- Channel 7 Melbourne asked advert jingle writer Mike Brady (Two Man Band) to pen a football song for their replays.
The song became so popular that Channel 7 released it as a single and it quickly shot to No.1 in the Melbourne charts during the 1979 finals series.
As a result of its Melbourne success it made the national Top 40, which probably left Sydney rugby followers wondering who Cazaly was. - Hudba
the best sports song ever produced! it hyped the VFL more than ever before
I loved it from England as they viewed the movie The Club a number of times
Still relevant in 2023.
Australia at it's best! I wish we still had these days .....
@@samuelspoons3553 Careful mate your gonna upset all the Leftists that have pretty much railroaded this once great country down the toilet. It's not about footy anymore, its all glbt, feminism, open borders and social media manipulation BS. Welcome to modern Australia, embrace the shame
@Louis Kim What is it with boomers making shit up to get angry about?
@@drewp.weiner5708 Tbf he's not wrong.
@@drewp.weiner5708 what is it about millennials that think they know better yet always soil their pants every time they get offended or told they did wrong.
A Chinese Australia today is so much better than back then……NOT!!!!
watching this every time makes me cry.................i left melbourne in 85 and since then in bloody greece... it remindes me good days at vfl park and mcg
Fotis koalas i know how you feel.Live in Athens and miss this kind of footy.Today all crap.
Me too. I have lived in the UK for over twenty years. But miss the footy so much! And thus song always makes me cry and makes me miss Melbourne. It reminds me of a different time.......
Same. Whatever happened to the good old days of footy? I missed spectacular marks, and unbelievable goals.
Such a classic song! Catchy tune too! Mike Brady definitely wrote a gem with this song!
In the UK a soccer team Derby County FC adopted the Up There Cazaly tune as the club anthem 'Steve Bloomer's Watching'.
shame we dont have ads like this anymore
Oh my GOSH!! This song is a masterpiece!! I'm a New Zealander, have visited Aussie in Dec 2004, and I love Aussie, and this INCREDIBLE song!! I picture brothers in arms here, in a pub, just having a good time! And even as a Kiwi, this to me, this song, it's the GREATEST sports song - in the WORLD!! It had me in tears quite literally, and I AIN'T ashamed to say it! This song here, it is jam packed FULL of passion, pride, power and emotion!! Well done Mr Brady!! You deserve PLATINUM for this!! When I first heard this song from a mate of mine, it just was stuck in my head for days, not hours, but DAYS! And I didn't want it gone! Man, God Bless Australia!! And thank you Mr Mike Brady for your masterpiece here!! It is incredible!! All the best, from New Zealand!! 👍♥️🏆🏆
I'm a Kiwi too. I first heard this song watching a Jack Thompson football movie. I think it was about the Collingwood club. No doubt someone can confirm what the movie was.
The Aussie national anthem, as well as Jmmie Barnes's "working class man". Makes me homesick
gets the vibe ready for grand final day . Great song
Up there Cazaly - Roy Cazaly (13 January 1893 - 10 October 1963) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He also represented Victoria and Tasmania in interstate football, and after his retirement as a player, turned to coaching.
one of the worlds best Rucksmen
The fabulous Graham Morgan on drums and l believe the great Alex Hutchinson on clarinet l had the honour of working with them at Scotts Hotel in the late 50 s
Still think Billy Picken’s mark is so under-rated, brilliant. And that’s coming from an Essendon supporter. God I miss real footy.
Makes me shiver. I can remember warming up to this song on load speaker at a grand final in under 18s . Where did the good days go. Aussie rules toughest greatest game of them all.
I remember when this song came out. Gee I loved it. Still do. Myself and my brothers would take turns taking 'speccas' over each other. Good days.
I think you'll find its spelt 'speckies'
dave smith speccies*
yeah nah mate specky is spelt with a k so why would speckies not
Same for up here in Queensland - we wondered who Cazaly was ... and we have one better than League up here ... WE have 8 State of Origins :P
Go NSW! We'll find our year sometime.
