Club Songs

[whufc]

off the top my head Centrals have had

Tooralie
Pride of the Plains
This Time
We're a winning team

Which one of those was the "Beware The Dogs Are Coming" song?

Pride of the Plains, written by 'Swanny' IIRC.

Taken from the CDFC Forum

We're the pride of the plains,
We're the red, white and blue,
We're the pride of the plains,
And we're coming to get you...

*** NOT SURE ON THIS LINE ***
*** AND THIS ONE AS WELL ***
We'll never give up
'Til we win that cup
And we're not far off now...

Beware the dogs are comin',
We're on the prowl,
Beware the dogs are comin',
We're not far off now,
Beware the dogs are comin',
Red, white and blue,
Beware the dogs are comin',
They're coming, they're coming to get to you...

Still prefer "Pride of the Plains". It was/is a great anthemic song, would love the club to bring it back as the club song! GO u Dogs!

yeah my greatest memory as a 5-10yo was going to the SANFL with my nan and grandad and after a rare Centrals win belting out the only lines of the song i knew 'beware the dogs are coming' 'red white and blue' from the ground, to the bowling club carpark and then all the way home to Gawler.

Ps I would love to have seen someone from the Centrals marketing crew create a modern version to market at local kids

[Mr66]

Ha, I remember I'd have the chorus stuck in my head for hours after .. Was a big Swanny fan too back in those days.

Now I have the same problem with the North club song, it's too catchy.

Now I have the same problem with the North club song, it's too catchy.

And it is original!

North song is tops, especially after they jazzed it up a couple of years ago. No mention in the thread to date of 'Come on ya peckers' to the tune of the woody woodpecker song. We used to hear it at the start of games at Woodville, performed by the band of the 4th military district, but rarely after the game. We also had the advantage of the simultaneous performance of the 'peckerettes', another first for Woodville. I have a sister who was a foundation peckerette and a brother a foundation Woodville mini-leaguer, green and gold royalty really. I also have a 45 rpm record at home with the peckers song on one side and the history of Woodville football club, narrated by Jim Chamings, on the other side. Needless to say, 2 minutes probably summed it up at that stage.

No doubt Peter Plus is still flogging them around the traps at the media agencies from his push bike.

[CENTURION]

my favourite was......
HERE WE COME
LOOK AT US DEMONSTRATING
GOING STRONG
THEY CALL US DEVASTATING
GRANDSTAND TO MOUND
THE TALK OF THE TOWN
KICKING GOALS FROM ALL OVER THE GROUND
THE MIGHTY BULLDOGS
THAT'S WHAT THEY LIKE TO CALL US
WE'RE IN A CLASS OF OUR OWN
THERE'S NO WAY THEY'LL EVER DEFEAT US
THEY MAY TRY BUT THEY'LL NEVER BEAT US
WE'LL TAKE THE FLAG NOW
WE'LL HEAR NOTHING DIFFERENT
HERE COME THE RED WHITE & BLUE
HERE COME THE MIGHTY BULLDOGS!

[CENTURION]

My dad wrote a ripper to the tune of Men Of Harlech.

McAlmanac has been known to sing this after a few "lemonades".

[stampy]

[csbowes]

Great to have the links to the old songs...

... no copy of the Sturt version of the Carlton song, we sang that for years!

I think I actually prefer that to the Grand Old Flag version.

Agree totally, Centurion!!
Eeks, what is wrong with me, I agree with you for a change!!

[Blackwhite]

Swans had it before Port.

Pretty sure Fos Williams appropriated it after hearing South players sing it.

Of course, they both rip-off the "Notre Dame Victory March."

Port sung a "War Cry" before that...

Does anyone happen to know what this "War Cry" was?
