@doc.....stop your agenda mate
Changing the song is your idea to be relevant in the eyes of the new administration..

It's your thread mate....you started it and asked some questions......and now 4 pages later; you don't want to know about it.......and neither does anyone else....we're not interested in changing or modifying our Club Song......get over it.

He, not the song, is silly.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

didnt the team record a version of Midnight Blue back in the 90's when we were good? i think i had that on tape somewhere... that could be good for a laff, especially with the players version being used. sticks could have used his voice as the bassline...

I love your sense of humor Mosquito but the not so intelligent folk on this site probably don't and might take you seriously. Also...what is this new administration you speak of...perhaps in a more important thread you might like to enlighten us.

When I talk shop with the new President the song will not be on any agenda. There are far more important things to discuss. But once in a while posters are permitted to throw a question out there which is of little consequence to the clubs fortunes going forward...much like playing home games at Visy Park again.

still want more cowbell

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

Agreed.

Our current song is surly and probably the must infuriating to opposition supporters. I love it.

A mediocre period in our history hasn't allowed it to be sung with real gusto. I blame Ed Curnow a little too.

I interpret that you are putting your idea back into the box. Good.

As I stated in the first post...just asking the question. Putting it out there. That much was pretty obvious. But yourself and Warby have inspired me to take it a step further. I must have more cowbell!

I'd like a ditty to the tune of
"Miss Polly had a Dolly".

My kids love it and it always makes me laugh

Closed minded attitudes and a failure to explore new approaches are the reasons this club has been led into the malaise we currently face.

Discussing an idea doesn't make it gospel, or the right way forward.

Who knows, talking about the merits of our song might help create new ideas to improve the way the club promotes its proud heritage. But if we just sit standing in the mud thinking "We're Carlton, @#$%&! the rest" that mud will soon turn into quicksand.

I love 'when Johnny came marching home' (the animals wentt in two by two)
The melody is really old and original composer unknown.
The sort of tune you can sing at a faster pace, and has a strong anthemic, stirring of the soul
quality.
(when the Blues come marching home)

I reckon ours is the greatest post match victory song as you can draw it out and it is very satisfying to sing.

Where we could have a change is pre match, something a bit more intense and upbeat.


I propose a lead into battle song (new) and an after we've won the battle song (current)

I like it. but only before the players come up the race. like a pre banner invocation. If they used my above named song in a rip roaring modern way, then the boys go thru the banner, then...
dadadadada.....maybe?
on the other hand..
if they came up with a techno thing I'd burn my membership.
maybe leave it the hell alone..just in case???

No!

Yep - pre game version in a Dropkick Murphys style type song, purely consisting of nothing else but "DA DA DA DA DA" on loop. Put a bit of pan flute and cowbell backing to it, maybe some bagpipes.

Just give us the cup after that.

Why don't they just create a montage of players singing the song back in the rooms after some of our greatest wins. Splice them all together and put it up on the big screen to inspire the players as they run out and warm up. It will pump them up more to tatse that after the game hopefully, and maybe even get our supporters to actually sing with more gusto for once...

The last clip spliced in has to be the song being sung after the 99 prelim.
