Which team has the worst song?

[BeeEmmAre]

I'd like to know why all the teams with extra verses don't actually sing them.
The Eagles, Dockers, Power and Crows don't sing their second verses but the Kangaboos do.
I also believe Geelong has a second verse but I've never heard it.
Anyone have an old Cats supporter friend that knows it?

In answer to the question - the Boos song is the worst, its a straight rip off of Victoria's State of Origin song.

Sorry, but I love Carlton?_it's the only club song one might strip to. Not that I've tried, of course.

I used to hate the Freo song, until I recently went to a football conference where they discussed the social and cultural origins of club songs. The speaker noted that the Freo song uses much nautical imagery and language, which fits with the "Docker" image.

West Coast, on the other hand, is stupid. I despise it. We sing it with gusto nonetheless.

Oh, and as for favourite club songs (other than Cheer, Cheer), I am quite fond of Richmond and I love Essendon's song. Gotta love the Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeemiership.

At the risk of being wrong...I think it may be the other way around. The Canberra Kangaroos song has been the same as long as I can remember...and that is before the VFL came up with the State of Origin concept.

Worst: yeah well everyone know Port, Freo and WC need to come up with somthing decent. Good club songs are old songs which are changed to have lyrics that are meaningful, theirs aren't.

"We're the Eagles....and we're here..............." Stirring stuff that! haha

Apart from CC, I dont mind the first (rarely heard) verse of the Roos song. Quite impressive when alot of gusto is put into.

Fav club song of all: ACT Brumbies.

favourite non swans one is probably the tigers


i think freos is the worst

but then they dont get to sing it much :P

Freo and Carlton easily. West Coast's "flying 2nd" isn't the worst song, but is hardly a footy song.

favourite non swans one is probably the tigers

Totally agree, is pretty magic to witness a packed MCG yell out "yellow and black"....can't stand it when they play us though!

LOL, yeah that's what you tend to hear more than their own club song at Subiaco.....SGIO....Go Eagles Go.....

HAHAHA i remember that little jingle now, what a corpratised club no heart, no passion no nothing (well atcually to be fair they do have runners up medals )

[Plugger46]

Port's is easily the worst I reckon.

[BonBon]

Port Adelaides, Freos and WCEs are dreadful but I like listening to them. I don't know why.

I purely hate Richmonds and St Kildas because they're boring. St Kildas is basically one line repeated over and over again!

I love Melbournes. But, my favourite all-time theme song is Brisbanes.

I dislike the Richmond song on principle - so many Tigers fans seem to think that everyone likes their's the best, even over their own club's song.

Although I strongly dislike the team, I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Bombers' song. It sounds just like a 1920s music hall ditty - priceless!

i dont mind the bombers except the word premiership sounds all wrong in it.

I think the demons song is ok and geelong!

Clarence have a good song

[S.U.D]

The Roos' song gives me bad flashbacks

If not for that, I would have said that would be one of my favs other than our own.

Worst, Freo. Was at one of their games a couple of years ago at Subi when they played the Lions. Pre-game, out comes a float that looks like a boat with sailors on it, looked like they stole it from the Mardi Gras. Most cringeworthy moment at the footy I've experienced.

[Plugger46]

Love the Richmond song.

[punter257]

yeah i like the tiges song as well especially the "yellow and black" part

i cant stand the eagles song and freo's is just a disgrace

i have a soft spot for the footscray song and i enjoyed listening to the lions when they beat collingwood in 02 and 03

Nah...for me it has to be the "BRuce Club" on Monty Python...

This is the wattle
Its the emblem of the land
You can stick it in a bottle
You can hold it in your had
AMEN
