Do we have a new theme song?

Long time reader first time poster and apologise for the trivial nature. Watching the new 'Pledge to Win' video on the MFC website tonight I heard way more banjo then I've ever notice in our theme song. 

Does this mean we have a re-recorded version, maybe including the word Melbourne as has been mentioned in years gone by.

    No. This version I believe is used for promotional purposes, to spruce it up a bit. It's been around for a few years now.

    That was posted in 2011 on Melbourne's YouTube channel. It's the same song just with a crisper instrumental and new vocalists. I doubt they'd ever place the game-day theme, though.

    Could be crm, but to me it just sounds like a synthesised reworking of the theme introduction for a few bars for the purposes of the ad. I was hoping it would have a bit of Metalica thrown in there somewhere :)

    It's funny how we all differ.........I loved that logo......Much better than the plain and boring one we have now.

    I found this on Bigfooty

    "Ron Tudor (Fable Records) had the bright idea in the early 70s that his company should get a brassy-jazzy musical backing group into a studio together with a group of male voices, headed by Barry Crocker, to record all and each of the 12 club songs. I think you could buy a 45rpm single in a suitably-coloured sleeve for about a buck and as well the lot were released on LP. Fitzroy's and Sth Melbourne's originals have had to be modified and this list has been augmented and modified; the initial recordings are musically-evident. Fable Records folded in 1984 so I guess the rights were bought by someone with some foresight".

    These are brilliant versions and shouldn't be messed with. Great singing and arrangements. Ours has banjo.... Awesome! Maybe it was Smacka Fitzgibbon? (I don't know). And Barry Crocker! (I didn't know this)

    Some info on "The Fable Label", which, in the early seventies, had some iconic Australian artists and hits.

    The re-worked version of our theme song makes me cringe. If someone from the club is reading please leave the original alone.

    I'd like to hear Hells Bells Pre Home games,  before the players come out to run thru the banner...   then the theme song after they break thru the banner,  & as they do their run-thru's.

    have they started doing this?  I heard they did something once?

    I just want to hear them play the words of the second verse (on 26 occasions ) this year!  It matters very little whether we have banjos or violins as any semblance of a tune is accidental once we start singing!

    good I'm glad... but the timing is everything.   add curtain raisers & away we go.

     

     

    # I didn't get to any games last season as I'm 2.5hrs drive from the 'G',  & 1 hr from the train.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval.
