Updated Club Song

[Ishmael_]

I like the first bit with the percussion and the didgeridoo, it gets me kind of excited but the rest sucks.

It's stuck in no-mans land neither a show-tune like the rest of the songs nor a slow, singalong like a European football team.

Completely this. It's in no man's land.

 

[Billy ray]

Funny that the team when they sing it still use the old version in terms of the musicality. Eg the old version of kings of the big game

 

[ChampRevesby]

Dont like any part of the new song. I would like an old style footy song like everyone else in the league.

When I first heard the first 5 seconds with the didgeridoo and the sticks I got so excited we had a new take on a footy song. A bit like Yothu Yindu doing a new footy song aka GWS. I could get behind a new song like this.

I’m bitterly disappointed every time I hear the song.

 

[Rowan18]

Well I think we can all agree that Birds of Tokyo suck. How about this instead?

That has the same problem as the new version. Both are alright songs to listen to but are no good to chant after a big win. Could you imagine a crowd trying to sing this?

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

The Ocre jumper of the late 90’s was one that we would never win a premiership with.

Current song -ditto.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

The song sucks, it’s the musical version of whacking someone with a wet lettuce leaf...

 

[ChampRevesby]

So we have changed the song twice now (correct me if im wrong)? Has any club changed theirs at all?
Given all the changes to the heritage parts of the club it seems as if it is confused as to its symbolic identity/legacy.
I do envy the clubs like Collingwood, Richmond et al who are very sure who they are.

 

[whatis]

This was the real cause of all our problems. Started with the chant. Less words, less singing, more winning is what we need back. If members could complain loudly enough on their end-of-season survey to get the old song returned I'd consider this year a success. Half serious.

Thank god our last flag was before we changed the song. Imagine the adrenaline, the tension of the last few minutes of that game - and then this abomination of a song. Change it before our next flag plz

 

[Cuzz09]

We clearly have upset the footy gods woth this garbage song.

Get a decent one back and we'll contend again.

The missus laughs when I’m playing X Box and the Eagles song starts playing on Evo 2. I legit have to mute the TV and spam the buttons until I’m back at the main menu.

It’s so bad, and what fool at the club signed off on it?

 

[greatwhiteshark]

We did a great job getting our jumper back so how about getting our club song back to what it was, it might be a bit corny but its our song. This new version is a disgrace and embaressing.

What can we do about it?

Fold the club.

 

[Agent93]

What can we do about it?

The club is likely pretty chuffed they got a big Aussie band to record the team song, especially since Eskimo Joe have been sniffing around the Freo club song for the last decade.

So we need to provide overwhelming evidence that a big name artist doesn't necessarily make it a good club song. And that means getting numbers that actually care that the song is s**t.

For all I know we could be in the internet echo chamber, and the 'real' majority of Eagles fans don't actually give a s**t.

 

[Ok Boomer]

The song is just as bad as it was a year ago. It is completely deflating to listen to after a win.

I think that the song was hidden to a degree by COVID last year so I hope that we can get some of the casuals to kick up a stink about it in 2021. This song and the Ochre jumper deserve to live together in infamy.

 

[Biggie]

That song is horseshit. I hate it.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

We need to get a petition going or something, I don't think it can wait til the end of the season. I don't think it's a coincidence we couldn't win a final last year.

 

[Falco]

Terrible song - lets go back to the 2018 Premiership edition.

 

[darksquare]

It is by a huge margin the worst club song I have ever heard. I mute it every time we win. Surely people at the club must feel the same?

 

[TY24]

Yeah nah, I tried to like it. I really did.

Can’t do it.

The new song is growing on me

If you can't sing it as well drunk as sober, it's not a good footy song.

The other rule for footy songs comes from the rule for a good national anthem: it has to be able to be sung by people who aren't good singers. This is why our anthem sucks, you have to be a professional to make a good fist of it.
