I awoke this morning with one of the previous songs used by the NRL to promote the code running through my head. Chumbawumbah I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down All about binge drinking.
Fair call, but they changed the context of the song, to refer to being knocked down, so to be fair their version wasnt
 They used the original song and *everyone* who listened to Triple J at the time knew exactly what the song was about. If they weren't aware of the double meaning then they are dumber than we think.Â
The title line was also a good description of the football at the time with a wide 10 metre rule and unlimited interchange.Â

But I see your point.

Do you reckon the majority of fans over 40 really took the words to the whole song in? Nuh, the majority of fans would have taken it for what they were mean't to take it for- a rugby league theme song.

Unfortunately I didn't need the song to make me drinks lots of whiskey and lager. That was my irish and scottish ancestors fault. Maybe it sublimily? made me drink vodke though.
We'll be singing When we're winning We'll be singing 2x I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whisky drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times "Oh Danny Boy Danny Boy Danny Boy..." 2x I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down Pissing the night away Pissing the night away He drinks a whisky drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sings the songs that remind him Of the good times He sings the songs that remind him Of the better times "Don't cry for me Next door neighbour..." 2x I get knocked down But I get up again You're never going to keep me down We'll be singing When we're winning We'll be singing
No, but seriously. Â The song was in the charts for ages so I struggle to see that anyone under 40 was under any illusions as to the content. Â It is one of the most banal and repetitive songs of the last decade. Â
