Mike Brady to write us a new song

[DeeVoted 583]

Mike Brady has volunteered his services to write us a new song.

Now before anyone jumps up and down, that it is going to replace A grand Old Flag, NOT so.

Neil Mitchell on 3AW is taking suggestions. ,then Brady will pen the song.

I am not a huge Mitchell fan, but its something positive and if it helps our footy club, (one hopes) good for him.

It is a work in progress atm, so be interesting to hear what he comes up with.

Where does it fit in if it doesn't replace Grand Old Flag?

I have a lot of respect for Mike Brady. 'Up there Cazaly' and 'One day in September' are great historical footy songs. Who else better to write a song to help boost up the whole club through troubled times.

They will still run out to 'It's a Grand Old Flag', but who's to say it won't be a song they can pump themselves up with before they run out.

*insert look to the past not the present, this sort of stuff is crap unless we are good type comments here*

Cmon the bag out schwab and stynes for this sort of thing, where is the anger and the vitriol now??? Get fired up demonland!

[Deeoldfart 8,066]

Totally agree alias. With Mike Brady penning the words / tune, I'll wager that 97.25% of us will love it!

As 'C'mon Demons' became a bit of a theme during the Northey era, let the new song become a booming crescendo for the era which is about to dawn!

[Theo 276]

Heard Mike Brady sing the song this morning. Thought It was really good. Should be podcast on 3AW later today or tomorrow?

Mike Brady is a musician and not running the club. He can buy an expensive desk and sit at it designing blazers, logos and whiteboard wednesdays all day long as fair as I care.

[alias275 259]

Great stuff Theo, thanks for the heads up. I've been waiting to hear it for a while now.

[P-man 13,366]

So...what's the harm in this again? Provided that the song isn't woeful and doesn't get played every time we kick a goal, ala Gold Coast.

Chances are it will get played for a few weeks and then get shelved, rarely to be heard again. But it's at a unique point in the club's history. I like the idea, personally.

[Craig Drinker 179]

For mine, he's a writer of cheesy jingles. However, it's a matter of personal taste and no doubt he's a talented guy.

If it works for the majority of people it can't be a bad thing.

[dee-luded 2,959]

It's a grand old flag, it's a high-flying flag

It's the emblem for me and for you

It's the emblem of the team we love

The team of the red and the blue

Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue

As we sing this song to you

(what do we sing)

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the red and the blue

Oh, the team played fine in the year Thirty-Nine,

We're the Demons that no one can lick, lick, lick

And you'll find us there at the final bell

With the spirit of Twenty-Six, Six, Six

Every heart beats true, for the red and the blue

As we sing this song to you

(what do we sing)

Should old acquaintance be forgot

Keep your eye on the red and the blue

from this >

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Our song is the only thing going for us atm, by far the best song in the league.

[DeeVoted 583]

I have heard the song in its raw format. I will reserve judgement until it is properly produced in a studio.

I'll say 'Its a grand old flag' is well and truly safe,and so it should be.

But lets not can the idea yet, it will have its day in the sun for awhile, then more than likely die off in time.

Looking on the bright side, perhaps it can he played at start of club functions to raise some much needed funds. Then ending with our real club song.

But its a refreshing change from reading all the dribble and negatives that have been written about our club over the last 12 months or more.

If it's a good song....One that get the toes tapping and the hearts swelling.....You could play it over the summer months to encourage memberships and get the Melbourne Footy Club in the media during the off season....

Just a thought....

[beelzebub 23,383]

Well of course thered be..

"Lucky, youre @ AAMI !! "

there might be

"Up there Howey, up there and fly
Climb on a shoulder and showem your height
Up there Howey, take a hanger ag'in
Fight like a Demon, you're out there to win "

or the lesser know

"Rapt for Roos !! "

Aside from that Mike's also an advertising guru that a senior retired AAMI executive credited as creating the campaign platform that turned them into the huge business they are today.

Apart from that Mike's done NOTHING...NOTHING!!

[Machsy 2,858]

Reeks of Mike Brady desperately clawing for some relevance in the AFL today.

I couldn't care less.

Please let this die quickly before I have to hear it.

Have you heard Richmond's?

[Redleg 41,503]

Mike Brady wrote one of my favourite songs, The Courage In Their Eyes.

It was written for the 2000 Olympics and now is played before the big races at Caulfield for the MRC.

One of few songs that can get me emotional.

Certainly been plenty of useless information on the radio, however, "I try and I try and I try and I try" hasn't always been true.
