've done it several times too.

We clearly are in the darkest timeline

 

[InTheWings]

2018 version is the unequivocal best version for game day, but wise men from the east and merry hell are immense, so re-record the 1987 version in the 2018 horns and all style thx xoxo

That would be my preference too.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I hate it because back when I used to work in functions here in Brisbane, one of the universities had a thing where all the blokes would drop their pants and sway their hips the the entirety of Eagle Rock, every time it was played. it was even in their constitution that security at the Uni bar couldn't do anything to blokes who did this in the bar.

Lame.

Like this?

Maybe it’s just me cause I know the whole lyrics, but belting out the OG word for word verse for verse and into the chorus was epic last Friday.

Chorus also works better than any other version.

Firmly in the OG version

 

[WestCoast05]

The drums at the start of our circa 2006 song need to come back. That banging around Optus would be something else after a win.

100% - reminds me of:

 

[ioppolo]

I'll admit I had to google what the drumming Gorilla was from. I had NFI.

Didn't know the chocolate add, but you knew lil mac? Weird to get the obscure video game one.

Are you mistaking me for another poster here?

 

[MeltMan]

I don't think so?

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

Any chance BOT version gets scrapped this offseason. Members poll?

I personally loved belting out the OG song after the Gold Coast win at Optus - so firmly in that camp.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

They won't reveal the winning club song until (if) we win.

Anyone get their nominated dj song chosen?
I think maybe they just picked 165 songs randomly.
I should've submitted more entries lol.

 

[Mop]

The old song was and is awful.


Somehow the new song is worse.

It's a hill I'll die on.

Kill them both with fire.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I like how literally everyone hates the Birds of Tokyo song except the people that implemented it. Even the players had an embarrassed reaction to it after hearing it for the first time according the Hammer Brayshaw,

It's so damn fitting that the first time it would've been played and sang was in front of an empty Optus stadium in the last game of the round before sport went on a few months hiatus and everyone couldn't be flatter.

The poll was for the victory theme song after the game (if we won). It wasn't for the pre-match theme song.

As we played like crap today, unfortunately we may never know which song won the poll...

I obviously didn’t read that bit when we voted I was all primed and ready to sing the OG when they ran out . I didn’t realise how much I enjoyed the OG until they played it for the GC game mind you we need more than the song changing to fix our issues

Yeah I voted for the OG too. Loved it at the GC game.

I did get to hear about 30 seconds of a song I nominated at 3/4 time - not quite the same though and it was Mr Brightside - probs will be forever associated with Jack Riewoldt but I like it too much to care about that .

2018 version is my fave given the 80s version is outdated re: lyrics.

But if Eagle Rock is in any danger of not being played anymore after wins I will be disgusted

Dumb Puke managing to find the one artist on the planet that could possibly make our current club song worse:



Just concentrate of pulling up the turf at MRP for now.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

So they are a friend(?) of one of their players who just invited her to training.
First the UFC, now this. Must be a new kind of marketing strategy to get random celebrities to make appearances at MRP.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Pyke was on ABC this morning. Pretty nothing interview really, but did mention at the end still looking at the song and will see what we can do

It's all very weird.
