This video has been reuploaded due to error in original which had me freezing half way through!
I'm not a big fan of the club songs. Rather Up there Cazaly!!
Seriously, time to change the songs. Time to update!!
Freemantle would have a newer sound because they are a newer club..
Only the Melbourne teams have the old sound of course...
@@antheabrouwer3258 Geelong:
GWS is actually a banger
Yep but hawthorn and Collingwood too
Oh when’s there’s a big big sound from the west side of town it’s the home of the mighty giants
@@Nostalgic-vibes24 bro doesn't know the lyrics
Yeah I’m a big fan of GWS and their song is a banger
Bro dosn’t not know liyrics it goes like well there’s a big big sound from the west of the town it’s the sound of the mighty GIANTS
Brisbane is based on the French national anthem that was originally used during the French revolution.
The former Fitzroy Lions Football Club used that same theme and when they merged with the Brisbane Bears in 1996, they kept the Fitzroy song with word change.
South Melbourne to Sydney had one word change "South will go in and Win overall" to "Swans will go in and Win overall"
Yep and it was also north roosters song too
The Sydney one
F tier because France. 🤮
My local footy club are the Swans and instead of 'Swans will go in a win overall' it's 'swans will go in a shit on em all'
@@ethanstransportvlogs45 I love that interpretation of the Swans song.
That is a real country footy song.
you should do the same thing but with the teams singing them as it completely changes the songs. As some are so old the music makes them feel different to hearing the team sing their song after a win plus you get the passion from the team. although i have to admit in my opinion port has the best song and that is coming from a Carlton supporter, it is catchy and i like the build up and i also know all the words and it gets stuck in my head after i hear it. also as a Carlton supporter i am holding back so much with your Carlton comments
Up the blues
Flaggers
Go baggers
U used the old eagles song
Both shit doesn't matter
I'm not a GC fan, but I live for the day we all get to hear that play out loud after a grand final
we might be waiting for a while...
@@liamphillips3916yes we will:(
Some of the versions you had were outdated. All the Victorian teams had their songs re-recorded about 4 years ago but I think most (if not all) have reverted back to the versions recorded by the Fable Singers in the 1970s (probably because of fan backlash, wanting to keep with tradition and the fact that new songs are over-compressed and lack the same raw character). The Collingwood, Melbourne and Hawthorn songs in your playlist were the 2018 versions. The Eagles also now have two different songs - in 2018 they introduced a shortened, simplified version of the one you played which currently blasts over the loudspeaker after they win games. Since 2021, they run out with a controversial new song that keeps the chorus of the old song but adds verses and has a digeridoo and electric guitars. It also has a music video which kinda looks like a TourismWA advert. It was horrible when they briefly had it as the final siren song but I think its okay for pre-game. You should do a video on that one though because it was really controversial among WCE fans.
The songs always sound better with Smacka's Banjo 😉
They weren’t the 2018 versions but they were used beforehand for The Footy Show. The Hawthorn one they used in the 2008 grand final but I’m not sure about the other two.
Yeah quite a few were outdated and sound nothing like what them ones did
The best way to judge the songs is either by seeing the players sing it in the rooms after a win, they all have their own ad libs. Or the crowd after the win. The way the Carlton players start the song with the ba, bada, bada improves it greatly. And I hate leaving the ground after losing to Richmond when the crowd yells “yellow and black”
if you even see this, the Melbourne team songs are old because they have been teams since the 1800s afl was first called the Victorian football league then once more teams around Australia started joining they renamed it to the Australian Football League
“The Gold Coast Suns, I don’t remember hearing that one” Considering how terrible they are, that was the funniest thing you said in the video.😂
terrible? lol, theyve just beaten your mob 🤣
@@kristian2677 aw, don’t tell me your with the other 3 Gold Coast fans…
Their VFL team is actually quite good this year.
I go for the cats but prob rate Geelong b and Gold Coast an A
Sounds better Rob when a massive crowd shouts 'Yellow and Black!'
No
Go lions not Richmond
Western Bulldogs were originally Footscray, they didn't merge or relocate, they only had a name change to Western Bulldogs to represent the wider Western Suburbs of Melbourne that was growing and redeveloping during the 90s.
After their near extinction in 1989 and merger attempts with Fitzroy during that time, Footscray realized they had to change their name in order to attract more sponsorship so that is why there are changes from their 1972 version of Sons of S'cray to Sons of the West.
The AFL W version of Western Bulldogs has their own version with Daughters of the West due to obvious reasons but still it's a nice song that still keeps the original Footscray tune of the original.
That’s the same reason Mangalore changed their name to Brighton. They had to get the local council on side.
Carltons theme feels like a "womp womp" theme song. Would not want to hear that after a loss! I love it obviously lol
The swans is the best
Agreed
CARN THE DOCKERS!!!
