I don't know why, but the other day I was thinking about our theme song. A song I've loved for approx 45 years.

It occurred to me that lyrically it's quite uninspiring, it has two good lines that are good to belt out as a supporter.

Is it tired and dated?

Maybe this is just off season musings of a mad man.

Maybe you've associated the song to losing too long.

Tables will turn

Unlike some other clubs, the great thing is that it isn’t overplayed…

One thing's for sure.

For many a year now, the players themselves (male and female) have not known the lyrics (We'll keep our ends up :confused: :confused: :confused: ).

Pathetic.

I changed it years ago to "always lets ya down".
Hopefully my version is less applicable this season and onwards.

Sometimes less is more.

A bit like this post as I initially thought we were going to revive the unpleasant connotations from eons ago

Why confusion ? It's ''send us'' that's it ! Not really confusing.
Reminds me of an old mate of mine, a Collingwood fanatic, who confessed one boozy day at the footy how much he liked the song. :lol:

I hear what you are saying KK.

When you compare it to the Tigers song for instance there's is clearly a better song for getting the energy levels up..

Maybe it will return when we start winning, or maybe even dominating in the near future.

I know the “da da da da da” bit really annoys the shit out of people - so that’s good enough for me.
