Anyone remember these footy songs?
« on: April 03, 2010, 07:39:18 AM »
Coodabeen Champions, thanks mainly to Greg Champion, have delivered scores of songs about footy......... and the Richmond-inspired There’s a mob up Punt Road.

One of the best examples of a band referencing AFL footy is Melbourne balaclava-clad band TISM. Their song Morisson Hostel lambasts Jim Morrison fans, likening them to the Richmond cheer squad. Ouch.

One of their more imaginative, or ridiculous, songs, (Jumpin, jivin) Jimmy The Ghost Joyce, tells a fictitious story of Irish novelist James Joyce being recruited to Richmond by Tom Hafey and writing Ulysses on the siren to help the Tigers beat Hawthorn.