💜
When St Kilda ever jags a win, they sing it the way you said.
Great video mate! Even though my team lions was in d it’s good that I found a vid going into genuine details about the songs
Cheers 🍻
@@RobReacts1 🍻
freo dockers song so underrated
I like it
What club song are based on:
Adelaide Crows: United States Marine Hymn
Brisbane Lions: French National Anthem
Carlton Blues: Lily of Laguna
Collingwood Magpies: Goodbye Dolly Grey
Essendon Bombers: Keep Your Sunny Side Up
Fremantle Dockers: (Formerly) Volga Boat Men
Geelong Cats: Carmen
Gold Coast Suns: (Original)
Greater Western Sydney Giants: (Original)
Hawthorn Hawks: Yankee Doodle Boy
Melbourne Demons: You’re a Grand Old Flag
North Melbourne Kangaroos: A Wee Deoch and Doris
Port Adelaide Power: (Original)
Richmond Tigers: Row, Row, Row
St. Kilda Saints: When the Saints Go Marching In
Sydney Swans: Notre Dame Fight Song
West Coast Eagles: (Original)
Western Bulldogs: Bobbing Up and Down Like This
The Giants song is based on a old Cossack/Russian song, the name eludes me - sorry.
Sons of the Scray
Why do they have to steal so many Yank songs? No original composers in Oz? And not just steal the melody but some steal most of the lyrics. Sydney Swans is almost word for word.
The older version of the Freo song is the best thing in existence. ⚓️
Wow! Really?! You honestly think that?! Isn't it strange how we're all so different?
Freo heave ho!
Yes.
I prefer the old one with the Russian boat song intro.
No it isn’t
Glad you put the Suns up top as you will be hearing it tomorrow, when they beat the Swans. 🤣
haha thats a stop too far :D
no not the Adelaide CROWS, IT GIVWE ME NIGHTMARES.
The Richmond song gives Crom fans nightmares
The version of West Coast you hear was the 2000s version, the current Eagles version from 2018 is completely different in tune but still has the same chorus.
Their chorus has always been We're the Eagles the West Coast Eagles and we're here to show you why.
Their 87 version that is their original version is perhaps my fav version of their song, even if it brings back memories of them beating my Cats in 92 and 94,
As a Freo supporter, I will admit that the original West Coast song was good. Each version since then has been worse.
I also prefer Freo's original version with the Russian boat song intro, but I think Rob wouldn't like it as much.
@@TheJonoRawker True, the Russian Boat Song is a classic Freo theme song that only those from the 90s AFL would appreciate.
I like it too despite the way it kinda dragged out for a bit long.
The fact that the Eagles song wasn't last is a crime.
The old one was good, the new one is overdone
True
In my opinion Hawthorn Hawks has the best theme song!!! I’m a Hawthorn Supporter for life. Go Hawks
Any other Hawks supporter’s!
👇🏻
Lions, Suns and Freo my favourites. They are not even the trams i barrack for.
It’s old Fitzroy Lions theme song
No offence, but this seems a pretty bad tier list. I get that this is all subjective opinion but merely listening to the recorded studio version doesn't do the songs justice. Footy club songs are best song arm in arm with your mates or with a stadium of thousands around you. The thing about them is that the newer more 'corporate' sounding songs are just awful to sing as a team after a win. I can see you enjoying the Fremantle song, but remove the beat and the guitars you like and the lyrics are awful. That's what gets sung. Pretty uninspiring.
The same can be said for hearing the songs at the ground when you have other fans singing it with you, When you have 80000 tigers fans singing, that song slaps, when you hear the eagles song at Optus? not so much. Hearing the suns run out to theirs is drastically worse than hearing the giants run out with theirs.
Almost all the older songs are based on a pre-existing tune that was modified for the football teams. Adelaide - US Marines Hymn, Brisbane (Fitzroy) - La Marseillaise, Carlton - Lily of Laguna, Collingwood - Goodbye Dolly Gray, Essendon - Keep your Sunny Side up, Geelong - The Toreador Song, Hawthorn - Yankee Doodle boy, Melbourne - You're a Grand Old Flag, North Melbourne - Just a wee Deoch and Doris, Richmond - Row, Row, Row, St Kilda - obviously, Sydney - Notre Dame Victory March, Western Bulldogs - Sons of the Sea.
North has a whole other verse which is sung before that chorus. But its not in the commercial version and is very traditional. The vics used it for state of origin
W for the sunnys best team
Brisbane song is based on the on the French revolution song
Yellow and black
You also have to remember that most of these teams were made in mid-late 1800s not the 1900s so it is going to be very oldschool
The oldest teams all bagged the best songs.. ALSO Crows=US Marines anthem. The Swans song was preconceived that the South Melbourne /Sydney was surrounded by a lake.
