maybe if they did "the power of love" by huey lewis and the news, as "the power of league?"

Like it or hate it, it's catchy. Very catchy. Even people who don't follow the game will have it stuck in their heads. Easy to sing along to at the game, and the subliminal marketing would work well in Leagues' favour.

we need a repeat of simply the best. a big, popular name to endorse the game. simply the best still runs chills down my spin... and i only have childhood memories of it.

It's a jingle at the best.

I always used to get 'Chicken tonight' stuck in my head but i've never had it in my life. Same with the radio ad, 'It's easy... Clive Peters'

Jingles like that are great in advertising for promoting a lesser known name, but everyone knows what rugby league is. Nobody is going to want to go to games just because they use a catchy tune...

We need something powerful, which screams excitement.

clean it up, gets some professionals to record it it'll sound great. even if it only becomes the officail theme song for the roast it gets in peoples heads

we need to stop harking on about simply the best, that was in 92 it's time for soemthing new and decent

It's sh*t.

We need some heavy music for a change, something that gets the adrenaline pumping and makes you want to rip the head off some small weak insignificant animal.

How about "Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue" Always thought that could be a great advertising campaign song for League.

I expected the people saying it was awesome to think so because it's so bad, I can't believe some people on here seriously think it's a good song :lol:

(for the record I think it's awesome because it's so bad...HUH! Rugby league :p:lol:)

Royalties aside there'd only be one choice of song I'd go with.

Lost Prophets - Rooftops

Not even a fan of their music, but it's got meaningful "sieze the moment" lyrics and a strong adrenaline pumping chorus. A marketing compaign to fans encouraging them to "scream their hearts out" as one rather than alone in their living rooms would go well with the song.


When our time is up
When our lives are done
Will we say we've had our fun?

Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out.

All the love I've met
I have no regrets
If it all ends now, I'm set

Will we make a mark this time?
Will we always say we tried?

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your heart out.

[x2]
Standing on the rooftops
(Wait until the bombs drop)
This is all we got now
(Scream until your heart stops)
Never gonna regret
(Watching every sunset)
We'll listen to your heartbeat
(All the love that we found)

Scream your heart out [x3]
Scream your

Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
Standing on the rooftops
Everybody scream your heart out.
This is all we got now
Everybody scream your

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor

Beaten why for
Can't take much more

One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me

One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give

Now!

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor

Push me again
This is the end

One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me

One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give


Skin against skin blood and bone
You're all by yourself but you're not alone
You wanted in now you're here
Driven by hate consumed by fear

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
