this is a good song, its just about napoleon on his "holy grail" to conquer the world, and having the grand idea to march into russia in the winter an everybody dies... its a good song, if u dont like it then ur either a yank, or a Queenslander... which pretty much amounts u to a yank anyway,
haha... i thought this was suposed to be about *monty python* and the holy grail... so i was all "omg this song sucks!" but then I'm like "oh wait!... yeah it still sucks"
@rutt748 No it isn't. Its about the Crusades,if you listen to the song it reads and says: "But have you heard about the brave Crusade?" Meaning the crusade and thus The Crusades had over a few million marching all in one army and not split up at one stage and Napoleon didn't try to find The Holy Grail and those in The Crusades did!
there was nothing left to plunder= the russians burnt moscow to the ground as part of scorched earth policy. this is also explains 'the locals scattered they were hiding in the snow' and the lyrics in the last half of the song describe the grande armys retreat through winter
also while Napoleon's armys were scattered they comprised the largest army the world had ever seen at that point.
@crusader1829 No, the wikipedia page for this song says 'With lyrics referring to popular Holy Grail mythology, the song is an anthemic single inspired by Napoleon's march to Russia in 1812'
Google holy grail lyrics, then count all the pages that use the spelling "raised",
and then count all the pages that use the spelling "razed"
Normally, I don't use argumetum ad populem (see wikipedia again) but it should give you pause. Why do so many people use the word "razed"? Is there such a word? What could it mean???? Does it make sense in this...wait for it.... CONTEXT??
You should look that up to, when you figure out how to use a dictionary.
Well done!! This is not an AFL song you fool... how embarrassing it must be to be you, portraying hatred towards a song you have no understanding about. And disapprove it because you associate it with AFL. You really are pathetic. Not trying to convince you to like this song, but get your facts straight before you call it "gay".
For what its worth, this song is about Napoleon in Russia (the winter campaign)
The song has since become an Australian rules football anthem,[1] particularly with mistaken reference to the Premiership Cup and the AFL Grand Final. Channel Ten used the song to open and close its AFL broadcasts between 2002 and 2006. In 2009, Seymour performed the song as part of the AFL Grand Final's pre-match entertainment.
@nachos54 Go uck yourself with a Donkey's dick you Tool... FOOTY is LIFE fag
& ive been high & ive been low & i got no where else to go... except to where the holy grail is at maaaarfuka...the 'G' baby....... oooOOOOH THAT HAllow TURF ooooOOOO how i Love You B♣by♥ !!
did you guys even think about who wrote the song and when it was made? 1992, hunters and collectors, had nothing to do with afl, the league used if for like a year.Far our this is one of the greatest songs and you dont know what its about, mark seymour ( the lead singer) doesnt even follow afl
This was made for the a.f.l u nob jockey only for the a.f.l so get ur facts right we own it no other sport owns this this is the a.f.l's anthem i love this song to death its awesome as!!!!!
good song in my opinion australia n canada always have the best bands dont no why us brits have still got good old ozzy n sex pistols but thats it lol rock on
this is the best song in the world. one of australias greatest hits ever. its theme song of afl (australian football league) best song and by the ay mark sermours the singer. lol im 14 and i know this because they are the best ban din the world
Nice vid, but a few tips for making vids with lyrics. It's usualy easier on the eyes for you to put longer paragraphs instead of just every 4 words. and just don't do the whole "shaking camera" or w/e affect, really, lyrics are best with no effects.
