In 1997, Seven used "Va Pensiero" by Italian singer Zucchero: Also, from a now-defunct YouTube page: 1988: Pat Benatar - All Fired Up (before it became a cliche to use it for sports) 1991: Elton John - Measure of a Man 1992: U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing

Thought I might give this thread a bump with a few music choices I noted this season: Adelaide played "Headstrong" by Trapt a couple of time during warmups this year (an interesting choice, given the lead singer's recent antics on Twitter) This year, after Brisbane's many wins at the Gabba...

Fantastic find mate!

An interesting choice, considering the band are all Dockers supporters...

Thanks for the contributions SparkleNarkle, exactly what I was hoping to see in this thread

Great post Pakenhamsaint. Have you got any YouTube links for the first and last examples? (by which, I mean game clips where the songs can be clearly heard)

Triple M played "Throne" when going to an ad break a few times a couple of years ago.

I was specifically referring to songs played at the beginning of a broadcast. All the songs you mentioned have played in the background when they go to an ad break (other songs I can think of that have been used for this purpose include Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes, Raise The Alarm by The...

Do you know of any YouTube links that show them doing this?

Yes, the song that Triple M used as the theme for their coverage in the first few years (they use a different version now) And here's a list of other songs that have been used as radio footy opening themes (in no particular order): 3AW Something About Our Game (an original) Foo Fighters - Best...

WARNING: LONG POST BELOW This is a topic I've been researching and thinking about a lot over the past couple of years, and I'd like to fill in some gaps. Broadcast Seven's theme for 1998 and 1999 was "Rock the G" by Fisk and Christian (when they did a game from another venue, the lyrics were...

Interesting. When you add this to the fact that some of the Vic side that day weren't even Victorian (Dunstall, Daniher etc) it suggests that this match wasn't as great as the nostalgia filter suggests it is.

It was used as the Sunday Footy Show's opening theme around 2004. Pretty sure it wasn't used for any match coverage though.

That was part of Live and Kicking's "Kickin Karaoke" segment, which featured Weird Al-style song parodies about the hot topics in the league at the time... not exactly promo music, but I can't see anywhere else on this site where it would fit. Others included "Counting The Frees", an...

Seven used it for Saturday night games in 1996 (for the finals, they used She's A River by Simple Minds). Ten also used Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting in their promos in the leadup to the 2002 season (their first year with the rights)

Apparently it had a following in QLD as well.

Another lesser-used song for this type of thing:
