When they say ‘club song’ do they just mean it was a song made in conjunction with the club? Surely that’s not the theme song that the players run out to and sing after a win. It’s an actual song.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

 

[rangatangtang]

I'm calling it now, West Coast will not make the 8 if they sing this

 

[giggler99]

Typical modern junk! Just like 98% of crap that's on the radio these days! Far to mallow as a footy song!
Nice try but a waste imho, The old song will be back before you know it!

Whats wrong with just using Eagle Rock?

 

[PT Bar None]

And what's with Birds of Tokyo's overly aspirational wanky name? It's borderline unAustralian.

Maybe if they named themselves something like "Birds of Dubbo" we'd get a decent song out of them!


Erm, perhaps not

Mallow can be bad arse

Not a lot of depth in the WCE marketing department it seems.

Unfortunately most of their tiny bopper eagle fans will lap it up and think its great.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

In light of their success since joining the comp in 1987 and having an avian mascot, surely one of the verses has to have Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner in it.

Birds of Tittybong?

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

As I've said on socials if you're going to revamp a song why employ the Australian equivalent of Nickelback to do it? I mean didn't they learn from about 8 years ago when their cross town rival had a vote to revamp their song, and cutting out 90 seconds of Freo Heave Ho's was preferable to a Bird's of Tokyo number?

 

[FrustratedTiger]

It's certainly not a Big Big Sound from the west of the town

 

[Heaps of fun]

Embarrassing.

Don't mind it, the didgeridoo at the start sets a good atmosphere for the rest of the song. The chorus hasn't actually changed tune so the players can still sing it the same way when they win.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Call me old school, but fu** this s**t, stick with the song we won our first flag with, i know i'm a dinosaur with my theory, but you have to keep some traditions.

This is all about cash and another way make money of the fans, guarantee the CD will be on the shelves at the club store as i type this.

For years they took the best of us and claimed them for their own is a little hard to push these days seeing as our last premiership captain is from SA, the one before that is from Vic, and our next in Shuey is also Vic.

 

[boombastinac]

I don't mind it. I heard a bit of this on the news tonight.

[Fabab]

Haha brutal.

 

[Kapow!!!]

How hard is it for football clubs to just find a random, catchy song from the early 1900s and change the lyrics?

I personally am looking forward to Gold Coast revamping their theme to the tune of "Old Man River"

Don't mind it, the didgeridoo at the start sets a good atmosphere for the rest of the song. The chorus hasn't actually changed tune so the players can still sing it the same way when they win.

What about the first verse though? They could have just started with the Didgeridoo and then the chorus. If the players are going to just sing it the same way then why do they even bother?

How much $$$ did they spend on that just so they could use it as a tourist commercial?

The chorus was the only good part of the old West Coast song, it was the verse's that needed a revamp.

And have you seen WC's figures? Their cash is off the charts, why not spend it on updating a song that no one really likes anyway?

I’ve never understood the hype, extremely overrated.

They’re dreadful, mate. Biggest sellouts. They dropped some good songs at the turn of the decade but then started writing trash pop that the radio will gladly play all day purely because they’re Australian. And now they’re writing gospel crap.

 

[amazingjoshy]

I like it

Should have just taped two cats *******.
