Fargen shithouse song. If the sport is jumping off buildings then this would be ideal. How did they keep a straight face recording this bollocks? Think of the pefectly good blank discs that were wasted when they cut 'Automatic for the People'. Rock died on that day.

We can't be beaten by Rose Tattoo and Local Hero at Newcastle games. Eagle Rock at West Coast home games is a nice touch too but anything would beat that club song of theirs that brags about how high they are.

Close but no cigar. Kerryn Tolhurst was in The Dingoes but the band that he recorded this with was known as Rattling Sabres. It was a one off single (circa 1986 or 87).

EDIT - Well bugger me! The things you find on You Tube

The mighty Mt Lofty Devils U17's up in the hills have been running out to that song for years!!!

I hope no other clubs read this because that's why we've won so many U17's GF starting back in '98.
