Entry Song for Saints? AFL request

[Quixote]

They should run onto the ground with neck to knee swimsuits and bowler hats to the tune of "I do love to be beside the seaside"

Like button.

Maybe 'Your Party' by the same band. Just to add a surreal element to an already silly idea.

Maybe a different track for each round
"Mr Richard Smoker" when we play Carlton for Mick.
"Tear for eddie" - the pies
"She wanted to leave" - BJ bombers
"I'll Be Your Jonny On the Spot" - Ross - dockers
big catalogue to go through

There is a good green day song that says something like "the saints are coming"

Actually U2 featuring Greenday I think. Remember hearing it at Etihad at a U2 gig a fee years ago, great song. Starts with a kind of haunting rendition of house of the rising sun which would send goosebumps up ya before a game. I believe the song is anti American government for the debacle that occurred down South after the New Orleans hurricane. Very little to be inspired about apart from a reference to Saints in the chorus - good enough for me! haha

It was a Skids song that was rehashed as a protest against the US governments lack of action post katrina. Awesome song and would definitely get the crowd going.

Anything AC/DC would be enought to stop me going to games.
Call me old or call me anything but I go to relax at the end of the week and don't want to hear that blaring out of a cheap sound system.
Reckon it would suit for Collingwood games though

I love that youtube has the next place for people looking that s*** up as picichu on acid. Does that say something about saints fans?

Theme song to the film "The Saint" by Orbital

Vaguely remember us using it back in the bad old days under Watson when we first moved to the Docklands in 2000.

"I'm a loser, baby," - BECK (Because we historically are such losers.)
"The never ending story," - THEME (Because our misery never f****** ends.)
"Highway to Hell," - ACDC ('09: second, '10: second, '11: seventh, '12: ninth... looks like a downward trajectory (highway) to the bottom (hell) to me)

Well Wakelin is back at the club now (which one is in the video again, never could tell them apart).

[saintspremiers]

Baby Elephant Walk. Demetriou as band leader. College style big band following.

Problem is Monkey Boy had left.

Who is going to hold his salami now?!!

[saintspremiers]

How about "Don't Worry Be Happy" and all wear smiley faced t-shirts whilst on the usual drugs everyone used back in the day?

The absolute undisputed best sports anthem ever written in the history of sports anthems is "Fanfare for the Common Man," by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Check out how they rock an empty, freezing wembley stadium like a trio of power-rock-fusion demigods: The sickest part is at 3.29 when they kick into the bridge.


And for football specifically, I always thought Greg Champion's "The Thing About Football" stood head and shoulders above all the other channel 7 football themes ("I'd like to see that," which was actually "You're unbelievable;" "When the House is a' Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin;" "Holy Grail," and more.) Just look at this absolutely iconic piece of football history from the Golden Age of football and tell me it doesn't awaken memories and feelings thought lost, and that it doesn't truly encompass all the very best of the spirit of Australian Rules Football, I dare you:

If channel 7 want a song to hype up their audience before a game, this is the sort of model they should be looking at, not the cheesed-up american throw-away tripe they are dishing up. How much are they getting paid to come up with these ideas again?

[St. Hellrider]

Blues - in the navy
That's gold.
Can imagine judd and murph doing there warm up in time with the tune.

[maxdis 42]

This came up last night with a few mates whilst having a few ales...one of them came out with theme song for the pies..."all I want for Xmas is me two front teeth" ...brilliant!

[GrumpyOne]

FKN ridiculous......

We have a song.

And a bloody good one it is too.

Mate of mine suggested Jailbreak by ACDC for the filth.

[oh when the]

Let the crowd create the atmosphere

The best gf atmosphere was when the reserves finished
And the noise of the crowd kept building till the teams ran out
Now we get amplified rubbish

[Con Gorozidis]

So when the umpires come out they'll play " send in the clowns !"

Bulldogs " who let the dogs out "
Swans " Horse with no name "
Suns "windmills of your mind "
Gws " the nosebleed section "
Port " Your beautiful "
Blues " in the navy "
demons " the only way is up "
Pies " gansta's paradise "
Crows " achy breaky heart "
Hawks " shud uppa ya face "
Cats " whats new pussycat "
Bombers " you spin me round "
Brisbane " the lion sleeps tonight "
Wc " cocaine "
tigers " don't worry be happy "
north "walk like an egyptian "
Freo " stuck with you "


And of course the mighty Saints can come out to " don't dream it's over "
or maybe " blame it on the rain "

Abstract. Some of em I dont get.
But great job!

For Carlton it'd have to be "What Deaner Was Talkin' About", in honour of Lawrence Angwin:

"The sun's come up and I'm all washed out/ Is this what Deaner was talking about/ I don't think I'll ever return again my friend"

Check out how they rock an empty, freezing wembley stadium like a trio of power-rock-fusion demigods: The sickest part is at 3.29 when they kick into the bridge.

For starters it was written by Aaron Copland in 1942 and the clip you linked to is at the uncompleted Montreal Olympic Stadium in 1976. Great anthem, but get it right, don't make it up!

[Sainternist]

Alhough I'm opposed to this entry song idea, this theme before a game would help sharpen them up and make them ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence
