Crows new anthem

[Stinger...]

Whose outfits seem to be shrinking by the week.

hmmm still trying to think of why thats a bad thing??? :

 

[DaveW]

“the pride of SA” club song will stay.

Damn.

 

[Skippy_14]

Because they would HAVE to be freezing. Makes me cold just looking at them.

Strange ....... It seems to make others hot by looking at them.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Sad man Macca!

Have you lads seen the Coke dance crew up close? They're shockers.

 

[creature-beast]

speaking of music at games...

what the hell happened to 'the final countdown' before every game? they played it at half time during the bays the other week and i was so happy i fell to my knees and cried to the heavens.

 

[Hasus]

What kind of sick, twisted joke is this?

 

[ok.crows]

I see the Members were not consulted AGAIN

What garbage

Why did they not just take "You'll Never Walk Alone" - proven winner, gives you goose bumps.

However if its only on the Big Screen who cares.

The highlights have been good.

I would have nominated "True colours" ...

...

...

... well OK, for a footy club, I would have tried to get rid of the "beautiful like a rainbow" bit perhaps.

That's what I want to know. I thought 'The Final Countdown' was great.

We've since had 'She Bangs' by Ricky Martin (and later William Huang), and 'It's my Life' (which always sounded more like a cover than the original Bon Jovi version, maybe it's just the dodgy PA system at AAMI).

As for the club song, if it aint broke, don't fix it. What was with that slow garbage at the end of Saturday night's game. Maybe it was a desperate attempt to get people running to the Shed, or maybe the redcoats hijacked the PA system, and played that song to get everyone out quicker so they could go home sooner.

 

[Paralowiepower]

NEGATIVE: Whoever came up with this idea should be sacked. It reeks of John Reids dirty work.

POSITIVE: It could be worse. If they had have consulted ParalowiePiwer for favourite song, we would all be singing Bronski Beat tunes at fulltime.

Exactly right, why would I want to give you a good song?
We will keep U2's Beautiful Day thanks

 

[Paralowiepower]

Cheer up, it's not as bad as those dumb clapping hands you use to have on the video screen. Now that was embarrassing!

Totally agree. From icy cold Coca Cola to warm Home Brand Diet Cola in the space of 100 metres...

TITLE: You're in My Heart
Lyrics


Honestly... the lyrics speak for themselves. On the strength of one line "you're in my heart, you're in my soul", we're prepared to make ourselves a laughing stock.

********ing ridiculous.

I actually don't mind Rod Stewart on some songs, and that one's not that bad- as long as it's not played at the bloody footy.

What are they thinking??

As you quite rightly say - fkg ridiculous.

 

[Munga]

Talk about corny.

 

[cooperjai]

how bout when your boys start over-using the handball the PA guys could crank out "HOT POTATO HOT POTATO" (wiggles) and everyone can do the actions...
how cool would that look

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Damn.

What's wrong with our song? I reckon it's great. Beats the sh*t out of
"we will stop, stop, stop................".

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Cheer up, it's not as bad as those dumb clapping hands you use to have on the video screen. Now that was embarrassing!

That was bad, nearly as bad as your "back to back" defense. Now that is embarrasing.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

how bout when your boys start over-using the handball the PA guys could crank out "HOT POTATO HOT POTATO" (wiggles) and everyone can do the actions...
how cool would that look

Or in your case, when Pete Burgoyne has possession, you could play Jailhouse Rock or Radioheads "i'm a creep".

We now know that Port Adelaide wont go back-to-back so that’s a good thing and they can not use the marketing strategy of the one and only Britany Spears with “opps we did it again”

OK, reality check.

1. It's a good idea, but the members should have been consulted - nominations, a vote or something.
2. Let's face it, Liverpool's anthem is a soppy song from a cheesy 1960s musical. It still works.
3. It has to be a slow song. Crowds can't sing fast songs.
4. It's going to have to be something with a bit of "old fart" to it - that is, a song that's been around for a long time, a bit of a classic, and lots of people know. You can't just take something off the latest Hottest 100 CD.

5. But we could do better than the one the club is proposing. Still, there's nothing stopping us from singing something else. Only problem is of course that this one is being drummed in by the club.

TITLE: You're in My Heart
Lyrics

I didn't know what day it was when you walked into the room
I said hello unnoticed, you said goodbye too soon
Breezin' through the clientele, spinnin' yarns that were so lyrical
I really must confess right here that the attraction was purely physical

I took all those habits of yours, which in the beginning were hard to accept
Your fashion sense, your Beardsley prints I chalked up to experience
The big-bosomed lady with a Dutch accent who tried to change my point of view
Her ad lib lines were well rehearsed, but my heart poured out for you

{Refrain}
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You'll be my breath should I grow old
You are my lover, you're my best friend
You're in my soul

My love for you is immeasurable, my respect for you immense
You're ageless, timeless, lace and fineness, you're beauty and elegance
You're a rhapsody, a comedy, you're a symphony and a play
You're every love song ever written, but honey what do you see in me

You're an essay in glamour, please pardon the grammar, but you're every schoolboy's dream
You're Celtic, United, but baby I've decided you're the best team I've ever seen
And there have been many affairs, many times I felt to leave
But I bite my lip and turn around, 'cause you're the warmest thing I ever found

Honestly... the lyrics speak for themselves. On the strength of one line "you're in my heart, you're in my soul", we're prepared to make ourselves a laughing stock.

********ing ridiculous.

Do you think this bit was the sole reason they decided to use this song? It is the only part which has an inkling of relevance.

Anyways it's not that bad an idea. The problem is the the song is way too long. The crowd will only be able to sing the chorus at most. The good thing with "You will Never Walk Alone" is that it is really really short. One verse, one chorus. But with this song you have to sift through alot of crap before you get to the chorus.

 

[Bombers 2003]

ANYTHING would be better then 'pride of south australia'.

 

[Markthirtytwo]

Ahhh c'mon Stiff, I reckon it's so bad it's hilarious. You could just imagine Bill "The Colonel" Sanders and Reidy looking through their record collections -"The Seekers Greatest - no, Hits of 73 - No, Slim Dusty - No, Devine - No, Mike and the Mechanics - No, Ahhh here we go Bill..., how about Rod Stewart"?

I reckon "Don't ya think I'm Sexy" would be a better choice.
