Competition 3 June 2000 - Rewrite your footy club theme song as a modern pop song
| Dear Simon
This is a late entry but I only had the inspiration last night (Fri) Please consider this scenario: The final siren has blown about 5 mins ago, the North Melbourne Players are making their way down the concrete path under the MCG towards their dressing rooms, after just completley anniahlating the opposition (the name of the other club is not relevant). One particular player has just had 18 kicks, 18 handballs and 18 marks. The barrage of media follow the players, who form a circle and get ready to sing the theme song. When the players are about to break into song, they turn to face the media, but still maintain a close-knit circle. Everyone in the circle except for one particular player sings: (to the tune of achy breaky heart) Don't say his name, his achy breaky name, We just don't think you'll understand. 'Cause if you say his name, his achy breaky name, It might just mean we're a one man band. Daics: woo hoo hoo hoo Jason Potito, We are Geelong Sung to the tune of ?I am Woman? We are Geelong, hear us roar We always kick a mammoth score But no half time lead can truly be called ?safe? If you?re not afraid of the cats You?ve never seen one of our spats Were usually just percentage behind eighth CHORUS We got so close in ?89 The year the ?God? was truly great And that F***ing ?Handbag? line was last funny in ?68 If you know us, we?ll squander any lead We are strong (strong), We are invincible (invincible) We are Geelong Through our veins runs the blue and white We were first to train on Friday Nights Even after that there is no drinking beer We?re the team nearest to Torquey It?s been so long since ?63 but I?m certain that we?ll take the flag this year In every aspect of the game We have got superior knowledge In the draft we reign supreme As long as they come from 'The College' We are 'Fair dinkum, unbelievable' We are strong (strong), We are invincible (invincible) We are Geelong . I hope you like it. Chris Hardie DEAR SIMON Re Songs, Please pardon the length but this is my special subject. It has been noticeable that the skill level has diminished recently – in the singing of the club songs. As such, singing lessons are a likely innovation for next year’s draft camp. Perhaps this October a coach will say, “We would like to pick up a baritone with our first draft pick”. There is a great marketing opportunity for clubs in the “team Song” arena. Songs should include specific player names and thereby generates a reason to change the song on a regular basis as players come and go. There are two current AFL songs that are “modern”. One is Freo’s – because it contains an Americanism: “Way to Go.” .. and the baby boomers don’t like it. The other modern one is the Tigers theme song as it is sung with gusto and the fans love it: As such, it can be used for the Hawks: Hawthornland There is a player down at Hawthornland And this young player – he is really coming on! HAY! His name’s Johnathon! HAY! He is the sort of player we can build our dreams upon And down at Hawthornland We’ll be ecstatic as he helps us win a flag Like the Hawker of old, He’s faithful and bold Oh, we’re from Hawthorn yellow and brown We’re from Hawthornland Then for the Bulldogs: (tune = Alouetta; is this modern?) Liberatore, Tony Liberatore He’s the shortest Brownlow medallist He may come up to your rib ECHO: He may come up to your rib To your rib ECHO: To your rib Tony Lib ECHO: Tony Lib Ooooooooh Liberatore, Tony Liberatore He’s the shortest Brownlow medallist He may come up to your chin ECHO: He may come up to your chin To your chin ECHO: To your chin To your rib ECHO: To your rib Tony Lib ECHO: Tony Lib Ooooooooh Liberatore, Tony Liberatore He’s the shortest Brownlow medallist If he comes up to your locks ECHO: He is standing on a box To your locks ECHO: On a box To your chin ECHO: To your chin To your rib ECHO: To your rib Tony Lib ECHO: Tony Lib Ooooooooh Liberatore, Tony Liberatore He’s the shortest Brownlow medallist Then for the Crows (tune = “Jenny” or “8675309”) Rehnie, Rehnie, stress is on your knee Cos your fifty-two is too weighty You need a single digit number for sure But don’t pick one, nor two; and don’t pick four Rehnie, peruse these numbers Claim one and say, “It’s mine!” Rehnie please choose your number 8, 6, 7, 5, 3 or 9; 8, 6, 7, 5, 3 or 9; 8, 6, 7, 5, 3 or 9; 8, 6, 7, 5, 3 or 9; The Saints would have a video clip to the tune of “Star Trekkin’” (FX in brackets) Saints Trekkin’ across the AFL Seeking footy heaven Not doing that well; Saints Trekkin’ across the universe Seeking to go forward