The West Coast Eagles are changing their team song

[Chadwiko]

Fox are reporting that the West Coast Eagles are changing their team song, and that 'Birds of Tokyo' have helped develop the new tune.



We'll wait to see how it sounds, but it's not often that an AFL team officially changes their song.

What makes a good footy team song these days?

And here it is:

I liked their song, I always enjoyed that you found out who the team was early in the song and then they reiterate again who they are directly after. Hopefully the new song isn't confusing.

 

[Proper Gander]

I hate their current song but it was sort of hilarious so I’ll miss that.

I’m in a mood to be outraged though so I’m going to work towards a meltdown about this issue.

It sounds too much like a regular song, rather than a theme song

 

[Underarm]

When you include indigenous musicians, why is everyone else so white?

 

[Underarm]

Also, needs more Vicco Bias.

This is a joke right?

Is this some New Coke vs Coke Classic gag?

 

[The Goon]

Hope they're not serious. Best bit about the Eagles song was the chorus ... and they've made it worse.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

surely this cant be their real theme???

 

[Milanista28]

What will the players sing?

 

[adammania9]

Are Birds of Tokyo the worst Australian band to ever hit the airway? I think yes. They’re horrid.

 

[Quivorir]

Somehow they have managed to make the laughably bad "we're the eagles" bit the best bit of the song...

 

[DamoESP]

Hahaha it's terrible.

 

[Tony Harrison]

The crescendo toward saying 'big game' and in the higher pitch in the original is much better than what they changed it to.

 

[Golden_6]

Good luck to the players trying to sing that after the game. The Eagles will now need to draft players not on their footballing ability, but their ability to hold their pitch.

 

[Coach_Required]

Talk about trying way too hard.

Seriously WTF

 

[Roobs321]

Boycott. I refuse to ever sing those verses.

 

[Ok Boomer]

It sucks, it really sucks they have somehow made our song much worse lmfao

Sounds nothing like a good AFL club song should.

It sucks, it really sucks they have someone made our song much worse lmfao

How are they going to sing that after a win?

I bet you don't.

Just some PR bullshit IMO

I'm calling it now. The players will protest and sing the old song after games this year. Then in about a years time they'll announce they're moving back to the old song

Apparently the players are going to sing what they already are.

Typical Trevor Nisbett move with his pointless changing of things that none of us want changing. Obviously too much time has passed since the Ochre debacle which was mainly his doing.

I’ve never understood the hype, extremely overrated.
