Cheshire Setter Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not sure you can say ‘frogs’ these days. (I do however recognise the irony of me just saying it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 34 minutes ago, Trojan said: To be honest, Trojan, I have never heard it before, but I like it. The reference to scrums having push and test rugby being, from an Aussie perspective, the pinnacle of the game seem curiously nostalgic! It seems to have come off the same conveyor belt of simple, unpretentious sporting songs as two other good Australian examples and an equally good North American one, namely Mike Brady's, Aussie Rules' Up there, Cazaley and One day in September and Stompin' Tom Connors' The Hockey Song ('Good old hockey game'). These are all great songs; try not singing along when you have heard them a time or two! By contrast, if you haven't heard it, try Warren Zevon's Hit somebody! (The hockey song) Happily, it seems rather anachronistic now; cutting out much gratuitous violence has made the game much better in my opinion, especially at the level of skill on display routinely in the NHL. Bob Hope's wonderful one-liner, "I went to a fight last night and a hockey match broke out", almost seems hard to understand nowadays. Sorry, I have drifted off topic. Thanks for the video, Trojan; as I say, a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it I think there was a British version with the lines "whether you play at Headingley, Wembley or Tulus (Toulouse) inserted “Few thought him even a starter.There were many who thought themselves smarter.

M j M Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 And then there's this. Which I have on cassette somewhere. Something from the mid 1990s which feels like it belongs to the 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