But we’re stuck in reverse (Match Day Comments) There’s Crows free on the forward flank, forward flank, forward flank, There’s Crows free on the forward flank, forward flank, Tim (Doctor’s report from ground level) It’s worse than that, he’s bled Tim, bled Tim, bled Tim, It’s worse than that, he’s bled Tim, bled Tim, bled. (Summary of Football Park supporter behaviour) It’s life, Tim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it, It’s life, Tim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Timmy. (Match Committee comment on how to beat the Bombers) You cann-ie* change the laws of Footy, laws of Footy, laws of Footy, You cann-ie change the laws of Footy, laws of Footy, Tim [* Scottish for “cannot”] (Tim: reviewing other AFL coach sackings and remembering his previous job) They moved in fast, stabbed to kill, stabbed to kill, stabbed to kill, They moved in fast, stabbed to kill, SEVEN, BEAM ME UP!!!! Doug Long This one sort of works but I think it needs the dab hand of Champy to get it really 'humming' It's to the tune of Midnight Oils "U.S. forces and starts " Good old Collingwood for E-ever" (guitar break) They know how to play the game (Guitar) Side by side they stick toge-e-ther etc. It works for the first four lines, but I wanted the final four lines go with the tempo change in the song but unfortunately it only has three lines to match. You can do the whole song repeating the initial tune, but it becomes a bit bland, although it would be a stirring head banger version, particularly effective when Collingwood inflicts the Dons first loss for the year in round 22, from which they never recover, being bundled out of the finals with successive losses. Cheers, Pete Minahan It is evident that the modern football coach has a calmer, friendlier, more laid back approach, as exemplified by Mark ‘Bomber’ Thomson or Tim Watson, and players find them a lot easier to relate to. Players will no longer tolerate being taken into the rooms at half time and berated on how useless and miserable they all are (despite being a few goals in front) as was the coaching style of by-gone eras. Therefore the following theme song is to be sung at half time, to the coach, if he dares to raise his voice toward the modern player. Sung with the modern elegance and sophistication of the techno-bop beat of ‘Madison Avenue” “Don’t Call Me Lazy” (Song for the coach) You and me We have an opportunity To be Competing in the Grand Final But you You treat me like some kid at school But if we’re friends we’re going to have to play it by these rules Our pre-season’s far too long By September we’ll be gone No witches hats, no fancy drills We’ll get the pill and kick it long Sleep in next day And when we’re playing good Then praise us like you should Don’t call us ‘lazy’ All you do is push the magnet board around Tuesday night you’ll run us into the ground Fill the hole? You must be crazy Not in front of Plugger Don’t call me ‘lazy’ This year you Have trained us with the parachute The fire walking Running up sand dunes Now we aren’t sure If it’s a game or war Ask Kevin Sheedy if there’s still room on the bench for more A finger shouldn’t point at me If my man has staged a free Up in the coaches box You won’t affect our season’s destiny We’ll tackle hard We’ll run in twos and threes You’ll remember to say ‘please’ Don’t call us ‘lazy’ When the siren’s gone is when you do your thing When we’re visiting the Gabba in spring The outer wing is much more shady There you can talk to me But don’t call me ‘lazy’ Michael Viljoen, -first time entrant (& leader of the footy tipping among the lifeguards at the Harold Holt Pool) Glen Iris. Simon, Here are some suggested clubsongs. For any team other than the AAA Kangaroos, to the tune of Queen's "I want to break free" I want to whack Wayne I want to whack Wayne I want to whack Wayne, he sticks out his chest I know he's the best..my team really needs him I want to whack Wayne (sorry to mention No. 18 by name) For the Bombers, to Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" Look at our Bombers that's the way you do it You run the ball from your own backline That's a set play that's the way you do it Just follow the plan and you win each time Now that's a set play that's the way you do it Let me tell you old Sheeds ain't thick Maybe get a turnover,... on occassions When bloody Wallis mucks a kick We've gotta draft more players like Hirdy Custom made,.... to go forward or back We've gotta get a lot more members Then we can give Wayne Jackson the sack For the Saints to the chorus of Abba's "Fernando" There is something in your back right now But you