That Friggin Team Song
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2009 4:25 pm
I played a game of Aussie football this year in the mud. It was hailing and dangerously cold. I ended up kicking the winning goal which was a lot of fun. Then the siren went and all of a sudden my enthusiasm fades as I know of what is to come. The only thing I really want to do is go home and curl up in my bed playing X-Box with the heater on. But in reality I have to go into the change rooms, hug a bunch of people I don't even get along with that well and sing the same bloody tune every time we win. It goes something like this, for privacy reasons I'm changing the team name to "Milkshakes".
Milkshakes the team that you all want to follow.
We play to win HEY! We play it smart HEY!
We always play it tough and never stop until it's over.
We are the green HEY! The gold and blue HEY!
Side by side you know we're gonna stick together!
(some part I don't remember followed by)
Cause there aint no team like the Green, Gold and Blue.
I LOVE YOU BABY, AND IF IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT I NEED YOU BABY, THROUGH ALL THOSE LONELY NIGHTS SO LET ME LOVE YOU BAY-BEH LET ME LOVE YOUUUUUU
It's like some god awful hybrid of 1950s jazz and "We Will Rock You". And I'm supposed to look excited singing THAT, while some morons drench me with water as if it's going out of fashion. But it's an important thing to learn as a footy player. Why? We could all be singing it in harmony and actually hitting the notes and I fail to see how it improves our performance on the field. I'm not sure if many other footy codes have this tradition, but it is a very bad one and wastes valuable time in which I could be having a warm shower in.