All I can say is, They were the days.
This song, IIRC, was slightly re-worded to become the victory song for South Melbourne when they became the Sydney Swans.
Our great football song marvelous.thats when they played football
Makes me a very proud Aussie.
Footy was the best when it was VFL the fights weren't pulling each others jersey it was full on rumble in the jungle.
Es macht Spass zuzuschauen wie die Sportler Ihr letztes geben Solche Spiele sollte es auch in Dortmund geben.
Now there's a classic! Was a kid at the time, and used to have to 7" single of this song.
Does anyone remember the variant that used to be shown occasionally at the start of the Saturday night replay? It started with Mike Brady singing on top of the scoreboard at VFL Park, if I recall, and opened with the words "There's a song that is sung through the length of the land..."
this is another Mike Brady, channel 7 closing credits song “When Footy Ruled the World” czcams.com/video/oep4BiX3X2g/video.htmlsi=jQCLsQONR27VPDEB

Greatest football song !!
great song
TRUE ANTHEM
@vancom75 it is put on at every grand final
Best footy song of all time.
When footy was a real sport
Ohhhh shitttt as a rugby convert its hard to convince that aussie rules was once like this
I wish US football had as catchy an anthem as this one!
“Footy you’re looking great” ;uncle Doug
Damo, couches still make the best speccy-bags i reckon...
❤❤❤
hairs on the back of my neck!
I'm a Sydneysider and yes, I remember wondering who Cazaly was. A tip though, no one calls Rugby League "Rugby" up here. If we shorten it, we call it "League".
Both better then Soccer but on a International level wish Australia had those AFL and NRL players for the Wallabies...AUSTRALIA YOU GOT TOO MANY EGG CHASING CODES LOL
@@samuelspoons3553 false
@@samuelspoons3553 cool story
Regards from Israel...been here since 1980.Carn the Hawks!
Richmond, go the Tigers!!!
No. 1 song in Oz on the charts back then.
I was 10. Timeless and pricelesx. Go Collingwood.
I miss Fitzroy and Footscray.
This is the Australian way and the country I love.
@APH1991
it is Waverley.
BTW Bill Picken’s (RIP) mark was the greatest mark of all time, hands down.
Collingwood Forever
0:28, geez look at the G.
Looks like Waverley at its peak.
how good is this?
I love 2:41
I am Batman
I think the game has changed. You don't see a bunch of players contesting a mark... perhaps due to a faster game.
At my under 7s in 1980 _81 the strathpine swan's went underfed to win the grand final all because of this song it would be playing as we ran on the oval ge e I mis s my youth go you hot pies coolingwood 2018 (14.17.101) to WC (11.15.81)
You have a team of champions that for sure. Doesn't mean I like you ;-)
1:59 was funny
Bro really punched a player
💀
GO EAGLES WHAT A SONG AH
when footy was GOLD, and it wasn't fucked up by the worst foootballer of all time...Andrew Demetriou
....only to be followed on by his puppet, Gil McLaughlin.
More interest in big corporate than grass roots football.
@@dhenderson1810 gil is a softie ceo
Back in the days when you had to take a punch to be a sportsman
Now you only have to boo to make them cry.
Now it's strict because of the tribunal
hi friends
😼GO THE CATS😼
STEVE BOOMERS WATCHING!! 🖤🤍🐏
I like the first line of this song "You work hard to make a living, but when the weekend comes around, you do whatever turns you on. Get out and clear your mind".
"Me, I like football. There are a lot of games around, but when you line them up together, the footy wins hands-down".
This is how footy should still be. These days, we have political issues, and the "outside world" encroaching on footy, when footy should be escapism, to forget the troubles of the week, and your biggest concern is how your team will play, and if they will win or lose.
Keep the fun in football, and political correctness out of it.

not like the crap they call 'footy' these days.
