North Melbourne to record new version of club song with You Am I frontman Tim Rogers lead vocals
Roos players, club staff and a lucky group of fans will sing on the recording.
The song — which will include the chanted “Hearts to Hearts” preamble missing from the 1970s version — will be used as the centrepiece of what North chief executive Carl Dilena hopes will become a new home-game ritual for Roos fans.
The Rogers version will replace the 1970s edition of Join In the Chorus at North home games and will be played when the side enters the arena.
North fan Rogers has already begun work on the track and will lead a club-wide recording of vocals at Arden St next Tuesday.
Rogers did not need to be asked twice when approached about recording a full version of the song.
...
“Tim loves the song — he’s got two or three favourite songs in his life and one of them is Join In The Chorus,” Dilena said.
“Last year there was a game where Tim was in the stands — it was the last quarter and we’ve made a good comeback; looking like we would win.
“(In the) last few minutes of the game, Tim stood up in the crowd and got the whole crowd around him singing the club song.
“It’s just fantastic to have him involved.
“He’s excited about it — without even prompting, he went and booked a recording studio and got a group of his muso mates together and they started work on it.
“It’s great to have someone like that who loves the club and wants to get involved.”
The older version of the North song — based on the Scottish ditty A Wee Deoch and Doris and recorded by the Fable Record Label singers in 1972 — will still be heard at the clubs’ away matches.
The Rogers version will be uploaded to heraldsun.com.au when the production process is finished later this month.

There's a red (and a green, blue and yellow) button on the Foxtel remote control which is used to activate multi channel stuff, most commonly for 6 Premier League games on one channel. Last year they started offering team-oriented alternative AFL commentary, and that game was the best ever example.

Yeah we got a weirdly broken stream for the saints vs lions game the other day. Worked well enough except the commentary dropping out, phil collins coming on a third track for like 2 minutes for no reason and kids screaming into the camera mic.

MMM is good because the commentators are in control of their inane poo poo and so it sounds natural. On occasion, it's really loving funny. On the tv we get to hear what some 7 exec thinks blokey banter is supposed to sound like.

If you listen to anything other than the east coast Grandstand team by choice you are a godless heathen.

Also the AFL is calling the sydney vs freo nab challenge match the 'pride cup' to raise awareness against homophobia.
