Origins of our Club song
A stirring rendition of the French Anthem helped inspire the Club song.
The Brisbane Lions theme song is based on the French national anthem, La Marseillaise. The song was first adopted by the Fitzroy Football Club in 1908, and has been used by the Brisbane Lions since the two clubs merged in 1997.
There are a few different theories about how the song came to be associated with the Fitzroy Football Club. One theory is that the club's founder, Thomas Banks, was inspired by a stirring rendition of the French Anthem he heard while serving in the Boer War.
Another theory is that the song was chosen because it was a popular tune at the time, and the club wanted to create a song that would be catchy and easy to sing.
Whatever the reason, the song has become a beloved tradition of the Fitzroy and Brisbane Lions Football Clubs. It is a song that celebrates the club's history and its passion for the game of Australian rules football.
