It’s the same song, audio just a bit sharper. No problem.
Hopefully they improve the Carlton song the only way possible. By deleting it.

Interesting.
As an American myself I suspect the relative obscurity of EFC’s song’s melody compared to most of the other ones might have something to do with it.
Almost all of the club songs, at least the VFL foundation clubs, are already well known in this country in other forms.
Heard an interview with one of the Fable singers this afternoon. They got $100 for a days work on 12 songs and no royalties. So same-same.
I was all ready to hate it because the AFL said to do it, but really it’s essentially the same

Wait, one of them is still alive?
I just assumed those guys were old then and probably long dead.
It’s so close to the usual thing that there is legit zero point to any of this.
Classic

They sound like the digitised versions of team songs you hear on afl playstation games

Yes. And it’s better that way, I don’t want the GWS one to be turfed out of the club after only a few years.
As long as they don’t go near this one!

So are “the fable singers” just studio musos from fable records?
The AFL didn’t have much choice but to change after the lead singer of the Fable Singers came out and said he was bigger than Jesus

Well according to the news, the AFL has told the clubs they can either use the “new” or “old” one
So there goes the theory about royalties etc
Fat Ed has said the Pies will continue to use the “old” one
What about you Mr Tanner?

If we had any balls as a club we would be telling them to fark off too.
But, you know…
The AFL site says the new versions will be played at grounds. Not sure there’s any choice on that
I tell you what, I actually like the GWS theme.

See McLachlan ■■■■ up, up
The Dons are his punching bag
At half time in his polo game
When he looks for someone to blame
See McLachlan ■■■■ up, up
The journos line up to chee-eer
He’s the product of incest
A crook and racketeer
See McLachlan ■■■■ uuuuuuup!

Smacks Fitzgibbon and his banjo would be rolling in their grave
The song might be to me what the sash is to Benzina. Hoping we never use that garbage.
