I'm not sure if I prefer this version but it is good.

Sudney thunder cricket team already use it

Doesn't mean we can't use it as well. United we stand etc.
I don't particularly like this song but that is beside the point (showing my age?)

Off topic a little but what is the point of Sweet Caroline?

[Untamed Snark]

I quite like the music they're playing for the countdown pre game (the Rubens I think?)

[RogueSwan]

I love this as an amp-up Dirty Hearts by Dallas Crane Nothing to do with the Swans but it makes me feel good.
Also Rusty Cage fires me up, but in a more aggressive way.
This Macklemore song is great to exercise (what's that?) too

All have nothing to do with the Sydney Swans but you could convince yourself "Can't Hold Us" can have a footy angle.

[Conor_Dillon]

The Kanye song they played in the lead up to our boys running out onto the field before Round 1 really seemed to get the crowd pumped up!

[gumby_bolts]

Slightly off-topic but has anyone seen a copy of the countdown vid they play on the scoreboard before the first bounce? Always gets me pumped up.

Since I have something of an African music obsession, my choice would be, Victory, by the veteran Ghanaian musician, Ebo Taylor. So funky, so inspired.

Black Skinhead. I don't particularly like the whole song, but totally agree that 30 sec start of the song which is the part they play at the SCG is a great pump up...

Yeah..what IS the point of Sweet Caroline? I know the Boston Red Sox use it but Diamond is a big fan and close to the club.

[CureTheSane]

Yeah I like Sweet Caroline, but it has nothing to do with being inspirational other than a nice sing along.

I'd rotate songs, for a bit for fun. Need songs that everyone knows.

Up There With Sydney
Up There Cazaly
Boys Will Be Boys - Choirboys
Pressure - Billy Joel
Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi
Heroes - David Bowie
No Second Prize - Jimmy Barnes
I Love It Loud by Kiss would be awesome because it has the same kind of beat as We Will Rock You, as well as an easy to sing along bit.
Likewise, Radio Ga Ga by Queen would sound amazing with everyone clapping along.
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Let Me Entertain You - Robbie Williams
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister (if we're down at half times etc)

[Industrial Fan]

Yeah..what IS the point of Sweet Caroline? I know the Boston Red Sox use it but Diamond is a big fan and close to the club.

completely cringeworthy. Wish they'd stop playing it.

Thanks for asking that Yvonne!
I travelled up from Melbourne for the Goodesy farewell on Saturday and was bemused by the use of Sweet Caroline. Don't get me wrong - I'm old enough to remember and like the song but can't see how it fits in at a Swans game.
One season in the 80s, Collingwood would enter the ground to "We Can't Be Beaten" by Rose Tattoo. Hate to compliment the Pies but it was very effective!
