Club History Old Port Adelaide song

[SgtSchulz]

Stumbled across this on Youtube.

Never heard it before.

Not sure when Bob McLean changed the song to "Cheer Cheer" but this was at least in use as early as 1921.

 

[Pappagallo]

No wonder they changed it.

Sounds like it was sung by Eric Idle after a few.

[Grave Danger]

Channel 7 would never allow it.

 

[SgtSchulz]

This was the tune to a club song in 1882. Not sure how much it was used beyond a tribute to retiring player Thomas Smith.

Yikes.

 

[Pappagallo]

Yikes.

We all pressed play hoping for a rousing anthem in the vein of Yellow and Black but instead were affronted by a 1950s advertising jingle.

In Dynasty, it has the words to a song Fos wrote to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Not sure how often that was sung.

That's exactly what I was waiting for, "McCarthy's Asbestos Butter, only available at Harrington's Fermenters, 104 Commercial Road etc"

This would fit in with the "we just need to work harder" mantra. "Work, boys, work and be contented."

 

[Rising Power]

lol I like the straggling "mehpies" at the end

 

[PatientMental]

was it recorded on a can?

 

[Portmagpies36]

No wonder Bob McLean pinched the South Melbourne song !

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

I listened to that until the very end. 2 minutes of my life was robbed right in front of me !!

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

[shewho]

The mythical 'convict stole a loaf of tiptop hifibe and copped a stretch in van dieman's land' finally has company in the COMPLETELY justified theft stakes.

It’s the tune for we’re off to Wembley

We all follow Port Adelaide United, were all off to the MCG ,
And we’ll really shake them up when we win the premiership cup,
Because Port Adelaide are the greatest football team!


I do not in anyway endorse the following song.

The best tradition ever, so sad it doesn’t happen anymore. Anfield rap made people too sad and it eventually died out.
