the more this goes on here, the more I reckon it could be more devisive than otherwise.
if it's something not universally embraced, it's gonna be a torment to those who go to home games regularly.
who gets to decide?
what if their taste is as pitiful as Andy D's?
note that there were lots of people who loved 'bat out of hell' in it's original state, and would not get why others loathe it.
I think Kochy fluked a widely loved song, even though some on here hate it..and I guess a few percent at Port do too.
I really don't see why you need a song that mentions any Carlton words..you need a really up lifting, go get em song, that does everything our club song lacks..even though we love it.
should have a great beat..and importantly (I think...) a great voice, or be instrumental.

I lean towards a classic song, already well known, and very hard to dislike...
nothing too obscure like half the ones I've posted, unless they are dead easy to learn and catchy.

no hideous vibratos..which rules out Fergal Sharkey, Joan Baez, and most heavy metal warblers.

No overdone fake aussie folk accents..

no crap cheap production..

I'm thinking along these lines..because it probably appeals to all ages, it has a great beat, and a great singer..and..it speaks to our club....get back up there!!!
it's just an example though, and i bet there are a fair few who don't like the Beatles either, so, really...impossible task.

Awesome. Brilliant song, film, set up and memories.

Havent heard tha in a long while.

Inspirational.....but not in a footy or Carlton way...imo...which 15 second part? Its a 15 second lick anyone could sing along to that we're after...isnt it ....now if it was "Push in the Back" instead of "get back" then maybe

Anyone been to Europe? The world game freaks sing a tune that sounds like the White Stripes - Seven Nation Army. It sounds amazing when a big crowd gets behind it.

Get that tune going and belt out the following:
We, We Are the Navy Blues!
We, We Are the Navy Blues!
We, We Are the Navy Blues!
We, We Are the Navy Blues!
We, We Are the Navy Blues!

It will sound awesome and is catchy and people will go home singing it in their head like it has done to me all these years.

Well said. The fact that we've got 7 pages full of suggestions that are poles apart tells us that. Its the old "Can't please all the people all the time"

For anything like this to really work, it has to have a ground swell of support, and not a "decree". For example, someone pick a song, play it at exactly 15 mins before each game, and then see if it gets going.

As well, many of the examples provided eg US college football, ONLY work because its a totally partisan crowd.

When I started looking at this thread, I was waiting for the obvious song and it hasn't been posted.

Blue Monday by New Order.

Might be showing my age but the crescendo in that song is awesome and would have the crowd in a frenzy.

It's got us in the title and the name has what our opposition will feel on Monday.

(I do like anything by the Pixies though but they don't have a title which incorporates Blue)

I invite you all to listen to the song and tell me I'm wrong or, simply, out of date.

"In the back, in the back.
In the back, it's a free to Geelong."

Following on from a few comments, if you want a song that is sincere and gets a crowd involved then it would be hard to go past "Throw Your Arms Around Me"

Anyone who has been to a H&C concert will know how involved the crowd gets as soon as the opening bar is played

did someone try and tear port apart at some stage?

whats the relevance?
