Picture this.
Your side has just played out of their skin to cause an almighty upset, with a goal after the siren, sealing the deal.
You hug your mates, let out a raucous cheer, spill a bit of beer and prepare to unleash the most tone-deaf rendition of your club's song, as your players mob their match-winner.
As the opening notes ring out around your home ground, are you happy with the tune you're about to sing? Is it catchy, free of cringe and classic?
Some clubs boast anthems that hit the mark. Others don't. Here's my ranking, from ear sore to elite.

Just a good, solid tune. I love the reference to the loyalty of the faithful, given the lean years that followed the club's relocation from its South Melbourne heartland.
"Shaking the thunder down from the sky" is a very strong motif, and is the sort of language war cries need.
Good stuff, Swannies.
