General Bombers Talk New song for 2018 - Sticking with the old one anyway - 19/3

[LB#16]

Relieved they still say 'preeemiership'.

Phew!

There are people on Facebook who are triggered by this and think outright that this pronunciation is a new thing. Astonishing.

 

[nonamehack]

I can see why they updated it from the 1929 version. The quality of the recording was a bit dated.

 

[Beerfish]

meh, needs more augmented sevenths.

But seriously, what doesn't need more augmented sevenths mirite?

 

[Don Won]

I am relieved, I had expected....


See the bombers fly up up
To win or get really close

Our gender non specific people who play this grand old game.
Are always striving for KPIs and fame.

See the bombers fly up up
The other teams we all cheer

They all try their best
Which is what’s the best.

As the bombers fly up.

 

[TheBrightSide]

With the old version, it sounded like a bunch of fat blokes were singing.
These new guys sound too skinny.

 

[yodellinhank]

They've got the mix all wrong, you can't do club songs in dobly.

 

[JayJ20]

I've always hated the banjo and now they amplify it.

 

[eth-dog]

I don't care. We have a s**t song anyway

I vote this one.

And it sounds like f***ing barbershop.

 

[Koopa]

Did somebody say banjo?

Guh-huh!

Ours has lost a bit heart and "oomph" with the tone but maybe that's down to the quality Not that bad, at least we didn't get another few verses added like Geelong....

 

[Jobe Watson]

"to win the preeeemiership flag ..."

 

[LB#16]

I don't care. We have a s**t song anyway

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

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.

It's still missing something I think...

 

[windyhill]

Look, our song is daggy , but * me, it's like an old friend. Hands off d/heads.

 

[jmoo wan]

it’s an improvement for sure. cannot believe how scared some people are of change - calling the originals “sacred”. please.

It is abhorrent and offensive. I will be writing a strongly worded letter to the club to voice my distress.

 

[DERO]

Why couldn't we get the guy from the Cat Empire at least?

 

[DERO]

This ******* club.

 

[ghostdog]

Is the brass section actually a brass section though? It feels/sounds like it's synthesised.

Work out what happened to real music, is what I'd like to ask. Everything is all machine, run with MIDI and A-DAT. But all they do is go ping-ping-ping, like a truck that's backing back.

Pure magic, we need a Tom Waits version.

i can’t believe you’d think like this.


is this our first fight?

 

[windyhill]

Showing my age, but anyways.....
We're the boys from Essendon , we wear the red and black
We're famous for our courage, we'll never turn our back
We'll be there in September, in the premiership we will play,
Cos we're called The Bombers, the greatest team of all.
Pretty sure that was Kevin Egans attempt at a new song, so don't have a crack at me.

 

[quotemokc]

"greatest team of all" is too Geelongy
