All are underwhelming for me..
Eskimo Joe's, my god please dont win, its (almost) as bad as west coasts.

Song 2 has potential, lyrics just are a bit lame.

Song 3 wish they will kill the guitar, sounds corny.

:s

Hard to tell from those samples. They should have the players all kitted up, linking arms, singing it with gusto and plenty of Powerade flying around.

Until then I don't know.

Really like the Eskimo Joe one. I'll be happy with that or the Roar for Freo song, both say more for what the club and its fans actually are than the original.

I can really see the boys getting into the Eskimo Joe song, just has that feel about it.

"and as the cup goes up"


Definitely something our song has been missing... Also like the purple and white bit :)

Wait till the anti-steves get here and complain that there's no reference to green and red...

I tell you what, this is so like the Steve's for rigging the vote by making the new song better. They aren't fooling anyone y'know.

In my head the Eskimo Joe song sounds good sung in this style. I can imagine a full subi oval singing it too. I don't get the same feeling from the Rosco Elliot song.

Having said that, my gut feeling is that either the original or the reworked will get up. It's hard to effect change and those who are opposed to the change will undoubtedly vote pref 1 & 2 to those songs making it very difficult to change the song. The voting system is definitely skewed towards retaining the current song.

This is a bit of gold :thumbsu:

Anyone know what the winning song has to achieve vote wise? Is it just a matter of what song gets the most votes win? Will be very hard to beat the original just because the likes of dockerland will run a campaign where nothing ever changes.

The members poll carries an inherent bias.

Those that favour the original song are likely to split (to some extent at least) their votes across Songs 3 and 4.

A better way to structure a poll such as this would have been to have two stages of voting

Stage 1: Do you want a new song?
Stage 2 (if necessary): Which new song would you like?

This is a clever strategy (and is the same reason we are not a Republic). Also very clever to offer two "new" songs (one of which is far superior to the other).

I expect the result will be something like:

Eskimo Joe: 40%
Other new song: 5%
Old versions: 55% between them, but neither more than 40%

I need to hear players singing it.

I like the new version of existing and the Eskimo Joe song at this stage.

This will only be a good thing, it will spite the vote of the steve haters.

Before I heard them, my presumption was that I would vote for a reworked version of the current song.

Pleasantly suprised I dont mind the new offerings... prefer Eskimo Joe's at this stage but will give them a few more listens before I vote here.

Eskimo Joe song has way too big a musical interlude. They would sing a verse then stop for 30 seconds. Needs to be rearranged. But it's growing on me.

As we all know, most people don't like change. It's going to be hard for a new song to win. I like how the club has split the originalists by providing them with 2 options.

The military sounding one also would need to be re-arranged but i don't find it as catching as the Eskimo Joe Song. Though the poor guy writing it claims a selling point as the 'Freo' chant which is all through the Eskimo Joe Version. Tough angle to try to sell it from.

Eskimo Joe song is the catchiest the more you listen to it :thumbsu:

I prefer the reworked version over the old one as well.

Meh to the other one
