From Wikipedia: Roy Cazaly (13 January 1893 – 10 October 1963) was an Australian rules football player famous for his high marks and ruck work, which gave rise to the phrase “Up There Cazaly”. The expression later became the basis of a song recorded and composed by The Two Man Band (Mike Brady & Peter Sullivan).
The song was recorded in 1979, intended as a promotion for Channel Seven’s Australian Rules Football (VFL) coverage, and the following year, it was used in the film version of David Williamson’s The Club. The single, released on the independent Fable Records label, sold over 250,000 copies and became the largest-selling Australian single ever released up to that time…

Up There Cadely
When you pedal to earn a living
In July comes the time
They’ve made you captain of the team
They hope that you can climb
Me, I rode less races
Than the other pros around
To save my energy for the Tour
And put the hammer Down!
Up there Cadely, now in full flight
On Mur de Bretagne, you timed it just right
Up there Cadely, we know that you’ve been
Second twice over, this time its to win
Now there’s a lot more to the Rest Day
Than really meets the eye
Some like to eat a Wagyu steak
While I stay media shy
There were those that didn’t rate me
But I out-rode Contador
And if you match the Schlecks on Alpe d’Huez
You’re going to win the TOUR!!
Up there Cadely, you’ve shown you can fight
With BMC Racing, your team is just right
On the Galibier, where the air is thin
You silenced the doubters, believed in the win
Up there Cadely, you’re out there to win
No one can touch you, the zone you are in
Up there Cadely, the Schleck’s you’ve defied
Trial like a jury, the time’s on your side
Ahhh…
Up there Cadely, you’re out there to win
No one can touch you, the zone you are in
Up there Cadely, the Schleck’s you’ve defied
Trial like a jury, the time’s on your side
The time… is on… your side!
I love it, I love him, gettim up ere, I wanna boof him.
Solid, gold plated gold. We need the youtube hair brush, singing on bed version.

Someone out there somewhere has the footage of Hendo belting out George Michael’s Faith at Valedictory Day ’93…he’s been doing this stuff for a long time…and boy he’s good at it. Another pearler, La Sonic. Any chance of a follow up for the Vuelta…that One Day in September?

Bloody brilliant Hendo, I can hear it now. Any chance of getting the music and recording it? I reckon a youtube version would go viral in about 28 seconds, tipping the man himself would love it too…. Drew

Top idea Drew, I reckon its a goer! Toddy and I have already sent a version to the Coodabeen’s but it looks as if you can buy the backing music online. A couple of things:
(1) I can’t sing for shite
(2) How would we put together the background clip?
(3) Would need a suitably engaging front man.
I reckon the man with the star glasses could help us out on all of the above. What do you reckon Pants. Is it doable?