When 60 thousand Collingwood supporters are singing and only 10 thousand Gold Coast supporters are singing, at that point in time the Sun's song just doesn't compete. It' s all about the passion and number of the supporters singing the song.
yeah 100% on anzac day the Essendon and Collingwood theme songs jump from c to a easily they sound pretty boring by themselves but when its 100k at the g screaming the songs out it sounds amazing
Im a gold coast fan btw
Not trying to be mean but I think 100000,0000 people are singing the Geelong song
@@craigrogers-vn7ycwow 1 billion
you should of put port Adelaide in A+
obviously rob has never felt the feeling of a sweet 1 point win or finals win and heard the big old brass instruments in the carlton song, the best feeling ever
No but I felt a win over Collingwood in the prelim finals in 2022 at the scg...
@@RobReacts1 fair
do the right eagles version 2024 and you will enjoy it more
Well funny thing is the Magpies, Hawks and Melbourne songs aren’t the real versions of the songs. Those are remixed the real ones sound better trust me
Power is goated
The Eagles song is by far the worst. A draw between The Suns and The Giants...great songs.
I commented on the other post Rob that the swans song is a version of the original SANFL Port Adelaide Magpies team song which goes:
"Cheer cheer the black and the white, honour the magpie day and by night, lift that loyal banner high, shake down the thunder from the sky" etc - hence the lightening bolt of the Power!! And is the reason you can't get your mind around the Swan lyrics!
Also, I started barracking for them in 1977 coz they were losing and Australians are known for supporting the underdog
Link to SANFL Magpie song - th-cam.com/video/VYaHwR_CPe0/w-d-xo.html
Melbourne's song is the only one that doenst mention the team name in it at all. No mention of Melbourne or demons
I think hearing these songs in the right context is important if you want to properly appreciate them. For example Carlton probably has the worst song when you listen to the recording, but its the best sounding song when the players sing it after a win in my opinion. On another note, Port Adelaide's intro may seem a bit out of place or long, but when the siren sounds and the players are celebrating there is no better sound in the world than those trumpets.
GO GEELONG CATS
we are GEELONG the GREATEST team of ALL we are GEELONG awe are ALWAYS on a BALL WE PLAY THE GAMES AS IT SHOULD BE PLAYED AT HOME OR FAR AWAY!
The Adelaide Crows theme is United States Marine Corps Hymn and Hawthorn is Yankee Doodle Dandy and Melbourne Demons is from You're a Grand Old Flag written by George M Cohen same as Yankee Doodle Dandy
The start isn’t in the port song anymore
Bulldogs half fighting and half chihuahua
Who goes for carlton
Listening to the theme songs on their own definitely some don’t sound that great
Maybe check them out at the final siren of the matches with the crowd affect
This is where you’ll get the full affect of the songs
I reckon you will think differently then
Just like you would have loved it when you were at the Preliminary Final listening the Swans song
Great watching your Vlogs mate
If you can, try to put Tassie on ya list to visit when you come Down Under next time
Cheers 😊🇦🇺👍
Listen to the 2021 or 2023 vertin of west coast. It is the worst song created for sport.
Worst piece of 'music' ever written
The Lions’ song is based on La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem
Which The Beatles borrowed a few bars from for the intro to "All You Need is Love" in 1966.
The heroes are those who have earned the right to wear the silver teal and black and white............ and that's all you need to know.
Also that's probably the most GC fans have ever heard their song .🙂
And I'll admit I was in some form of pain trying to listen to other clubs songs, It's just not something you do.
ur listening to the Collingwood theme song but it’s a different one
Top 3 for me are Richo, Pies and Bombers
Easily the best 3
Same for me, maybe not bombers but close enough
Hate the Brisbane song, the Marseillaise (French national anthem)
The best AFL songs: The Holy Grail, Up there Cazaly, That's the thing about football, Bound for Glory, One Tony Lockett! 🤔 But the best of all, The Musicmen, 25th Anniversary EJ Whitten Legends event! 🎉🤣 Port Adelaide was a good strong song! The Carlton anthem is at least sounding British, most of these are American marching band tunes! There's a lot of Brass! 😏 Salute the US Flag, College Games, 1812 battles, Macy's Parade, Red White & Blue forever! 🥱 The Giants tune is Moscow! "We are the Red and the White"! 👍
The Carlton song should be in at least D
Edit. I’m a Carlton supporter
I hate you from a honest Carlton supporter A BORING TEAM?! LOOK AT SYDNEYS LINEUP DUDE
Go blues!!
