Our theme song

[tugga]

best in the comp, even opposition supporters say so.
but the version that's played at games says "risking head and skin" when the correct verson is "risking head and SHIN".
RFC_Official no doubt the club is aware of this, but can anything be done? it pisses me off. Our song is sacrosanct.

The boys sang 'shin' last night it was loud and clear, along with those awesome mocking boos.

The players always get it right. it's the ground PA version that's wrong.

waddaya wanna do ? re record it?

just leave it i think its a nice little story

 

[TigerTime3]

Don't have to re-record it.

Simply send it to a studio and get them to edit the vocals.

It's pretty easy to make a "sk" become "sh" if you know what you're doing.

What kind of sorcery would this require ?

Just need the original vocal tracks, in any form.

You can do all kinds of things in the studio. For example, a de-esser makes you sound like you've got a lisp by removing the 's' sounds from your speech.

The Remastered Richmond song.

At worst, it's a split second... you could probably record a 'sh' and use professional mixing techniques to blend it into the original recording so it sounds like they originally said 'shin'.

But, but Zayne is no longer there. This can't happen.

Can get Newy to sing in his place

It could be worse. My 13 year old son thought it was 'we never weep until the final sirens gone'.


Sent from my brain using ESP.

 

[fumbler]

I think it's magical that we get to play the song at all the out of state grounds but never at the MCG........

I reckon Ween would do an interesting version.

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Sometimes I drive around blasting the theme song.. get some weird looks but it is worth it.. what a song1

We've been through this before. Deja vu much?
You are wrong of course. "Skin" is correct, regardless of what the players sing.
"Skin" makes more sense. The old phrase is to "risk your skin". Whoever heard of risking your shin? Doesn't make sense.
And "skin" makes a lot more sense in the context of a tiger skin (there is a tiger skin at the club at Punt Road actually). A tiger may risk its skin but (Chinese medicine notwithstanding) I've never heard of a tiger risking its shin. Ever.
Ultimately the original Fable Singers version of Tigerland is likely older than any of the the current players. I suspect it is older than you.
Leave it alone.
Or better still stay true to the original and sing skin like many other older Richmond supporters.

I despair of young people. That would be beyond sh!t.

Show me proof that skin is correct.
And don't tell me to leave it alone like some ****ing school teacher.

Only a delorean and a flux capacitor

The delorean can fix that too

Is that Billy Zane we're talkin about ?

Turn your sarcasm meter on old boy.
