Footy Music

[safooty]

Hey gang,

I'm helping out at Portland Football Club this year, and I'm going to take my cd/tape player with me, so you know, hopefully play some music between breaks like AFL game hehe.

Does anyone know some good songs you usually either hear at the footy or would be good to listen to.

Thanks.

Steve.

I remember a kickarse video in the early-mid 80s with SANFL footage of screamers and awesome play with the song 'Eye in the Sky' by Alan Parson Project. Worked well IIRC.

Although if we are talking Portland in the Western Border League..

How about 'Been Caught Stealin' by Janes Addiction (just pre-empting the North 'wits)

[safooty]

Hehe nah Portland in the Amateurs here in Adelaide.

Any more?

I forgot to address this in your email, Steve! Sorry about that!

For me, it would be things like;

We can't be beaten - Rose Tattoo
Playing to Win - Little River Band (with John Farnham up front)

That's off the top of my head!

[safooty]

Yeah got that, along with Holy Grail and Lets Get Ready to Rumble (Get Ready For This).

Any more????

Agreed about All Fired Up, I used to love it when we had that song blaring in the background, used to send the hairs on the back of my neck up.

[safooty]

Have that as well. I have quite a few songs they have playing at Unley before sturt games.

eg. Excalibur, that Ready to Rumble (Ready For This) Mixture, Holy Grail, Shake your Tailfeather by Ray Charles (Classic).

Any other ideas?
