I like the Hermits Hermits ending there… perhaps segué into his Mersey Beat compatriots, Freddie and the Dreamers with How Do You Do What You Do To Me.

12 bar blues standard format.

    I was thinking of it more from a lyrical aspect rather than musical format.

    Kate's been working on a home base

    It's been more than a year or two

    We don't play home finals at Casey

    Against the Cats or Roos

    I guess patience is a virtue 

    I got the straight sets red and blues

    More than that, most people have us missing the 8 entirely 

    [censored]. We're still top 4 material easily.

    I think it was Gerry and the Pacemakers who sang that one. Freddy’s biggest hit was I’m Telling You Now. As in, I’m telling you now… we won’t go out in straight sets in 2024!

    I thought so too until I did a bit of searching, and it seems How Do You Do… was a Freddie and the Dreamers number.

    Just checking that (Shows how much time I have on my hands.)

    (10 mins later)

    i can find multiple references to Gerry and the Pacemakers doing that song. It’s in their singles list, their greatest hits list and on YouTube.

    As for Freddie et al and that song… ziltch. Maybe he did a cover version that was released on an obscure LP.

    You’re absolutely correct, so please accept my apologies… but I will be having words with my oncologist about the drug regime she currently has me on! 🤣

    And for a seamless transition into verse 3 :

    Dee girls are red

    Dee boys are blue

    Along came the finals

    And both teams shot through.

     

    You'd be forgiven for thinking it was from the same author poet

    "I got the straight set blues

    From my head to my shoes

    When the forwards fire a shot

    It's always there it is not

    Those straight set blues

    Those straight set blues.


    I've got those straight set blues

    Those old straight set blues

    Well you should see strong men quail

    Or just a Maynard fail

    Those straight set blues

    Those old straight set blues."

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