don' know how, oh Timmy I stuck it there for all like me Committee, oh Timmy Though we never thought that we would lose Your just no good If we had to do the same again, we would my friend Ask Alvesy For the Tigers, to the Who's "Pinball Wizard" Ever since I can remember I cheered the yellow and black (the bold section is shouted) And for many years We were leaders of the pack If our coaches failed Then they just got the sack But now it is our year And you can hear the roar is back We're from Tigerland And we are on the up We're from Tigerland And we will win the cup John Treseder St Arnaud (where the only Kangas I see are on the side of the road with their legs spread) "When The Saints Go Marching In" is a stirring song but it's not working. Perhaps a dreary song is called for. TUNE: "WOODEN HEART" (Sorry, it's not new but I'm more Magic 693 vintage than Triple M.) Saints are slow, Just won't go, And our play just will not flow, Even with Harves, Burke and Loewe, But we don't want the wooden spoon. We won't rate The final eight, Fifteenth place could be our fate, To make that would be great 'cos we don't want the wooden spoon. There'll be sighin' and sobbin' At Linton Street, Moorobbin If we don't win another game quite soon. So players all, 'specially Hall, Please avoid the tribunal' Just kick the rotten ball, 'cos we don't want the wooden spoon! Hugh Saunders Simon, I feel the following rewording of existing club songs captures the essence of the Club. For the Tigers Oh we're from Liquorland A drunken rabble, we're from Liquorland After any game you will see us in a bar But we won't drive our car If we're not discreet, we miss a week For Danny's is in charge Oh we're from Liquorland We never leave till the final drunk has gone Like the players of old We love our beer cold We fancy liquor,......Bundy and Coke! We're from Liquorland What we all believe about the Blues We breach the salary cap But no one can prove that fact Champions all, we pay them through the nose But premierships count and we have 16 of those With all the lurks, that Jack has taught us No team can "out rort" us And that's what they all know That we're not playing on a level field You can't forget the Pies Crap old Collingwood as ever We can't seem to win a game Side by side beat our endeavour Apart from Buckley we are lame See Eddie up there ranting As our supporters do Oh, the Premierships a pipedream For crap old Collingwood Sincerely, Matt Cronin Fremantle Dockers to the tune of "Lido Shuffle" (Boz Scaggs) with special guest vocalist Peter Daicos. "Freo missed the league the day the AFL was stacked, Jeff White was missed and he ain't coming back. An army camp at 4a.m., Drummie made a point, Just long enough to not get thrashed at every joint. Next stop Melbourne town Drummie put the challenge down, And let it roll, He said one more win ought to get it, If Clive Waterhouse could just kick it, One more for the west ! FREO, Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Peter Daicos special vocals) We're for the wharfies, we're for the moon, Freo's waiting for the spoon, FREO, Whoa-oh -oh-oh (Daics) One more loss might get it, Then another captain gets the bullet, Second team from the west. from Paul Russo/John Clements (3366 Faction) Gentlemen I was actually negotiating the Frankston freeway in the '84 Blue Corrolla (auto) and not the 2nd hand Volvo from Bilia Hawthorn. For the record, the club Secretary drives the 2nd hand Volvo at Yarra. I'd be more than happy to negotiate the remaining D2 Ammos 2000 fixture in the complementary Volvo from Bilia though. I have devised an efficient song for the 15 clubs other than Essendon, sung to the tune of Area 7's "Second Class Citizen", which you no doubt have heard on the Lloyd/Carey Nike Ad at the golf driving range: Champs: "We don't wanna play" Rest: "Play Against Essendon" Champs: "Why do we have to" Rest: "Play Against Essendon" Champs: "We don't wanna play" Rest: "Play against Essendon" Champs: "Anymore" Cheers Oliver Kysela Yarra Valley Old Boys (v Thomastown at home) Modern version of the North Melbourne Kangaroos theme song. Sing to the tune of "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by the late (great) Ian Dury From the mud at Arden Street To the famous M.C.G. Kangaroos are hard to beat With their simple stat-e-gy... Hit me with a straight long kick Hit me, Hit me Kick it long and kick it quick Hit me, Hit me, Hit me Hit me with a straight long kick Short little chips JUST MAKE ME SICK! Hit me, Hit ME, HIT ME From the backline or on the wing We move it on to reach the KING If they start to mess about This is what he shouts