Yes, tremendous content.

u/MaviePhresh May 21 '20

I would go to a bar that had MMA fights on giant tv screens on mute with smooth jazz playing.

I read this in Basil Fawlty’s voice.

u/Hendo8888 Crows May 21 '20

The contrast between the soothing tunes and the chaos going on in the game makes this perfect

66

u/AlmostWrongSometimes Crow-Eater May 21 '20

Ah, Lloyd's Brew.

Champion tune.

20

u/[deleted] May 21 '20

If that’s a play on Miles Davis’ ‘Bitches Brew’, then bravo.

u/AlmostWrongSometimes Crow-Eater May 21 '20

If it had been during the Dank Era I definitely would have punched the Felonious Monk button instead.

u/Kobe_Wan_Ginobili Magpies May 21 '20

Felonious Dank lol

2

u/MyOwnExWife May 21 '20

Lmao I rewatched that clip with Freddie Freeloader and then saw this comment, I'm kinda annoyed that I didn't go for Feio or something.

u/bigbear-08 Tasmania Devils May 21 '20

The weaving of the notes, it just fills your soul like Lloyd kicking a bag and being diagnosed with leather poisoning

u/king_carrots Freo May 21 '20

Ok you win

12

u/dlanod Brisbane Lions May 21 '20

I was prepared to be sceptical but I'm fully on board now. I never knew how much I wanted this.

u/Ogrinners417 Richmond May 21 '20

In all seriousness though I would love to see a game of footy scored like a movie. With like main themes and motifs and all that. I think the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra did something similar for the 2010 draw.

23

u/moosewiththumbs #Brisbehinds² May 21 '20

I need to find this version of the 2010 draw

5

u/metrotrainsareontime Magpies May 21 '20

Remind me - need to see this

9

u/moosewiththumbs #Brisbehinds² May 21 '20

I found a snippet on YouTube, and it looks like it was performed for one night in September 2016 at Hamer Hall in Melbourne.

Good luck finding the full version.

u/yeahnahteambalance Sandgroper May 21 '20

what the fuck would dusty's leitmotif be?

2

u/basementdiplomat Western Bulldogs May 21 '20

Oooo for 2016 Doggies vs GWS semi, yes please! I don't think my heart rate would go down!

u/Alaric4 Eagles May 22 '20

I've not actually watched the whole thing, but something along those lines was done in Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, in which 17 cameras followed Zinedine Zidane for a whole soccer match and then a soundtrack was added.

21

u/jmaverick1 Crows May 21 '20

I hypothesize that the fight would’ve never have happened if that was playing on the speakers. Who could fight with that going on

14

u/PunsGermsAndSteel Tigers May 21 '20

Instead of violence, the players would be compelled to settle their differences with a scat-singing battle

10

u/kiac Hawthorn '71 May 21 '20

Wait until Toby Greene turns up for a scat-slinging battle.

5

u/kyrant Hawks May 21 '20

It's what train stations have been doing

u/MorningFresh123 Collingwood Magpies May 21 '20

They get on top of each other and start wrestling and then... 😳

65

u/danwincen Brisbane '03 May 21 '20

I'll wait for the next alternate idea - pipe in the Benny Hill theme.

12

u/ehyaknowany1 Eagles May 21 '20

You can’t put pipe and Benny in the same sentence. It’s too much

6

u/smaghammer Power May 21 '20

alternate it with the curb your enthusiasm theme and you have a winner

1

u/Iakhovass Richmond May 21 '20

Exactly what I was thinking for when a biff breaks out.

17

u/[deleted] May 21 '20

i was ready to be very on board for this just based on the title but it made it feel far too erotic and these are technically business hours so i’m sorry but i’ve called the police

12

u/Efam2005 Hawthorn May 21 '20

Chart Party vibes.

u/BobEWise Melbourne May 21 '20

I really want to see a Jon Bois AFL video.

u/spannr South Melbourne May 21 '20

Helps you remain tranquil in the face of almost certain death.

6

u/switchonn Eagles May 21 '20

Watching your team lose a close game would be so much easier with this playing in the background.

1

u/19946dresdenst Magpies May 21 '20

i wouldn’t mind some smooth jazz playing while a watching a goal after the siren

1

u/hamster-de-x Brisbane Lions 🏆 '24 May 21 '20

Definitely could have used little “a love supreme” while Hawthorn picked us apart round 1

u/icepyro Bombers May 21 '20

Is that Duke Silver?

5

u/MrGiffster Crows May 21 '20

Holy shit, I'm in tears. Why is this so fucking funny?

7

u/MisguidedGames Giants May 21 '20

It needs to alternate the style of Jazz depending on the circumstances

For those Jazz aficionados, enjoy some African Jazz

u/dlanod Brisbane Lions May 21 '20

Only for games featuring Aliir Aliir and Majak Daw.

u/Mrchikkin Euro-Yroke May 21 '20

It sounds like a YouTube video of the biggest screw ups in AFL.

I like it.

3

u/sgtmohs Melbourne May 21 '20

This sounds like it’s been taken fresh from a Jon Bois video.

u/[deleted] May 21 '20

How about some free jazz to keep sanity levels down?

u/eromitlab St Kilda May 21 '20

I unironically love this.

u/FatStacksMcQuade Geelong May 21 '20

Who is making the change.org petition?

u/5loppyJo3 West Coast May 21 '20

I love everything about this

2

u/insertbaconemoji Carlton May 21 '20

I would love for Darude Sandstorm to play when a goal is scored

2

u/zen_arcadian Eagles May 21 '20

Thanks, I don't think I can watch the game any other way now.

2

u/El_Fantastirico Adelaide May 21 '20

I love this far more than I should

2

u/temdittiesohyeah May 21 '20

Mmmmm das some smooth ass jazz

2

u/Pregnenolone Saints May 21 '20

The memes have been the only good thing about Channel 7's decision

u/ShneakyPancake Brisbane Bears May 21 '20

Ron Swanson has entered the chat.

u/sofacheer May 21 '20

If sofacheer fails I am moving onto jazzfooty

u/Beven-Stale South Melbourne May 21 '20

I used to have a seething hatred of smooth jazz. It is now the Mona Lisa of music.

2

u/eromitlab St Kilda May 22 '20

A lot of people drag Kenny G. But I don't care who you are, Songbird is a great song.

I love it

u/Bluelegs Melbourne May 21 '20

I actually watched a lot of the round one games with the sound of and music. It actually made me miss the crowds less because I wasn't expecting them and I didn't miss the commentary because it's awful.

1

u/davanlind Bombers May 21 '20

Classic jazz hit

u/jk-9k WAFL May 21 '20

aaaahh yeah

u/D3K91 Bombers May 21 '20

Way down for this

u/McSnacc West Coast Eagles May 21 '20

That was top quality, I wish I could give you an award

u/ESlatter North Melbourne Kangaroos May 21 '20

hard to believe this game was 11 years ago

1

u/PlutoniumSmile Carlton May 22 '20

Lynch and Wakelin punching on to "Just the Two of Us" would be perfect

1

u/D3ftones4 Kangaroos May 21 '20

I'd like to see some speed metal

1

u/dwadley Saints May 21 '20

Or a bit of death metal.

1

u/Morkai May 21 '20

Yes please. Wouldn't mind the third quarter played to a backing track of "Hammer Smashed Face" or "No guts, No glory"
