S1E95: Phrase - Jingle - Song - The History of "Up There Cazaly"
Manage episode 329364999 series 3353569
Up there Cazaly was a hit song for Mike Brady in 1979. It became synonymous with Australian Rules Football and now, even 40 years later we cannot imagine it not being a part of the AFL’s Grand Final entertainment.
If you don’t follow Aussie Rules Football but you are Victorian you would be aware of the song.
If you do follow the footy you could probably sing it off by heart.
But Roy Cazaly’s playing career finished 92 years ago in 1927. To remember seeing him play in a game you’d have to be about 100 years old.
It was over a quarter of a century later that Mike Brady arrived from England with his family and it was another quarter of a century later that Mike wrote a song about him.
Why did Mike Brady write a song about Roy Cazaly 50 years after he finished playing?
Is it true that it was never intended to be a full song?
Who was the radio announcer friend of Mike Brady’s who nagged him to make it happen?
What did the Cazaly family think of the song?
Please listen here to the definitive story of Up There Cazaly.
