Best version of our theme song?

[Elite Master]

I've always favored the rendition of our theme song that was played in the lead up to when we enter the field in the Grand Finals from the 90's. It's got the faithful, correct lyrics but with a more modern, up beat tempo. Even in the 1999 Grand Final when we dropped the 'North Melbourne' tag and were only referred to as 'Kangaroos' - in the pre-game theme song it still included the original 'North Melbourne' lyrics as you can listen to bellow.

The version we'll all sing after no.5.

I have a Roo Ruckle bear thing that has the Kangaroos in the song from the early 2000’s

This was the Kangas version from 2001-2004

The 70’s version by that far it’s not funny.

The 2018 version sounds a bit weird. The other is an abomination.

This version is kinda like having a poo and spew simultaneously.

How is the 1990's Grand Finals pre-game version an abomination in your mind?

2001-2004 version is so bad I like to forget it ever existed. Did we go back to adding the traditional 'North Melbourne ' lyrics in 2005 and 2006 despite still being 'The Kangaroos?'

Honourable mention to the one I'm having played at my funeral

I have a 1967 version, sung by Smacka Fitzgibbon (google him.) The Herald and Weekly Times Ch 7 and 3DB group put out EPs (google it) for every club that included the theme song, history of the Club (voiced by 3 DB's Don Kinsey) plus an unsung jazz version and a dance version of the song. I put my hard earned 50c on the counter, accompanied by some tokens out of The Herald and came home very proud to be able to play it on our new family record player (@45rpm- google it.) Went to arrange a photo to attach but realised I lent it to my nephew a few years ago. Some of the other seniors on the forum might recall and even have one too. From memory the Smacka version was played at our home matches for a while before the Fable version took over in the mid 70s.
