I have a confession to make.
I love this Dee's theme song.
I don't know if it the tune or the Simpsons reference (see the Van Hautens Divorce episode) but I just love that song!
I'm sure if they beat us in a final I would get over it............IT'S A GRAND OLD......

I was somewhat surprised to hear strains of GDG in Lawrence of Arabia. It obviously must have been a pretty well-known song, particularly back in the first decade of the 20th century when our song was written.

Same as williamstown's song (gold & blue though) and I love it too. Sang it with some good mates plenty of times.

Actually if you want a great rendition of it, I stumbled upon it watching Michael Caine in Alfie (1964 movie i think), Has a band playing it and female singer.

That would have been great.
At what moment did they play it?

Collingwood supporters behind me really pst me off when i heard them bagging the song. I let them know how ignorant they were.
The worst part was that they were older supporters too. One of them said "someone has hijacked our song" and "what the hell is this". It really bothered me. Then one of the ladies said "atleast the played 'toxic' at the telstra dome last year".
Its like you support THIS club.... on THIS day... and you dont have any respect or any idea. Bandwagon freaks.
