The Worst Club Song Ever...can we all agree ?

[ptw]

Here we go, here we go, camry crows.....
Here we go Camry crows, here we go.
We'll be there in the square in the nose (?)
working hard 'till the siren goes.
We're the new boys with so much to show,
bringing greetings from ever loving Adelaide.
Gonna tread on a few people's toes,
cause here we go, here we go, camry crows.

Oh What a Feeling,
Camry Crows.

--------------------------

I am trying to find a football topic on which the whole of bigfooty can agree.

Does that song not sum up all that is wrong with modern football ?

I still reckon it's better than Freo's.

Based on the Dan24 voting system, I will take anything greater than 30% to be unanimous.

It's so corny and stupid, I actually liked it - rather hear that over "Pride of SA".
Reckon it's better than both Freo's and Port's current tacky numbers.

 

[ptw]

you've got to be joking Darky....a club song with a sponsor's name in it ???

I used to be at FP and everyone would sing "Oh What a Feeling" as if it was a bloody commercial !

still....each to their own I guess.

Still in the running for that 30% !

So I'm a shit because I don't like your club song?

Grow up.

Two equal worst club songs:

Fremantles song - it sounds like Hitlers march "Freo heave ho, freo heave ho"
and it goes for bloody 10 minutes as well

Glenelgs old song where it said "we are g.a.y" in it. "a tiget for me, a tiger for me, if your not a tiger, your no good for me"

that was a shocker

We'll be there in the square NOSE TO NOSE

but yeah the original Crows song was crappy compared to the newer one. At least they changed it.

I think the mis-read lyrics were caused by Footy Park's old scoreboard. The whole line didn't fit on one row so it did look like:

We'll be in the square nose
to nose

It took me a second look cos I had NFI what a 'square nose' was.

Crow, what a feeling!!!

Yeah, that's the worst ever. The original club song of the Camry Crows.

Actually, I remember when the club was first formed and the Adelaide media was actually referring to them as the Camry Crows, as if that was their name. After a while I think they realised that it was only the sponsor's wishful thinking.

But it's a scary thought. Especially as clubs gradually distance themselves from the old suburban names. Footscray gone. North Melbourne gone.

And you've gotta ask yourself, WHAT do clubs represent these days. Certainly not the suburbs they were named after. Certainly not their supporters because they don't give a rat's about them.

So WHO or WHAT do our footy clubs represent these days?

This might sound a bit off the topic ... but really, that Camry Crows song was telling us something about where our game was going at the time. And it's still going that way now ... but even more so.

We're a Samsung team at Hawthorn.

 

[TigerTank]

The Port song is crap, but you've got me ptw.

Yes that Crows song is the worst ever.


PS: I kinda like the Freo one.

What was so bad about the Adelaide Crows original song? I think it is good, there is nothing wrong with it ...it is just like all the other footy club songs.

Except that it was a car ad.

 

[Macca19]

Its basically a car commercial with 'Crows' put in it somewhere.

Actually the ORIGINAL crows song was great. Not the Pride of South Australia, not he Toyota Commercial, but there was one before all of them.
I dont think many people have heard it before...but i own a video "1991 - something to crow about" about the crows first season. At the start while they are talking about how the club formed and wahtever, there is a song in the background and the chorus goes:
"We're the crows, we're gonna getcha
We're the crows, we're going thru
We're the crows, we're south australian
We're the crows, and we're coming to get you, coming to get you, coming to get you"

Its basically a rock song, but its better than all theo thers theyve had

 

[RacerX]

Naaahh, your having me on - theres no way that could be the crows tune! Surely they have more taste than that.

 

[Jars458]

Yes our song was a bloody embarassment

We havn't had to sing the new one too often in the last three years.

Things are changing however.

With Jars in sublime form the Crows will be hard to beat from now on.

 

[Catman]

Freo's would have to be the worst by far. So uninspiring.
