Very nice 😊👍. Essendon's 1965 version from Smacka Fitzgibbon sounds actually pretty satisfying IMO because of the middle part of the song. IDK why though.
Very nice 😊👍. I first heard Carlton's & Richmond's 1967 songs from Smacka Fitzgibbon, and now, Collingwood's 1965 song from Smacka Fitzgibbon! This one's definitely interesting as it kinda goes in a jazzy route, like the rest of the 1960s VFL songs done by him. The Collingwood version is definitely nice IMO for its era.
They must have got the players to sing the songs. No wonder the shite hole fable unison singers seemed like a massive improvement. No idea why they recorded squidward playing along with them either.
There's a very good chance. That's the main lead I'm pursuing in trying to find the Bears '94-96 club song at the moment. The back of each CD says 'Collect all 13 songs' and there were 15 clubs in the 1993 season so I'm guessing all except one had a new song recorded that year
@@ArgentinaFan76 Yeah I've always been 50/50 as to whether that was him. Now that I've heard a couple more of his songs I'll have to give Camry Crows another listen - timeframe does seem to line up after all
Not sure. With the other Spectangle videos I've included their old logo and the year of recording since the songs aren't used anymore, but this one is still current so it might be confusing to put that in the thumbnail
Very nice 😊👍. I love how Spectangle Productions executed Essendon's tune for North Launceston back in 1989. Do you think the Robins name should return for North Launceston?
Absolutely I reckon they should change back to the Robins. It's been their nickname for most of the club's history and it's much more unique than Bombers
They changed it in the off season after 1997. Not sure why they did that to be honest, they had poor seasons in 1996 and 1997 by their standards and decided to go with the Northern Bombers name from 1998, of course it probably didn't hurt when they went undefeated and won the TFL premiership by 8 goals over Clarence that year, lost the 1999 decider to Glenorchy and 2000 final to Clarence so it was successful. Bit of a shame to just chuck away their heritage like that but I haven't heard any grumblings about it. On the other hand, the OTHER Bombers outfit in the current state league is South-Eastern Hobart based club, Lauderdale. That club was only founded in 1979 and played two years as the Magpies before changing to the Cats in 1981 which they remained as until 2003. There was some sort of partnership deal with Essendon at the time that saw the club swap to Bombers jumpers, curiously they've never worn the proper Essendon strip, ever. It's been predominantly a Geelong-style hooped Red & Black uniform (similar to the old Jane Franklin Hall, University of Tasmania football jumper). There has been calls in recent years to return to the Cats but nothing has eventuated.
The earliest recorded version of St Kilda using Oh When the Saints as their song I'm aware of is from 1965, so they would've change it not too long after this
It is very interesting- sounds like the actual players singing it after a win! But teamwork the thing that counts?!!😮 wtf I much prefer the things that talks!!! Any any day my friend
Wow. Never realised Richmond had a song to the tune of Waltzing Matilda! Always thought it had been to the tune of “You’ve gotta row, row, row”. (I think that’s what the song is called)
The song was 'Row, Row, Row' from the 1912 Ziegfeld Follies, a Broadway review. It was a adapted for use by Jack Malcolmson a year or two after this tune because it'd fallen into disuse. The club coach at the time was Des Rowe.
Amazing that Geelong ditched their anthem for John Watt's compilation (Toreador march) in 1963, and the Kangas actually grabbed that and use it as the prelude to the theme song they still use now.
Very nice 😊👍. So, Spectangle Productions basically decided to use the exact same tune for the Burnie Hawks as the Glenorchy Magpies. Definitely interesting, no doubt.
HA , The Carlton theme song is the first verse of a very very old Song , Lily of Laguna , and the second verse of that song , I regarded by many as extremely racist , people want to ban this Club Song , on those grounds , but if you listen to the ancient tune you can tell CARLTON used a popular , song of then and took the first Verse , it's OK , CAAARRRLLTTTON , GO BLUES RARARA
To be honest I heard that and thought. No wonder they changed it to a song that was already there waiting that hardly needed to be changed. To me that old song sums up St Kilda. “We have hopes of winning the flag” besides the lyrics actually not fitting in the tune, this shows how low their expectations are. All teams have hopes but their history shows they leave it to luck and then generally implement moves to counteract the possibility of that having any effect.
Very nice 😊👍. Again, I obviously prefer the Swans' 1972 Fable Singers version, but their 1961 Talent City version is definitely interesting, especially how the singers are singing the lyrics.
Very nice 😊👍. I still prefer North Melbourne's current 1972 Fable Singers version, but this kinda jazzy 1961 version from Talent City ain't bad though.
Very nice 😊👍. I definitely expected the same tune that Melbourne currently uses in their 1972 Fable Singers song, but it didn't expect a pitch change in the 2nd part of this 1961 version.
Rang out proudly across North Hobart in 1988 when they won the first TFL premiership to ever leave the south since 1879. It was only their second flag since 1938!
Cheers, full credit goes to the website AFLsongs! North have had this tune since around the 1920s which makes Geelong using it even stranger! Of all the 1961 songs, this was by far the weirdest
It sounds a fair bit like Glenorchy's. The actual "Burnie Football Club" was the Tigers that played in the NWFU and later NTFL. Burnie Hawks used to be known as Cooee Bulldogs until they joined the TFL in 1987 and were made to call themselves "Burnie Hawks" to give themselves a more well known geographical name for state level footy and to differentiate themselves from the Burnie Tigers. East Launceston Demons had already amalgamated with the City-South Redlegs to be come South Launceston Bulldogs a year earlier so the Bulldogs nickname was off the table. After years of arguing between the two, they ended up merging in 1994 and changed their name to the Burnie Dockers in 1995.
Very nice 😊👍. I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT from Geelong's 1961 version LOL! The Melbourne tune combined with the North Melbourne tune is strange IMO. I obviously prefer the current 1972 Fable Singers version the Cats have right now.
Most of the 1961 songs are just older arrangements of the current songs, there's a few like Richmond and St Kilda that are different but still fairly straightforward, but Geelong's honestly baffles me. Very strange!
@@nate_37 Yeah 👍, a lot of the 1961 songs are definitely different compared to the 1972 Fable Singers songs. And yeah, I'm also baffled by Geelong's 1961 song.
@@tommyandrewd I'm not entirely sure which was first. For what it's worth, Wikipedia claims North's song is believed to be the oldest in the AFL although I couldn't find anything to back that up