out... Hit me with a straight long kick Hit me, Hit me Kick it long and kick it quick Hit me, Hit me, Hit me Hit me with a straight long kick Short little chips JUST MAKE ME SICK! Hit me, Hit ME, HIT ME Keith Payne Hi I enjoyed meeting you last Saturday at the Volvo place and thank you for the prize my little boy Kieran won for wearing a Bulldogs jumper. Dustin in his Carlton jumper scored pockets full of Freddo frogs, a painted face, and a giant balloon hat that he wore shopping down Burke Rd later. Both were thrilled to bits. I had two nice lattes (even though I ended up sticking with the Gemini) but did not get the chance to express the fact that I am a Collingwood supporter - I suppose I could have gone for the black and white face but think I'll wait till next year. Thinking of next year I thought I'd submit the following modernised version of our song: "Wicked cool Collingwood forever Mick'll teach us how to play the game. When the young blokes get their acts together Buckley won't be our only name. The barrackers are trying to wear Versace cos Eddie says we don't look no good. Oh the flags a low-fat rice cake for the up-to-date Collingwood" David Harris Dear Simon I have completely rewritten the Brisbane Lions theme song, sung to the tune of the old Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs hit "Mashed Potato" A catchy little song which should appeal to all ages and all people from all walks of life. It goes like this:- " Brisbane Lions yeah....yeah....yeah....yeah....yeah....yeah....yeah..............." I think you get the hang of it. Kind regards Trevor Staples Dear Coodabeens, My new Western Bulldogs' theme song is based on the start of "West End Riot" by The Living End. Here are the real lyrics for it... There's a kid who was born and was raised in the west There's a kid from the east that never really fit in with the rest Every week they would meet in the streets with their friends With the guns that they made and the caps that they stole they will fight to their death This time we'll have victory Last time ended in a defeat Our town becomes a battle ground West End Riot, West End Riot We'll be here next Saturday With our guns and our heads held high So listen up boys, you'd better not cry this time and so on and so on... Now here's my version... There's a club that was born and was raised in the west There are kids who were born and never fitted in with the west Every week they would meet in Barkly St. with their friends With the balls that they made and the boots that they stole they would fight to the death This time we'll have victory Last time ended in defeat The Docklands becomes a battleground West-Ern Bulldogs, West-Ern Bulldogs We'll be here next Saturday, Sunday or Friday Night So listen up boys you'd better not choke this time. And unfortunately the last line works well with all that we have seen from the Dogs over the last couple of years. p.s. i saw on your site a couple of weeks ago that someone put down that they live in Eltham and they said that this means they should live in a mud-brick house, well... I live in Eltham and we live in a house with the technology to have the to have the house made of bricks and we have things like TV's and radios and computers! Michael Hogg Dear Simon, I reckon this song would hit the spot for 90s Tiger fans- ACHY BREAKY TIGES You can take out Brodders And you can take Brad Ottens And you can have the Kellaways as well We'll even give you Joel Although he'll leave a hole And Daffy, Knights and Campbell, what the hell. And Gaspar - well okay And Rogers - come what may And Benny, if you're still unsatisfied. But if you touch our Richo Our achy breaky Richo Us Tiger fans'll have you crucified. So don't take our Richo Our achy breaky Richo I just don't think you understAYand That if you take our Richo our achy breaky Richo You'll self-inflict the curse of TigerLAYand. Also, Who's the leader of the backs for Triple A NM? M-I-C K-E-Y M-A-R-T-N. Regards Stuart McArthur PS: Savage Garden are well known for their HITS. An anagram of Savage Garden is DragenSavage, well known for his miss. Oh the irony. PPS: Heard rumours the Tiges are considering taking their end of season trip now, as none of them are doing much the next few weeks anyway. And apparently there are good discount package deals at the moment for sunny Epworth. G'Day Boys 1. To the tune of the "Here’s Humphrey" theme music……… What a funny old team is Freeo They get in all manner of strife They play a very exciting game And the WACA’s their favourite ground. Which is hardly so very surprising Their win/loss ratio at Suby is low What a funny old team