Kevin Costner is stretching to play his first completely evil character, a serial killer. (“Virgin” opened to $21.4 million in late August 2005 but went on to hit $109 million domestically.) That’s several boatloads ahead of where most observers see “Knocked Up.” Fully financed by U for a reported $30 million, pic is on track to open in the low $20 millions, though the studio says it will be pleased with anything in the high teens, especially given the legs potential. The second installment dipped 55% in its second week last summer a comparable drop would leave the third outing somewhere around $50 million. No matter which team gets up, the remixes of either "Yellow and Black" or "Big, Big Sound" slapped together by DJs in pubs all down Swan Street will unite celebrating fans until the early hours of Sunday morning.After racking up more than $400 million worldwide in its long-weekend launch, “At World’s End” should easily retain the weekend crown. The up-tempo brass, the chanting melody and the toe-tapping make it the perfect song to boost your spirits, and if you're not a Tiger fan and want to get behind the Orange Army, memorise the lyrics below and belt them out with gusto. "The fact is in Australia we don't have that many musical traditions, but that's one of them." One of the reasons why he felt compelled to compose the song was because he liked the fact there's a set of 'musical rules' and 'history' in all the great club songs. ![]() Seven years on, his vision has been proven right. "If you chuck electric guitar all over your footy songs, the way some clubs have, it might sound modern now, but in 10 years time, it will sound dated," Angus said in a 2012 interview. ![]() The song was initially labelled a "joke" by former Demon Russell Robertson, and singer Angry Anderson said it needed more guitar. It's certainly captured how the GIANTS have approached the first three finals, and above all, it's one of the only club songs that you could describe as a 'banger'. He turned to Winston Churchill's famous quote – 'never surrender'.Īngus gives all the credit to Churchill, but he loves how it's become the slogan for the Giants and likes to think the final stanza of the song has entered the team's psyche in terms of how they approach the game. Angus went away with that idea and thought about how best to capture something the players could really emphatically shout in the rooms after the game. Sheedy said the song needed a "yellow and black" moment to really rival Richmond for the best song. Most of the final studio recording was the same as the initial demo, but there was one request Angus remembers. I didn't hear from them for ages."Īngus then got the call to come up to Western Sydney to speak to players and coaches (including Sheedy and Mark Williams) about the song and got some of their advice. "I went home, knocked up a little demo and sent it in. They suggested to me 'oh you should send in a song because we don't have one yet for the GIANTS'," Angus said. "I got talking to a friend of a friend in a bar and they worked for the AFL. The Cat Empire's Harry Angus wrote the number, but he tells he wasn't commissioned by the club to create the theme song in 2012, he just asked Sheedy, as well as some coaches anĪngus tells the story of the tune's origin as we near the 'Grand Final of the best club songs'. Most fans would agree with Sheeds, but as for the unofficial second-best song in the League? Well, the AFL legend actually had some input in creating it. If the GIANTS win on Saturday afternoon, inaugural GIANTS coach Kevin Sheedy will present the premiership cup as " There's a Big, Big Sound" bellows from the speakers around the MCG.īut Sheedy, a former Richmond captain, has always believed " Yellow and Black" (officially titled We're from Tigerland) is the clubhouse leader in football songs. ![]() The GIANTS firmly believe the club's team song is the best in the AFL.
