In this video I'm going over the history of all the AFL Theme Songs and i will be listening to not only the old songs but the origin of where the songs came from
The clubs had songs back in the 50's, but only Richmond, St. Kilda and Essendon are on UA-cam. Richmond originally used the tune "Waltzing Matilda" and St. Kilda used "I do like to be beside the Seaside". The Brisbane Bears had a song in their last few years called "Brisbane Bears will live forever". People have been trying to find it for years but still found nothing. The best we have is a live concert version of the song
Let's see how many I know without watching... Adelaide's is The USMC anthem, having previously been soccer hooligan staple Here We Go. Brisbane's was originally Fitzroy's, but originally originally the French national athem. The Bears had at least one song too. Carlton - not sure, but it’s an old ballad. Collingwood's was Goodbye Dolly Grey, a ballad from the US Civil War. Essendon's was a US Air Force song from WWII. Footscray was Sons Of The Sea, which I think was a British Navy song. Fremantle's is an original composition. But before the current one they had We Are We Are Freo, to the tune of Queen's We Will Rock You. Geelong... Can't think of the name but it's from an opera. For a few seasons they had We Are The Cats. Gold Coast... I DON'T THINK I EVER HEARD THEIR SONG. Giant's is an original composition. Hawthorn is Yankee Doodle Dandy Melbourne: A substantial re-working of Auld Lang Syne North Melbourne. I know all the words, but don't if the tune is older. It might be original Port: An original composition? Richmond: it's a war song from British India (the historical colony, not the band). Saint Kilda: From the New Orleans area, late 19th Century. Sydney: the Anthem for Notre Dame university in America. Also South Melbourne's old song. For a time they had Up There Cazaly. West Coast: an original tune. I have no idea if University had a song or not.
Adelaide's Song - The melody for the "United States Marines' Hymn" was originally written by French composer Jacques Offenbach for his 1859 operetta "Genevieve de Brabant".

I have a soft spot for "We are the navy blues..", but you are right Cdm22 - the Tigers' theme song is the best. My team: The Melbourne Demons - I have sung "Its a Grand Old Flag" an uncounted no. of times.
The Collingwood theme song was as it is now, but in the 1980s they changed it to There is only one team we favour, as they considered that the premiership was no longer a 'cakewalk'. After the 1990 Premiership, they changed it back to Oh, The Premierships a Cakewalk' and since then, including that one, we have won 2 more. Good Old Collingwood Forever.
Sons of the scray Red white and blue We will come out smiling If we win or lose Others build their teams my lads They think they know the game But you can’t beat the boys of the bulldog breed We make ol Footscray’s name
Sunny Side Up was a variety show on Channel 7, but the tune is older. It's a WWII US Air Force song. Instead of 'our boys who play this grand old game' it's 'great big planes' or somesuch
If the Cats’ song was Freo’s, I think the “Freo Heave Ho” or whatever would be “Geelong, real strong” or something like that, but definitely the Geelong and strong cause they rhyme. Why does Fremantle have to have an amazing song? I’m not saying that Geelong’s one is bad but if I were at a Geelong vs Fremantle game, I’d sing the freo song in my head and it will never come out, it’s so catchy!
To be completely honest with ya I am a Carlton Fan ( Go Blues ) but our theme song is very rusty and old and I think it needs freshening up. I like it but I want something modern and to be strait even more just a Better song. I hope the CFC see this comment and take it into consideration please...
It's very funny as an American hearing how many of these are based on patriotic songs like "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or "You're a Grand Old Flag." Over here, those songs are very stereotypically associated with things like the 4th of July and college marching bands.
I do for essendon bombers and hawthorn hawks and west Coast Eagles and do support these teams and Fremantle dockers also you should see a afl match live
Adelaide had here we go here we go like an English football chant before they adopted pride of South Australia. Brisbane had Dare to be a Bear and glory glory Brisbane Bears before adopting the old Fitzroy song. Richmond a song to wa

My Favourite was Essendon
I’m confused about so many old teams songs
My favourite song was probably the tigers
The hey eagles was really good
Why the hell did they change it
Richmond
Dons

Can you do one that goes into the depth of every teams theme song history like every different songs they’ve had?
Never knew Freo's was that old!
I have a soft spot for "We are the navy blues..", but you are right Cdm22 - the Tigers' theme song is the best.
My team: The Melbourne Demons - I have sung "Its a Grand Old Flag" an uncounted no. of times.
I loved Sydney old theme song VFL
Great

