Updated Club Song

[Eaglemaniac]

What the * is a "Leachsclusive" and WHY IS IT ALL IN CAPS?

Someone needs to tell him to stop trying to make Leachsclusive happen.

 

[Ghossein]

Fun fact: if you google Leachsclusive you get two results

1. The original tweet
2. larrikin's post saying "what the * is a leachsclusive"

Feel like someone has sent Goss the 2018 song and he's gotten confused and thought it was a new one because it sounds different to the original, thought he had a big scoop and went live with it.

WHY IS IT ALL IN CAPS?

Because it’s major, clearly.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I think it works ok as a song after a win at home after you've played the club song, Eagle Rock, THEN as fans a filing out of the stadium you play the song.

It would certainly encourage me to leave the stadium.

If you go back to 2018 threads the song is bagged then too.

Even after the flag people were saying it brings you down coz you can't really get into it and belt it out, especially the start

Go back to this. Just bloody copy this version.

Who cares if we say wise men from the east, its a competition and you need rivalries.

Chuck on the chorus of The Stones' Can't Always Get what You Want opening the song and could play it after a win or loss.

Our song has always sucked. But any version is better than the one we have now so… can’t get worse? Can it?

How would you feel if you were Birds of Tokyo. Get asked to make a new song. 3 years later yeah we're getting rid of it its s**t.

Well they had the option of not desecrating our club song and not making it completely Sh@!...

Takes me back, gets me pumped, makes me think of Jako running around the MCG holding the cup up with one hand.

Yes it was very brave having a song that was going to be hopelessly dated after ten years, but surely we can make up some new words and keep that killer intro? We're the only team to have come up with a brand new song in the *ing 80s for christs sake and we should totally own that

Without going through the whole thread and clarifying if opinions have changed but on the OP of this thread Farang83150 and Hai Newman loved the post. Changed your minds or sticking to your guns?

They should have made a less s**t sounding song then

Ian should have used Karnivool to do the song instead of the Soy Birds Of Tokyo.

I honestly couldn't give a FF what the song is.

Let me know what you all think. It would obviously need to be recorded properly, making the chorus more triumphant etc. We could get an Aussie opera singer to record the vocals.

For We Are The Eagles
(To the melody of ‘Feniculi Fenicula’.)

From Perth, the place of birth of an institution, our club is born (our club is born)
For we, stand on the shoulders of our champions, foundation formed (foundation formed)
To win, we travel all across the nation, on wings we fly (on wings we fly)
We play, to bring the flag back to our fortress, it’s rightful home (it’s rightful home)

West Coast, West Coast
Royal blue and gold
West Coast, West Coast
The premiership’s our goal
Nil to deny
We’ll show you why
We own the ground
We own the sky
For we are the mighty Eagles and we’re flying high

Don't think it would necesssrily be an opera person - just a decent singer.

I'm sure if people heard it sung they would like it.

I must be living under a rock but seems a bit quiet on this front. Surely Goosage wasn’t leading us on?

If change is on the foot for sure, I’d imagine we would see a reveal at the Club’s Season Launch event, whenever that is scheduled to be, seems like the appropriate time to do it.

Have they changed the song or not ?

Hope we don't have to wait for a win to find out

Maybe we'll hear if change is coming during tomorrow's Season Launch.

If it is reverting to the 2018 rendition, I'd be happy with that, if it's the only option.

Might not find out until after the bye
