At least our one is nearly unchanged, unlike some of the other clubs. But really, why was this done?

Why?

AFL asked everyone to update their songs....

Is it actually different?

It sounds identical Typical Essendon

Why?

Why roast tag? It's exactly the same.

Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Disliked the Richmond and Collingwood ones I heard this afternoon. I feel like this one still sticks to the key bits of the traditional recording, except the banjo is more prominent. I'm fine with this.

Because the singers sound different. And the whole concept of changing the song is just stupid.

Ever so slightly. It could have been a lot worse.

Lucky for you there's something to pick on hey?

More banjo is good banjo.

 

[LB#16]

Banjo is life.

What's the difference between a banjo and a trampoline?

You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.

Meh. I think re-recording it is probably reasonable, perhaps some of the other songs sound like garbage over a loud speaker and needed to be re-recorded anyway (not that that would necessarily fix the problem )

I can barely pick the difference, it is slightly more twangy perhaps but it's the same song, no new words or different instruments, or god forbid autotune. For me it's a 'who cares' kinda moment

 

[Beerfish]

or god forbid autotune

Holy s**t that would be hilarious.

The banjo can sound great.
Like the sound it makes when you throw it in the bin, and it lands on bagpipes.

I'll get around to listening to it later on but in the meantime I'm outraged none the less.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

The head is sacrosanct.

So are the Fable Singers.

 

[eDPS]

Did somebody say banjo?

 

[westking]

I’m so outraged I refuse to listen to it!!!

Nah not really just can’t be bothered. But I’m interested to know..did they get the lyrics right this time? The ‘other clubs they don’t fear’ bit. The other clubs and supporters do fear. They fear us a lot.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

holy crap I was outraged when I read the OP. But, having listened to it, they've done a brilliant job. And by "brilliant job" I mean they've pretty much replicated exactly, so well done. Thank crap for that. Even the harmonies in the singing have been replicated beautifully. My only real criticism is that the little bit at the end of the interval and just leading into the second verse is now horns instead of banjo, but given that they've emphasised and amplified the banjo track through the rest of the song I can happily forgive that, as the horns sound pretty good too.

Thank god they kept the harmonies. And "preeeemiership". That would have ruined my day big time if they'd modernised it too much or some s**t

 

[ghost_bomber]

Relieved they still say 'preeemiership'.

Phew!

 

[TheFrenchCut]

My one regret is that if we had to bother changing the song, we didn't just go with Cher's 'Believe'.

 

[quotemokc]

Fix the weird high notes of "fame" and I don't mind it.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I would change "as the bombers fly up" to "see the bombers fly up"

 

[jmoo wan]

meh, needs more augmented sevenths.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Where’s the 1999 (?) version that lasted one week?

That’s what I was hoping for.

 

[hurlygurdy]

Awesome... Really similar but just not quite as good. FMD