is Freeo Neesham taught them everything they know. 2. To the tune of "You’re th one that I Want" - Grease We got wins They’re multiplying Our fans are losing control ‘Cause the Bombers They are a flyin’ But Kevin Sheedy’s cryin’ We better shape up (up, bup, bup) Cause we need a flag We’re not the favourite, that’s theRoos We better shape up up (up, bup, bup) Or just by a single point The Prelim Final we will lose !!! Not the Swans Oh no, please not the Blues It’s the flag that we want It is the flag we want, Ooh Ooh, Ohh ………… Brendan Saunders Dear Coodabeens, I had chosen "Everybody Hurts" by REM and I was going to re-write it for the St Kilda Football club. However on listening to it carefully, I realised the original lyrics were far better than anything I could come up with so I left it alone. Here's an example: "When your day is long, and the night, is yours alone, And you feel like giving up, on this life, Hang on. Cos Everybody Hurts, sometimes." Go Roos, Angie Peacock. Simon, I don't know if this if off the mark or not but, it makes fun of Collingwood, so that must be thereabouts. The tune is the theme to "Gilligan's Island" Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale A tale of a fateful team By the time I have finished it You can choose to laugh or scream The coach has a proven history The President is overexposed Five wins to begin with set the scene A premiership was supposed........ a premiership was supposed The games started getting tough No experience took its cost If not for the courage of the man named Bucks The season would be lost........the season would be lost The Club hit bottom after round twenty Its probably best if it just folds So lets draft again......lets get someone good One who plays forward........and has speed Plays back well.....and can ruck* And win for Mighty Pies * If singing the second version insert ....can kick and ruck.... Peter Treseder Dear Panel, I got the idea for this song about 2 weeks ago while holidaing in Cairns and I had full intention of sending into you guys (In particular Champs) to do something with it. I was watching video hits as usual on the Saturday morning when a remake of the Song "Hey mambo" "Mambo Italiania" by a group called "Shaft" with an upbeat dance sound came on. (NB It maybe worth a listen to the song to get the tempo) Instantly the words "Hey Christou" "Kick it to Koutoufidis" rolled of the tongue. However in light of the compitition I've renamed it. If it isn't successful I am sure champs could make a classic to rival "I'm Diperideminico"? Anyway here goes: "Hey Carlton" "Kick it to Koutoufidis" The Carlton Blues from Optus Oval Are proud and bold and blue all over We were playing bad and not on song But wait a minute, something´s wrong; Hey, Christou! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Hey, Campo! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Hey, Seco! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Go you flexed up Greek Adonis, kick a bag and win it for us Hey Carlton, don´t wanna runners upa Hey Carlton, we want another Silver Cuppa Hey Carlton, Kick it to Koutoufidis! And will have another cuppa and a go a two uppa Hey, Macka! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Hey, Franga! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Hey, Sosa! Kick it to Koutoufidis! Go you flexed up Greek Adonis, kick a bag and win it for us All the best & love the show, Jason North Dear Coodabeens, My first foray into song writing (don't think I'll be able to give up the day job!) I chose this particular piece because of the incongruous (good word for a Tiger supporter don't you think?) mix of "macho-ness" of the die-hard Richmond-Army type supporters (if youse don't barrack for the tige's youse a girl!!) versus the new SNAG type supporters that the AFL are trying to cultivate. Basically, I don't in my wildest immagination envisage that any Richmond supporters would sing this theme song- however I was a little bored yesterday and put pen to paper anyway !! Hope the standard is not too low. Us "Chardonnay" type Tiger supporters listen to you every week. Keep up the insanity! Regards Jeanette Ripper To the tune of YMCA by The Village People RichmondFC Verse 1 Tigers there's a need to feel proud I said Tigers, get yourselves on the ground I said Tigers, we're the best team in town Don't- even- need -to- play- "big- Mat-ty" Verse 2 Tigers, as a club we all know That it's winning really puts on a show When you play well, I am sure you will find That-the-fans-will-be -on-your-side
