In short i have no idea.

Come down before the next game and i will go through some of the tracks with you and see if you can identify it.

I sit next to the opposition coach.

Thanks from me too. There was a silent cheer from us when it stopped, even if it was abruptly!

Yeah can't stand the addams family. Love Gary Glitter's ROCK'N ROLL PART 2, and the original ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST by Queen, not Wyclef!

It's a good job your doing overall mate!

And then he can do a real Music Man rendition during one of the timeouts and provide a laugh to the crowd.

I am the Music Man, I come from down your way and I can play ..... (crowd - what can you play) ..... I can play the Willie Farley, oh, chew some gum, chew some gum, chew some gum, chew some gum, killer crossover, inconsistent, score 40 or just 4 points.

I am the Music Man ..... and so on.

Nice, but to be fair to Farley, he's averaging 28+ PPG over the last 4 games. I'd hate for him to read your little tune and think people would remember that 4 point game over this last month!

It should be chew some gum, play up to the crowd, talk to the backboard support, blow a kiss to the camera, chew some gum, crossover opponent, miss a three, make a three, get a dunk, chew some gum.

Here's hoping that he finishes strongly and gets the scoring title from Wethers.

If you've got a beret, we know you've got the wig and giant sunglasses.

Actually, is this too much to ask?

I know that DJ has a rainbow wig. He's worn it to games in the past...

Yeah, seemings Sam Dunk has flown the coop, we need a new character at the games.

Maybe Music Man needs to take the initiative, and don the wig and glasses.

Maybe if we could get Neil Stanton to wear them as well, and have them as twins down the end of the bench :)

Yogee you sit at the other end of the bench perhaps you could wear the new bench uniform, I reckon Peter Walsh would - hey he wears those pretty wild shirts, why not go the wild hair as well. With the cricket over he should be back calling the game on the weekend.

I think the 36ers song needs an upgrade. It is too much like the Crows lyrics. Also the words cannot be read from the screen, as the writing is way too small for audiences to read. More would sing along , like in the early days, if the song was simplified and jazzed up. What do you think?

Oh no, not the song discussion again. There will only ever be one 36ers' song ..... the original.

We heard you the first time Pitstop, so let me take this moment to dig out my bango from 1981 and officially sing the real 6'ers anthem, so we can all remember the good old days when we hated West, and Pasadena High School was Daws Road.

The Adelaide 36'ers
The Team for one and all
The pride of South Australia
The tops in basketball
Cos we can jump and shoot and play
And win there is no doubt
We are the best team in the land
So come on all lets shout

CHORUS

We are the thirty sixers
The team for one and all
The pride of South Australia
The tops in basketball

A side for you to follow now
To cheer and shout and scream
We'll do our best to win for you
To be the greatest team
In zone defence or man to man
They'll find it hard to score
And when we get the ball ourselves
We'll run it down the floor

CHORUS

So stand by us throughout the year
We value your support
Cause one day we'll build the powerhouse
And end up bloody poor . (sorry added that bit myself)

And once we get into the lead
We never will get caught
In games away or games at home
It doesnt worry us
The end result willbe the same
We grind them in the dust

CHORUS (repeat the last two lines)

That's the one. Maybe Music Man could play it for old times sake this week at the last minor round game at the Dome. It might spark something great ...... didn't post 3x last time by the way!

The theme song was changed a few years ago when the NBL employed the lead singer of Chocolate Starfish (Remember them?) to redo all the teams theme songs to the tune of Classical Music. Ours was to the Ode to Joy, this song then got changed again when the line "here at the Clipsal Powerhouse" needed to be removed.

As much as i liked the original song too it is not my descision.

Bit of a long shot, but do you know what the lyrics are to the 'I am the music Man' song which was on Hey Hey Its Saturday Red faces in the 80's.
I have found the lyrics to the original song, but not the Red Faces' version. Can you help.

If i remember, it wasnt so much the words as it was the actions...eg...

push shoulders up into ears, hold arms still and run around...whilst singing....

gladstone, gladstone, gladstone small, gladstone small...etc.

All right now you've done it.

The English Cricket team (Yes from a few years ago) go to a chinese restaurant. Graham Gooch orders for the team and orders them all an entree of turtle soup.

So half an hour goes past and Gooch demands to know where his entrees are.

Gooch : Waiter, what seems to be the problem? We've been waiting half an hour for an entree.

Waiter : Very sorry, sir. The chef is having problems killing the turtles. The little buggers keep pulling their heads in when he goes to lop them off.

Gooch : Well, tell him to bring out a meat cleaver, a chopping board and a couple of turtles.

So the waiter disappears, returns with the chef, a meat cleaver, a chopping board and a couple of turtles.

Gooch places the chopping board down, grabs a turtle, jams his finger straight up the poor things arse and, when it pokes it's head out in shock, he decapitates it.

Gooch : Got it, Chef?

Chef : Not sure, sir.....Can you do one more?

So again, Gooch places the chopping board down, grabs a turtle, jams his finger straight up the poor things arse and, when it pokes it's head out in shock, he decapitates it.

Gooch : Got it now, Chef?

Chef : I think I have, sir.....Many thanks.

Waiter : Very good Mr Gooch, but as the captain of the English cricket team, how did you now how to do this?

Gooch : We go to many functions in our position as International Sportsmen, some of them quite fancy. I've found that this is the only reliable way to get a neck-tie on Gladstone Small.
