Which clubs has the best and worst songs?

Singing your clubs song at the end of a winning game has always been a special part of our great game, but who do think has the best and worst songs in the AFL, Sanfl, Saafl, SFL, etc?

At the end of the Under 18's game between our boys and Broadview on Sunday I watched Broadviews under 18's sing their song ( "I want to be a Broadview Tiger") after winning by 10 goals. I've seen them sing it a couple times and thought their song is a good one to sing. It's cool how one lad yells out the line of the song and they the rest of the teams repeats it after him. Plus the lyrics sound cool and it all goes well together.

My favourite AFL teams song would have to be Richmonds "Where from Tiger Land" but we haven't heard it for a while. I also think North Melbourne and St Kilda have good songs aswell. The worst would have to be Freos, with a combination of some terrible music and Lyrics.

Any thoughts??

Hear goes mate,

Captain usually leads with the verse and team repeat after him.

I wanna be a Broadview Tiger
(team repeat)
I wanna live a life of danger
(team repeat and so on)
High Flier
Body Liner
We're the team that we love best
'specially when we beat the rest
We beat (team just beaten)

I love our song at Paringa.
A bit random, but great fun to sing.
FYI: Max Jones was the old local police sergeant back in the day.

Ohhhhh the Paringa boys, the Paringa boys, the Paringa boys are we.
We're always up to mischief, no matter where we be.
Some people think we're silly, but they make a big mistake.
Cos when they meet us Paringa boys, they meet us wide awake.

I was standing on the corner, when Max Jonesy said to me.
If you're one of those Paringa boys, you'd better come with me.
He grabbed me by the collar and tried to run me in.
I upped me fist and knocked him stiff, the boys began to sing:

Oh, ham and eggs for breakfast, ham and eggs for tea.
A slice of bread and butter as hard as buggery.
And if you do not like it, well have some bread and jam.
We'll all go back to Paringa, in coaches hot sedan

Must admit I always enjoyed singing Tigerland when I was at Loxton.

As for Loxton North's, I can honestly and sadly say I don't yet know it, as I've only sung it twice.

i must admit the vaginia song is very original and im a fan of it, the broadview song comes from a chant that is rather crude that i dont mind belting out after a few cans its a cracker.
i dont mind Smosh west lakes song and north melbourne is a good one
