An extra smile from Sunday

[Wardy]

any club song for a team that cam into the comp after 1985 has a crap club song - I mean Freo's is god awful!

[Vivien]

Lol! Yes, but then again all the tunes are pretty bad, really! The cheese factor is so high!

You just haven't been paying attention - that is the version they've been playing over the PA for a good few years now. Almost every time its played when Des, Jay, myself and some others are together, we play air banjo along with it!

I recently invested in the sheet music for CC - it's pretty good. Only problem was it came in a book with the 15 other club songs, so now I am burdened with the reputation of owning a peice of Collingwood merchandise

Also, does anyone else reckon the Weagles tune sounds like a Wiggles song?

Have heard the banjo instrumental quite a few times. I think its the version they tend to play when they have some time to kill.

The Wiggles club song sucks. Its almost as bad as Freo's, which I think is the worse club song in the AFL. Those Sandgropers have no musical taste.

Nice - nothing like grown men playing air banjo in public!

Don't think it has anything to do with time to kill - its the standard version that has the words played twice with the instrumental in between.

Where did u get it, Vivien?? I've been looking for the sheet music for it, for a while.

[Wardy]

I tried to sing "We love you Barry because you've got no hair"
but sadly my singing sounds like someone standing on a cat!

I must say though, that with that banjo in there, it makes it sound like it could be the club song for the Hicksville Rednecks.

There must be two versions. Cos there's definitely a brass band one as well.

I have actually never noticed it myself, until the Dees game, a couple of weeks ago. I have read on here many times about it, but never paid attention. I just laughed and shook my head in dismay!!

Got mine from Allen's music on Pitt St. They had quite a few copies when I was last there
