club songs rate Top three/Bottom three

[stickman11]

yellow & black

Are these the only words a majority of richmond supporters know when singing their theme song?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Own team aside

1) North Melbourne - especially the prelude, would be awesome to be in the circle when thats being sung
2) Melbourne - old club song, simple yet effective
3) Carlton - hate the team, like the song

Worst
1) West Coast - absolute abortion of a theme song.
2) Freo - as above. At least they tried.
3) Adelaide - pathetic and lame.

 

[Cthublhu]

Best:

1. Carlton - best trombone solo out of any of the 16 club songs
2. Richmond - One of those songs you don't mind hearing occasionally, but would probably hate if heard more than 4-5 times a season
3. Collingwood - Sounds great, especially when accompanied by loud boos

Worst:

1. Freo heave ho
2. Port -'We'll never stop stop stop till we're top top top' was approved by the same committee that went for teal
3. Collingwood - 'Oh the Premiership's a cakewalk'? Really?

 

[coasting]

Best - West Coast, Richmond, Port Adelaide

Worst - Fremantle, Carlton, Geelong

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

1. North Melbourne
2. Richmond
3. Melbourne

16. Port Adelaide
15. West Coast
14. Fremantle

I actually pretty much like every other club song. Essendon's is ordinary, in my opinion.

 

[krusden]

Best (minus the saints which is yes unoriginal but I like it):
- the whole of the tigers' song. Brilliant, and easily sung by drunken family members at the MCG
- The prelude to north melbourne's
- Of the newer sides I think the best written is the adelaide crows song. I hate it, hate hearing it sung but I recognise its nice and catchy and uplifting for the fans.

Worst
- Freo - just because its based on a traditional tune doesn't make it good
- Port - Sorry port but your crosstown rivals have the wood on you here too.
- Gold Coast/GWS - I suspect that their songs will be tripe.

Top three club songs
1.Freo - pretty good song for such a bad team
2.Port- as above
3.Richmond- as above above

Bottom three
1.Melbourne- nothing worse then copying american anthem tone
2.West Coast- I don't like my own teams song
3.Collingwood- just annoys me this one

Can't believe you think Freo has the best song!

Mine,

Top
1 Hawks (passionate club song)
2 Tigers (upbeat)
3 Geelong (has a good tune)

Bottom
1 West Coast (i dunno, just sounds strange) - the St. Kilda song was close simply because it's tooo basic and repetitive.
2 Carlton (sounds like something that will put you to sleep, not one bit is it upbeat)
3 Freo (sound like something Village People would sing)

 

[Blues_Man]

1: Richmond ...catchy tune ...especially the yellow and bleak part
2: Blues. classy and traditional
3: Dees. great song
4: Roos. another catchy one
5: Swans. effective

meh ones:
Pies (love the premierships a cakewalk bit )
Bombers
Hawks
Lions
Saints
Dogs

terrible:
Cats
Crows
Port
West coast
Freo ..what a cringeworthy attempt .

 

[DrJon]

Huh? OK not most but many...

Hawks "Yankee Doodle" is a well-known Anglo-American song, the origin of which dates back to the Seven Years' War. It is often sung patriotically in the United States today and is the state anthem of Connecticut.[1]
Melbourne is a civil war song
Lions French Anthen
Swans The "Notre Dame Victory March" is the fight song for the University of Notre Dame.

Mate, the Hawthorn theme song is not Yankee Doodle, which derives fropm the Seven Years War. It's "Yankee Doodle Dandy" which is a totally different song, written by George Cohan as a number for one of his Broadway musical numbers in the early tweneteith century. As was "Grand Old Flag"

I dont mind Collingwoods song, Has a bit of arrogance with the Cakewalk, but a great club off the field it is, a Great sucsess on the field it is not!

Personaly my Fav club song is Salisbury's

Cheer boys cheer,
We are the Salburyites,
It's only now and then we ever loose,
Ever loose,
We play the ball around,
At our home or any ground,
If we would only play the ball and not the man,
Play the ball,
Play the ball,
Play the ball,
Play the ball,
If we would only play the ball and not the man,
Not the man,
Were a ruggered bunch of fellas,
And everyone is a Star,
If were not at the footy,
You'll find us at the Bar,
And If you care to join us,
You'll find that were alright,
And then you'll be a member of the Mighty Black and White,
Should all aquantince be forgot,
Keep your eye on the Black and the White.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Absolutely horendous

Gold Coast.

 

[royboy2]

I've alwys liked this one:

Hurrah, Hurrah the Gisborne boys are we,
Hurrah, Hurrah we're happy as can be,
We'll keep the good ol' flag a flyin as high as you can see,
For Gisborne will be premiers of the Bendigo Football League.

Hurrah, Hurrah we're Bulldogs through and through,
Hurrah, Hurrah we're Gisborne staunch and true,
We fight our games out till the end, our losses will be few
For all the boys in we're the old Red, White and Blue.

 

[gbatman]

I always liked the Richmond song.

I can't remember it...

 

[Soul_Pie]

Obviously I'm going to have Collingwood as my favourite. Nothing beats singing the club song after a great victory, fantastic feeling.

Best:

1. Richmond
2. Carlton
3. Melbourne

Worst:

1. St Kilda
2. Port Adelaide
3. Hawthorn

Strangely enough, I don't really mind the Freo song, even though it seems to be disliked a lot on bigfooty.

 

[randyzany]

1. WE ARE GEELONG THE GREATEST TEAM OF ALL! ('nuff said)


2. SYDNEY (spine-tingling rendition)
3. CARLTON (nice inoffensive tune and amusing lyrics)



14. Hawthorn/Essendon (Just plain stupid and uninsipiring)
15. Collingwood (Dull)
16. Richmond (Horrible ditty that should only appeal to pre-schoolers. Can picture the wiggles coming up with something like this. It's beyond me why it's held by so many as one of the best club anthems in the comp)

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Don't know if I really dislike any club song. But the ones i do like are;

Richmond - the Yellow & Black is great.
Brisbane - though it might just be because I heard it after beating Collingwood in a GF. Twice.
Doggies - Bulldogs through and through.....

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Surprised St Kilda's hasnt got more hate, on the basis of it being really boring and having 3 words.

As I got to sing the Tiger's song a lot over my illustrious amateur football career, I'm rather fond of it.

Also the fact I haven't had to listen to it at a Saints game since 2003?
