One of the 1961 VFL team songs recorded for the Talent City label. All credit to Reddit user FollowingOk9499 and their website www.aflsongs.com/ which has an archive of many old football songs and recordings!
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
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
