Richmond legend Kevin Bartlett wants the club to re-record its theme song due to an error.

Bartlett tweeted on Friday afternoon that the song must be recorded again to fix the mistake in the song which is played at an AFL ground whenever the tigers win a match.

The line in question in the song which is played around Australia, states; "risking head and skin".

Where as the lyrics on the Richmond website and the correct lyrics are actually; "risking head and shin".

"It's about time Richmond re recorded its famous club song by singing the the correct words. It's risking head and shin not "skin" fix it," Bartlett wrote on Twitter.
