Music against the Blaze

Last week we celebrated the Heritage Round with all 90's music, this week to help celebrate the '86 Champs we are going all 80's music.

Looking for some song suggestions that will help get the crowd clapping.

Also, if any posters remember any music that would have been played at Apollo back in the day, I'd love to hear from you too.

Dancing on the ceiling was played in a similar role as Moscow.

The old 36ers club song (can't remember the words), but surely those over 35 remember it. I loved clapping to it as a kid.

Thriller and Beat it by the other famous MJ

In the days of old , in the days of gold , in the days of ole King Cole.
I can see to myself that the sun is sinking ,
how I wish you were here to see.
Tell me now , am I wrong in thinking ,
that you have forgotten me.
Well they worry and they hurry and they fuss and they fret . They waste your nights and days.
Them I will forget , but you I'll remember always.
The days of old , when we dug up the gold , the days of Ken Cole.

We are the 36ers, the team for one and all, the pride of South Australia, the tops in basketball.

Aaaaah, the good ol' days.

Van Halen's Jump is a must.

No, that anthem was played from the early 90's after the move to the Powerhouse. The one I recall pre-dates that and was much quicker. It was something like:

"we're the 36ers, something, something, something,
we come from South Australia,and something, something something;
Da,da,da,da,da,da,da,diddi, di da,
We're the 36er, ....... .........

Lol! Good luck, like I said, can't remember the words.

Other stuff you might want to consider Skip:

Bound for glory (Rose tattoo) welcome to the jungle ( guns n roses) Live it up (mental as anything), great southern land (icehouse), respectable (mel and kim), locomotion by Kylie Minogue, working class man - jimmy barnes and livin on a pray (Bon Jovi).

ok, I'm done.

Music last week was fine however after successive 3's and when on a roll, why not "rocking all over the world"? Or moscow?

The only reasoning behind those songs are they are knwon by everyone including new fans.

I reckon adding Cotton Eye Joe and others is good but keeping old favourites and then adding new ones broadens the spectrum for all supporters.

Gotta remember, some dont like change as others do. So play music that people like (old) and new for the younger ones. That way everyone is happy.

Lastly, its a sport but for fans its about entertainment. Its not AFL or A-League

Get rid of the bloke saying "let's go sixers let's go" like he is at some country netball tournament , half the crowd saying one thing the other half saying another!

Bring back the old SIXERS then 3 claps/ foot stomps!!!!!!!! SIXERS doof doof doof and so on, I know what I would react to if I was playing.

And another thing start the defence chant then shut the hell up and let the crowd do it.

Anon is right. This "lets go sixers" is really pathetic. There is "adelaide" or "sixers" but then I guess, like I said, people l;ike favourites.

how boring!

Thought the music on a whole was pretty good tonight.
You played Moscow at the right time (possibly could have a couple plays earlier), but the crowd didn't take to it tonight for whatever reason.
