Awful. Preferred Eskimo Joe's effort TBH.

 

[Bad Brain]

God help me but I like it. But I've always wanted a sea shanty for our song.

And Captain Feathersword as the new mascot? No thanks.

Now that you mention it, I nominated this friendly fellow to be our new mascot on the main board...

 

[imperial_oz]

Thats a clear vote of No from me.

He's a fantastic fella Champs, with a wonderful sense of humour! Very catchy, and it is likeable, but don't think our theme song would ever be to the tune of " What should we do with the drunkin sailor"!
Like I say, Champs has a wonderful sense of humour!

All hail the Freo Eldergods!

Inside word Seppo is currently working on a bigfooty Freo song.

Bookmarked for updates.

I've always wanted this tune as our club song

Big improvement on our current "song" but that's not saying much.

 

[FreoGirl]

Our current song is crap but it's ours

this new one does nothing for me...sounds like a kiddy song

 

[sansian]

I don't actually mind it.......not sure on some of the wording though

 

[holy diver]

I vote for this to be our mascot when we play Geelong.

 

[Freo Hitman]

Absolutely nothing wrong with this . I rate this far better to what we got .
And i dont want to hear any bullshit about eskimo joe they are shit

Wow that was brilliant, imagine a stadium bellowing out a Drunken Sailor tune. It'd be Freo all over it. Plus tbh, this sort of tune is hundreds of years old. It'd be neat rather than our current well... 'Song'.

Didn't stop be humming it all day last year, but still love this version more.

Yep, very rowdy song and would be great fun belting it out followed by TNT.

I don't understand why everyone else seems to take it upon themselves to "fix" our team song.

Someone's actually beaten Greg Champion to it, using the sea chantey tune of "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?" for the music for a Freo song. I'll post a link to it later. That tune is a staple for Major League Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates, whose organists at home games have played it for years between pitches to the home team's hitters, to get the fans rhythmically clapping.

Here's the song two other Freo fans recorded, set to "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor?":

I like this, and much prefer the Eskimo Joe song over our current song BUT please let it rest!!!
