Club Songs - AFL changing

[Bornadog]

The morons at AFL have decided in their wisdom to re-record the club songs.

Haven't heard the Bulldogs one, but the Collingwood and Essendon ones sound similar.

Doesn't sound much different.

I'm maybe a bit americanised but I prefer intro music than the club songs. I remember seeing an awesome intro from Melbourne a couple of years back, "Hells Bells' started as they came on the ground and they quickly cut it off and played their 150 year old club song. I think Richmond do something similar with "Welcome to the jungle"

If the home team wins the song gets played, if they lose it's silence and just have the local MC over the speaker telling the people there the results and such. Like banners, I think it's an old tradition that can be scraped.

Gilligan all over the big issues as per usual.

I can only assume they don't want to pay performance royalties to the Fable Singers, otherwise why the hell would they bother?

There was some character in those old versions of the song.

The banjo riff in the middle of Sydney's song is one of my favourite parts of any club song.

AFL clarifies decision to re-record club songs


THE AFL has clarified the decision to re-record the majority of club theme songs, with the League placing an emphasis on improving the sound quality of songs following an approach from clubs.

The new songs provide similar recordings to the existing versions, with slight changes to some lyrics and musical soundtracks.

AFL general manager of clubs Travis Auld said all clubs were offered the opportunity to alter their songs.

Fremantle, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney's club songs were not re-recorded.

"The AFL was approached by a number of clubs to provide minor updates to their songs," Auld said in a statement to SEN.

"In doing so, we offered all the clubs the ability to have a new recording, to offer stronger digital sound quality. A number of the club songs are old recordings of diminishing quality. Minor lyric changes were only made following requests from respective football clubs."

As detailed by AFL.com.au in February, Richmond was among the clubs to provide an update to the lyrics of its song, after the club identified part of the song was incorrect and changed its "risking head and skin" line to "risking head and shin".

The new recordings will be played at AFL stadiums this season.

Great idea. Improve the quality, destroy any soul or character the song may have possessed then play the song over a tinny PA system while the teams are running out and everybody is yelling at he top of their voices. Or play one version after the game. While everybody sings along. At the top of their voice.

Re: Club Songs - AFL changing

They all sound sterile, as if sung by an AFL endorsed Siri. The words are sung far too ‘proper’ or ‘prudish’ as if proper pronunciation was the order of the day. Like removing ‘We’ll’ with ‘We’ or ‘Snarlin’ replaced with ‘Snarling’.

Also in our grand song, the word ‘Sons’ sounds like it’s been sung with a strong lisp.

Gee this mob know how to remove any uniqueness and character from our game.
