The version last night was dodgy, though not as bad as the late 80s and early 90s and they kept playing "Up there for Sydney".

Hey, that was at least singable. It was "Show Em Sydney" & "Kick on you Sydney Swans" that were particularly cringeworthy, even if the latter was actually kinda boppy & camp , but in a cultish "Agadoo do do do, push pineapples, shake the tree" kind of way.

There's a couple of different versions that I know of. When I started going to games in 1997, they had a version that was pretty close, but was a little more synth-ish. If you have a singing teddy bear, it probably plays that one (our one does). Then a few seasons later, we changed to the current banjo version (which sounds like a slightly remastered, redubbed south version). That's my current preference.

There is one that was on the "Swans Songs" CD released around 98/99. THAT one is rank.

Your right Des, there are a couple of versions of the song floating around.

The one they played on Saturday night is the synthersied down beat version, which sounds awful.

Not too sure if it is Telstra Dome or whether Essendon as the home team gets a look in to which version they play.

Definately worth an e-mail to the Melbourne office to ask them to follow up with Telstra Dome before next weeks game.

On the back of the fixture card, the lyrics now read: "whether the odds be great or small"

It's what though, damn it!!!

I've always wondered about "What though". Is that proper English, or is it from the same gene pool as "girth by sea" ?

Don't change a thing. The song has stood the test of time . If it ain't broke don't fix it

Lyrics to songs don't necessarily have to be grammatically correct do they?

BTW it's "girt by sea" as in surrounded.
