    Keeping with the Queen theme maybe after every win we play "Another one bites the dust"

      If we have to though, why not buck the trend and go with Swan Lake? Or Swanee?
      They did Swanee right thru the 90's people got tired of it after a bit, but I still liked it. Used to have bands and all b4 games, no one cared, it more like get on with the footy

        Absolutely right. I HATE the californication of our game. Go back to your bloody board room and stay there.

            I'll admit I've always believed the club song to be a victory song and should only be sung in response to a win. It's why I liked Up there for Sydney when it used to be played as we ran on.
            I am superstitious and won't sing it before or during the game.

            One night I made an exception, when Schneider kicked his 3rd goal of the last qrtr of the 05 PF. I got a bit carried away and joined in with 5 minutes to go.

              The prior to the GF thing really drove me crazy. I really hate this

              If you are going to do something why not pick a TV them song no strings attached from the thunderbirds, or the spiderman theme song

                Dumb idea. Essendon had an air raid siren going just before and when their team ran onto the ground in Melbourne in 2012. Corny stuff to say the least.

                    I'm not sure we really need an entrance song, seems bizarre that the AFL would borrow an idea from professional wrestling of all places! If it ain't broke...

                    If we have to have one, may as well make it Up There For Sydney, at least it's part of our history. It won't replace Cheer Cheer, and seems the logical choice.

                        I get why, I don't mind it. Club song for entrances and wins, rev up songs at the beginning of each quarter, Up There For Sydney at the 3/4 break. I guess it's about making new traditions. I am sure they won't replace the club songs.

                          Careful Jono, that sentence is one auto correct away from going horribly wrong.

                              A mash-up with Charlene's 'I've Never Been to Me' would work quite well.
                              It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

                                Yes, I am firmly in this camp. It's abhorrent that football is seen purely as entertainment. Rose Tattoo? Queen? Seriously? I suppose I can always listen to my ipod until the game starts.

                                And Tony Armstrong Primmy, please elaborate. Esoteric used in the pejorative? He actually sounds to me like he could be an interesting fellow. Adventurous even.
