'AFL Theme Song'

[NAUGHT5]

I used to love the song before 3AW's coverage a few years back.
theres carlton collingwood essendon sydney hawthorn adelaide richmond melbourne geelong west coast st.kilda fremantle north melbourne brisbane western bulldogs. No room for port though haha.
was shattered when they got rid of it.
anyone know were i can d'load so i can listen once more?

 

[Spluff]

I can't stand the music they put on their ads, from things that are already shit like Fallout Boy to things that are good like Dropkick Murphies but become shit after the twentieth time you've heard it.

 

[Clay Davis]

yeah, the epic Fanfare for the Common Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer would be pretty funny. ridiculous piece of music though.

 

[Coach Bombay]

A song for all of the teams supporters that dont make finals.

[mcuzzy]

[MadMac]

I think you'll find that melody is infact the song "Im Shpping Up To Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys.

Other recent AFL songs include;

Snakeskin - Gyroscope
Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy.

I'm Shipping Up To Boston - Dropkick Murphys

Thanks boys.
LimeWire is all over it atm.

I loved that too!! I thought I was the only one.

'It's a game for the game
Not the faint of heart..'

Just great lyrics to sing along to.

Here is my current favorite (from the NFL) - OK this is last year's version, but it's my favorite. BOOTS!

Wow, I never realised how badly that was made.

At the end when Buddy is getting round Dons defenders, you see can just see the edge of the Southern Stand, apparently filled with supporters. On the following close up after the kick, it's empty. The CGI dude has forgotten to paint the crowd in.

Just like a Port game then...

[Dont be a lemon]

Holy Grail is annoying and boring. I was quite glad when Ten stopped flogging it in every broadcast.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

They should play an afl song after a draw, as the atmosphere is very well I cant even describe it.

that's a good idea.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Holy Grail is annoying and boring. I was quite glad when Ten stopped flogging it in every broadcast.

Exactly. It was a good song before Ten played it over 200 times during their first 5 year TV deal. Afterwards, I felt it was too much of a sissy long to be associated with footy I and was glad they went with that generic theme they have now with the players amongst the Aussie skyscrapers.

 

[FootyJunkie]

can't find anything online that has that '93 Channel 7 theme, it was a good theme for footy

 

[screech]

Still the favourite of mine for the footy telecasts

One of the worst was the song they used two years in a row (it think 93-94) at the brownlow telecasts "Take Charlie Home Tonight" or something similar

From memory...
Who's gonna take the Brownlow away,
Which player's won the ri-ight.
A champion will walk out of here
and take Charlie home tonight

And then multiple verses of footage and lyrics about contenders and past winners

 

[FootyJunkie]

Still the favourite of mine for the footy telecasts

you can hear the tune of it during the halftime clip of this Crows-Pies game from 1993

The best part is at 1.54 of that clip.

I like it when they play Kashmir by Led Zeppelin time to time

Not wrong there! Classic.

Can remember a few..



"Friday nights a great night for football..."

"When the house is a rockin' dont bother knockin''

there was a funny part in that song where they said "weve got Bruce, Tim and Robbo now the party's on"

My favourite: "Thats the thing about Football"

There was one called something like "stand tough"

"Its the name of the game.... Its the name of the gaaaaaaaaaame.... the name of the game is Australian!"

[/I][/B]

I've tried looking for this, but can't find it. It's also my favourite introduction of any season... so much so I reckon I can type this accurately. I used to sing it all the time in 1998.

Just come on in 'cause we've got it on
Give it to me, Friday night Football
The big game is coming your way
The Roos and the Dogs are ready to play
We've got it on, players take to the sky
AFL and Seven, now it's party time
Come on now, don't it feel good?
We're gonna rock the 'G
Yeah, we're gonna light it up.
We've got Bruce, Tim and Robbo, now the party's on.

Something like that..

 

[Deefolt]

do you see what i see when 7 showed scores, now that was a good anthem