Would you rather lifetime alf cards of team coach or 1 box of footy cards
west coast also sounds like up there cazaly with the lyrics changed
Lit 😎🤙
Sunny Side Up was a variety show on Channel 7, but the tune is older.
It's a WWII US Air Force song.
Instead of 'our boys who play this grand old game' it's 'great big planes' or somesuch
Yeah I noticed that as well when doing research for the vid
Great vid. U should have put Richmond 1993 club song because it sounds very odd from their new one
Hi James. Upload more.
I don’t think it was their official song though
I agree with the wce theme I'm an Eagles fan, every time I think of Richmond theme I think of kath from Kath n Kim singing it
What do u edit on
Adobe Premiere Pro
Thanks
Row, Row is a 1950s euphemism for having sex. You had to be subtle in those days.
Nice headphones bro
Since I’m a big Richmond fan I’m sometimes just typing up Richmond theme song and listen to it
@Fire Footy no Richmond suck go the cats
@@Dontgotomychanneldescription Go bite your bum GO TIGERS
Dockers have one of the best theme songs in the league. The Sydney Swans song is one of my favourites because my footy U12s team has that theme song
Great video. Thanks for sharing it!
The new West Coast theme is a total joke. There’s a big push to restore the old one.
Fingers crossed.
Knock knock who’s there Owen Owen who
Owen the saints go macrching in
Next Vid surely u sing AFL Songs
Lol definitely not
@@CARDMAN22 Hey cardy
Carlton was once rated number 1 AFL song with the current theme and you say it's the worst LOL.
Mate, he said Freo's new song was good. No chance he has taste.
@@afez2752 freo's new song is actually good imho also ports
If the Cats’ song was Freo’s, I think the “Freo Heave Ho” or whatever would be “Geelong, real strong” or something like that, but definitely the Geelong and strong cause they rhyme.

I’m not saying that Geelong’s one is bad but if I were at a Geelong vs Fremantle game, I’d sing the freo song in my head and it will never come out, it’s so catchy!
Did you know the song in the back of the Brisbane Lions song is the France national anthem
To be completely honest with ya I am a Carlton Fan ( Go Blues ) but our theme song is very rusty and old and I think it needs freshening up. I like it but I want something modern and to be strait even more just a Better song. I hope the CFC see this comment and take it into consideration please...
ok im a dogs fan but am i the only person who feels like a party vibe when hearing the dockers theme song
The North Melbourne song is the only one I couldn't remember hearing lol
Geelong freo and carlton have the best ones i think
my theme song for under 11s is based on california here i come from 1924
I realized that the eagles 2018 theme song drums where from never gonna give you up.
Hello thanks for All amazing awesome vlogs could I please be all your best friend ever from Mark
ITS THE EMBLUM OFFFF THE TEAM WE LOVE THE TEAM OF THE RED AND THE BLUE
Listen to Take It Off by Kesha the chorus sounds exactly like the GWS ones
You got tuned in with the dockers
Yeah I did haha
It's very funny as an American hearing how many of these are based on patriotic songs like "Yankee Doodle Dandy" or "You're a Grand Old Flag." Over here, those songs are very stereotypically associated with things like the 4th of July and college marching bands.
Yeah or the Notre Dame March (Sydney/South Melbourne Swans).
I do for essendon bombers and hawthorn hawks and west Coast Eagles and do support these teams and Fremantle dockers also you should see a afl match live
What is your favourite football team
Toreador is from Carmen by Georges Bizet in 1875. Our song is very bland and middle of the road. It's solid though, some of the new ones are trash.
The singing tops off the video
Yeah haha
I love to the dance in Fremantle mate
Go saints
My favourite team song is Collingwood, Essendon, West Coast Eagles, Carlton,Richmond,Saint Kilda
Cardy said this is the best song in the league on multiple songs lol including Richmond, Sydney etc.
Toreador march, from the opera Carmen by George Bizet in 1879.
Love the Tiges. Best team in the whole AFL 😀💛🖤
Swans is decent too
Collingwood old version
Not many people will believe this but cazaly is my nannys great grandpa. so i go for sydney because im related to him
Adelaide Crows- Halls of Montezuma was used during WWII
Dons had a 1970s song before there current one I meant 1960*
Thank you for saying that Richmond’s song is the best in the league
That’s not Adelaides old song
Fun fact the port Adelaide Magpies song in SA is the original one
and sooooooooo much much better than the Wish version of Sydneys
Good Old Collingwood Forever!
Brisbane one is from the French National anthem
The Fitzroy version is much better.
3:55 PRESS RED FOR ED!!!
i love Essendon 1972 beacuze bomber fan
Adelaide had here we go here we go like an English football chant before they adopted pride of South Australia.
Brisbane had Dare to be a Bear and glory glory Brisbane Bears before adopting the old Fitzroy song.
Richmond a song to wa
Port Adelaide song is based on a US 1970s commercial advertising deodorant: uncle Sam
I heard the 70s ad and cannot hear the similarities. You got a link?
6:00 Freddy Jumpscare

Carmen- Toreador March