The brisbane lions theme song is based off All You Need is Love by the Beatles
The Brisbane songs start is the French National anthem or something like that
Adelaide song is taken from the US Marine song "From The Halls Of Montezuma" th-cam.com/video/SwS6OkgUXKE/w-d-xo.html
I go for Hawthor
The Hawthorne song, and the West Coast Eagles song is not the up-to-date versions
Absolutely agree with your choices. You got it spot on, that's too funny!! Go Suns!!
I think the modern rock style ones!
I know it’s his opinion but as a Carlton fan this guy is wrong about the song and the team
Well I respectfully say your opinion is wrong 😉
Carlton was in the semi final for goodness sake
play the richmond one but it is full time at a winning game. s tier
Freo one smacks harder than it has any right to
It's so good!
I think the only things that this video exhibits are the miserable ignorance and utter incompetence of this man. He doesn't know the French National Anthem .... duh! He doesn't understand the historical context of the songs he critiques and how, accordingly, many of them are indelibly imprinted in the memories and lives of the followers of those clubs. He doesn't know Lilly Marlene. He doesn't know the original tunes of most of the older club song. He is ignorant of Australian history. And just why does he imagine that anyone cares about the opinions of someone who has no qualifications where music is concerned..
Why did you do that? I love Hawthorn
Fun fact goldCoast has never played in a grandfinal
The Collingwood and Melbourne song in this video is outdated
West Coast is too but still keep it like that because the new one sucks
The Collingwood is Different Now.
The snake must have been in your pants when GWS song was on
Let's be honest... the best club song (to you) is the song of the club you support... but you are right, Carlton's song is a dirge... and GWS' 'big big sound', reminds me to Monty Python's 'Knights of the round table'.
All the recordings are piss, you need to either do the players singing it, or a big crowd singing it after a tight win.
But thats not the actual song is it
Those don't sound too good either
So offensive to hawks and Collingwood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How is it offensive me saying I don't like like it...
The lions song is the French national anthem
Idk why but the eagles have a new song and it was released in 2020 so idk why it was the old one
BRISBANE THAT LOW IS A CRIME
Fun fact. The Sydney song is also the same as Port Adelaide's SANFL club song just changed to fit their Magpie persona in the SANFL
French national anthem UP THE LIONS
Suns is sweat ngllll
This is pretty old. Song to Carlton no crape they were found in 1826
ESSENDON😊RED HEAT❤
You guy is really bad because you didn’t like my team song
you have the wrong eagles song thaat the 1990s one do the 2024 one mate
The worst AFL club themes are the more recent teams Freo, GWS and Gold Coast. Although I don't support them, I reckon the Port Adelaide power is the best. My team the Sydney Swans theme is ok about middle of the list. Magpies Bombers Tigers Cats and Dees are reasonably good. I agree Carlton's song sucks but is not the worst!! I just hope they get a good songwriter for the new Tassie Devils theme!!
The Brisbane Lions song is from Fitzroy Lions. Fitzroy merged with Brisbane bears. They got Brisbane's location, Fitzroy's mascot and Fitzroy's theme song refurbished
FREOS song is a banger some are bit outdated but I don’t mind I prefer the old ones
I share your problem about the other team's song being catchy. I always find myself singing the other teams song under my breath when they're running out against my team when I go to the footy
Carlton is one of the best afl songs and it’s sounds old cause the football club is old
That’s the old eagles song 😒😠
Bro the west coast eagles song is wrong
Bro is British
I think it's generally agreed upon by most people (it's subjective though, so it differs) that the Tigers song is the best
Edit: It's fine to say "the" before a team name. It's weirder not to. I don't know how you put St Kilda (also the most hated theme song, West Coasts wtf haha) above Richmond's but I'll respect your opinion lol. It's much better with a crowd, the Yellow and Black is increible
No no, never say "the" before a team name other wise you would sound like a yank!
@@RobReacts1 If you're going to say the full team name like "I go for the Richmond Tigers", then the is definitely needed. Or you could obviously say "The Tigers, The Power, The Swans", but not "The Sydney, The Richmond". Not many people would use both their team names though. One situation where you wouldn't put "the" before a team name is if you say "Go the Swans!" or "Go Tiges".
Edit: Although, you could also hear "Up the mighty Tigers" as well
It's very difficult to compare the new with the old, I pretty much agree with your order Rob the problem is if they tried to change their songs it just wouldn't happen, people have grown up loving these clubs and songs.
On a personal note Rob! Leave my Mighty Saints Alone!! 😢 even if it's probably not going to be a good year looking at current form ❤️🩶🖤
Haha sorry. My Saints struggle as well! 😜
@@RobReacts1 it's certainly not looking good for them, almost certain relegation 😭 sorry mate
Our song (Carlton) is led school because we are one of the oldest teams that’s why
I meant old school idk where led came from 😂
What shit K-Tel version of the Collingwood theme song is that?????
