Glory, Glory to the Broncos

[icewind]

to be fair to the song, at least if brisbane have it, it'll be heard more frequently when it matters.

when was the last time that tune was belted out when it really counted?

i had flares & a paisley shirt.

& side-levers that touched my broad lapels.

*hums ted mulry song "falling in love again"*


*exits*

we're just helping to keep the song alive, never gets sung nearly enough by the rabbitohs. :lol:

Whingeing is a registered patent of Wayne Bennett, which was taken out 5 minutes after Sparkles McGaw scored that try, and he threw his headset.

He has been going strong ever since, just ask the Roosters.

Then Souths must owe Wayne a sh*teload of money, because they started whinging when they got booted out, haven't stopped since and don't look like stopping anytime soon.

 

[sretsoor]

I'd be happy if another team took the Rooster Man song lol.

I'm glad that we will no longer be using it.

Chump change for the Big Man, he couldn't be bothered asking for the royalties.

It's still available for download on www.sydneyroosters.com.au

I feel quite conflicted over this issue.

I'd love a club 'song' more then anything, but I feel this song is going to be more drama then it's worth.

I can't understand how the club came to the conclusion that applying the music of the Souths song to a Broncos 'wording' wasn't going to be jumped upon and bagged off.

Like Bruno said, hopefully Richo will kick up a sh1t and the thing won't get off the ground.

The article says they're pretty much just using the tune more so than the lyrics, which isn't a souths origonal I do believe. Someone give these guys a king size tissue to go have a cry in.

I always thought it was from the US Civil War song - Battle Hymn of the Republic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Hymn_of_the_Republic - sung by the abolitionists - but maybe they ripped it off the bunnies as well

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

This would be so easy if it was AFL.

Pick any song from the following artists;

The Communards.

The Village People.

Savage Garden.

 

[melon....]

Who cares!? Its not as if Souths wrote the song that was used extensively through the American Civil War. Its a crock of shi'ite.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Are any of them "legends" still alive? Does anyone in the Broncos give a toss?

Souths need to start winning some games before anyone listens to them.

All the legends are alive and well.At least we have "Legends"

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Speaking of forgotten, the Bulldogs tried out a new club song mid-2006 which flopped like an absolute b*tch.

Brisbane once again showing their arrogance, Soufs legends once again trying to get their name in lights... that's all it is.

South's Legends do not need to get their names up in lights,because they are already bona-fide Legends in the first place.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Its sung at every home game and at Souths functions.

 

[Mr Angry]

Everyone knows that song – it is very special

For the record, my wife would NOT know this song at all, probably does not even know of South Sydney either.

I am sure my daughter would not know it either, unless Justin Timberriver sings it too.

 

[Titanic]

I'm surprised the Rabbitoh's and their "legends" ( it seems one only needs to pull on a rabbitoh's jumper to become a legend these days ) haven't called for all red and green to be removed from other teams jumpers or they have to pay royalties to souths. After all the colours red and green were invented by souths, along with league, sliced bread and whinging.

My sentiments exactly. Mind you the "round ball" tragics here tell me that the tune is a Manchester United tradition (not Hotspurs who are in fact called the Yid Army).

Anyway the Bronx have a sorry case of "head up their own arse" if they can't be more progressive with their thinking - terrible tune anyway. Why not if "you're proud to be Bronco clap your hands" or any other mindless childish chant. The Monkees theme was sooooo appropriate.

 

[Pierced Soul]

as funny as it is seeing soufs get all riled up, they are correct, the broncos needed something original (or at least something other teams arent using).

I havent heard it, I hope it dies in the water and goes away. what's wrong with 'lets go broncos'? at least it's better than gooster man or that 'click goes the shears' thing parra used...

besides souths (and maybe the dragons -though they did have that horrible 'one eyed dragons supporter' song) do any other supporters really care about a club song?

 

[Raider_69]

hilarious

by the end of this year that "glory, glory to the broncos" song will have already surpassed the amount of times souths have played it in the past 20 years! :lol:

Wasn't John Brown on the Souths board until the Rusty/Holmes a Court buy out last year?

 

[skeepe]

Bloody storm in a teacup.

What did the Souths legends think of

"We're the bad and mean red and green machine. Fearsome men from South Sydney."

Now where do I know that from....

 

[Tom Shines]

Funny enough that a cover of a Village People song is so appropriate for the Roosters.

 

[greenhat]

I would say Raiders fans are pretty keen for the Green Machine song. I know I've sung it drunkenly at parties (here in Canberra) and had randoms join in with me.

I assumed that was the same for every club but I just didn't know their songs. Is it?