CHORUS It's great to barrack for the Richmond FC It's great to barrack for the Richmond FC We are tigers of old, we are strong and we're bold You can bet that this club's got soul It's great to barrack for the Richmond FC It's great to barrack for the Richmond FC We are yellow and black, want our flags back to back And won't settle for less than that
Verse 3 Tigers, should never drive when they drink 'Cause they fall down, then spend the night in the clink That means that the next week they don't play And-then-they-get-in-trouble-in-a big-way
Verse 4 Spud said "stop that stuffing around" He said "you need to hold your heads proud" "No more, will you guys ever stray" "I- will- teach- you-how-the-best-play. CHORUS
Verse 5 No man can do it all by himself Now that "Richo's" spending time on the shelf Matty Rogers and that Drag-ic-ce-vic Can- really- show-them-how-to-goal-kick Verse 6 "Knighter", "Campbo" and "Daff" all have heart But to win games, the whole tige team must take part "Go long down forward" is the way we must play But-as-fall-back-we-have-two-Kelloways! CHORUS Hi Simon, This is my first attempt at your competition, I hope you like it. I have been a faithful Saints supporter for the past 33.5 years. The Saints have a home strip and an away strip. My concept is along similar lines: the club should have two theme songs: one for winning and one for losing. The benefits are obvious: win or lose, we get to sing a song. This gives Channel 7 the option of entering the Saints rooms after a loss, sticking their cameraman in the middle, and having him pan around the singing team. I for one would have liked to see this after the Freo match. The club winning song is somewhat nominal, but "When the Saints Go Marching In" will do fine. For the club losing song, I propose the following version of Britney Spears' current hit: "Oops! ... I did it again", as follows: OOPS! ... We did it again. Intro Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 1st Verse Looks like we did it again We made you believe We were the real thing Oh Sainters ... You just think we wuz robbed But it doesn't mean We could've done the job Cos to lose guys through in - jur - y That is just so typically us Oh, Baby, Oh ... Chorus Oops, we did it again We played with our hearts but still lost the game But Guru says ... "Oops, you think you're ok But I say from above You're not that talented!" 2nd Verse See our problem is this We're dreaming away Wishing for heroes that truly exist Oh Cowboy, Barry and Doc Can't you see that we're fools In so many ways But to lose guys through sus-pens-ion That is just so typically us Oh, Baby, Oh ... Repeat Chorus Song notes: 1. The intro serves as tuning, where each player selects his own key (as in: "Weeeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeee a happy team at Hawthorn") 2. The line "You just think we wuz robbed" should be sung with an upward inflection. 3. The line "You're not that talented!" is shouted fortissimo (a la the Tigers' "YELLOW AND BLACK!"). This should boost morale. Best regards, Bill Jacobs Dear Simon (and Greg who looks like getting a workout this week) Here is the Essendon Football Clubs Song re written to the tune of Red Hot Chili Peppers 'Give it away now' I'm sure Champs will get the drift but if you are unsure let me know and I'll make a sound byte with very poor sining and now music to give him the jist. Thanks Kev (Slow starting bit) Some tiiimes I like to go to the Football, I really like it when my favourite team wins The team from Windy Hill yeah, The team called the Bombers, and this is the song that we like to siiiing (Rock'n bit) See the Bombers ,see the Bombers fly up now, Gonna win that premiership flag now, They have boys who play this grand ol ag---yume Always striving for Glory and Fa----yume See the Bombers see them fly up yeah, win the granny at the end of the year--yah There are other teams that we dont fear-----yah They all try but they cant get near--------yah See the Bombers fly up this winter thier glow keeps you warm, wont let you shiv-er thier brave hearts will never wither C'mon all you Dons, its time to deli--ver!

Regards, Peter Hickey. Modern club songs; Well the Eagles could change their song to 'OOPS I DID IT AGAIN' by Btitney Spears. This would be appropriate because they have not missed the finals in the past decade. As for Sydney they could have a couple of different theme songs, either 'Candy'by Mandy Moore which goes like so, 'I'm missing you like Candy' OR 'Goodbye' by the Spice girls. Both of these songs are in recognition of Tony Lockett. A modern song that Richmond could not change they're song to is the AFL theme song 'Stand tough' because they don't have any players standing.
